Class Schedule Template
Scheduling employees does not end with simply assigning the right number of employees on each shift. You must also ensure that these assigned individuals possess the right skills. This is why quality software now includes a tool that mentions the positions departments and special skills. The software must allow you to make changes to the schedule based on the availability of employees. Thanks to the work schedule template you will no longer receive complaints of ineffective schedule setting from your employees or customers. In addition to almost eliminating the chances of absenteeism this software also contributes to improving the efficiency of business operations. If you go out looking for a good shift schedule template for your organization chances are that you will be perplexed. Not because there are few choices but because there are so many of them. The problem with many choices is that a customer ends up getting confused and is likely to make a wrong choice.
Needless to say it can be extremely difficult to manually create a schedule that meets all such requirements. This is exactly why employee scheduling software is gaining worldwide acceptance. With a work schedule template you can easily do the following: Import the details of your employees Enter your specific staffing needs Specify the number of employees required for each shift according to their positions or departments Confirm how many employees are actually at the workplace Verify if the customer to employee ratio is appropriate Ensuring Staff Coverage As you enter the staffing needs and schedule your staff the worksheet of the template will automatically display the total number of employees assigned to each shift. This feature allows you to compare the number of scheduled staff with the number of staff actually required for each shift. Depending on the number displayed by the work schedule template you will be able to determine if you are under-scheduled or over-scheduled.
This is a task that can become frustrating especially if you are well into your project. Problem #3: Try to Make Sense of the Template Then there are a whole lot of other problems that can get you into trouble when trying to make heads or tails of a previous Project file. These can include such things as: Deadlines Resources Task Types Date Constraints etc. A whole slew of MS Project "features" can truly drive you crazy trying to figure out why the schedule doesnt seem right. You can go individually and clean these all up depending on the size of the project file but you have to look for each item first and that will take a lot of work. So What to Do Okay now I am not saying that templates are not worthwhile but you have to be careful about how you use them. A template should be a guide. Look at it as: here are some items that I should consider in my project. A good template covers a full blown project. Your project may be smaller so you dont need all those elements. And there is also a converse. It is a good idea that if you have a project with more complexity or other items than the template shows you should add those to the "template" for future reference.
Important Points to Analyze in a Work Schedule Template: When are most employees present? This will help managers know when to accept more projects. So during slow months when employees are on vacation workload can be controlled. Which shifts suit what skill sets in employees? If some people work better at night they may be encouraged to continue there. Whereas if someone falls ill often because of the physical demands on the body during night shifts it would be better to keep him or her in a day shift. Bad planning is the root cause of goof ups and damages images for enterprises. With the help of employee scheduling software the most valuable resource of the company namely human resources can be optimally utilized. Employee scheduling is a serious responsibility that if done well can boost a companys performance and reputation.

Springfield/Eugene-area Editors (SEE) meets at noon on the second Tuesday of each month at Le Cafe Maison for education, connection, advice, mentoring, and lunch!

We welcome as members all professional editors who can make the trek to Eugene at least occasionally. Our group includes members from Corvallis, Florence, and Yachats as well as Eugene and Springfield.
RSVPs are appreciated, but coming without one is fine, as is coming late or leaving early.

Pamper your pup with our dog subscription boxes! Our curated list of our best monthly dog subscription boxes is a great place to start. Shopping for someone else's fur-baby? Our gift ideas for pet lovers includes natural treats, healthy dog food, toys, collars, and so much more. Plus, many of the dog subscription boxes give back to charities that support shelters and homeless pets! Treating any dob like a best friend doesn't get any more pawsome than with a dog box that gives back!
Are your dogs bored? Are finding it difficult to keep up with all you require to make your dog happier each month? BarkBox comes to your assistance and lifts your pooch out of boredom. With a Barkbox subscription, you give your doggy companion a surprise treats every month. You can expect excitement, happiness, and fulfillment from your pup with new toys, healthy treats, and collections of different grooming products every month.
What comes each month seems to be tied into a holiday or time of year. For example, the BarkBox my dog received last week related to the Chinese New Year and contained treats like "Chompsticks" and a squeaker toy of a stuffed dragon. There are usually at least 2 themed toys, 2 themed smaller packages of treats, and at least 1 generic treat like a chew bone. The treats are marketed as "healthy snacks" like fruit chews and dried salmon. (If you get dried salmon, watch out. It smells! My dog loved it, however.) In addition to treats and toys, dog-related items may be included. We received a small treat jar and a water bottle to use when out walking.
As a direct result of that feedback, BarkBox has implemented a new shipping upgrade program, which gives at-risk customers special incentives to put them back in the green. For every poor rating or dissatisfied review they receive, the BarkBox Happy Team reaches out directly to see how they can improve future deliveries for the customer. "Now it's within our power to do something when customers are dissatisfied, whereas before we were essentially in the dark," Snowden says. "It's another touchpoint with our customers that we didn't have before."

