“CHANGE OF PLEA IS ALLOWED BY JUDGE,” Montreal Gazette. January 11, 1933. Page 4. ---- Man Charged With Stealing Relief Vouchers Now Denies His Guilt ---- TWO FURTHER ARRESTS ---- Young Men Plead Guilty to Charges Preferred Against Them - Counterfeit Investigation Continues ---- "While, the police continued investigations concerning counterfeit direct relief vouchers of the St. Vincent de Paul Society found in a vacant Notre Dame street east apartment, Alcide Carmel, 5001 Notre Dame street west, appeared before Judge Tetreau yesterday and asked permission to change his former plea of guilty to the charge of stealing vouchers from the Hochelaga branch of the society. Carmel was charged with having stolen vouchers to the value of $300, the allegation being that he obtained them from Louis Mayer, vice-president of the society for the parish of la Nativite d'Hochelaga, who appeared with Carmel on their arraignment a week ago and pleaded guilty to the charge of conversion of vouchers. Permission for a changed of plea was given by the judge. 

Two further names have been added to the list of those accused in connection with frauds arising from St. Vincent de Paul direct relief vouchers. 

Fernand Rheault, 23 years of age, 2105 Chambly street, and A. Guerin, 23 years of age, 1433 Valois street, both of whom have pleaded guilty on arraignment before Judge Tetreau charged in connection with St. Vincent de Paul frauds, are awaiting sentence, which is set in each case for January 17. The former, assistant secretary of the Ste. Jeanne d'Arc parish branch of the St. Vincent de Paul society, was charged with having stolen direct relief vouchers to the value of at least $150, and the second was charged with having negotiated the vouchers. 

In admitting their respective charges, accused volunteered to reimburse the society with the amount stolen. 

"You stand charged with very serious offences," Judge Tetreau said, in refusing to be party to such an act at this stage. "You have pleaded guilty, and nothing you can do now can alter the charges against you." 

MANY FAKE VOUCHERS. In the meantime, action by the police is proceeding in the case of counterfeit direct-relief vouchers found in an unoccupied apartment on Notre Dame street, near Nicolet street. It was divulged that the vouchers, to the values of 25 cents and 50 cents, found hidden under a carpet, numbered several hundred, amounting in value to about $250. Other information is to the effect that many more thousands of counterfeit vouchers were either destroyed by fire or thrown into the St. Lawrence when the sensational investigation was sprung by the municipal police. 

Experts have declared that the counterfeits are well made but in certain respects can be clearly distinguished from the regular vouchers .

Hello :)

Do you have any tips on where I can donate stuff to? I see you talk about donating and helping the needy sometimes (something I keep wanting to do more of) I feel bad cuz I haven’t been too involved recently :/

I really want to help out or give stuff to people who need it more

Good Afternoon!

Don’t worry, it’s never too late to donate. I got you covered! A good place to start is your own diocese webpage!

Other examples:

- your own family members in need

- your next door neighbor

- your friends

- your church (this is probably the most active with a variety of options!)

- Mental Health Ministry

- Knights of Columbus

- Marians of the Immaculate Conception

- EWTN

- Relevant Radio

- pro life crisis pregnancy centers

- Maggie’s Place

- St. Gianna’s Place

- food banks (don’t donate expired food and be mindful of what is currently most needed) like this one

- hospitals (medical supplies like canes, wheelchairs, etc)

- St. Jude

- homeless shelters (think of clothing, gift cards, food, etc)

- nursing homes

- schools

- You can even donate to homeless on the streets. I always carry an extra bottle of water when I drive, as well as prayer cards and Rosaries. If that person is not next to the highway exit, I’ll go buy them fresh food. For homeless dogs, I have a bottle of water and some dog food in a bowl.

Various members of The Daughters of Charity, a society of apostolic life, wearing their distinctive cornette wimples.

The cornette was popular among Parisian women up until the early 19th century, and consisted of a starched white cloth that was folded upwards to resemble horns. When the Daughters of Charity was founded by St. Vincent De Paul in the 17th century, he wanted the sisters to resemble ordinary middle-class women as much as possible to allow them blend in while leaving their cloister to attend to the sick and poor. The distinctive wimple meant that members of the Daughters of Charity were known as 'butterfly nuns' or 'flying nuns' among the public.

However, the cornette was so heavy that it often caused injury or accidents, and took so much time to launder that it opposed the values of poverty and simplicity that orders operate by. After Vatican II, the nun's habits were simplified to better suit their purpose.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA The Patroness of Doctors, Wives and Unborn Children Feast Day: April 28

Gianna Beretta Molla became a pediatric physician, a wife, a mother and a saint!

She was born in Magenta near Milano, the tenth of Alberto and Maria Beretta’s 13 children. An active member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and a leader in the Catholic Action movement, Gianna also enjoyed skiing and mountain climbing. She earned degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Pavia, eventually specializing in pediatrics. In 1952, Gianna opened a clinic in the small town of Mesero, where she met engineer Pietro Molla.

Shortly before their 1955 marriage, Gianna wrote to Pietro: "Love is the most beautiful sentiment that the Lord has put into the soul of men and women."

In the next four years the Mollas had three children: Pierluigi, Mariolina, and Laura. Two pregnancies following ended in miscarriage.

Early in her final pregnancy, doctors discovered that Gianna had both a child and a tumor in her uterus. She allowed the surgeons to remove the tumor but not to perform the complete hysterectomy that they recommended, which would have killed the child.

