My ancestors were from several locations in historical Poland.  We visited Warsaw, Krakow and our ancestral villages in 2019.  The experience was remarkably moving and the support we found from the local communities made the experience all the richer.  Thank you for continuing to do the important work that you do.

San Rufino's history dates back to the 8th century. It is the main place of worship in Assisi, the city of peace. 

The organ repair US Fund will support the restoration of two organs to enable the Schola Cantorum of the Cathedral to continue performing concerts.

The project involves the restoration and arrangement of the two organs of the Cathedral, in particular the major organ (in the photo). Both organs need to be cleaned and retuned in order to function and to allow the Schola Cantorum of the Cathedral to be able to continue to perform concerts and the young students of the Perugia Music Conservatory to perform. The restorer is Maestro Valentini who also in 1997 took care of fixing the major organ after the earthquake.

The second organ is used for everyday celebrations. It is a smaller organ but damaged by wear and tear. The nuns of our cathedral use it to animate the celebrations.

The cathedral is the place where the Bishop celebrates, so we need to put these organs in order to ensure a good quality of the liturgy. The technical details of the interventions on the two bodies can be found in the attached file.

History of San Rufino, the Cathedral of Assisi:

San Rufino the first Bishop of Assisi, who was martyred by the Romans in 238 AD. It wasn't until the 8th century that his remains were transferred from the original burial place, to the "Parva Basilica"  built over the Roman temple of "Cupra/Mater" (4the century BC).

Two Hundred years later after a dispute between Bishop Ugone and the faithful of Assisi a new church was built over this site. "Magnum Ecclesiam" was then named the Cathedral of the city in 1035.

In the year 1134 the Chapter of the canons of San Rufino, presided over by the Prior Raniero, decided to demolish the Ugonian Basilica and to build a new and more imposing cathedral. A plaque walled up outside the apse recalls that the works for the new church, carried out on a project by the master Giovanni da Gubbio, were started in 1140. Due to much civil discord between the city factions and conflicts with neighboring cities slowed down the progress of the construction site considerably. Finally in 1212 the bones of St. Rufino were moved to the presbytery, while the altar was consecrated in 1228 by Pope Gregory IX and only in 1253 Innocent IV consecrated the entire church.

In 1566 the Canons commissioned the Perugian architect Galeazzo Alessi to take care of the renovation of the interior: the works began on 18 June 1571 and lasted until 1585.

Since then there have been several additions and improvements during the 17th and leading into the 18th centuries. In 1834 the Eucharistic Chapel was adorned in the classical baroque style and in 1841 the "Martinelli" Organ built by Antonio and Francesco Martinelli was added.

A Major element of the Cathedral is the baptismal font. In the font Saint Francis, Saint Clare, Saint Agnes (Clare's Sister), and many of the early followers of Francis were baptized. Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows and The Holy Roman Emperor Fredrick II, were also baptized here.

Javed Ahmed Ghamidi formed Al-Mawrid back in 1983 in Lahore, Pakistan in order to propagate Islam as instituted by prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Mawrid U.S. was established in 2014 in order to expand the reach of Ghamidi’s effort.

Living together in the Story of Jesus:  worshiping, learning, serving, growing

Immanuel is a relatively large, established Lutheran congregation in Valparaiso, Indiana, with a baptized membership of more than 1250.  We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.  Our congregational make-up reflects our community, including a mix of students and young adults, families with children, empty-nesters, and older adults.  We celebrated our 150th anniversary in 2014, and we look forward with hope to the next chapter God has in store for us.  We enjoy being together as brothers and sisters in Christ, and we welcome newcomers as blessings from God.  

Worship is the central activity of our life together.  Our worship style is liturgical, following the church year and using the traditional order, incorporating a wide variety of musical styles to accompany it.  We have a rich tradition of music in worship, which we value highly.  Holy communion is celebrated at all Sunday morning services and most Saturday evening services.  We welcome children in our worship, and we offer childcare for families that need it.