We want to point out the latest business Greenification success story. The Chevrolet Volt is sparking interest even though it's barely entered the American marketplace.
You remember Chevrolet, right? They are one of those American automakers that have been so troubled for years. When Asian carmakers offered better made, smaller, more economically-minded (and greener) cars, they rolled out minivans. When European automakers offered luxury, American automakers gave us SUV''s. And when the recession gave us all headaches, they sent us the bill. We wondered if they would ever recover. They seemed unable to hear the call to Greenify.
But the Volt is evidence that they can. Volt is evidence of what our President said in his 2011 State of the Union speech: We Do Big Things. It's a 16-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery vehicle with a 1.4-liter 16 valve, 4-cylinder, in-line gasoline engine that sips gas from a 9.3 gallon tank. Worried about pick-up? It has front-wheel drive and does a peppy 8.8 second zero-to-60.
And it's putting all that "go" into car shows right now, too. This past weekend's Portland International Auto Show was packed with car and driving enthusiasts, flocking to the electric cars, hybrids and other green vehicles.
One of the most popular booths was the Portland General Electric booth, where customer representatives report a lot of questions about one point: how much will it cost to charge an electric car.
Reports suggest the cost will be about $1.50 per charge. That charge on a Volt will get you 40 miles, added miles at about half the cost of a gallon of gas.
Also intriguing? This isn't a car for nerds. And instead of being a drain on the company, it may revive Chevrolet's brand all over the world. Wall Street Journal reviewer Dan Neil had this to say:
"A bunch of Midwestern engineers in bad haircuts and cheap wristwatches just out-engineered every other car company on the planet."
Those are karate chop words for some other car makers.
Unfortunately, there are only about 4 car dealerships offering the car currently. Just getting on a wait list may take awhile. But what a turn-around this was for Chevrolet and American business in general. It proved that it can be done and this is a great success story for pursuit of the Green Dream.

For instance, the brand name of the car will have an enormous bearing on the price. A reliable older family vehicle will have a less expensive premium when compared to a flashy performance car."

"I believe that avoiding packaged foods is a first step to help lose weight. They might taste great, but highly processed foods have very little vitamins and minerals, making you eat more just to have enough strength to get over the day. In case you are constantly ingesting these foods, transitioning to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will let you have more strength while consuming less. Interesting blog post."

The quality of production in movies seriously declined the closer Hollywood got to the 70's. If That Touch of Mink never quite attains the giddy heights of some of Day's other romantic comedies of the late fifties and early sixties, it's still an often hugely winning affair no pun intended, considering Shayne's proposition which sets the main plot in motion , with some nicely arch supporting performances from the likes of perennial second lead Gig Young and Thelma Ritter wannabe Audrey Meadows. He wasn't by any means lousy when directing comedy, but his talents were wasted with the silly fluff pieces. Grant slowly uses his considerable economic muscles to get Day to agree to a trip to the Caribbean, but he finds having her there is not the same thing as getting to know her physically there. The adroit Stanley Shapiro has written a lively, lilting script that has as much glittering verbal wit and almost as much comic wit as his Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back.
By this point, Day had developed some familiar comedy traits which had gotten many laughs in her previous films, but were wearing thin with this outing. Two mega stars in their, let's say, mature years, specially Grant, behaving like adolescents it's a bit hard to take. All you need to do is click on the appropriate link, download the free subtitles, and attach them to your video! That Touch of Mink first appeared on the screen back in 1962. See it too for Alan Hewitt, as Young's therapist, who finds that it really pays to have Young as a client because of all the great stock market tips the naive secretary blabs to the Doctor. Once introduced to Philip, however, things change markedly, as it's obvious that Cathy is entranced. It's obviously a bit dated, I doubt there are many young, independant working women that swoon over losing their virginity these days.

