    ADDRESS: 4017-21 CHESTNUT ST Name of Resource: New Tabernacle Baptist Church Proposed Action: Designation Property Owner: West Park Church of Deliverance Association Inc. Nominator: Arielle Harris, University City Historical Society Staff Contact: Allyson Mehley, [email protected], 215-686-7660 OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the property at 4017-21 Chestnut Street in the University City neighborhood of West Philadelphia, formerly known as New Tabernacle Baptist Church, and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The nomination contends that New Tabernacle Baptist Church satisfies Criteria A and J by exemplifying not only what became a common practice of merging Baptist congregations in nineteenth-century Philadelphia but also the migration of Philadelphians to West Philadelphia in the mid to late nineteenth century. The nomination asserts that the New Tabernacle Baptist Church satisfies Criteria D and E as an important example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by noted church architect and native Philadelphian Frank Rushmore Watson. In addition, the nomination argues that the church has continuously occupied this parcel along Chestnut Street since 1860, thereby satisfying Criterion H as a recognizable visual feature of its local community and City of Philadelphia. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the nomination demonstrates that the property at 4017-21 Chestnut Street satisfies Criteria for Designation A, D, E, H, and J. 1.

  • Appendices 1 – 12
    APPENDICES 1 – 12 Religion Course of Study PreK-12 --- Diocese of Toledo --- 2018 Appendix 1: God’s Plan of Salvation -- A Summary (Used with permission, Diocese of Green Bay, WI) It is very important that before we dive into the religion Course of Study each year, we set the stage with an overview of God’s plan of salvation – the adventurous story of God’s unfailing love for us, his persistence in drawing us back to himself, and the characters along the way who succeed and fail in their quest for holiness. The context of the Story of Salvation will provide the proper foundation for the rest of your catechetical instruction. The Story can be taught as a one-day lesson, or a week long lesson. Each teacher must make a determination of how long they will take to present the Story to their students. It is important that the story be presented so that each of us can understand our place and purpose in the larger plan of God, as well as how the Church is central to God’s plan of salvation for the world. An overview of God’s plan is to be presented at the beginning of each year, and should be revisited periodically during the year as the subject matter or liturgical season warrants. Please make the presentation appropriate to the grade level. 1. God is a communion of Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three Persons in one God is the Blessed Trinity. God has no beginning and no end.

    THE ALTAR AND ITS DECORATIONS IN MEDIEVAL CHURCHES. A FUNCTIONALIST APPROACH Justin E. A. Kroesen University of Groningen [email protected] Abstract It is the aim of this article to problematize the concept of the medieval altarpiece or retable. If handbook defi nitions of a formal nature are followed, many confi g- urations which actually occur in medieval churches remain overlooked. In order to understand the pluriformity of medieval altar decorations, a functional defi ni- tion seems more helpful, such as ‘any object or depiction on top of or behind the altar that forms a backdrop to liturgical activity on and around the altar’. Altars were sometimes equipped with objects which could adopt the function of an al- tarpiece, including reliquaries and saints’ sculptures, while others were provided with painted or sculptured backdrops which often blend in with the architecture of the building. In addition, many medieval altar decorations display a funda- mentally composite character, with clear distinctions between formal categories such as frontals, altar sculptures, panel retables, tabernacles and shrines being diffi cult to maintain. To gain a better insight into the true variety of medieval altar decorations, special attention should be paid to side altars. Re-evaluating these fi xtures as a basic element of the medieval church interior enables us to form a more realistic picture of the variety of medieval altar furnishings and to better understand the original context of the many loose objects we now admire in churches and museums. Keywords Medieval liturgy, retable, altarpiece, tabernacle, sculpture, painting. Resumen El afán de este artículo es problematizar el concepto del retablo medieval.

  • General Principles
    Administration of Communion and Viaticum at Mass and to the Infirm by an Extraordinary Minister (EMHC) Updated February 18, 2015 General Principles References See the most recent, guiding document: Administration of Communion and Viaticum by an Extraordinary Minister from Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass, USCCB (Washington D.C.: January, 2013). Ordinary Ministers In every celebration of the Eucharist, there should be a sufficient number of ministers of Holy Communion so that it may be distributed in a reverent and orderly manner. Bishops, priests and deacons distribute Holy Communion in virtue of their office as ordinary ministers of the Body and Blood of the Lord.1 Extraordinary Ministers When the size of the congregation or the incapacity of the bishop, priest, or deacon requires it, the celebrant may be assisted by other bishops, priests, or deacons. If such ordinary ministers of Holy Communion are not present, “the priest may call upon extraordinary ministers to assist him, i.e., duly instituted acolytes or even other faithful who have been deputed for this purpose. In case of necessity, the priest may also depute suitable faithful for this single occasion.”2 When recourse is had to Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, especially in the distribution of Holy Communion under both kinds, their number should not be increased beyond what is required for the orderly and reverent distribution of the Body and Blood of the Lord. For the laity, to bear and distribute Holy Communion is a tremendous privilege and not a right. As such, it is important to understand that liturgical ministries exist in service to the Mystical Body of Christ more than any accolades or spiritual graces they bring to us.

