Vatican City June 29, 1969, Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul . By maJ1date of the Car~inal. Prefect A. BUGNINI Secretary NEW CLASSIFICATION OF LITURGICAL DAYS According to the norms given in the new Roman Calendar, issued March 21, 1969, all feasts of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin and the Saints are to be distinguished and named as follows : SOLEMNITY FEAST Obligatory MEMORIAL { Optional Solemnity This is the highest class of celebration which commences at 1st Vespers and includes all feasts which formerly were designated as Class I, e.g. Corpus Christi, or Assumption of B.V. Mary. Feast Under this heading come feasts which formerly were designated as Class II, e.g. St. James, Ap. (July 25) or Transfiguration of Our Lord, (August 6). Memorial This term is now used for feasts which formerly were designated as Class III, e.g. St. Francis of Assisi (October 4) or St. Bruno (October 6). Some of these Memorials are considered to have some appeal throughout the universal Church and their celebration is therefore obligatory ( Obliga­ tory Memorial, e.g. St. Francis of Assisi). Other Memorials are considered to have less universal appeal and their celebration is therefore optional (Optional Memorial, e.g. St. Bruno). The Canadian Ordo for 1970 (Liturgical Calendar) will indicate the classification of all feasts by using. the new as well as the old terminology, as for example, "Epiphany of the Lord," Solemnity (I cl.), "Baptism of the Lord," Feast (II cl.); St. Anthony, Abb., Memorial (III cl.).

  • I. the Easter Vigil II. Holy Days of Obligation III. Special Celebrations for Dioceses and Parishes IV
    Liturgical Calendar Notes I. The Easter Vigil II. Holy Days of Obligation III. Special Celebrations for Dioceses and Parishes IV. Rogation Day Prayer Service The Easter Vigil The first Mass of Easter, the Easter Vigil, falls between nightfall of Holy Saturday and daybreak of Easter Sunday. The General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, no 21, states: The Easter Vigil, during the holy night when Christ rose from the dead, ranks as the “mother of all vigils.” Keeping watch, the Church awaits Christ’s resurrection and celebrates it in the sacraments. Accordingly, the entire celebration of this vigil should take place at night, that is, it should either begin after nightfall or end before the dawn of Sunday. Individual parishes can check the following website to determine nightfall in their area: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html On this website, nightfall is listed as “End civil twilight.” Liturgical Calendar Notes 1 Holy Days of Obligation On December 13, 1991 the members of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States of American made the following general decree concerning holy days of obligation for Latin rite Catholics: In addition to Sunday, the days to be observed as holy days of obligation in the Latin Rite dioceses of the United States of America, in conformity with canon 1246, are as follows: January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the solemnity of the Ascension (observed on the 7th Sunday of Easter in Kentucky Dioceses) August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary November 1, the solemnity of All Saints December 8, the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception December 25, the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated.

  • Historical Notes on the Canon Law on Solemnized Marriage
    The Catholic Lawyer Volume 2 Number 2 Volume 2, April 1956, Number 2 Article 3 Historical Notes on the Canon Law on Solemnized Marriage William F. Cahill, B.A., J.C.D. Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.stjohns.edu/tcl Part of the Catholic Studies Commons This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in The Catholic Lawyer by an authorized editor of St. John's Law Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The nature and importance of the Catholic marriage ceremony is best understood in the light of historicalantecedents. With such a perspective, the canon law is not likely to seem arbitrary. HISTORICAL NOTES ON THE CANON LAW ON SOLEMNIZED MARRIAGE WILLIAM F. CAHILL, B.A., J.C.D.* T HE law of the Catholic Church requires, under pain of nullity, that the marriages of Catholics shall be celebrated in the presence of the parties, of an authorized priest and of two witnesses.1 That law is the product of an historical development. The present legislation con- sidered apart from its historical antecedents can be made to seem arbitrary. Indeed, if the historical background is misconceived, the 2 present law may be seen as tyrannical. This essay briefly states the correlation between the present canons and their antecedents in history. For clarity, historical notes are not put in one place, but follow each of the four headings under which the present Church discipline is described.

Carl Schrage Seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides. (…) For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. - Luke 12:31, 34 SACRED HEART CHURCH OFFICE 542-3423 17 N WALNUT ST- DU QUOIN, IL 62832 876050 Royal Treatment St. James is exaggerating a little when he describes how people might greet visitors or new members in the church. Hopefully, no one was that obvious at treating wealthy members better than poor ones. Sadly, prejudice is a sin that is just as prevalent today as it was 2000 years ago. Today we have laws for business and government to prevent prejudice. But the subtler forms of judging people by their race, clothing, speech, religion, etc. sometimes hide behind patriotism, faith, or the desire to protect our families. So how can we stop it? One reason for prejudice is ignorance. Some people will believe anything they hear or read, especially if they see it on the internet. When you get an e-mail that says "true Americans" are white, English-speaking Chris- tians, there is probably some prejudice behind it. The only way to fight ignorance is with the truth. Jesus himself said the truth will set you free. (Jn 8:32) He ignored the laws/traditions that said you cannot associate with unclean people, Gentiles, or sinners.

