June 27, 2024Canon 7 of the Code of Canon Law states that “A law is established when it is promulgated.” In simple terms, a law cannot exist unless it has been made public in an official way. For laws issued by the Holy Father, Canon Law mandates publication in Acta Apostolicae Sedis, an official publication of the Holy See, although this can vary in some cases. As for particular laws, such as diocesan laws, it is up to the legislator to decide how to promulgate them.Read More

June 26, 2024Change is difficult. We are creatures of habit, and anything that pulls us out of our established routines can be challenging. However, change is often necessary. What you are holding in your hands is the last printed edition, or if you are reading the e-version, then this is the last edition you will see in this format. The Lumen has been a great source of local, national and international news related to our Catholic faith and life. It has also been the official newspaper of the Diocese of Sioux City, which means that it has been the official means for Bishop Walker Nickless and his predecessors to promulgate laws and communicate administrative acts.Read More

June 26, 2024Today, the Lumen Media staff and I remain just as committed to reaching the diverse audiences of the diocesan faithful with Catholic news, using the most effective tools of our day. With the rapidly-changing technology in our world, we have numerous cost-effective communications options to reach the people. Our Lumen Media governing board, Lumen Media staff and myself have studied the local and national trends for many years, noting the vast majority of adults prefer electronic means to obtain information over newspaper, radio and television. For example, since its inception in 2020, the number of our LumeNotes e-newsletter readers has more than doubled our newspaper readers.Read More

Draud received a phone call to offer him the president’s job of Briar Cliff University, he didn’t have to think about his answer. “I literally about jumped out of my chair and I accepted this job even before I even knew the details of what it entailed,” he described at the June 11 press conference where Briar Cliff’s Board of Trustees announced him as the university’s new president.Read More

June 26, 2024(Bilingual) In an effort to provide accurate information regarding the new Iowa immigration law (SF2340), Storm Lake St. Mary Parish, Storm Lake advocacy and health coalition organization Salud, the Storm Lake Police Department and the diocesan Office of Multicultural Ministries collaborated to offer a session in Spanish in the St. Mary parish hall following the June 23 Spanish Mass. Storm Lake Police Chief Chris Cole said he reached out to Father Brent Lingle, St. Mary pastor, as organizers wanted to have the meeting in a place where immigrants would be at ease, such as the local Catholic Church.Read More

June 26, 2024Six of the 10 diocesan seminarians are serving in several parishes of the Diocese of Sioux City this summer by assisting with Vacation Bible Schools. According to the diocesan director of seminarians, Father Shane Deman said they wanted to allow the men to serve in a variety of parish settings. “We know that seminarians benefited greatly from the Totus Tuus program of past years, meeting various pastors and DREs in different areas of the diocese,” he said. “We also wanted them to develop their catechesis skills, so helping in Vacation Bible Schools seemed like the best way to continue their formation in the diocese during the summer months.”Read More

June 26, 2024Although yoga originated in India about 5,000 years ago, its popularity remains today. It’s a system of physical, mental and spiritual practices made up of a series of poses, breathing, chanting and meditation. While it sounds pretty harmless, the Catholic stance on yoga varies as it has pre-Christian origins steeped in Hinduism. What makes it hard for Catholics - and Christians as a whole – “is it is not black and white, it’s a gray area,” said Juliane Flanery of Sioux City, who is a former yoga instructor. “There is not a concrete answer from the church.”Read More
