Naming and Commendation of an August, 2014 5 Infant Who Died Before Birth

New Resource Available for Those Who Have Experienced Miscarriage or Stillbirth

The loss of a child before birth causes parents and families profound grief. Un- fortunately, that pain is often dismissed by others, even friends and family, who believe that since the loss occurred so early it is not as painful as a later loss. For those who experience such a loss, howev- er, the pain is certainly real and does not quickly go away.

The offers several responses to this grief, including the celebration of a funeral liturgy for the child. Also, the Book of Blessings contains a “Blessing of Parents after Miscarriage”.

Pastoral practice has shown, however, that sometimes an additional blessing is needed -- one in which the parents may actually name their child before a representative of the Church, much as they would have done in the sacrament of Baptism.

The Diocese of Owensboro has prepared a new resource with these grieving families in mind: “Naming and Commendation of an Infant Who Died Before Birth.”

The ritual may be led by a priest, deacon or layperson --including a family member. It may be celebrated in a church, at a graveside or even in a hospital room.

The intent of the blessing rite is to give all who have experienced the death of a pre-born infant an opportunity to set that death within the context of faith. It provides an opportunity for the family to draw strength from other members of the Body of Christ, to memorialize their child in the familiar language and ritual of the Church, and to ac- Jail and Prison Ministry Workshop knowledge that their precious child is at home in the loving embrace You are invited to attend a Diocesan Prison Ministry Committee’s hosted of our God. workshop for persons considering beginning work in Jails and Prisons in the Di- ocese or surrounding area and for persons already involved in this work to better To obtain a free copy of the ritual, please contact Martha Hagan in assist volunteers in providing this much needed ministry.

You were all so generous, and the people we served were so very grateful. I'm going to try to summarize the trip in a few sentences.....this will be hard!! The girls spend some time learning about how mining (un- derground and strip mining) has affected the mountains, and subsequently, the people who live there. The mining has left many areas in the mountains bare, which has had a huge impact Marcia Carpenter, pictured at far left, was among Daviess on the local ecosystem. We spent some time with Green Forest County Public Schools staff members who served as Works, a group dedicated to restoring forests on coal mined chaperones for a special hands-on “real life learning” - experience during Spring Break.

While struggling with the question of how to provide clean water, a chance encounter (or so I thought) on the streets of Louisville led me to Sr. Larraine Lauter who told me about her organization called Water with Blessings. The answer to our prayers! A way to provide clean water to families by sponsoring whom she calls “Water Women”. These water women are given the supplies and education to filter the water for their families and other families in their community. Our first year we doubled our goal and raised enough money for 50 families to receive water filters. Then another struggling question became apparent, “How do we get the filters and educational information to Kenya?” In Kenya it is nearly impossible to just mail something and expect it to get there safely or without having to pay astronomical taxes. But again our prayers were answered when Fr. Chrispin received a call that his cousin, Sr. Carren, was planning to visit him while she was in the US and would be returning home to Kenya in June. Fr. Chrispin immediately enlisted her aide and she gladly accepted to personally transport the filters to Fr. Gabriel. A picture of the “Run for a Reason” group participating in the 5K Run in 2013.

His tenure as principal was an inspiration to me and many others, teachers and students. My first assignment as a priest wasto be Fr. Calhoun’s assistant principal. He taught, not with eloquent words and wisdom, but by the way he lived his life. As Bishop Medley said at his funeral liturgy, “Father Calhoun was a priest’s priest.” Frs. Calhoun, Shonis, and I were here at OCHS together. The enrollment was just over eleven hundred. I look back and can say, “These were the best years of my priesthood.” There were some diffi culties in the Religion department at this time and we dealt with them admirably, thanks to Fr. Calhoun’s leadership. The students knew that we were going through a difficult period, and they wanted to show their support. So they invented a CBS (Calhoun, Bradley and Shonis) day to show their appreci- ation of us and what we were doing. All day long the students would bring gifts to each of us. For lunch, Sr. Mary Justin prepared a delicious meal that we were “privileged” to eat in the sisters’ refectory. Fr. Calhoun was delighted and said, “With this kind of support, we can endure anything.” Father Gerald Calhoun greets the congregation and his family after his first As a priest, Fr.

The primary project is “Billboards for Life” -- a series of Pro-Life billboards typically having pictures of Jesus or Mary with Scripture quotations, such as “I have come that they may have Life.” both directions approaching the church on U S 60 At the bottom of each billboard -- East. in LARGE print -- is a 24 hours a day/7 As you can see from these pictures, the results days a week/365 days a year toll-free are outstanding!

On Labor Day weekend, intercessions for workers may be included in the Univer- sal Prayer; for example: For those who are unemployed or underemployed, for those seeking work; we pray to the Lord. For those who work in hazardous conditions without sufficient protection; we pray to the Lord. For migrant workers and all who work the land so we might be fed; we pray to the Lord. For all employers, that they may seek to provide a just work environment; we pray to the Lord. For those who face discrimination, harassment, or abuse in the workplace; we pray to the Lord. For those who must balance job commitments with the needs of family; we pray to the Lord. Additionally, pastoral visits could be made to places of work, and the following rites from the Book of Blessings could be used: (18) Blessing of an Office, Shop, or Factory; (23) Blessing of Technical Installations or Equipment, and (26) Blessing of Father Emmaual Udoh posed with his family and members of Saint Elizabeth Fields and Flocks.

Darle Un Nombre A Un Bebe, Antes De Nacer Para Encomendarle A Dios Nuevo recurso disponible para aquellos que han Experimentado Aborto Involuntario o Muerte Fetal La pérdida de un hijo antes de nacer causa que los padres y las familias tengan profundo dolor. Por desgracia, ese dolor a menudo es ignorado por muchos, incluso por amigos y familiares, quienes creen que ya que la pérdida ocurrió tan temprano no es tan dolorosa como una pérdida posterior. Sin embargo, para aquellos que experimentan una pérdida como esta, el dolor es real y no se va rápidamente. La Iglesia Católica ofrece varias respuestas a este dolor, incluyendo la celebración de un funeral litúrgico para el pequeño. Además, el Libro de las Bendiciones contiene una "Bendición de los padres después del Aborto Involun- tario". La práctica pastoral ha demostrado, sin embargo, que a veces se necesita una bendición adicional - una en la que los padres pueden en actualidad nombrar a su hijo ante un representante de la Iglesia, tanto como lo habrían hecho en el sacramento del Bautismo. La Diócesis de Owensboro ha preparado un nuevo recurso para estas familias tomando el duelo en mente: "Nom- bramiento y Encomienda de un Bebé Que Murió Antes de Nacer." El ritual puede ser dirigido por un sacerdote, diácono o laico - incluyendo un miembro de la familia. Se puede celebrar en una iglesia, en una tumba o incluso en una habitación de hospital. La intención del rito de bendición es dar a todos los que han experimentado la muerte de un bebé antes de nacer una oportunidad para establecer esa muerte dentro de el contexto de la fe. Proveerá una oportunidad para que la familia saque fuerzas de los demás miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, para conmemorar a su hijo en el idioma familiar y el ritual de la Iglesia, y para reconocer que su precioso hijo está en casa con el abrazo amoroso de nuestro Dios . Para obtener una copia gratuita del ritual, por favor póngase en contacto con Martha Hagan en la Oficina Dioce- sana de Alabanza a [email protected] o al 270-852-8366 .