Doris Day, That Touch of Mink. Even though Doris is discouraged from tagging along by her roommate, she travels to Bermuda against her own better judgement and upbringing, which triggers a nervous rash. Don't go into it expecting to find something else; allow yourself to accept the basic premise. Even the most serious film viewers cannot deny the smiles that are inevitable when Doris is on the screen. That Touch of Mink is really rather unexpectedly progressive in its dealing with this subject, at least for the relatively chaste time of 1962. Philip has Roger go down to apologize and offer to pay for any damages. That's why, I presume, this is a favorite comedy of the Coen brothers.
Roger is a walking thesaurus of various Freudian issues, and he also drinks heavily, something he blames on his analyst. That's a twenty year difference between the two, for those who aren't especially good at math. The reason Doris and Cary are in the dugout is that they are attending a Yankee Game Cary has some stock in the Yankees - this film was in the period before George Steinbrenner took control of the baseball team. Cathy Timberlake Doris Day , a working girl not that kind, of course—Day is once again here the Perpetual Virgin , is standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross when Shayne's passing limousine drives through a mud puddle and covers her in dirty detritus. He at first just wants to repair the damage but he slowly falls for her. Doris Day gets drunk in That Touch of Mink. The film's story evolves when two lives are randomly thrown together - that of a hard-working waitress and a rich bachelor playboy.
This film was a hit because every picture in which Doris Day appeared during this period was a guaranteed goldmine. There's one problem, he's not interested in marriage while Cathy has never thought of anything else. Finally, the late John Fiedler has a good moment as a newlywed husband who concludes that a man's best friend is his mother. I did make it through, but it was annoying and for the most part unfunny. Tersedia berbagai film top imdb dan film paling booming di dunia. The baseball trivia connection is also a reason though a minor one to watch the film at least once. He finally agrees to marry her to save her honour, only to develop a nervous rash of his own.
That Touch of Mink 1962 Subtitles Cathy Timberlake is an old fashioned country girl who meets the man of her dreams, Philip Shayne, after his Rolls Royce splashes her with mud on her way to a job interview. An easy to take Day sex romp, I recommend it for the amusement it generates. It's still very sweet and it would make a good date movie. Okay so that's basically the movie. Doris Day is paired with the debonair Cary Grant in this movie, and their differences are only magnified by the film.
Even the most serious film viewers cannot deny the smiles that are inevitable when Doris is on the screen. I would not place 'Touch Of Mink' with the likes of Tarkovsky's films, but I will say that it is a beautifully-filmed fantasy that is really titillatingly funny in a genuinely charming way. I think it's important to have a second look at many of Doris Day's films in the lights of the 21st century. Audrey Meadows reminded me of Eve Arden and delivered her lines with sharp sarcasm. They date and Cathy expects that Philip proposes to marry her, but he does not have this intention. The script kept emphasizing the fact that Day was afraid of sex, even to the point of breaking out in hives at one point. Cary even got involved in helping to choose the kind of mink that I was to wear in the film.
Their relationship cannot be consummated, so she tries liquor instead and even tries to make Grant jealous by seeking another partner. There are also some classic moments: The hand emerging from the 'atuomatic' restaurant where Doris and Audrey work to smack the face of a particularly offending male patron those where the days when a woman could smack a man in a film and get great laughs. Cathy gets an earful from the always opinionated Connie, while Philip has much the same happen with Roger. Dialogue is mostly very clearly presented I had a few transitory moments where Audrey Meadows wasn't quite as loud as the rest of the film, but that could simply because she kind of yells throughout most of it. The film's story evolves when two lives are randomly thrown together - that of a hard-working waitress and a rich bachelor playboy.

Publication Overview
This report provides 224 statistical tables and 10 charts for the mobile voice and data communications activities up to 2010 for the major 38 African countries. Full details are given elsewhere in the annual reports listed at the end of the Table of Contents section.
Researcher: Peter Lange
Current publication date:- April 2011 (9th Edition)
Next publication date – April 2012
Mobile phones represent more than 90% of all telephone lines in Africa. Market penetration passed the 50% mark in 2010, with subscriber growth slowing to around 15% p.a. However, several individual markets are still growing at 50% p.a. or more and others stand at only single-digit penetration rates. The continent's most advanced markets have passed the 100% penetration mark.
The introduction of prepaid services and a steady decline in tariffs has meant that more than half of Africa's close to one billion people can now afford a mobile phone. However, as lower income groups are being targeted, the declining Average Revenue per User (ARPU) is putting pressure on the network operators' profit margins. Price wars have broken out in some markets where a large number of operators have been licensed. Despite this, international investors are still very keen to enter the market through new mobile licences or shares in existing mobile operations in Africa.
Mobile data and broadband technologies are increasingly being used as a substitute for poor or non-existent fixed-line infrastructure in Africa. In vast parts of the continent, the mobile network operators are the only providers of any kind of telecommunication service apart from satellite services. As subscriber growth peaks, many of them have established themselves as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and are playing an increasing role in the broadband sector, competing directly with fixed broadband services such as DSL – a welcome new revenue stream in an environment of shrinking ARPU in the voice market.

The post We are honored to celebrate our refugee neighbors appeared first on Catholic Anchor.]]>
Can you imagine starting from scratch and starting over again with your savings, your home, your job, your life? When our clients move to Anchorage as refugees from locations around the world, they are in that situation — beginning from scratch. There are now more refugees in the world who have been separated from their country of birth than ever before. I am reminded of the words from Scripture, "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 19:33-34)
Our refugee clients are the "stranger," and we at Catholic Social Services are honored to welcome them as neighbors and friends, to know them, and to hear their stories and experiences that inform and richen our lives.
The work of our Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services (RAIS) program involves many facets. It begins with a welcome and initial resettlement into housing and then offers supports around living in this country and this place. Their community is our community — Anchorage — and we would like to invite you to join us in celebration this summer.
Please come celebrate World Refugee Day on June 21, at 4:30 p.m., at the Grow North Farm (3543 Mountain View Drive, Anchorage). This celebrations pays tribute to refugees in our community and around the world who have worked to reestablish themselves in a new home and have brought their strengths and experiences to a new place — making their new home better and stronger. It is a celebration of diversity in Mountain View, the most diverse census tract in the U.S., and it is a celebration of the common bond we all share. We hope you can join us.
Thinking about celebrating our refugee clients makes me recall a group of people I recently met. In March, an Academy Award-winning documentary film crew visited our RAIS program. They came to film a story that will be featured in a movie that focuses on kindness. The crew shared with me their premise, that there were so many examples of pure kindness around them, but mostly what we hear about is cruelty and negativity. I, too, feel bombarded with meanness sometimes, but my kids and my job remind me of joy and kindness every day.
Soon our conversation turned towards the stories in their film about our refugees and how many acts of pure love we saw and heard about. We discussed the many people in Anchorage who reach out to our clients to offer kindness and help with words, rides, time and food. We spoke of our RAIS staff who live out our mission by acts of kindness with every client, and we spoke of our refugee clients and their incredible stories. It brought tears to my eyes. We hope that by the end of the year the film will be complete, and we will invite you to view it with us at CSS.
Until the official viewing of the film, I hope you can find an example of kindness in your day today, and I hope you can share it with someone else. Our community is stronger and kinder for each of us, and for refugees from all over the world, who radiate strength and kindness for us all.