We value learning.  Congregation members participate in Sunday morning education and many small group Bible studies throughout the week. We are deeply committed to our school ministry (preschool and K-8) and its mission to help families form children in Christ who live with God, love to learn, and lead by serving. 

Immanuel serves the larger community in a variety of ways.  Gloria Dei Hispanic Mission provides worshiping, learning, and serving opportunities in Spanish.  A group home for developmentally challenged adults is located on the church property, and we welcome the residents as valued members of the body of Christ.  Immanuel operates a food pantry and a comfort dog ministry, supports ministries for needy men and women in Gary, and (along with other congregations in Valparaiso) provides a men’s homeless shelter.  Teams from Immanuel take short-term mission trips to locations both domestic and abroad.

That's a little bit about us, but we joyfully acknowledge that our story is not first or finally about us.  It's about God with us.  The ongoing story of this church could be told by its name. The word “Immanuel” means “God with us.” We cherish this name because we are a people in need of God’s presence to help us and guide us at all times.  Apart from the presence of God, we would be incapable of living well in the Story of Jesus. On our own, our efforts to follow his command to make disciples of all nations fall short. With Jesus and with his help, however, this work of God endures and grows even among us.

One of the last things Jesus said to his disciples while he was still with them on earth was this: “And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). We find great encouragement in these words of promise, and we have found them to be true over the decades and as we continue to worship, learn, and serve in his name.   The Story of Jesus is playing out today and it includes people like us. It’s a great joy to live in this present age as followers of Jesus. As we follow Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations, we ask him to dwell with us. We pray for his help. We seek his guidance and pursue his will, trusting that he is indeed with us always. He is forever Immanuel. He is forever God. He is forever with us.

Congregation Action Network

Our work is directed against Antisemitism and xenophobia. 

The organization is an NGO and located in the small town of Breisach with now 15.000 inhabitants in the southwest corner of Germany on the border to Alsace/France on the Rhine river. The Swiss border is only 60 km to the south. 

The organization was founded in 1999 with the aims 1. to purchase the former Jewish school building (built before 1690), 2. to renovate it and 3. to use it according to its historical importance. The building is located in the former Jewish lane, in walking distance to the former synagogue and the older of two Jewish cemeteries. Jews had lived in this quarter between 1640 and 1940. 



The mission according to the statutes is to develop new relationships with Holocaust survivors and their descendants and to work together for a full documentation of the histories of about 250 Jews who had lived here before the Nazi persecution began 1933. They had either become refugees or victims of one of the first deportations in October 1940 to Southwest France (Camp de Gurs). Of those deported the majority became in 1942 and after victims of the deportations from France to Auschwitz concentration camp. 



Again and again groups of Holocaust survivors and their descendants returned to what was once their "Heimat" to commemorate the Jewish community which had been destroyed. They became part of a network: the "Overseas members" or "Friends of the Blue House" and could follow the organization making progress in building up a vibrant institution. During each of those group visits to Breisach the program was partially focussing on interaction with young German people (students), most of them have never met a Jewish person.

 

After finishing the renovation of the historical building in 2003 a 15 year period of volunteer work began with lectures, concerts, guided tours and research. From 2017 on the Blue House staff began to professionalize its reach out to young people and improve its pedagogical work using the archival sources for teaching personal stories. This was made possible with the financial support of a Foundation helping to create a part-time  job for a mediator for historical education and cultural transmission. 



Plans developed to create a small museum, to use the garden for the display of another exhibition and to develop an audioguide for touristic purposes: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/geschichte-verein/4869/self-guided-tour-juedisches-leben-in-breisach/



Since 2019 the museum can be visited: "Jewish life in Breisach in 1931" where the everyday life of a Jewish family with two children can be experienced by exploring a small number of objects on display and listening to radioplays (German/English). See: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/rundgang-en/2139/9-dauerausstellung/



An exhibition is permanently installed in the Blue House garden (created by the House of the Wannsee Conference Berlin) dealing with the history of the deportation of the southwestern German Jews to Camp de Gurs in 1940 in the context of the Nazi occupation of France (German/French). Information about the history of the Jews of Breisach (1640-1940) was added and about how the Nazis turned Breisach into a dangerous place for Jews after 1933. A special focus was directed on the role of the Breisach railway bridge, across which seven trains with more than 5600 Jews were deported on October 22, 1940 after having been arrested in their houses, expropriated, taken to a train station and forced into a train directed towards the city of Freiburg and from there to Breisach and across the river Rhine into occupied France. See: https://youtu.be/7grIqgQ2xHs.



