At
long last–accountability by American Catholics
By Regis Martin
In the 30 or more years since the Supreme Court systematically stripped
unborn children of their right to life, an alarming number of Americans
have come to terms with a culture of death. But for those who have
signed on with the pro-life movement, the struggle continues despite
widespread acceptance of abortion.

By

The installation of Peter Leo Gerety as its third archbishop on June

Celebrating
liturgy, an essential mission
 |
Sr.
Sandy DeMasi |
By Liesl Fores
When it comes to coordinating, one chancery department stands out—the
Worship Office. Organizing beautiful and deeply spiritual Masses and
prayer services is what makes the work of this office a true ministry.
While the goals of the Worship Office are many, its general mission
is to assist and support parishes, ministries and individual groups
in their faith formation and participation in the liturgy, and to
make the liturgy an experience that brings Catholics closer to God.

Charities; Most Rev. John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark;
Donald M. Daniels, CEO of Catholic Health and Human Services;
Anita Holland, Executive Director of Mount Carmel Guild
and Vice President of Cathedral Healthcare System; Henry
J. Amoroso, COO of CHHS, and Louis Amato, President and
CEO of Cathedral Healthcare System and Trinity Management
and Technology Corp.
At
a recent presentation to corporate board members and chancery
officials at the Archdiocesan Center, Newark, the management
of the newly formed Catholic Health and Human Services
(CHHS) group announced its strategic vision for furthering
the mission of the Archdiocese of Newark.
Donald
M. Daniels, the chairman and chief executive officer of
CHHS, said that the new structure is one of the first
of its kind in the United States. It is a response to
the “tremendous challenges faced by providers of
healthcare” today.
The CHHS “umbrella” covers four operating
units: Cathedral Healthcare System, Catholic Charities
of New Jersey (formerly Catholic Community Services),
Mount Carmel Guild Behavioral Health System and Trinity
Management and Technology Corporation.
Henry
J. Amoroso, the vice chairman and chief operating officer
of CHHS, provided a strategic overview of the revamped
corporations that are designed to “deliver on the
mission of the Church more efficiently.”
Each
agency within CHHS will work on an “advocacy model,”
challenging, “competing” and complementing
the other units. Trinity is to provide “back office”
support for the three service corporations. Archbishop
Myers, who led the meeting in a benediction, also praised
the hard work and commitment of the respective governing
boards
Future
plans for CHHS include a new breast cancer center at Saint
Michael’s Medical Center and the Bishop Francis
Center for Social Justice, which will help, in part, to
combat the blight of human trafficking.
