I Rachel Thelen is this week’s example of a Notre Dame student’s passionate commitment to their faith and to serving Vigil Mass - Basilica : others. Rachel is a Theology and Sociology major with a minor in Education, Schooling and Society. Rachel has made 30 minutes after game I service a cornerstone of her Notre Dame experience during her four years here. She has participated in the Urban Plunge, a | CSC seminar to Appalachia, and a Summer Service Project at the Holy Family Shelter in Indianapolis, IN. This past summer Vigil Mass - Stepan Center | Rachel worked with High School students from all over the country at NDVision. She worked as a small group leader with 45 minutes after game students as they sought to deepen their faith and discover their vocation. This school year Rachel has continued her service to others in two distinct and important ways. Rachel serves as a Catechist for 8th grade students at St. Pius X parish. Rachel’s help is especially important since these students are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in f u n d c m 1 1/6 the spring. With all that written, this article still has not even brushed the surface of Rachel’s most important ministry this year. Rachel is also a proud RA of Walsh Hall. She is a leader in the Hall and specifically of a floor of young women as they progress and grow through their college years. This final ministry of Rachel’s is truly unceasing as she makes herself Mass - Basilica available to help in whatever way Walsh residents need. Thank you Rachel for sacrificing so much of your time, and 8:00 AM 10:00 AM devoting so much faith and energy to helping the Notre Dame community. 11:45AM Let us know who out there is making a difference! Send nominations to Brian Vassal at bvassel@ nd. edu Spanish Mass - 1:30PM St. Edward’s H all Chapel Catholic tP&j\ - Is there anything that I can do to make the Mass a more welcomiiig experience for my Protestant friend who’s never montiou 11 n been before? You have hit on a point of particular importance to the Catholic Church today... how we can better welcome people into the Eucharistic Adoration Catholic community, beginning with their first visit. Now, before you Catholics claim that the Church does a fine job of welcoming folks 11:00AM - 9:00PM(M-TH) already because we have a few greeters at the door, I challenge you to think through the Mass from the perspective of one who has never Co-Mo Chapel attended one before. You may then be able to see why the Catholic Church does not have the reputation of being a particularly welcoming Church to the average “outsider.” Compared to the worship service in many Protestant communities, where handouts provide an “order of worship” (which may vary from week to week) and offer guidance in every response and prayer, the Mass can seem very complex, foreign, and unfriendly. When a visitor comes to Mass for the first time, they often can’t help but feel inadequate or even dumb: not T u e / d c m 1 1 1 8 knowing the correct responses, actions, and musical “Mass parts” that are recited or sung with little-to-no apparent thought; ignorance of when to change posture (fyi... there 15 posture changes in the average Mass); and a general fear of what to do when it comes time for Holy Communion. By pointing this out, I don’t mean to say that something should be eliminated from the Mass in an effort to be more welcoming; rather I mean to make YOU, the “average Catholic,” aware of this perception by non-Catholics so that you can make the Mass r m J more inviting to those who are perhaps looking in through the proverbial stained-glass windows. So, when you bring someone to Mass for the first time, try the following. Before Mass begins, explain to them that the Mass Catholic. Fellowship. Here. will probably be unlike any other worship experience they’ve had, and encourage them to just follow along to the best of their ability. Explain the reason for the ritual present in the Mass: that the prayers, actions, readings, and Eucharist we celebrate come to us from the Cavanaugh Hall Chapel earliest Christians and are a means of uniting ourselves in common worship with the other billion Catholic Christians in the world. Let the 8:30PM visitor know that it’s O.K. for them not to do everything, especially if they don’t yet know WHY they’d be doing it (e.g., kneeling, Topic: making the Sign of the Cross, etc).

(NOTE: This of course puts the burden on the Catholic to know why you do the things you do, and if you don't know, to at least know where you can find the answers... and never hesitate to ask a priest or Campus Minister for more info!)