The post Pray for revival from the 'decay within the church' appeared first on Catholic Anchor.]]>
I have spent the last months at prayer in my small Talkeetna hermitage. I have prayed for a renewal in my priesthood and for a deepening celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
This might seem strange as I am celebrating 40 years a priest. You would think I had it down by now. Nope. But I do realize that all great revivals in the church have had two aspects — renewal in the Eucharist and renewal in the priesthood. Benedict XVI wrote, "Every great reform has in some way been linked to the rediscovery of belief in the Lord's eucharistic presence among his people."
Similarly, Saint John Paul II proclaimed, "In a very real way, the renewal of the church is linked to the renewal of the priesthood." As he puts clearly, "There is no priesthood without the Eucharist and no Eucharist without the priesthood." So when I speak of renewal in the church, and dire need for revival, I must look in the mirror every morning and say, "What about you?"
I know what I will do for my next 40 years of priesthood (I plan to be around awhile). I will pray for a revival of the Bride of Christ, the church.
Revival is often sought when the church is persecuted from without or decaying within. Today we have both. First, we Christians are under attack everywhere. Recently there was the horrendous loss of life in Sri Lanka where more than 300 innocent Christian men, women and children were murdered while celebrating their faith at Easter. As reported in Open Doors USA, "Christians remain one of the most persecuted religious groups in the world. While Christian persecution takes many forms, it is defined as any hostility experienced as a result of identification with Christ. Christian torture remains an issue for believers throughout the world including the risk of imprisonment, loss of home and assets, physical torture, beheadings, rape and even death as a result of their faith. Trends show that countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East are intensifying persecution against Christians, and perhaps the most vulnerable are Christian women…"
According to Open Doors, every month 345 Christians are killed for faith-related reasons, 105 churches and Christian buildings are burned or attacked and 219 Christians are detained without trial, arrested, sentenced and imprisoned.
Yes, we need to beg for revival.
Secondly, however, we need to pray for revival from the obvious decay within the church. The evil of abusive priests where we see lives shattered and broken by rotten shepherds has led to a faith crisis for many. The lack of shepherding and the loss of trust in the hierarchy in our time is revealed in the angst and the anger found in the church today. For every person who comes into the church, six leave through the backdoor — many are young people. Decay and crisis is tearing the church apart.
Matthew Walsh, a Catholic blogger and speaker, in a talk at Steubenville Franciscan University, said Satan has an attack plan to destroy the church. First is the "front on attack" — just kill Christians. This does not always work because as Tertillium said during third century persecutions, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." The church actually can thrive under persecution. These martyrs are willing to give up everything for Christ. How many of us are willing to give up anything? Let alone everything.
Walsh says, "This martyrdom is not Satan's strategy for us in the West." There is a plan B from Satan for us. He just lets us destroy ourselves. We bend our knees to the forces of evil and without ever firing a shot. We are lulled to sleep with all pleasures known to man. We are made fat and lazy. Kill us? Why would anyone do that? We are not even worthy of persecution. We are no threat to Satan. He laughs at us.
Christians in Syria are the real threat — not the lazy, soft Catholics in this country. Just let the luck warm Catholic turn on the TV or the internet and float to oblivion as he conforms to the culture — a culture where babies are killed by the millions, marriages fall apart, and children are emotionally and spiritually abandoned in broken homes. Their innocence is attacked and their purity destroyed by pornography. We are drowning in sin in this country.
When we come to church we are desperate for direction, correction or something. Instead, we are given cultural affirmation and told, "All is fine." No, it is not. We all need to pray and beg for revival — laity, priests and bishops must be on our knees.
Benedict XVI spoke several times about the "silent apostasy" of some Catholic priests and laity. For Benedict, laypeople and priests don't need to publicly renounce their Catholic faith to be apostates. They simply need to be silent when their baptism demands that they speak out — to be cowards when Jesus asks them to take courage.
Saint Augustine said, "God made us to make the times, not the times to make us. And unless we make the times better with the light of Jesus Christ, then the times will make us worse with their darkness."
Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput, in an address on reforming the church said, "The great Catholic reformers in history had three essential qualities: personal humility, a passion for purifying the church, starting with themselves, and a fidelity to her teaching, all motivated by unselfish, self-sacrificing love."
Saint Peter challenges us: "For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us…therefore let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator." Each of us must look in the mirror. My friends in Christ, the time for prayer and revival is now.

