July 7
Fr. James Clark, Associate Pastor, Holy Rosary
“The Catholic Doctrine of Mary and Its Roots in Ancient Christianity:Insights from Blessed John Henry Newman”
Fr. James Clark:
“In this
presentation, I will examine Newman's defense of the Catholic doctrine
of Mary and her role in salvation. I will focus specifically on
Newman's discovery of the role of Mary as the "New Eve" in the writings
of the Early Church Fathers. By examining this ancient doctrine, it
will be clear to all that the role of Mary in salvation, though
infinitely inferior to the role of Christ, as the one mediator between
God and man, is in fact a doctrine of great antiquity that comes to us
from those who were closest in time to the apostles. The doctrine of
the New Eve provides a defense of and an avenue toward all other
Catholic beliefs about Mary.”

“Focus: Forming Catholics for Life”
Mike Perkins,
Senior Director of Philanthropy
What is your favorite part of working in Mission Development?
"I love serving FOCUS through the ministry of philanthropy because it brings hope for the Church. Benefactors
love learning about Focus and enjoy supporting it because it provides
them hope that their children and grandchildren will embrace Jesus
Christ and His Catholic Church. They feel joy when they give to meet the
needs of our missionaries and the support the DSC provides to nurture
our growing ministry. And I feel greatly blessed to awaken each day
knowing I get to labor on behalf of what I believe is THE most effective
ministry in the Catholic Church."
