"Michael John Iafrate, Mikey, Mike, Stipey Born into mortality: Jan 1, 1977-Born into eternity: May 12, 2021." From the obituary of our Co-coordinator Michael Iafrate, written by his wife, Jocelyn Carlson. Eternal rest grant unto him... newsandsentinel.com/obituaries/202…
Remembering Michael J. Iafrate, a Catholic social justice advocate who died at a young age from cancer this week. Michael oversaw the writing of the 2015 Peopleʼs Pastoral from the Catholic Committee of Appalachia. May he rest in peace. moundsville.org/2021/05/14/dea… via @jwmjournalist

CCA has released a statement on the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. ccappal.org/statements-1/s…
Pope Francis invites us to ponder the God of creation, the author of all life. He demonstrates that Jesus reminds us of God’s parental relationship with all of creation, even birds and sparrows. #Easter #LaudatoSi
It's Earth Day: Contemplate how everything is connected--but is it everything connected equally? with @kingjasone's "Appalachia and Laudato Si’: Developing the Connection between the Poor and the Environment" (46:2) : ow.ly/SrlF50Evigk
Fr. Bryan Massingale on the Chauvin verdict. ncronline.org/news/opinion/c…
On this #EarthDay may we heed the call of Pope Francis in #LaudatoSi to remember that we are all interconnected, and this integral relationship carries a responsibility to care for all of God's creation. vatican.va/content/france…
Jesus invited others to be attentive to the beauty of the world, employed nature in his parables about the Kingdom, and Jesus himself lived in harmony with all creation: Even wind and sea obeyed him. The Risen Jesus is the glorified Lord of all creation, the fulfillment of all.

Been thinking about Mikey a lot today, a true "living pastoral": Listening deeply with the heart, finding Christ's presence there, and then acting boldly, with others, for God's reign --The Telling Takes Us Home, The People's Pastoral ¡Presente! @ThisLandIsHome @IafrateNoGhost
"Michael John Iafrate, Mikey, Mike, Stipey Born into mortality: Jan 1, 1977-Born into eternity: May 12, 2021." From the obituary of our Co-coordinator Michael Iafrate, written by his wife, Jocelyn Carlson. Eternal rest grant unto him... newsandsentinel.com/obituaries/202…
Feeling devastated today as we've learned that our friend and Cheetah Michael Iafrate has left this earth. He was a truly special man and we will miss him dearly. Peace to all who are feeling this loss too.
A tribute to Michael Iafrate, an Appalachian activist who seethed with righteous Christian anarchist punk indignation. “If your interpretation of the Gospel isn’t having you smash some structure,” Michael once told a friend, “it’s idolatrous bullshit.” moundsville.org/2021/05/14/dea…
We lost a social justice warrior when Michael Iafrate passed away this week. He exposed some of the corruption of former West Virginia Bishop Bransfield, and battled to remove corruption from within the Catholic Church. He leaves a legacy to be proud of. moundsville.org/2021/05/14/dea…
“If your interpretation of the Gospel isn’t having you smash some structure, it’s idolatrous bullshit.” Rest in peace, Michael J. Iafrate.

Please pray for my fellow TST doctoral student Michael J. Iafrate (whom I never got the chance to meet) and for his family during this difficult time.

RIP Michael Iafrate: “In Heaven we won’t be painting watercolours or doing clay pottery. We’ll be playing harps.” catholicregister.org/features/arts/…
Some of my favorite Catholic thinking + writing came from Michael Iafrate and his work with Catholic Committee of Appalachia. He was a model for imaginative and prophetic local theologies.

The first time I ever spoke with Michael Iafrate was when he asked me to participate in a panel discussion about the people’s pastoral letter, The Telling Takes Us Home. We met up again soon after and sang and laughed. He was brilliant, humble, and kind: the coolest of the cool.