Catholics in the Mat-Su Valley are invited to the third annual outdoor Summer Solstice Mass at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Wasilla to pray for their departed loved ones on the longest day of the year.
Father Joseph McGilloway, pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Wasilla, will offer the June 21 Mass both as a moment of prayer for the departed and to invite the living to bury their dead in a sacred space, set aside by the church.
Overlooking Knik bluff just outside of Wasilla, the faithful will gather for the liturgy.
The gathering will include the blessing of each grave, and include time for the faithful to visit with family members and share stories about the lives of their departed loved ones.
Father McGilloway said he was inspired to initiate the annual Summer Solstice Mass after noticing how few Catholic burials he was asked to perform for local parishioners.
"I realized I was celebrating a lot of requiem Masses but very few burials," he said. "Our Catholic tradition reminds us of the dignity of the human body, even after death. We should ensure the remains of our loved ones rest in a dignified place and on blessed ground that they may be at peace in the Lord."
The Summer Solstice Mass is a way to recall "Christ's promise of eternal life," he said.
"It also allows us to pray in a more significant way than we can on the Feast of All Souls in November snows," he said.
Sacred Heart Cemetery is an archdiocesan cemetery, open to all Catholics in the archdiocese. There are 144 people buried there, according the Cemetery Director Dan Belanger. Another 107 plots are reserved, but many more plots are available.
The cemetery first opened in 1999, and there are still 60 acres that need to be developed.
"We need donations to make this happen," Belanger said. "Always seeking volunteers for assistance."

It's the first hot day of summer.
The Midwest has had a cool and rainy spring. Light breezes blow through open nighttime windows, and the refrains of birds wake me in the morning. I love spring.
But as my farmer brother reminds me, the corn needs heat to grow, along with good old sweat-inducing Nebraska humidity. So here we go, unto a new season: knee high by the Fourth of July.
I spend my morning at a friend's house. She is nearly nine months pregnant. Her husband's taking a new job in another state, and the house is going on the market. She's journeying to Chicago this weekend for the college graduation of her oldest child. On scales that measure stress-inducing events she would score very highly. But she is remarkably calm.
I'm part of a faith-sharing group that meets in her home. Often, there are only three of us and it's relaxing and open. It's a gift to have such friends and I try to dwell on my good fortune and not my sorrow that she's leaving.
My duty this morning is to clean window blinds with soap and water in anticipation of the house listing. My friend follows up with wood polish for the woodwork. Her house has the charming hallmarks of an early 20th century home. There's a big front porch for those hot nights before air conditioning, when neighbors sat outside and visited. Our group has gathered there in the early evening more than once.
An old garage sits off the alley. The realtor asked how to open it, and my friend replied that you use a key and then lift the door.
What? The realtor was confused. You'll have to write those directions out for people who come by, she said. We laughed about how in this day of complex technology, a 1920 garage door that needs to be lifted after inserting a key needs step-by-step instructions.
Her home is in a desirable old Omaha neighborhood. Yet it sits directly across the alley from a large, well-kept cemetery. I wonder how that affects marketability. When I first visited her home, I didn't know if the cemetery was calming or eerie. Over the years, I've come down solidly on the peaceful aspect of life by a cemetery. The resting place of a whole group of Midwestern Jesuits lies just a few hundred yards from the alley.
Soon you forget a cemetery is there, but you appreciate the quiet. Like death itself, the graveyard seems a natural adjunct to life.
Sitting in her backyard on a summer evening, or on that big porch in the fall, the cemetery seemed the perfect complement to faith sharing.
In our modern culture, we tend to deny death. My mom wanted to have the wake for my dad in our home, in the old- fashioned Irish way, but discovered it would be way too complicated. Mortuaries take care of all that physical stuff, and try to present us to the viewing public made up like Hollywood stars.
But as the seasons change again, and as the years fly by, the reality of death seems like an important thing to remember. A friend moving away reminds me of the temporary nature of life itself, its tenuousness. The cemetery stands as silent witness to the preciousness of our days.
We are Resurrection people. We proclaim the resurrection of the body. For that reason, we should find the quiet wait of a well-kept cemetery a comforting thing, like a promise from One we trust completely.

The post Pope names Juneau bishop as temporary administrator of the Anchorage Archdiocese appeared first on Catholic Anchor.]]>
Pope Francis named Juneau Bishop Andrew Bellisario as the temporary leader of the Anchorage Archdiocese until a new archbishop can be named to replace Archbishop Paul Etienne.
Archbishop Etienne was transferred from Anchorage to Seattle on June 7 as the coadjutor archbishop where he will eventually succeed Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain.
Bishop Bellisario will serve as the apostolic administrator of the Anchorage Archdiocese meaning he will carry out daily oversight of the archdiocese.
Bishop Bellisario is a member of the Congregation of the Mission (commonly known as the Vincentians) founded by Saint Vincent de Paul in 1625.
Born in Alhambra, Calif., near Los Angeles, Bishop Bellisario entered the congregation in 1975 and was ordained a priest on June 16, 1984. He has ministered as a parish priest in numerous parishes across California and served as dean of students at St. Vincent's Minor Seminary at Montebello. He also served as director of the De Paul Evangelization Center at Montebello and as superior of the De Paul Center Residence there.
He was provincial superior of the Vincentians Province of the West from 2002 to 2010 and director of the Daughters of Charity at Los Altos from 2003 to 2015. He later served as the Superior of the international group of Vincentians in Anchorage to serve Latino Catholics in Alaska. From May of 2016 until October of 2017 he was pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Co-Cathedral in Anchorage.
In 2017 Pope Francis appointed him to shepherd the Juneau Diocese. Archbishop Etienne ordained him as the bishop of Juneau on Oct. 10, 2017.
At the time, Archbishop Etienne called him a "wonderful priest and a great administrator."
"Mostly, he is warm-hearted, and with his Vincentian missionary spirit, will be a fine new Bishop for Juneau," he wrote in a blog post.
On the morning Bishop Bellisario took over temporary leadership of the Anchorage Archdiocese, Archbishop Etienne sent a letter informing local priests that Bishop Bellisario was now the apostolic administrator.
"Please be assured of my prayerful best wishes for each of you, Bishop Bellisario, and all the good people of the Archdiocese of Anchorage," Archbishop Etienne wrote on June 7.
Archbishop Etienne served as archbishop of Anchorage from November 2016 until June 7 of this year when he was officially transferred to the Seattle Archdiocese as the coadjutor archbishop.
As coadjutor, Archbishop Etienne will assist Archbishop Peter Sartain, 67, for several months until he succeeds him upon his retirement.
Archbishop Sartain, who has suffered from severe spinal pain since 2012, requested that Pope Francis send him a coadjutor to eventually take his place upon his expected early retirement, likely within the next year.
Archbishop Etienne was welcomed into the Seattle Archdiocese during a rite of reception on June 7 at St. James Cathedral in Seattle.

