FRANCIS THE FIRST
Carroll College joins the rest of the Catholic world in welcoming our new Pope Francis and praying for his wisdom, vitality and success. Carroll alumnus Bishop George Leo Thomas has posted a lovely reflection on the new pontiff at: http://www.diocesehelena.org/news-events/press-releases/2013-03-13-pope-francis.html Meanwhile, Carroll Campus Ministry Director and Chaplain Marc Lenneman has also offered his view of this propitious event on the Campus Ministry Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Carroll-College-Campus-Ministry/195422970495282?ref=stream
To get schooled on what all this means for the Church and for us all, Carroll College Theology Professor Brian Matz has put together an illuminating discussion, “Colloquium super papatum” (A Discussion about the Papacy), set for Monday, March 25 in Carroll’s Trinity Hall Lounge starting at 6:30 p.m. With Dr. Matz as moderator, the panel of experts will include Dr. Paul Dietrich of the University of Montana presenting “Theology of Benedict XVI,” Fr. John Robertson of the Diocese of Helena Chancery presenting “What Canon Law has to say about Conclaves and the Papacy,” Fr. Marc Lenneman offering “Reflections of a ‘Roman’ during the 2005 Conclave,” and Carroll Theology Department Chair Dr. John Ries concluding with “The Papacy in Contemporary (and Future) Perspective.” It’s free and open to the public.
ST. PADDY SEZ: “NOW LET’S CELEBRATE!”
With a new pope and the eyes of the world on the Church this week, the feast of St. Patrick couldn’t be better timed.

When Carroll opened its doors to women, she enrolled in the college’s new Nursing Program/Sisters of Charity School of Nursing when more nurses were called for in the wake of WWII. After graduation, she used her nursing degree as a stewardess (required at the time) and was one of the first stewardesses for Northwest Airlines.

On March 6, 2013, at the age of 91, Francis Lee Bertoglio (photo left), class of 1949, died at home in Missoula. He attended college at Montana Tech until the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when he enlisted as a Navy medical corpsman. After training in San Diego and Honolulu, he was transferred to the Marine 1st Air Wing as a medical corpsman and served in the Pacific Theater at Guadalcanal as well as smaller, primitive islands. He helped set up a hospital on Advanced Little Coral Island, and eventually ended up in New Hebrides, where he was assigned to the famous “Black Sheep Squadron.” Following his return to Butte, where he worked as a pharmacist’s assistant, Lee used the G.I. Bill to enroll at Carroll College to study medicine. It was at Carroll where he developed a lifelong devotion to the Catholic faith. Upon graduation from Carroll and the University of Michigan Medical School, and his internship at Virginia Mason in Seattle in 1955, he joined the practice of Dr. Anderson and Dr. Benjamin in Deer Lodge, Mont. He developed the medical standards at the Montana State Prison, started the first intensive coronary care unit at a rural Montana hospital, and expanded medical-care treatment options for Montana’s rural citizens. He dedicated 47 years of his life to his medical career and the citizens of Deer Lodge, retiring on his 80th birthday. Highlighting his dedication was the year 1985: As the lone doctor in Deer Lodge for the entire year, he worked 24/7 to ensure the hospital’s doors remained open to patients. For all his years of service, he was named the Montana Country Doctor of the Year and was a finalist at the national level.

James Daniel “Curly” Harrington (photo right), class of 1961, died on Feb. 27, 2013, at home surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Judy (Duke) Harrington, who was the impetus for his transfer from Montana State University to Carroll College, where she was pursuing a nursing degree in the 1950s. He was a Fighting Saint who, after earning his history degree, went on to obtain a master’s from the University of Montana. Jim began his teaching career at Great Falls Central High School, where he taught from 1961 to 1964. His love was always Butte and in 1964, he was able to land a job teaching history and government at Butte High School. Jim also worked as an assistant football coach from 1964 to 1976, and as the head wrestling coach for the Bulldogs from 1967 to 1976. In 1993, after 29 years of teaching, coaching and mentoring the youth of Butte, Jim retired from Butte High School. However, he was far from done working. From 1989 to 2004, he worked as an adjunct instructor for Montana Tech, teaching “History of the Indians in the Northwest” and his most popular course, the “History of Butte.” During this time, he also drove the Butte Trolley, giving tours and telling tales of the city he was so proud of. He also taught the “History of Montana and the West” at Western Montana College from 1998 to 1999.
