Catholic Studies at St Joseph's College,University of AlbertaBy Indre Cuplinskas

St Joseph's College, University of Alberta

St Joseph's College at the University ofAlberta in Edmonton has taken a unique approachto the growing number of Catholic Studiesprograms in Canada by combining theinterdisciplinarity of Catholic Studies with theburgeoning first-year cohort programs thatprovide university students with a thematic first-year experience, small classes and a learningcommunity.

Catholic Studies takes an interdisciplinaryapproach to Catholicism - inviting students todelve into not only theology, but also other waysin which Catholicism manifests itself in the world,particularly through arts and culture, but alsophilosophy, relationships with science, etc.Students enrolled in a Catholic Studies program,of which there are seven in Canada according toRyan Topping in an article in the forthcomingissue of Historical Studies, take a few core coursesgrounding them in the Catholic Tradition, butobtain most of their credits by taking coursescross-listed in other disciplines.

First-year cohort programs have alsosprung up across the continent, particularly atuniversities where many first year introductorycourses are too large to provide students withopportunities to interact with fellow students, letalone approach the professor. First-year cohortprograms address this difficulty by providingsmaller and more intimate classes for students.Courses are usually centred around a theme, forexample, “Great Books,” and students attendclasses with the same group of peers so that theyhave the opportunity to form an intellectual

community as they begin their university studies.St Joseph's College combined these two

developments in North American universities in itsACADEMIA One program, spearheaded in largepart by Dean Timothy Hartnagel, because theunique combination made most sense in aninstitution like St Joe's. Founded in 1926, and thusthe oldest affiliated undergraduate Catholiccollege in Canada, it houses a residence, and runsa chaplaincy program, but was also mandated, inits original charter, to teach history andphilosophy, including ethics. The academic wing ofthe college has grown over the last eighty years,so that today over forty different courses areoffered, taught by ten tenured or tenure-trackprofessors, along with contract instructors. Closeto two thousand University of Alberta studentstake courses annually in theology, ethics, religiouseducation, philosophy, and history. Students canchoose to complete a minor in Christian Theology,though most take courses that fulfill their options,or are cross-listed to their programs. Besidesteaching students registered in any faculty at theUniversity of Alberta, St Joseph’s College alsohouses a vibrant faith community amongstudents, alumni, faculty and staff at theuniversity. In this context, introducing a CatholicStudies program made little sense. There was noneed to reiterate or shore up Catholic identitybecause all St Joseph’s courses deal in some waywith the Christian faith. But the College facultyfelt that something could be done to serve thevery particular needs of the first-year communityof students, namely to ease the transition fromhigh school to university, to create an intellectualcommunity and to help them hone the skillsnecessary for a successful university education.

The ACADEMIA One program wasinaugurated in 2006 in tandem with the Universityof Alberta’s First Year Arts Cohort program.Students take six courses together in their firstyear. Five of these are humanities courses manyof which are requirements for the B.A., includingphilosophy, history, and art history. There is also

a stream for education students. All of theseACADEMIA One courses are capped at fortystudents. The other component of the program,the Catholic Studies seminar capped at twentystudents, helps to integrate what is learned in thehumanities and fine arts courses and brings thislearning into conversation with the Catholictradition. It offers an introduction to the kinds ofsubjects that students would take in a full-blownCatholic Studies program: theology, Catholicismand culture, politics, and ethics. Although theseminar is taught by one professor (and I havebeen fortunate to be that teacher for the pastfour years), students benefit from the expertise ofother faculty, as many of them come in as guestlecturers to discuss St Thomas Aquinas, inter-religious dialogue, Humanae Vitae, religion andscience or contemporary bioethical issues. Inaddition, the smaller seminar format of thecourse allows students to develop their criticalthinking, and practice their oral and writing skills-- all important aspects of an arts degree.

The greatest challenge, which also seemsto affect other Catholic Studies programs in thecountry, is the recruitment of students. In otheruniversities, those who declare majors or minorsin these programs vary between one and twenty,though many more take some of the core coursesthat are offered. Similarly, St Joe’s hasexperienced recruitment challenges, which aremore formidable because ACADEMIA One is a firstyear program. We have to get the word out tohigh school students before they begin theirundergraduate studies: we cannot wait tointroduce them to the program once they are oncampus.

With our recruitment initiatives and wordof mouth, a variety of students have enrolled inthe program - male and female, from Alberta andelsewhere, and both Catholic and non-Catholic.They have appreciated the community and thesmaller class sizes, which have allowed them to beactive participants in their first year of studies atthe University of Alberta. They have also learned,

in their very first days at St Joseph’s, that in the21 century universities continue to be placesst

where faith seeks understanding.