Eagle Eye Ministries, an outreach to young adult Catholics, founded by the Community of St. John, will conduct an Alaskan Summer Institute from July 11-21, beginning with a four-day hike along the famed Crow Pass Trail. The anticipated 20 participants, who range in age from 20 to 35, will spend the remainder of the Institute at Holy Family Retreat Center, taking classes in theology and philosophy, celebrating Mass, in prayer and adoration, and much more. The schedule and rhythm of these days follow those of the St. John Community.
The ministry, founded in 2003, states on its website that it "endeavors to form, unite and inspire young Catholics for the new evangelization by deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, study, culture and community." The Alaska experience is one of several it offers throughout the year to both teens and young adults. The theme chosen for this year is "All in a Day's Work: Seeing Work From God's Perspective."
Michael Larson, one of two ministry volunteers who will join with a priest and brother from the Community of St. John on this summer adventure, said Eagle Eye Ministries, "brings young adults closer to Christ in seeking in nature a path to define Christ."
Ilona Matulaitis, who has been working with Larson on this year's Alaskan offering, said the wilderness setting is key to creating a sense of community among participants.
Larson and Matulaitis, having participated in several past institutes, are leading this year's event for the first time. They are filling the hiking boots (so to speak) of David and Rachel Andrews, a local couple who are expecting their second child.
Matulaitis said she and Larson are following the successful format of the past and are grateful to have the Andrews as a resource. While the two focus more on the details of the actual hikes, the pastoral team develops the presentations on theology and philosophy that will make up the second half of the Institute.
Their past experiences with Eagle Eye have had a profound impact on the new leaders. Larson said that he didn't think he would be a practicing Catholic without it. His conversion to the Catholic faith was a result of his participation in a Summer Institute in Alaska in 2015. The next logical step of that spiritual renewal was a desire to help facilitate it for others, he said.
For Matulaitis, Eagle Eye was the result of her search after college for a young adult community for "people searching to go deeper," she said. Her 2017 adventure kindled a desire to learn more about Catholic philosophy and theology.
Eagle Eye often leaves a significant mark on its participants, Matulaitis observed.
"People leave with more clarity about their next steps, as to where God is guiding them," she said.
Community-building efforts result in new friendships, some of which have been sustained over several years and many miles, Larson added. Some Eagle Eye outings have even resulted in religious vocations, as well as marriages.
For those considering Eagle Eye, Larson pointed out that most participants are likely to be from the Lower 48, though Alaskans are encouraged and welcomed to join. Prior wilderness experience is not necessary, though the ability to carry a 40-pound pack while walking on uneven terrain is required. Larson noted there have been participants who have never camped outdoors prior to Eagle Eye.
The adventure begins with an introduction to Catholic theology and spirituality, followed by a day hike to Flattop. The group will then traverse the Crow Pass Trail — part of the historic Iditarod trail — a 24-mile excursion, over four days. Returning to Anchorage, attendees will stay at Holy Spirit Retreat House, where they will have opportunities to deepen their spiritual practices, continue to grow as a community and learn more about their faith.
In addition to Eagle Eye, Brother John, of the Community of St. John, will give a one-hour public talk at St. Patrick Church in Anchorage, following the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Wednesday, July 10. His presentation will expand on the theme chosen by Eagle Eye Ministries for this year's many activities. The lecture is free and open to all.

