A Letter from Father Humphrey The Evangelist April 14, 2019 We are ready for you at St. John's! Sunday: Low Mass at 8 a.m. & High Mass at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday: Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m. & Evening Prayer at 5:30 p.m. Feast Days & Special Services as announced. Confessions by appointment. A Letter from Father Humphrey Dear People, Neighbors and Friends of St. John's, This coming week is about one thing and one thing only: the undoing of death. We will begin with a requiem on Saturday for a beloved parishioner, which is appropriate, because in the Orthodox Church the day before Palm Sunday is known as "Lazarus Saturday," in reference to the great miracle that Jesus performed, a miracle that so astounded the authorities that they instinctively reacted by plotting Jesus' own death. Why would the powers and principalities wish to kill someone who had the power over death? Perhaps it is because death is one of the few things that keeps the status quo the status quo. In other words, earthly power relies on death to keep people in line. If you're not afraid to die, you are a dangerous person. And Jesus wasn't just someone who faced death with bravado. He faced it with real power. We are invited to encounter that power anew by walking the way of the cross this Holy Week, that we "may find it to be none other than the way of life and peace," as the Morning Prayer collect for Fridays puts it. We are promised that if we walk with Jesus, we will share in his power over death itself, as death's power is undone once for all by Jesus himself. This week, I invite you to participate in the Lord's undoing of death. Yours in Christ's Service, N.J.A. Humphrey+ XIV Rector Imagine and Invite You have the opportunity of a lifetime, and it's right around the corner. You have the power to change lives and to strengthen our community of faith with just one phone call, an email, or the offer of a ride to church. If you are planning on being with us for all or any part of Holy Week (Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday), take a couple of minutes now to think of people whom you can be in touch with to invite to these transformational liturgies. And write their names down so you don't forget! Ask yourself: Who have I not seen in church recently whom I could touch base with and ask if I will see them at Easter or in Holy Week? Is there anyone who doesn't drive after dark to whom I could offer a ride to one of the evening services on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday? Am I able to give a lift to anyone on Sunday morning, especially to the combined 10 o'clock High Mass on Easter Sunday? Who would love the joyful experience of Easter at St. John's? Who needs to be here but isn't? Who is coping with any burden or grief or depression, and could use the support of a loving community? Who can I introduce to Jesus through St. John's? If you are planning on being with us, and can think of just one name, you could change that person's life forever. Better yet, if you can invite people and not stop inviting until you know that at least one person or couple or family will give St. John's a try this Holy Week and Easter, you will be doing them and us a great service. The number one way to build community and spread the Gospel is by personal invitation. "Come and see." So this is my homework assignment to each and every one of you, even those who live far from St. John's but might be able to invite someone to your local church on Easter: imagine and invite. Imagine what St. John's could become if you did this! There is no end to our potential for making disciples and growing as a community of faith, hope, and love, but it doesn't happen automatically. Imagine what impact you could have on someone's life, on a family or on a couple, by including them in Holy Week hope and Easter joy. Imagine and invite. On a final note, I am very grateful to Canon Haselock for his presence and ministry among us. His great learning and good humor were very much on display in his presentations on the liturgies of Holy Week on Wednesdays in Lent. He has very much inspired me to encourage you to enter deeply into the mysteries of our faith as we journey toward the empty tomb. Imagine and invite those who can be your companions in this journey together. Yours in Christ's Service, N.J.A. Humphrey+ XIV Rector Saturday: Requiem for Ron Turgeon A Solemn Mass of Requiem will be held tomorrow on Saturday, April 13, at 11 a.m. for Ronald Turgeon. All are invited to a collation following at Sardella's Restaurant, 30 Memorial Boulevard West, Newport. Ron was a longtime member of St. John's, an indefatigable cheerleader for anything a n d everything that had to do with St. John's -- but especially if it meant he could wear his cassock and lace cotta whilst leading the cheers! And for Ron, dressing up wasn't limited to liturgy. Back in 2014, Ron convinced Fr. Humphrey to march in the parade marking the 375th anniversary of the founding o f Newport. As Father Humphrey says, "He had me vest in cassock, cotta, stole, our (heavy) green Watts cope, and a Canterbury cap, while he marched in front of me vested and bearing aloft the