2008 AQUINAS LECTURE - "IMMIGRATION AND INCLUSIVITY"
The Most Reverend Bishop John C. Wester gave a lecture entitled "Immigration and Inclusivity," in which he calls for just treatment of immigrants and a sweeping reform of our countries current, broken system of immigration. The lecture was given January 27, 2008 at St. Catherine of Sienna Newman Center.
Urban legends are a species of folklore to which we have all been exposed. Did you hear the one about the beehive hairdo that contained a nest of spiders? Or how about the gullible customer in Mexico who was sold a chihuahua dog that turned out to be a rat? Well, there is a Catholic urban legend that has come to me from two independent sources in Ogden.
Prayer to St. Gabriel, for Intercession O Blessed Archangel Gabriel, we beseech thee, do thou intercede for us at the throne of divine Mercy in our present necessities, that as thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation, so through thy prayers and patronage in heaven we may obtain the benefits of the same, and sing the praise of God forever in the land of the living. Amen.

"Abide in Christ: Our Journey Together" is the theme for this year’s drive. Abide in Christ, Bishop Wester’s Episcopal motto, is from the Gospel of St. John (15:4). In this Gospel, Jesus shares with us his beautiful prayer for unity. The support of each parishioner in the diocese is requested for this important annual appeal.