The post Safe environment steps for the future of the local & universal church appeared first on Catholic Anchor.]]>
How do you define church? When I asked this to a group of RCIA candidates entering the church, their responses varied. Some described church as the building, the teachings, the Vatican or the people. Others said the church was its history or the saints. In times of transition and crisis, I often think of the church in terms of those who have come before. I look at how many responded to and/or challenged the church in times of struggle and division and how those responses impacted the church of today. The effective responses kept our eyes on the message of the Gospel and the love of Christ.
In the Anchorage Archdiocese, our local church is in a time of leadership transition. As challenging as it is to have to say goodbye to Archbishop Paul Etienne, this is part of life in the church, and also a common experience for Alaskans. As a 30-plus-year resident, I have welcomed many wonderful people to Alaska and have said thank you and farewell to many others. Regardless, all have left an impression on me, as Archbishop Etienne has clearly left an impression on our local church.
The ministry of Safe Environment is fortunate to have been under the direction of Archbishop Etienne. The Independent File Review Commission continues with its work to review all clergy and religious personnel and safe environment files. They will also continue with their report and recommendations on how the archdiocese can be more fully transparent, accountable and responsible in its commitment to ensuring an environment that rejects abuse, misconduct and abuse of power. Archbishop Etienne's decree establishing this commission has kept the archdiocese moving in a forward direction, and it calls for our next leader to follow through with the support of the Archdiocesan Lay Review Board.
As we continue addressing the sexual abuse crisis, I also look to the inspirational discussions with those who feel called to become members of the Catholic Church. The appeal of a worldwide Roman Catholic Church, unified under the pope, is often shared by those interested in joining the church. The richness of a worldwide church is a sacred image of Jesus Christ as the savior of all people. Remembering our universality especially when teachings, messages and norms are developed for the worldwide church is important to our identity.
It is challenging, however, to create standard procedures for all to follow even within a local church, let alone all dioceses across the globe. There has been pain, anger and disillusionment in discovering that the church could be a place where our most vulnerable have been abused, and where some leaders have ignored this abuse of power for years. That is so contrary to our most basic beliefs. But Pope Francis, on May 9, presented new universal norms to address the abuse of power and the abuse of our most vulnerable by priests and bishops.
Kurt Martens, a professor of canon law at Catholic University of America School of Canon Law, describes the meaning of these new norms in a recent article in America Magazine titled, "Pope Francis' new sex abuse rules are a revolution for the Catholic Church."
Martens notes that the pope's new document "shows that he is taking the abuse crisis very seriously… The painful, sometimes bitter, experience of the church in the United States and the voices of the faithful worldwide have helped bring about a change in attitude and a change in law. There is no turning back now, and the tone has been set for the future."
He adds that the new norms are a "critical step forward in protecting all victims from the scourge of sexual abuse, not only in the United States but throughout the universal church."
As is necessary, these norms will face debate and critics. But as the church journeys together towards its mission in a changing world, I anticipate that these new norms will be a starting point for our worldwide church to continue to move forward in a positive direction.
As we say farewell to Archbishop Etienne, I am grateful for his leadership and collaborative style, especially in moving the archdiocese towards better ensuring safe environments. May our local church continue to focus on our mission, and to ensure that the dignity of the most vulnerable, their families and the people of God are protected. May we recognize that we are all called to speak out against abuse, harassment and abuse of power. We can do this by contacting the archdiocese victims assistance coordinator at (907) 297-7786 and reporting concerns to local law enforcement. May we also make an effort to become informed of the archdiocesan safe environment policies. Our unified mission begins with each person committing to care for and protect the dignity of all.

Once again, a team of dedicated Catholic college students is heading to Alaska for a summer of spreading the Good News.
"Father Michael Shields ran a missionary team of college kids in the archdiocese last summer," said Ed Burke, a seminarian studying for the priesthood for the Anchorage Archdiocese. "Last year's group did so much good work that we wanted to have something similar."
Matthew Beck, director of youth and young adult ministry for the Anchorage Archdiocese, took the project under his wing, and with the help of Burke, a missionary team of two men and two women was assembled.
Burke is completing a semester in Rome before heading to the Alaska Catholic Youth Conference (ACYC) in June where he will be part of the team.
They'll begin their summer by helping out at ACYC, June 2-7, and will journey down to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Soldotna, spend time on the Kenai Peninsula, work with vacation Bible schools at St. Michael Church in Palmer and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Anchorage, and attend the Young Adult Conference at St. Benedict Church. They may pitch in with some archival work at the archdiocese's Pastoral Center, and basically be open to whatever comes, said Beck.
In addition to Burke, two of the other four spent spring semester studying in Rome.
Mary Carlson, in Rome as a junior at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, said she is part of a group at St. Thomas called the Catholic Studies Leadership Interns, and that's how she heard about the mission trip.
"When I heard about this opportunity, something within me clicked," Carlson said. "I had promised to give the summer to the Lord and this opportunity couldn't have been more perfect. I reached out to Ed to learn more and signed on for the summer."
Michael Maloney will also be heading north after a semester in Rome. A fellow seminarian with his friend Burke, Maloney is finishing his third year with St. John Vianney College Seminary.
A lifelong Minnesotan, Maloney said, "I've done missionary work before, working with refugees from Burma in the Twin Cities, and also I've gone on a couple mission trips with the seminary."
He's looking forward to spending some time outside during an Alaskan summer, and has even signed up to run in the Mayor's marathon.
Monica Osterbauer is a student at the University of Minnesota pursuing a degree in family social science with a minor in child psychology.
"I found out about this opportunity through my friends Michael Maloney and Ed Burke," she said. "My goals for the summer are to grow in openness for opportunities to serve. I enjoy meeting new people and entering into their lives."
All four young adults are heading north with an openness to do whatever needs to be done to make the summer a success.
"I have no idea what to expect," Osterbauer said, "except for spontaneous activities, service projects, opportunities to pray, new faces, and exploration. I basically love adventuring and seeing new places. Being the oldest of eight children, I love crazy, dysfunctional family life. I think I'll gain a new perspective staying in host homes and I'm looking forward to this."
Burke said he looks forward to working in several parishes and helping with catechesis for youth. He credits ACYC with making an impact on his own life.
"ACYC and the witness of people who live radically for Jesus made a huge impact on my life as a teenager," he said, "It will be a huge blessing to 'pay it forward.'"
Carlson is a biology major with plans to be a physicians' assistant. Along with that course work, however, she's minoring in philosophy and Catholic Studies, and has a personal goal for the summer of getting to know Jesus more.
It was her Catholic studies minor that took her to Rome, where she has lived in community with a group of 30 as she experienced the famous historical sites and churches of the Eternal City.
"I hope to walk away from this summer with a sense of peace that we followed (God's) will and did his work," Carlson said. "I hope that we are able to touch hearts and bring those we encounter closer to Christ. If just one person is brought deeper into relationship with him, than our work will have paid off."
Beck said the missionary trip is financed on a shoestring. The four will have their airplane tickets paid, along with "a very minimal stipend." The team is relying on parishes and friendly Alaskans to provide housing and meals.

