Archbishop Henning to receive special vestment from Pope Leo XIV Sunday in Rome
Henning will be one of eight archbishops from the United States, and 48 from around the world, who will receive the pallium from the pope during a 9:30 a.m. Mass in St. Peter's Square, the archdiocese said. CatholicTV will air the Mass live at 3:30 a.m. Boston time and then rebroadcast it on Sunday at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., according to the statement. The pallium, a narrow white band with black crosses, is mostly worn when an archbishop is principal celebrant of a Mass for a special occasion, such as ordinations, confirmations, and church dedications, among other events, the archdiocese said. Separately, the archdiocese announced a special concert series starting on Sunday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Advertisement Gavin Klein, a junior organ scholar at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, will perform the first concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, the archdiocese said. Built by the prominent 19th-century Boston firm E. and G.G. Hook & Hastings, the cathedral's organ is the largest surviving instrument from the company, according to the church's Advertisement Its 5,292 pipes — ranging from pencil-thin flutes to bass pipes over 32 feet tall — fill a large room at the rear of the cathedral, according to Richard Clark, music director at the cathedral. Though the organ has been updated to operate electronically rather than manually, the historic instrument has been tonally preserved, meaning 'the people who hear the organ now are hearing the same beautiful sounds that people heard when the cathedral first opened in 1875,' Clark said in an email to the Globe. Other recitals to celebrate the organ's milestone will feature performances by Leo D. Abbott, former director of music at the cathedral, who was instrumental in the organ's restoration; James Kennerley, municipal organist of Portland, Maine; and Rosalind Mohnsen, organist at Immaculate Conception in Malden, the archdiocese said. The dates and times of those concerts will be announced later, the archdiocese said.

'It is incredibly freeing': Lauren Chan is a lot more comfortable after coming out as a lesbian
Lauren Chan is "much more comfortable" since coming out. The 34-year-old model came out as a lesbian in a 2023 article for Sports Illustrated and admits that no longer being in the "male gaze" has lifted a weight from her shoulders. Lauren told People magazine: "I'm so much more comfortable in myself. In coming out, I've ditched the male gaze, and it is incredibly freeing because I used to perceive myself in the way that the patriarchy wants us to consider women. If I had a part of my body that made me insecure based on the beauty ideal, it would ruin my entire sense of self. "Since being in the female gaze, I've realised that that doesn't exist. I fully believe that the way I show up to represent women does not always have to be flattering. Some of my favourite work is about making the body look relaxed or bigger. It's healing in a lot of ways. Bigger bodies are artful too." Lauren - who founded the plus-size clothing brand Henning - appeared in the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue earlier this year and is delighted that the publication gave her the opportunity to silence cruel trolls. She said: "Women are everything to me, literally. "This year, for Sports Illustrated, I got to write an essay for the print edition called 'For The Girls'. The essay is about the fact that I am not asking for permission to take up space. I'm taking it. "The essay and cover both came about after a man trolled me on my Instagram when Sports Illustrated Swimsuit announced my return to the issue with a picture. "The person said, 'Who are we even doing this for? Women? This doesn't make any sense.' I'm so glad that happened. I love my trolls because they give me an opportunity to educate, so bring it on." Lauren is set to marry her partner, film director Hayley Kosan, later this year and revealed that she entered her "bridal era" after her Sports Illustrated cover appearance gave her wedding "vibes". She said: "Engaged life is great. My (swimsuit photoshoot) looks are giving bridal (vibes). There was tulle, there was beading, there were pearls. "I'm very much in my bridal era, and I'm really excited about that. It's been really comforting and celebratory. I'm not at all ashamed of choosing a new path for myself. I feel really calm and comforted."

