The Franciscan Institute Medal is awarded annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to Franciscan scholarship and education. A professor of church history at the Franciscan School of Theology, Fr. Chinnici previously served as the academic dean of the school and for nine years was the minister provincial of the Province of St. Barbara, the administrative region of the Franciscan friars in the West. He was in this post when the clergy sex abuse scandal touched his order — several years before it became a national issue. He has published a book, “When Values Collide,” which blends his own personal experience of trying to do the right thing in a fraught atmosphere, the best socialscientific and psychological research, and serious reflection by a follower of St. Francis on the way the church’s leaders can re-establish confidence and trust. Fr. Chinnici graduated with a doctoral degree from the University of Oxford in 1976. He is a widely known author and preacher and a published expert on both the history of American Catholicism and the development of Franciscan theology and spirituality. His ground-breaking work “Living Stones: The History and Structure of Catholic Spiritual Life in the United States” (second edition 1996) has been followed by numerous articles in “U.S. Catholic Historian,” the co-edited “Prayer and Practice In the American Catholic Community,” and significant studies on the history of prayer and on the reception of Vatican II in the United States. Fr. Chinnici has served for the

Dixie Chicks at The Square Martie Maguire and Emily Robinson Scheduled for July 14th
Buffalo, New York – Thursday at the Square will feature the Court Yard Hounds, this Thursday, July 14th at the Erie Canal Harbor Central Wharf! The Court Yard Hounds were formed by sisters and Dixie Chicks members, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison in 2009. The Dixie Chicks lead vocalist Natalie Maines was not ready to break from the group’s 3 year hiatus, so Maguire and Robison formed Court Yard Hounds as a side project. Maguire says, “Sony’s looking at this like an artist launch and we’re looking at it like a new chapter in music… We definitely are going to tour this and make another record. I know this isn’t just a one-time, get-it-off-our-chests, g getthese-songs-recorded-and-goback-to-our-lives thing.” Their first performance as Court Yard Hounds was at the American Music Association’s South by Southwest Mardi Gras show in Austin, Texas on March 18, 2010. Court Yard Hounds debut album has sold over 250,000 copies in the United States. The Dixie Chicks lead vocalist is still on an indefinite break and Maguire and Robison plan to release another Court
Yard Hounds album in 2011. According to Rolling Stone, “Natalie Maines’ feistiness is missed, but Robison, who wrote most of the songs, has a way with a hook - and those harmonies make even the weepiest weepers go down smooth.” Opening up the evening of performance at the Erie Canal Harbor Central Wharf will be Alison Pipitone Band and Rob Falgiano Band. Thursday at the Square is a ten-week, free-to-the-public celebration of music, summer fun and Downtown Buffalo, produced by Buffalo Place Inc. The event draws record crowds into Downtown Buffalo and creates spin-off business for bars, restaurants and dance clubs. For every $1.00 invested into the concert series, $6.38 is