  • Liturgical Calendar 2007 for the Dioceses of the United States of America
    LITURGICAL CALENDAR 2007 FOR THE DIOCESES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Committee on the Liturgy United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 © 2006 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 2 3 Introduction Each year the Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops publishes the Liturgical Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America. This calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by Pope John Paul II, and the Particular Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 2002, reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are recalled in the Mass in such a way that they are in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this calendar be for the Church in all the dioceses of the United States of America “ the high point of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2 Monsignor James P. Moroney Executive Director USCCB Secretariat for the Liturgy 1 For the significance of the several grades or kinds of celebrations, the norms of the Roman Calendar should be consulted (cf.

  • Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS
    Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS . Canon Law . Episcopal Directives . Diocesan Statutes and Norms •Diocesan statutes actually carry more legal weight than policy directives from . the Episcopal Conference . Parochial Norms and Rules CANON LAW . Applies to the worldwide Catholic church . Promulgated by the Holy See . Most recent major revision: 1983 . Large body of supporting information EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE NORMS . Norms are promulgated by Episcopal Conference and apply only in the Episcopal Conference area (the U.S.) . The Holy See reviews the norms to assure that they are not in conflict with Catholic doctrine and universal legislation . These norms may be a clarification or refinement of Canon law, but may not supercede Canon law . Diocesan Bishops have to follow norms only if they are considered “binding decrees” • Norms become binding when two-thirds of the Episcopal Conference vote for them and the norms are reviewed positively by the Holy See . Each Diocesan Bishop implements the norms in his own diocese; however, there is DIOCESAN STATUTES AND NORMS . Apply within the Diocese only . Promulgated and modified by the Bishop . Typically a further specification of Canon Law . May be different from one diocese to another PAROCHIAL NORMS AND RULES . Apply in the Parish . Issued by the Pastor . Pastoral Parish Council may be consulted, but approval is not required Note: On the parish level there is no ecclesiastical legislative authority (a Pastor cannot make church law) EXAMPLE: CANON LAW 522 . Canon Law 522 states that to promote stability, Pastors are to be appointed for an indefinite period of time unless the Episcopal Council decrees that the Bishop may appoint a pastor for a specified time .

  • Liturgical Notes for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter
    DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE –SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF WORSHIP March 2019 LITURGICAL NOTES Upcoming Dates • Easter Vigil Start Time: On Saturday, April 20, 2019, the end of civil twilight is at 8:55 PM EDT on the Fort Wayne side, and 9:00 PM EDT on the South Bend side. Therefore, around 9:00 PM would be the earliest possible time to begin the Vigil throughout the diocese. Since the USCCB encourages waiting an extra 15-30 minutes (because total darkness occurs after civil twilight ends), 9:15 PM or later would really be the most appropriate start time. The Roman Missal states that the Vigil must begin in true darkness, “after nightfall.” Liturgical Updates and Reminders ♦ May 29 - Optional Memorial of Saint Paul VI: Pope Francis recently approved the inscription of Saint Paul VI, Pope, into the General Roman Calendar on May 29. Complete details can be found here - http://www.usccb.org/paulvi . A reminder regarding this and other recent liturgical calendar additions will be sent out during Easter. ♦ Confirmation Prayer: This is a reminder of the new translation of the Order of Confirmation that took effect in 2016. Since the RCIA ritual book will not be updated for several years, the USCCB has affirmed that continuing to use the Confirmation prayer wording found there for catechumens and candidates for full communion (and also in Pastoral Care of the Sick for emergency Confirmations) remains valid and licit until it is republished with the new wording. That said, it would be permissible and even laudable to incorporate the new translation of the prayer at the laying on of hands.

Kathy Schiffer Every year, 19 days after Pentecost, the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But where did that tradition originate? Devotion to the wounded heart of Jesus has its origins in the eleventh century, when pious Christians meditated on the Five Wounds of Christ. There grew up among the faithful prayers to the Sacred Heart, prayers to the Shoulder Wound of Christ—private devotions which helped Christians to focus on the passion and death of Christ, and thus to grow in love for our Savior who had suffered and died for us. It was not until 1670, however, that a French priest, Fr. Jean Eudes, celebrated the first Feast of the Sacred Heart. Around the same time, a pious sister by the name of Margaret Mary Alacoque began to report visions of Jesus. He appeared to her frequently, and in December 1673, he permitted Margaret Mary—as had once allowed St. Gertrude—to rest her head upon his Heart. As she experienced the comfort of his presence, Jesus told her of his great love and explained that he had chosen her to make his love and his goodness known to all. The following year, in June or July of 1674, Margaret Mary reported that Jesus wanted to be honored under the figure of His Heart of flesh. He asked the faithful to receive Him in the Eucharist frequently, especially on the First Friday of the month, and to observe a Holy Hour of devotion to Him.
