  Abstract: Carrie Petite Abidosh (Red Cliff Chippewa) entered the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, in south-central Pennsylvania, in late 1911.1 During the next three years, school officials considered her a problem student: "Carrie's record here has not been at all satisfactory … [and] her influence is not good at all. …"2 The exact conduct is unclear, but she was viewed as uncleanly and "very lazy."3 In 1914, school administrators decided to send Carrie away; yet, rather than returning her home, the officials sent Carrie to live with Catholic religious sisters.4 Why' Carrie Petite Abidosh was Catholic.At least 1,149 Catholic students from reservations attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial School from 1883 to 1918.5 It ...

  Abstract: In 1939, the Catholic University of America (CUA), in Washington, D.C., founded the Commission on American Citizenship, which sought to provide students attending parochial schools "with experiences calculated to develop in them the ideas, the appreciations, and the virtues … to live in accordance with Christian principles in American democratic society."1 In doing so, young Catholics would be given an understanding of the state and citizens' rights and duties. It would affirm a worldview that was unapologetically and comprehensively Catholic.2 In this way, the Commission embodied and uplifted an impulse that defined Catholic life in mid-century America. As historian Philip Gleason framed it, this impulse aimed at ... Read More

  Abstract: The Young Christian Workers Movement (YCW) was a unique phenomenon in the United States. Although a bastion of social action in Europe since World War I, the movement did not emerge in the United States until 1938. It was a remarkable success story in the 1940s and 50s, but it experienced an astounding decline in the 1960s until its demise in 1970. Its dedication to specialized Catholic Action separated the YCW from movements like the Catholic Worker. The "like-to-like" apostolate, in which workingclass laity collaborated with each other, is an under-researched aspect of social activism during the first half of the twentieth century, often being conflated into the auspices of Catholic Action. This study will reveal ... Read More

  Abstract: In January 1943, Edward F. Hoban assumed his appointment as coadjutor to the bishop of Cleveland, assisting the ailing Archbishop Joseph Schrembs, who was fighting a losing battle with diabetes.1 In his new post, Bishop Hoban found an ecclesial environment similar to that of Chicago, where his priestly career began. Both were in big cities located on one of the Great Lakes, had growing Catholic populations, and had a significant number of ethnic parishes. He brought an episcopal philosophy shaped largely by his career as an auxiliary to Mundelein, as well as an abiding respect and affection for the brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross, who educated him in his early years at Saint Columbkille in Chicago. These ... Read More

  Abstract: The Archdiocese of Chicago was set to close Providence-St. Mel, the only Catholic high school on the city's West Side, at the end of the 1973–1974 academic year. Dwindling enrollment and growing costs were cited as the primary reasons.1 In response, approximately 200 students and parents, along with the school's principal, Paul J. Adams, met with the archdiocese's vicar general, Msgr. Francis Brackin, "to beg for the continued life of their school." But they did not receive the response for which they hoped: Brackin indicated he did not have the power to reinstate financial support to Providence-St. Mel and stressed it was impossible to maintain funding, asserting that the archdiocese did not have an "inexhaustible ...

  Abstract: In the twentieth century, American Catholicism experienced growth in significant institutions and forms of ministry. The 1919 organization of the National Catholic Welfare Council (renamed the National Catholic Welfare Conference in 1922) provided the U.S. Church with an official voice to respond to issues of the day. Catholic education's growth, especially after the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore and its edict to form Catholic schools in all parishes, enabled more youth to receive a Catholic education. Catholic Action, seen most prominently in groups like the Catholic Worker Movement, Friendship House, and Young Christian Workers, strengthened the Church's ties to the poor and underprivileged.The ...