Seven months later in April 1962, Gianna Emanuela Molla was born at the hospital in Monza, but post-operative complications resulted in an infection for her mother. The following week Gianna Molla died at home, and was buried in the cemetery of Mesero.

Gianna Emanuela went on to become a physician herself. Gianna Beretta Molla was beatified in 1994 and canonized 10 years later.

SAINT OF THE DAY (January 4)

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was the foundress and first superior of the Sisters of Charity in the United States. 

She was born to Episcopalian parents into New York City high society on 28 August 1774.

Her father, Dr. Richard Bayley, was the first professor of anatomy at Columbia College and praised for his work as the health officer of the Port of New York. 

Her mother, Catherine Charlton, daughter of an Anglican minister of Staten Island, New York, died when Elizabeth was three years old, leaving her and two other young daughters.

Elizabeth was married on 25 January 1794 in St. Paul's Episcopalian Church to William Magee Seton. 

When his father died, they took over custody of William's seven half brothers and sisters, as well as the family's importing business.

William fell into financial troubles. He later died of tuberculosis in December 1803 in Pisa, Italy, while attempting to get help from his business friends.

After getting to know the Catholic Church in Italy, Elizabeth fasted and prayed for light.

Finally, on Ash Wednesday, 14 March 1805, she was received into the Church.

Her conversion unleashed a storm among her Protestant relatives and friends, and made her financial strains even greater. 

In January 1806, Cecilia Seton, Elizabeth's young sister-in-law, became very ill and begged to see the ostracized convert and told her of her desire to become a Catholic.

When Cecilia's decision was known, threats were made to have Mrs. Seton expelled from the state by the Legislature. 

On her recovery, Cecilia fled to Elizabeth for refuge and was received into the Church.

Elizabeth moved to Baltimore in 1808, and with the help of a Catholic convert, a farm was purchased two miles from Mt. St. Mary's College.

Mrs. Seton took vows privately before Archbishop Carroll and her daughter Anna.

In 1810, Bishop Flaget was commissioned to obtain in France the rules of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.

The rule, with some modifications, was approved by Archbishop Carroll in January 1812 and adopted. 

Mrs. Seton was elected superior against her will and despite the fact that she also had to care of her children. 

Many joined the community, including Mother Seton's daughter, Anna, who died during her novitiate (12 March 1812) but had been permitted to pronounce her vows on her deathbed.

Mother Seton and eighteen sisters made their vows on 19 July 1813.

The third time she was elected superior in 1819, she protested that it was the "election of the dead," but she lived for two years more, finally succuming to a pulmonary infection. 

She died on 4 January 1821 in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

In 1880, Cardinal Gibbons (then Archbishop) urged the steps be taken toward her canonization.

She was beatified by Pope John XXIII on 17 March 1963. She was canonized by Pope Paul VI on 14 September 1975.

"Court Severe to Hold-Up Men," Montreal Star. August 20, 1943. Page 3. ---- Pair, Both 18, Receive 3-Year, 4-Year Terms ---- Judge J. A. Cloutier is determined to give the fullest co-operation to the police to prevent a repetition of the recent series of hold-ups in Montreal.

He gave this warning today as he sentenced James Stoneman, 18, to three years and Peter Stazuk, 18, to two concurrent four-year terms in St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.

The two had pleaded guilty to holding up the Royal Bank of Canada branch at 6155 Monkland avenue and stealing $3,952 Stazuk also pleading guilty to stealing $295 in a hold-un of the Banque Canadienne Nationale branch at 6761 Monk boulevard.

"This epidemic of hold-ups must stop," Judge Cloutier stated, "and one of the means at my disposal is to be severe. I hope that these sentences will serve as lesson to other young men who prefer to earn their living by stealing money instead of finding jobs. Further more, employes of banks and offices where these robberies are being staged protect the interests of their employers at the risk of their lives."

#YSEALIAFP Highlight: Zai Sam, Myanmar

“Hi, young leaders! I am Zai Sam from Myanmar, a Spring 2022 YSEALI Academic Fellow on Civic Engagement at Arizona State University. I just completed my fellowship from February to March this year. Due to the pandemic, our cohort had to adjourn for almost a year. Thankfully the respective YSEALI Academic Fellows program coordinator arranged the five-week-long virtual sessions to connect and learn with other fellows before our experiential visit.

Among three #YSEALIAFP themes, I selected Civic Engagement to strengthen my public engagement and problem-solving skills and also to explore diverse cultures. The biggest takeaways from the program was learning about how to tackle day-to-day gender-based violence scenarios, domestic violence cases, problems with young aged drug users, displacement and human rights. As anticipated, I got to visit significant institutions, namely the Inter-Tribal Council and the Arizona State Capitol. I volunteered at the Society of St. Vincent De Paul and met with well-known people in the government and educational sectors and others.

Getting knowledge, hearing people’s experiences and hearing ‘never give up on your dreams.’ This was the driving force that kept motivating me to keep making positive impacts in my community regardless of my education, career, gender, and social and environmental barriers.

Even before departing to the U.S., the YSEALI Team offered me a grant to address pressing issues relating to youths. YSEALI Academic Fellows was not just solely focused on fostering skills but truly encouraged and built me to be a better version of myself after the program.

Finally, dear future leaders, challenge yourself to grasp this massive opportunity if you are between 18 and 25 years old.

Thank you so much to the #YSEALIAFP Civic Engagement coordinators, professors and students’ ambassadors from Arizona State University.”