Save Hyde Park Square volunteers 'showed up in droves'
Opponents of a controversial $150 million development planned for Hyde Park Square knew the task ahead of them was enormous. In order to reverse a zoning change approved by Cincinnati City Council, they needed to collect more than 9,000 signatures. When the petition drive was over, an army of volunteers had gathered more than 18,000 signatures. Now city voters in November will have the opportunity to repeal the zoning change, forcing developers back to the drawing table. 'This is why City Council should pay attention, because it was not hard to recruit the 300 volunteers that we had,' said Molly Henning, a founding member of the advocacy group Save Hyde Park Square. 'Anytime we asked our volunteers – hey, could you show up for this? – they showed up in droves.' Henning, an interior designer and former city planner, was this week's guest on The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati podcast. Her group, along with the Hyde Park Neighborhood Council, opposed the zoning change that potentially cleared the way for a tiered, seven-story boutique hotel that would tower 85 feet over the square, replacing the single-story Coldwell Banker building on the south side of Erie Avenue. Current zoning limits the height of buildings to 50 feet. In addition to the hotel, the À L'aise apartment building on Erie would be expanded from 41 units to more than 100 new apartments with street-level spaces for new restaurants and stores. Shortly after plans were revealed, yellow 'It's just too big' yard signs started popping up along neighborhood streets. 'People are tired of not being listened to by their government, and I think City Hall really needs to take this seriously,' Henning said. That's So Cincinnati, The Enquirer's weekly podcast on what's making news in our community, features a who's who of special guests. Listen to it at Audioboom, Apple or your favorite podcast platform.

Naperville-based Alive Center for Teens to start franchising
In 2020, Grey Bauer was headed into the eighth grade. At the time, between the COVID-19 pandemic and challenges personally, they weren't in the best headspace, Bauer, now 17, recalled. But then they discovered the Alive Center for Teens in Naperville. The sense of comfort Bauer felt was immediate, they said. 'I completely fell in love with Alive,' said Bauer, who graduated from Metea Valley High School over the weekend. 'You're immediately welcomed with open arms.' Now, Alive is looking to expand its reach. The nonprofit is ready to start franchising, the center has announced. With locations in Naperville, Aurora and Hanover Park, the organization has launched a social franchise model and is hoping to 'significantly expand its proven teen support system statewide,' the release said. 'That's really the message we're (giving) out, that we're here,' said Kandice Henning, CEO of The Alive Center. 'That we have a solution that is proven and works and we are willing to share it. We really want to help more kids and impact more kids in a positive way. (We want to) help more families and more communities ultimately.' The Alive Center opened in 2015. Designed for students in fifth through 12th grade, it offers free school and summer programming spanning a wide range of subjects and focus areas, including leadership, nutrition, stress management, meditation and creative expression, among others. It also offers free tutoring services. At the core of the center's mission is to create the 'confident, impassioned and resilient leaders of tomorrow,' according to its website. As part of that vision, the nonprofit has a 20- to 30-member Teen Advisory Board that gives youth the opportunity to try their hand at leading their own initiatives and projects. On the whole, the aim is 'preventative mental health care,' Henning said. In last year's Illinois Youth Survey, 27% of DuPage County 10th- and 12th-graders said over a 12-month period, they had felt 'so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row' that they stopped doing some usual activities. The Illinois Youth Survey is a self-report survey administered in school settings across the state every other year. The Illinois Department of Human Services has funded the administration of the survey since 1990. 'It's all about protective factors. … (It's about giving them) a space to be safe,' Henning said, 'and to feel where they belong because the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) says the number one thing that helps with positive mental health in youth and adults is connection.' Franchising Alive's method has been a long time coming. The idea grew out of the B.R. Ryall YMCA in Glen Ellyn approaching the nonprofit three years ago about wanting to establish a franchise, Henning said. Originally, Alive's intent had been to work with the YMCA to do just that. Ultimately, though, the Glen Ellyn facility instead ended up becoming certified by the Alive Center to take a teen-driven approach to programming rather than building out a full-blown franchise. But by that point, the Alive Center had already started creating the materials necessary to facilitate franchising, Henning said. Initially, the Alive Center plans to focus on potential franchisees in Illinois, specifically the Chicago metropolitan area. Franchisees could include someone wanting to build out a new standalone center or a 'fractional franchise' as part of an already existing entity, Henning said. For the latter, she used the example of a Target offering a Starbucks franchise inside its store. In the case of the Alive Center, a fractional franchise could look like a center integrated into a library or park district, or even a municipal building, she said. Long-term, franchising will allow the Alive Center to grow faster, Henning said. 'If we went (with) the model of satellites … we might be able to do one a year but probably more likely one every two years,' she said. 'A franchise model enables us to do this much more quickly because it's not all on us.' Franchisees will have access to training, consulting, standardized processes and procedures, customizable templates and ongoing collaborative support, according to Alive. Since its inception eight years ago, the Alive Center has recorded more than 85,000 teen visits, serving more than 8,000 teens. If it wasn't for the Alive Center, Bauer said, 'I truly don't think that I would be in a good headspace now.' Post graduation, Bauer plans to attend College of DuPage for the next two years and after that transfer to Illinois State University. They want to be a teacher. tkenny@
