Death
of Mitred Msgr. Stephen Chomko
On Tuesday, November 4, 2008, Rt.
Rev. Mitred Msgr. Stephen Chomko
fell asleep in the Lord, GOD GRANT HIM ETERNAL REST!
Monsignor was born January 6, 1922
in Scranton, PA
and was ordained to the priesthood July 12, 1946 in Philadelphia, PA
by Bishop Constantine Bohachevsky. For many years, prior to his resignation and
move to PA in 1996, Monsignor served as Pastor in: Michigan,
Syracuse, New Haven,
Rochester, Elmira
Heights, Auburn,
Boston and finally Hartford,
as Dean of the Boston
and then of the Hartford Protopesbytery, and as the
Eparchial Econome.
From ‘84 to ‘86 Msgr. Chomko also served as
President of the Providence Association.
While in Rochester, Msgr. Chomko
built St. Josaphat School as well as the Rectory and
Convent.
Renewal
and Redemption
In 1995, many people believed that America’s
oldest civil rights group was near-bankrupt and mismanaged beyond repair.
But the NAACP (National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People) wasn’t washed up. It just needed the strong and determined leadership
of someone like humanrights giants Thurgood Marshall or Roy Wilkins.
That leader turned out to be
five-term Congressman Kweisi Mfume
who left his Maryland legislative seat for the
NAACP
hot seat.
Mfume remembered that “when I was a child, the
NAACP was dominant in our community. My
mother would pass out literature for them.”
Under Mfume’s leadership, the organization’s
debt has been erased. He also “wants to
create a sense of activism again...Its efforts were never designed to help just
blacks; it was designed to make America
better.”
Every citizen can make his or her
country better. It takes hard work and
determination. Worthwhile things always
do.
There was a disciple...devoted to
good works. (Acts 9:36)
Creator, get us past our biases and
prejudices.
Local
Heroines
Gayle Nikolaisen
and her three colleagues at Station 10 in Tacoma,
Washington, are
an all female firefighting crew.
The women consider themselves like
any other crew, says Nikolaisen. “We’re strong, and smart, and we worked way
too hard to get here.” Tacoma Fire
Department Chief Ellen Lewis was the city’s first woman firefighter in
1981. Today, 36 of the city’s 402
fulltime firefighters are women.
Nevertheless, Karen Leming says, “Because we’re
women, we have to prove we can do this...We’re a real team. We trust each other.”
The women have the respect of their
male peers. 12-year-veteran Paul Sowers
says, “There are plenty of calls when a woman can soothe the victim in a way I
never could. They just have a way about
them.”
Women and men aren’t inferior or
superior to each other; they simply bring different qualities to the job. Let us be thankful we can contribute our
unique selves to whatever task is at hand.
God created humankind in His image...male and female He created them.
(Genesis 1:27) We celebrate who
and what we are, Creator of all.