The post Alaska summer camp aims to radiate 'beauty of Catholic faith' appeared first on Catholic Anchor.]]>
St. Therese's Camp in Wasilla is gearing up for another summer of canoeing, archery, field games, campfires and camaraderie — all within the context of celebrating a vibrant Catholic faith.
The 57-acre lakeside camp is about to embark on its sixth summer season, serving kids in grades three through 12.
"St. Therese's endeavors to make the week one of positive and encouraging relationships infused with a vibrant, lived-out Catholicism," said Camp Director Rudy Poglitsh. "Great activities, great counselors and friends, plus joyful Catholicism means one great summer!"
The camp first took shape as Camp Challenge under the Church of God in the 1960s. In 2011, Camp Challenge came up for sale and a lay board purchased the property with the goal of starting a Catholic summer camp. Poglitsh and his family arrived in Alaska in 2013 and St. Therese's launched in 2014.
While the camp facility is available to parishes and community organizations throughout the year, its annual summer season is the primary focus.
"We're a vibrantly Catholic camp, and the kids and their parents love that," Poglitsh said. "We also have enormous amounts of wholesome, unselfconscious fun.
Summer counselors are carefully selected from Alaska and across the nation based on their love for God, kids, and the Catholic Church, Poglitsh noted. Each day includes morning prayer, three meals, a snack, and daily Mass. Other activities include gaga ball, swimming, boating, the Blob, archery, arts and crafts, and a rock-climbing wall.
Despite all the fun activities, campers "regularly report that their favorite parts of camp are confession and eucharistic adoration," Poglitsh said.
The participation of priests and religious is a priority, and campers enjoy the presence of a priest at camp throughout each of the five weeklong sessions. Additionally, campers attending in weeks three through six will enjoy the presence of religious sisters. The Nashville Dominicans will take week three. Weeks four and five are covered by two Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist and week six will include two Sisters of the Reparation of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
"At least one of our children has attended both the summer camp and winter retreat every year since 2014," said Cindy Monnin. "The magic of St. Therese's is that it offers authentic community. The counselors and staff are invested in each other and in the kids that attend the camp. The energy that they bring to their work becomes contagious."
"My kids have formed relationships through camp that extend throughout the year," Monnin added.
The combination of faith, friends and lots of fun outdoor activities helps bring "the beauty of Catholic community to the kids in a way that they can relate to," Monnin said. "Nuns in the gaga pit, priests diving off the Blob – who knew loving Christ could be so much fun?"
"Kids and adults can be so self-conscious," Poglitsh observed. "They ask, 'How do I look? Will I look silly? What will people think?' and can be so hesitant to just really cut loose and have fun. Wholesome, unselfconscious fun happens here, and people grin from ear to ear and from head to toe."
For Poglitsh, seeing campers take ownership of their faith is one of the great rewards of his work.
"I know they're still young and will face some serious temptations to leave Christ as they get older, but to see them really pray and get into deep discussions and questions about the faith, and want to grow in their faith, is very impactful to me," he said.
Monnin agreed.
"I also see that their time at St Therese's is giving them the space to build on the formation of their own personal relationship with Jesus, in an environment where there are numerous examples of young people on fire for the Lord," she said. "All that, plus one of the most beautiful sites in Alaska!"
Thanks to numerous generous donors, St. Therese's is closing in on paying off its mortgage, which was 1 million but is now down to less than $100,000.
"Paying off the camp means it is secure for generations of great summers," Poglitsh noted. "It's incredible to see the support."
"It's also an inspiration to do very well with the money," he said, "so that it helps the kids in the best way possible."
Monnin has been impressed with St. Therese's over the years.
"The campers are not just random kiddos showing up for a week of glorified daycare," she said. "They are welcomed into a community of people who truly live the beauty of our Catholic faith and are excited to have the opportunity to share it with others."
