SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: From Rome to Appomattox: A History of Catholic Civil War Chaplains
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 10  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Father Robert Miller   \nMilitary chaplaincy has existed for over 1\,600 years\, with its earliest connections being seen some 3\,000 years ago. In this talk\, Father Robert Miller will first outline the history of religious people being actively involved with the world’s military. He will then focus on a subset of Catholic chaplains in the Civil War – their challenges\, numbers\, impact\, and stories of the more colorful and interesting “characters” among them. \nThe 126 Catholic priests who were Civil War chaplains were not your “usual” priests and bishops. They were a unique group of pioneers – tough\, adventuresome\, courageous\, outspoken\, deeply committed\, and very spiritual. Being a Catholic in mid-19th-century America was not an easy task\, due to the lack of priests as Catholic immigrants flooded the country\, a strong anti-Catholic culture\, and a Vatican that didn’t “get” American democracy. \nRev. Miller’s presentation will put flesh on the often-forgotten topic of religion in the Civil War\, and a group of Catholic clergymen who changed the country\, becoming “legends” because of their wartime service – Cooney\, Corby\, Sheeran\, Ireland\, Whelan\, and more. One chaplain wrote that “courage is the currency with which men’s loyalty is purchased.” Indeed\, not only during the American Civil War\, but throughout history\, the power of religious people to influence\, encourage\, support\, challenge\, and bring God into the hell of war was\, and remains\, a topic well worth exploring. \nRobert J. Miller is a Catholic priest of 49 years\, retired from 35 years of inner-city Chicago ministry. He has Master’s degrees in Religious Education and Divinity\, has authored five books on spirituality and faith\, and was an adjunct professor of Church History at the University of St. Mary of the Lake. A former President of the Chicago Civil War Round Table\, he frequently speaks on topics of spirituality and history\, especially on Civil War religion. His 2007 book\, Both Prayed to the Same God – Religion and Faith in the Civil War\, was the first book-length overview of the topic. His newest book – Faith of the Fathers – A Comprehensive Study of Catholic Civil War Chaplains – was published in April 2025. A summary of his work in this area\, and a documentary film\, can be found at www.faithofthefathers.net

Using first person accounts from both sides plus photos from the Library of Congress collection\, this program will help us learn the human story of that 292 day period of the Civil War in Virginia.

SUMMARY:The Pullman National Park Story
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 20  |  1pm – 2pm  |  Presented by: Park Ranger Hank Bell  |  Free\, registration required  |  Register Here \nJoin Park Ranger Hank Bell for a presentation on Pullman National Historical Park – the first National Park Service site designated in the Chicagoland area. \nThe park tells the story of the Pullman Company and its pivotal role in revolutionizing rail travel in the 19th century. It also preserves one of the first planned industrial communities in the United States\, offering insight into early urban planning and design. Pullman holds a unique place in American labor history\, serving as the backdrop for the historic Pullman Strike and Boycott of 1894. The park also honors the legacy of the Pullman Porters\, an almost exclusively African American workforce whose efforts helped lay the foundation for the Black middle class in America. \nRanger Bell joined the team at Pullman National Historical Park in August 2024. Before beginning his career with the National Park Service\, he spent over twelve years working as an attorney and compliance officer in downtown Chicago.