The New Faces of Canadian Catholics: The Asians.

Terence J. Fay, S.J. Toronto: Novalis, 2009. Pp.

336, $24.95 Paper.

In this new book Terence Fay attempts to

correct what he sees as a lacuna in his 2002 A

History of Canadian Catholics, that is, the growing

population of Asian Catholics in Canada. The New

Faces of Canadian Catholics: The Asians, despite a

number of shortcomings, is a ground-breaking

contribution to the study of an increasingly

important portion of the Canadian Catholic

Church.

According to population projections

generated by Statistics Canada, the number of

Asian Catholics in Canada is growing more quickly

than other groups; for example, Filipinos will

constitute the second largest ethnic community in

the Canadian Catholic Church by 2017. The

naming of Vincent Nguyen as Canada’s first Asian-

Canadian bishop in January 2010 is testament to

the growing importance of the Asian Catholic

community. Consequently, Fay is to be

congratulated for this pioneering work on the

history of the “migration and integration of Asian

Catholics into the Canadian Church” (5).

Over the course of a number of years, Fay

interviewed 126 Asian Canadians and 48 Asians in

Bangkok and the Philippines in order to give an

outline of the Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Tamil and

Vietnamese Catholic communities in Canada.

From these interviews, he reconstructs illustrative

life-stories that give the reader an insight into the

challenges that Asian Catholics faced in

integrating into Canadian society and church

structures. Fay also uses historical records from

parishes and diocesan offices to reconstruct the

history of the establishment and expansion of

organizations and national or ethnic parishes for

each of these groups. Finally, he does some first-

hand research on Catholicism in the Philippines to

give readers an idea of the type of Christianity

that Filipinos seek to re-create on Canadian soil.

This first-hand research represents a significant

contribution to our knowledge of Asian-Canadian

Catholics.

Fay weaves his interview data and

historical information into sketches of each

community. He moves from community to

community, parish to parish, and individual life-

story to individual life-story at a fair clip.

Unfortunately, Fay really needed to make the

themes of each section more explicit than he does

in the brief introduction and conclusion to each

Book Reviews

chapter. In fact, there are recurring motifs, and

the attentive reader may pick them up. These

include the focus on family life, economic

hardship, the struggle to have credentials earned

elsewhere recognized in Canada, blatant

discrimination based on ethnicity, race, socio-

economic status, gender and immigrant status;

the often heroic efforts to establish parishes and

other religious organizations; the growth of these

parishes and organizations; and the struggle to

maintain the ethno-religious identity of the

second generation. However, without an explicit

organization of these themes or a theoretical

framework, Fay’s work has a tendency to devolve

into a series of multicultural vignettes, each one

more or less interesting, but lacking an

overarching narrative that would make sense of

the stories.

Fay’s choice of interview subjects and

examples is sometimes idiosyncratic. First and

foremost is the paucity of examples from Quebec,

especially among Francophones. Other

idiosyncrasies arise from his method of collecting

interview subjects. The interview process allows

Fay to add colour and depth to his historical

description, and he has included a good mix of

Asian Catholics. However, one suspects that Fay`s

sample is too pious. He does not include

interviews of lapsed Asian Catholics, not even of

“Christmas and Easter” Catholics. His subjects are

highly motivated, dedicated members of their

parish and ethnic community organizations.

(Clergy are certainly over-represented.) They

strike the reader as exemplary rather than

representative. While Fay often observes that the

offspring of these pious immigrants do not follow

their parents’ beliefs and practices, he does not

interview any of these Catholics and confines

himself to descriptions of hard-working, pious,

well-behaved youth. By contrast, work by Peter

Beyer and others suggests that the offspring of

Canadian immigrants tend to be more secular

than the first generation. Where are they

represented in Fay’s study? Overall, the tone of

Fay’s study sometimes slips into an uncritical

appreciation of the religio-ethnic minority group

reminiscent of earlier studies of Canada’s

multicultural mosaic.

While these criticisms are not

insubstantial, they must be considered in the

context of importance of Fay’s contribution to the

history of the Catholic Church in Canada. With

New Faces of Canadian Catholics: The Asians, Fay

has broken new ground and alerted Canadian

scholars of the existence of an increasingly

important segment of the Catholic Church in

Canada. One hopes that Fay’s work will inspire

other scholars to fill the gaps that are necessarily

part of every ground-breaking work. Moreover,

one hopes that it will inspire scholars to examine

Canadian Catholic immigrant communities from

Africa and Latin America. These studies will give

us a more comprehensive and accurate picture of

the Canadian Catholic Church in all of its diversity

and complexity.