A second grant by a Federal institution (2020-2022) was used to deepen the historical research, to create materials for teaching and to design a digital handbook as a short introduction to the Gurs deportation using the example of the Breisach Jews (as one of 138 places where Jews were rounded up). See English summary: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/neuigkeiten/5956/digital-handbook-gurs-a-search-for-traces/



In summer of 2023 forty Jewish guests from five countries, their families originating in Breisach, shared the celebration of 20 years of the Blue House. A week-long program was prepared and executed with many highlights especially guests meeting students from Breisach and Freiburg. 



The organization has turned in the application for another grant (April 2024 - December 2025) to bring together French and German students to explore the differences of their narratives about the years of Nazi occupation of Alsace. For the 80th anniversary of the end of WW II, the installation of a democratic Germany in 1945 and the development of strong friendly ties between France and Germany a special celebration is in planning for the Breisach bridge. French and German students will work together in a Dance project (under the guidance of Battery Dance Company NY director Jonathan Hollander) creating choreographies and a special choreography for the Breisach bridge. With their participation the young generation will support the plans for a new railroad "bridge for the future" and put emphasis on the strong bond between the youth of both countries.

Studio Zero develops programming and resources on the subjects of meditation, philosophy, theology and the contemplative life.

In the past ten years we have helped hundreds of people to find greater serenity in their lives through meditation practice.

We have sponsored over 100 days of residential retreat practice.

A surprisingly large part of our impact has been among seniors, who have benefited from our gentle techniques.

Many have found our services to be supportive of longterm recovery from addiction.

Our non-sectarian approach to spiritual development has been beneficial to people both inside and outside of traditional religious communities.

Sharing God's love with people living on the streets of the mid-peninsula 💛

We are a community-based, non-profit organization that serves the homeless and at-risk populations of the Mid-Peninsula. We establish environments and build relationships where community volunteers can provide food and clothing, as well as referrals for shelter, addiction recovery, and other personal support.

Street Life Ministries (or SLM) began in 2001 at the downtown Menlo Park train station. Today, due to the help of many people, it now serves over 35,000 meals a year, five nights a week, in Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Redwood City. For 20 years SLM gatherings have built a reputation as the one consistent place the homeless can count on. Whether it is a holiday, a cloudy or rainy day, SLM never varies from the set schedule, giving the homeless a stable option throughout the year.

SLM is an established 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a board of directors, and is very different from many “feeding ministries.” It serves a unique role in the way it cares for the homeless and the hungry in San Mateo/Santa Clara Counties. Hot, home cooked meals served in outdoor venues are less threatening for our homeless neighbors, fostering a safe environment for relational connections to develop with the SLM leaders and volunteers. These connections build trust for guiding homeless friends toward healthier decisions, medical assistance, detox, rehab, housing, mentorship and counseling. In addition to food and encouragement, SLM provides clothing, toiletry kits, sleeping bags, medical supplies, temporary shelter, recovery services and job assistance to those in need. 

SLM is also unique because it places its staff and its services “in the streets”, and “in the camps”, where the homeless live. It reaches more homeless people directly in those street locations than traditional professional service agencies. Additionally, no other homeless non-profit in the area provides local residents with the large number (over 6000 hours per year, estimated) of volunteer hours of opportunity to meet directly and be served on a face to face basis as we do. Homeless folks need love, care, trustworthy friends, and reliable, regular support to improve and/or recover. SLM is “in the trenches and on the street” every day, helping our homeless neighbors. SLM’s outreach can be accessed at all hours of the day and night. 

Street Life is working on launching a 12 month all inclusive rehab program, the Homeless to Healthy program. Check our website for more details!
