The Mount Exhibits Nuns' Unsung History

2011-06-23
  Mount St. Mary's College will present the only Southern California installment of the exhibit 'Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America,' which tells the story of innovative religious women who played an important but unsung role in shaping the nation's social and cultural landscape. The sisters' quiet courage during many dramatic moments in U.S. history, including the Civil War, the Gold Rush, the San Francisco earthquake, the influenza epidemic, the Civil Rights movement and Hurricane Katrina, is revealed.   Sister Karen Kennelly, CSJ, who served as the 10th president of the Mount from 1989 to 2000, also worked on the exhibit. As one who has extensively researched the U.S. sisters' history, she is proud of several artifacts the exhibit discovered, including a letter from President Thomas Jefferson. The presidential correspondence with the Ursuline Sisters in New Orleans 'is the earliest presidential interpretation of the guarantee of religious freedom protected by our country's founding documents,' Kennelly says.   'As a Catholic College founded by women religious 86 years ago, and serving primarily women, we are the beneficiaries of the vision of one of those brave and wise groups of women,' Doud says. 'Mount St. Mary's made education accessible to women when few earned college degrees and has continued its mission of opportunity for many traditionally underrepresented students in higher education.

Believe it or not, I was about to open a thread like this. And here is the worst part, my AP has been approved 10 days ago, and so far neither the online status changed to approved nor i have received the approval copy. 2 ways I found out my AP was approved was through my local congressman and I took an infopass appointment. In the info pass appointment when I asked what is causing the delay in sending an approved AP, the officer says, if you did not get the approval notice in 45 days, call us back. This after waiting for more than 90days from the date of application. So, its not there until you have it in hand. Merely getting an approval these days is not enough, since they take anywhere upto 45 days to send the approval to you. First I want to congratulate all you guys for the success of the rally.I have recently joined this group and contributed $100 towards the rally.Now on wards i want to be active member of this group.I live in Sunnyvale,CA.I will give my best for this cause.I want to be part of California chapter activities.As i said i'm a new member i'm not aware of all the activities involved in chapter.If any one can message me their contact no.i will call you guys and discuss future course of action. People keep throwing around the phrase "Administrative solution". In this country, just about everything is codified by law. Some things, like the EAD duration, can be tackled Administratively. However, USCIS isn't going to give up a cash cow, viz. the fees from yearly EAD renewals, easily. It is a lot easier to have Congress mandate three year EAD extensions than to convince USCIS to do it. I guess the argument that BKarnik is trying to make is that USCIS should be administratively mandated to give Employment Authorizations to people with approved immigrant petitions. However, in the last few months, I have been looking at INA on a regular basis. Most immigration practices are codified in INA, and I would be really hesitant to even ask for an administrative fiat to this effect. Remember, an anti-immigrationist can equally easily have it removed. When Congress passes something, however, it has the force of law. My point is, firstly this is a far way from fruition, and even if it happens there will be a queue of gov't bureaucrats lining up and licking their chops to meddle with it. Furthermore the leftist parties there will ensure that every socialist policy in the books will be applied to your so called retirement funds.