This is an important, if imperfect, book,

and it deserves to be read not only by scholars of

Canadian Catholicism but also by those interested

in the impact of Asian Canadians on the broader

Canadian society. It also needs to be read by

Church leaders and pastors so that they may

better understand their fellow Catholics. To that

end, it should be made required reading in every

seminary and faculty of theology in Canada.

Ottawa Notre Dame Cemetery: An Historic

Cemetery of National Importance Established in

1872. Jean-Yves Pelletier. Québec: Les Éditions

GID, 2009.

Notre Dame is the major Catholic

cemetery in Ottawa. Established by Bishop Joseph

Guigues on what was then the edge of the city, it

replaced earlier cemeteries that were closed due

to their proximity to growing areas of the city and

consequent fear of disease. The cemetery was

designed by Fr Georges Bouillon, an architectural

designer who was responsible for the design of

numerous ecclesiastical buildings in Canada and

the United States, including the interior of

Ottawa’s Notre Dame Basilica where he served for

many years. It backs onto Beechwood Cemetery,

established at the same time as a non-

denominational cemetery where in fact many

Catholics are buried. The first part of the book

briefly traces the history of these prior

cemeteries, the establishment of Notre Dame and

its consequent growth. All this is done in the

space of some twenty pages. The bulk of the book

consists of over 200 biographical profiles of some

of the more prominent persons interred there.

While many of these are primarily of local

interest, some are of national and even

international importance. These include Sir Wilfrid

Laurier, whose large monument stands just inside

the cemetery’s main entrance; portrait

photographer Yousuf Karsh; numerous athletes

including a number of National Hockey League

players and canoeist Francis Amyot, who won a

gold medal at the infamous Berlin Olympics in

1936. Others include ethnologist Marius Barbeau,

native artist Benjamin Chee Chee, politicians such

as Senator Charles Murphy, a cabinet minister

under Mackenzie King, and Lucien Lamoureux,

Speaker of the House of Commons, and senior

civil servants such as Sir Joseph Pope, secretary to

Sir John A. Macdonald and first Under-secretary

of State for External Affairs. Many religious

congregations have their own plot, while three

plots are dedicated to members of the armed

forces. The book also contains a short section on

funerary monuments.

Despite its importance, as indicated in the

title, Notre Dame has not been designated an

historic site at either the municipal, provincial or

federal level. Inexplicably, the Historic Sites and

Monuments Board refused to declare Notre

Dame a national historic site while granting that

status to Beechwood Cemetery, which also

became the national cemetery for the military,

where a number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan

have been buried, and the RCMP.

While the individual biographies are

interesting and make an important contribution

to the local history of Ottawa, the book’s

significance is weakened by the brevity of the

section on the history of the cemetery. Although

the author refers to records of the archdiocese

and of the cemetery in his bibliography, one has

to wonder if he was granted full access to the

archival record. If not, the opportunity to produce

a more detailed history of an important

institution has unfortunately been lost.

Robert James Carney (1933-2009)

Professor Emeritus, University of Alberta

Born November 3, 1933, Robert James

Carney died in Nanaimo B.C. December 9, 2009.

He is survived by his wife Verlie, four children and

ten grandchildren. Donations in his memory may

be made to Fr C.M. McCafferty Endowment Fund,

Foundation of Newman College and St Joseph’s

Seminary, Edmonton.

Bob Carney received his BA and MA from

UBC and his Ph.D. from the University of Alberta.

His family said that Bob “ wore many hats.” He

served as chief superintendent of schools in the

Northwest Territories, as deputy minister of the

Department of Recreation, Parks and Wildlife in

Alberta, and executive director of the Alberta

Catholic Schools Trustees Association. To his

family Bob’s “most rewarding years” were those

he spent as Professor and Chair of the

Department of Educational Foundations, Faculty

of Education, University of Alberta. His research

interests in Aboriginal history and the history of

Canadian education led him to deliver papers and

publish with both the Western Oblate History

Project and the Canadian Catholic Historical

Association (1981, 1983, and 1995). He was one of

very few academics to write on the Grey Nuns’

contribution to Catholic schools in the Northwest.

Members of the Canadian Catholic Historical

Association remember the presentation he did at

our Calgary meeting in 1994, the year he retired

from the University of Alberta which was

published the following year as “Aboriginal

Residential Schools Before Confederation,”

CCHA, Historical Studies, 61 (1995),13-40. In it

and in his other publications on missions and

Aboriginal schools, Bob Carney left a

distinguished legacy.
