The Archdiocese of Chicago has appointed Fr. Matt Jamesson as the first associate pastor of SS. Matthew and Hubert Parish. Fr. Matt comes to us from St. Theresa in Palatine. As you may know, St. Hubert was originally a mission site for St. Theresa back in the 1950’s when our founders were worshipping in a tavern called the Buggy Whip. I think it’s a great sign! (If you haven’t seen the video on these years, visit our homepage on the website.)  We’ll introduce you to Fr. Matt in the weeks ahead. He will begin July 1.

This CTU course starts June 1 and is based on the premise that the long term efficacy of our various ministerial praxes as peace-builders is at risk as long as we continue to ignore or under appreciate what science has to teach us about the evolutionarily ingrained, and largely unconscious dynamic of “Us/Them-ing.” It is designed to provide theologians and ministers with a foundation for constructing more robust theologies of conflict and conflict transformation by introducing and exploring what certain key discoveries in contemporary neuroscience, group identity formation theory, moral foundations theory, and relevant themes in social psychology teach us about the inevitability but also the plasticity and moral potential of the processes by which we divide ourselves into “Us”es and “”Them”s.

Today, the Attorney General of Illinois published a report on the state’s investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse against clergy in all six Illinois dioceses, including Chicago. The report covered a period of 90 years. It looks at how the six dioceses responded over the years and is currently responding. The Cardinal’s statement provides some clarifications as well as the policies and procedures that have been in place since the early 1990s to address the sexual abuses and to help victims who have come forward for support, healing and justice.
