Talley—Welcome Bishop Talley Bishop David Prescott Talley was born on September 11, 1950, in Columbus, Georgia. He was raised as a Southern Baptist but converted to Catholicism while a student of Auburn University. He was received into the Catholic Church at the age of 24 at Saint Mary Church, Opelika, Alabama. Family members of Bishop Talley remain faithful Baptists, including a brother who is a deacon. Noting that his background gives him a broad view, he has said, “I do know faith across the spectrum.” After his studies at Auburn, he later obtained a master’s degree in social work from the University of Georgia and worked as a case worker in Fulton County, Georgia, to protect children from abuse. He studied for the priesthood at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in Indiana and obtained a Master of Divinity degree in 1989. Bishop Talley was ordained to the priesthood on June 3, 1989, at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta. As a priest of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, Bishop Talley served as a parochial vicar, administrator, and pastor of a number of parishes. From 1993 to 1998, Bishop Talley studied at Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome where he obtained a doctorate in canon law. He also served part-time in the archdiocesan Tribunal, as the Director of Vocations, and as Chancellor of the Archdiocese. In 2001, he was named a chaplain to His Holiness Saint John Paul II, with the title “Monsignor.” Another of his roles in the Atlanta Archdiocese was as chaplain to the disabilities ministry. He has said that his experience ministering among people with disabilities, which began at his first parish assignment, is key to his spiritual life. “All they can do is ask the Lord for help. That simplicity and humility is where I think the church should by — humble before God,” he said in an interview in 2013. In December 2012, Pope Benedict XVI named Msgr. Talley an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, and he was ordained to the episcopacy on April 2, 2013. His episcopal motto is Dabo Vobis Cor Novm, which is translated “He will give you a new heart.” On September 21, 2016, Bishop Talley was appointed coadjutor bishop of Alexandria, Louisiana and became the twelfth Bishop of Alexandria Bishop David P. Talley’s Coat of Arms Bishop David Talley’s personal coat of arms are composed of several major and significant aspects. Prime among these is the special twelve-pointed silver (white) star known as the “Stella Maris,” or “Star of the Sea,” a classic symbol honoring Our Blesse Mother, to whom His Excellency has such deep and profound devotion. The Stella Maris is placed between two “Cherokee Roses,” silver (white) petals and gold (yellow) barbs and seed, that are the state flower of Georgia and are displayed in the arms of the Diocese of Savannah, where Bishop Talley was born, in Columbus, and in the arms of the Archdiocese of Atlanta where His Excellency has been called to serve as Auxiliary Bishop. The chevron, from the Prescott family arms, is composed of silver (white) and blue wavy bars, representing water and signifies the Chattahoochee and the Savannah rivers that run throughout the territories of the two Georgia dioceses. In the base of the design, is the bark of St. Peter, gold (yellow) with a silver (white) sail charged with the IHS, the monogram of the Holy Name, in red. The bark is the central feature of the logotype of the “Year of Faith” as designated by Pope Benedict XVI; the year of the New Evangelization now being carried forward by a new Holy Father, Pope Francis. For his motto, His Excellency Bishop Talley has selected the Latin phrase “Dabo Vobis Cor Novum.” The phrase, taken from the Book of Ezekiel (Ez 36:26) expresses His Excellency’s faith that Jesus Christ instructs us that He “will give you a new heart.” The achievement is completed by the external ornamentation which are a gold (yellow) processional cross, that is placed in back of the shield and which extends above and below the shield , and the from the Deacon’s corner… Holy Week/Triduum Greetings! I hope your Lent is going well! As we enter April, we have just a few weeks left before Easter. That being said, I wish to speak to you about Holy Week the Triduum which will be here soon! When we speak of liturgical seasons, the Triduum is so small in length that it is often overlooked in its importance. It is in fact the most important liturgical season of the year. The Triduum (pronounced trid-u-um), means “three days”, and is celebrated during Holy Week. It begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, and ends with Evening Prayer on Easter Sunday. I know what you’re thinking. Thursday through Sunday? That’s FOUR days. I’ll explain in a minute. First let’s talk about two other events that take place during Holy Week. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. This is the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem trium- phantly with people acclaiming him as King, and Son of David, and heir to the Kingdom. They laid palm branches at his feet. Palm branches were a sign of royalty and victory. These were the same people who would ask for his crucifixion later on in the week. Also, on Tuesday of Holy Week, we celebrate the Chrism Mass. This Takes place at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the mother church of our Diocese. In one of his first acts as our new bishop, Bishop David Talley will bless and consecrate the Holy Oils that will be used in parishes throughout our diocese in the coming year for administrating the sacraments. Also during this mass, the priests of the diocese renew their commitment to priestly service. As you can see it is a busy week! Now the Triduum. So, if Triduum means three days, how does it cover a four day period? As with many of our Catholic traditions, during the Triduum we follow the Jewish tradition of sundown to sundown. So beginning sundown on Holy Thursday, through sundown on Easter Sunday, the three 24-hour periods of the triduum include the major feasts for all four days of the Easter celebration: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. Holy Thursday begins with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper in which we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist. Fr. Mike will wash the feet of twelve parishioners commemorating the act Jesus performed at the last supper with his twelve apostles. Fr. Mike will consecrate enough hosts so that we will have enough for tomorrow. The Mass does not end with a formal dismissal. We will process out with the Blessed Sacrament to the Chapel of Repose where we can spend time in adoration. This represents the time the apostles spent with the Lord in Gethsemane. Back in the day many people would visit many churches near them to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. On Good Friday we continue what we began on Holy Thursday. Today we celebrate the Passion of the Lord in three parts. In the Liturgy of the Word, we read the Passion account according to John. During the Adoration of the Cross, we give thanks for Christ’s perfect sacrifice for us. And since there is no mass the extra hosts consecrated last night are distributed tonight. At the end of this celebration, all depart in silence and the altar is stripped bare. Many people gather before this celebration to pray the Stations of the Cross.