    Diocese of Madison CATECHETICAL STANDARDS & BENCHMARKS Grades PreK—8 Promulgated June 8, 2012 Office of Evangelization & Catechesis Office of Catholic Schools June 6, 2012 Dear Friends in Christ, As we in the Diocese of Madison participate in the Universal Church’s preparation for the Year of Faith, it is joyfully fitting that we promulgate our new Catechetical Standards for grades pre-K through 8. I am grateful to the staffs of the Office of Evangelization & Catechesis and the Office of Catholic Schools, along with the many pastors, parents, directors, coordinators, principals, and catechists working in our Catholic schools and parish programs who have taken part in developing these solid standards based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In calling for a Year of Faith, Pope Benedict XVI echoes the words of Blessed John Paul the Great in declaring the Second Vatican Council “the great grace bestowed on the Church in the twentieth century,” and the Catechism of the Catholic Church as “one of the most important fruits” of this Council which “will make a very important contribution to that work of renewing the whole life of the Church.” In the Catechism, our Holy Father declares, we have “a precious and indispensable tool” for all people to not only “arrive at a systematic knowledge of the content of the faith,” but to authentically encounter the person of Jesus Christ “who lives within the Church” (Porta Fidei, 5, 11). In drawing generously and systemically from Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, these new standards offer an excellent foundation for drawing all participants, catechists and students alike, into deeper communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ, for “only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity” (Bl.

  • 6 the Principles of the Program Regarding a Concept of Urban
    The principles of the program regarding a concept of urban-architecture of Roman-Catholic church in the area of the district of “Europejska Stolica Kultury Nowe Żerniki” in Wrocław 1. The church – architecture, elements and the interior equipment The church can be designed on a rectangular or square, with a transept, or without it, in a form of the Latin Cross or Greek cross, of a hall or basilica type (with defined main axis), on vertical or central plan (circle, square, multi-axes) as well as irregular or non-symmetrical projection. The architecture of the church should be adequate for mass service (in the past, the style of the church’s architecture was regulated by liturgical norms). In the vertical projection of the church’s project, a space for people who attend the mass should be made – a nave with a presbytery, which should draw the attention of believers (it is the centre of the mass). The nave must be close to the presbytery and should be designed in away, which will allow the believers to focus their sight on the presbytery. While designing the nave, one should keep in mind that it has to create an atmosphere stating that the church is a serious but also a calm place. The design should also include a place for a prayer in private that is “less attractive than the presbytery”. It is important to also take the lighting, both natural and artificial into the account, along with the acoustics. The size of the nave in the church is determined by the number of believers in the church’s area, who attend masses and the number of the masses.

  • Parish News Recently
    St. Mary’s Catholic Church @ @ @ @ @ Greenville, South Carolina 1 October 2017 Dear Friends in Christ, “Be still and know that I am God.” Thus does the LORD instruct us in Psalm 46, verse 10. The stillness to which we are called in Holy Scripture is a letting go of actions and words that yields silence, both interior and exterior, and such silence is essential for every disciple of the Lord Jesus. We need times of exterior silence in order to cultivate interior silence, and without interior silence we make it very difficult to hear the Word of God. For this reason, silence is indispensable to authentic and mature Christian faith and life. Our Evangelical Protestant brethren often emphasize the need for a daily Quiet Time, and this is nothing other than the ancient Catholic practice of lectio divina, or divine reading, which is a meditative reading of the Scriptures in a quiet place. Lectio divine has four moments: lectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. Reading leads to meditating on what is read, and our meditation leads to prayer that culminates in the contemplation of the beauty of God. Simply set aside time each day, go to a quiet place, open the Sacred Page and read. “Be still and know that I am God.” Exterior and interior silence is also essential in the sacred liturgy, which is one of the reasons why children not yet ready to remain quiet during Mass are probably best entrusted to the nursery or are ready for a quick trip to the cry room or vestibule when necessary.
