Arusi Network, Inc
The work of Lyke To Lyke Consultants and our
not-for-profit arm, Arusi Network, Inc., is to awaken us, married
couples and the stakeholding communities in which we live and move and
have our being, to this truth about marriage, that none of us are strong
enough or wise enough to do this alone. We need the wisdom and strength
of the village to sustain marriage. And the village needs marriage to be
the credible witness of God's covenantal love in our midst.
The programs and services we offer lead to a
deeper understanding and appreciation of an African worldview (defining
the "I" in the "we") as it pertains to marriage. Indeed, it takes a
village to sustain a lifelong marriage. The more a married couple
embraces this truth the broader their base becomes. And their marriage
strengthens.

The Bethesda Healing Ministry
Bethesda Healing Ministry is a Catholic
Christian ministry of hospitality and healing. Through a community of
love and acceptance all men and women wounded by abortion are invited
and supported. Together they share a rich healing journey through
fellowship, prayer, the Sacraments, a structured scriptural/experiential
manual, retreats and days of recollection. In unity with the Sisters of
Life, N.Y., experienced leadership, trained companions and compassionate
clergy, all who come receive and celebrate the forgiveness, mercy and
hope of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who "left the ninety nine to go after
the one who was lost". Bethesda Healing Ministry is an experience of
hope. It is dedicated to love, welcome and assist all who have been
wounded by abortion, and can be appropriately described by the following
words of our late beloved Pope John Paul II: "With the friendly and
expert help and advice of other people, and as a result of your own
experience" you will find healing.

Evangelization and 125 years of service

Established in 1884, the Black and Indian
Mission Office supervises the Collection - the only annual appeal
mandated by the Third Plenary Council - and distributes these funds as
diocesan grants.
Through the years, the funds from the annual
appeal have been responsible for continuing the Church's faithful in
supporting the evangelization needs of the Black and Native American
communities in the United States. Each year, Ordinaries appeal to the
Black and Indian Mission Office for help in the tasks of parish support
and evangelization. It is only through the constant generosity of Church
members toward the Collection that such efforts are realized.

Catechism of the Catholic Church
A popular manual of instruction in Christian
doctrine. In the early Church, catechetical instruction was standardized
in preparation for baptism as in the writings of St. Augustine (354-430)
and St. Gregory of Nyssa (330-95). After the invention of printing,
books of catechetical instruction multiplied. The best known catechisms
in the Catholic Church are St. Peter Canisius' Summa of Christian
Doctrine (1555) and the Catechism of the Council of Trent or Roman
Catechism (1566). Numerous catechisms were published in various
countries authorized by their respective hierarchies, e.g., the
so-called Penny Catechism in Great Britain and the series of Baltimore
Catechisms in the United States. Since the Second Vatican council, all
catechisms published by ecclesiastical authority must also be "submitted
to the Apostolic See for review and approval" (General Catechetical
Directory, 119). ["Universal Catechism"]
