The fundamentals, however, have remained constant: respect for the dignity of the human being and human labor, the right to organize and the right to a living wage.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States this tradition has been championed by John Ryan, Francis Haas, Walter Reuther, and Philip Murray among others, not to mention the innumerable men and women on the local level who have sacrificed so much for this vision.<\/p>\n<p>The Church has called upon priests and seminarians to foster these goals, so it is especially fitting that St. Joseph College Seminary should honor the men and women of our day in business, labor, and government who have excelled in their support of these ideals.<\/p>\n<p>In 1891 Leo XIII issued the first Papal document in modern times on the condition of Labor, Rerum Novarum.\u00a0 He began with an ominous assessment: \u201cThe elements of a conflict are unmistakable; the growth of industry and the surprising discoveries of science \u2026 the enormous fortunes of individuals and the poverty of the masses . . . and, finally, a general moral deterioration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over a century later, the challenge remains and involves all of us, as it always has. The men and women who are the institutions of family, labor, business, government and church must work together to renew the vision and demonstrate a common conviction in the dignity of every human being, in the value of all human work, in the power of human solidarity in the face of human greed and exploitation, and most of all in the coming of Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection are the vindication of all human goodness, justice and love.<\/p>\n<h3>Check back for more information, registration, and sponsorship opportunities for our upcoming annual Seminary Salutes Rerum Novarum on October 28, 2025.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminary Salutes to Labor, Business, and Government Begun in 1991, the Seminary Salutes to Labor, Business, and Government event was created for \u00a0St. Joseph College Seminary\u2019s to support the formation&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":9715,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[58,55],"class_list":["post-6677","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-mundelein-seminary","tribe_events_cat-usml","cat_mundelein-seminary","cat_usml"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