St. John's banner. It was a lovely June day, but wearing all those layers outdoors in the sun for a couple of hours wasn't exactly my idea of Serious Fun™. But it was Ron's! He had a blast, and would have trooped our colors in a parade or procession every day if he'd had his way. A photograph from that day expresses his delight and pride in St. John's in a way I could never convey. Ron never tired of telling me and others that the first time he laid eyes on St. John's was when the Corpus Christi procession was leaving the church to circle the block. From that moment on he was in love with this place, and that love was evident right down to my last visit with him only a few weeks before he died." The Ronald Turgeon Memorial Fund has been established to receive donations for the restoration of the church, with the aim of dedicating some aspect of our ongoing preservation work in his memory. Please write "Turgeon Memorial" in the memo line of your check. Your contributions towards honoring their memories and securing his legacy of love to the greater glory of God and in the furtherance of our mission have been and will continue to be gratefully received. This Week: Holy Week Palm Sunday: April 14 Low Mass at 8 a.m. Procession & Solemn High Mass at 9:45 a.m. All are invited to join the triumphant procession along Washington Street to the historic 1894 Zabriskie Memorial Church of St. John the Evangelist, with hymns led by a trumpeter. The service will be sung by the Professional Choristers of The Choir School of Newport County and the St. John's adult choir. Free parking is available on the street in the neighborhood, as well as in the garage at the Newport Visitors Center, 23 America's Cup Avenue, Newport, RI 02840, conveniently located near Storer Park and a short walk to St. John's. In case of inclement weather, the service will begin in the church at 10:00 a.m. ___________________________________________________________ The Triduum Sacrum Easter Day is preceded by the three most powerful days of the Christian Year, when we celebrate with special solemnity Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection. These three services are known collectively as the Triduum Sacrum, the "Three Holy Days," and are crowned by the celebration of Easter Day. The Triduum Sacrum is one liturgy celebrated over three holy days, which is why no dismissal is given from the beginning of the Maundy Thursday rites until the end of the first Mass of the Resurrection at the Vigil. Those who commit to observing Holy Week in its totality will find it to be a truly transformative experience. Please plan on being with us for the following services. ___________________________________________________________ Maundy Thursday, April 18: Solemn Mass at 6:30 p.m.; followed by Vigil before the Altar of Repose Solemn Mass at 6:30 p.m. with the Adult Choir and Professional Choristers; The Maundy Thursday/Good Friday Vigil before the Altar of Repose in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament begins Thursday at 8:00 p.m. and continues until 6:30 p.m. on Good Friday. Please sign up on the sheet in the back of the church to take a watch. ___________________________________________________________ Good Friday, April 19: Stations of the Cross at noon Solemn Liturgy at 6:30 p.m. with the Adult Choir. Featuring two excerpts from Bach's St. Matthew Passion. A choral setting incorporating a cello in the style of Bach's unaccompanied suites for the instrument will precede the singing of Bach's Passion Chorale. Bach's own striking harmonization of the final stanza wrenches from the participant the question: Were you there? A violinist and cellist enhance this music.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • ST MARY's CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass
    ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass Eighteenth Sunday of the Year 2 August 2020 10.30am WELCOME to St Mary’s Cathedral which stands in the centre of Sydney as a Christian statement of grace and beauty. Generations of artists have bequeathed to it their magnificent gifts in stone and glass, designing a unique space of solace and prayer within this vibrant city. This Cathedral represents the spiritual origins of the Catholic Church in Australia. It is one of Sydney’s most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest examples of English-style gothic churches in the world. William Wilkinson Wardell, the 19th century architect, dreamed of a gothic structure shaped from the local yellow-block sandstone on which this city is built. The building was finally completed 100 years after the architect’s death. The Cathedral is dedicated to Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians. THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR St Mary’s Cathedral Choir is the oldest musical institution in Australia. In 1818 a group of choristers was formed to sing Vespers before the Blessed Sacrament in the Dempsey household, the centre of Catholic worship in the penal colony. After the establishment of St Mary’s Cathedral in 1833 the successors of these choristers formed the permanent Cathedral Choir. In faithfulness to the Benedictine English tradition from which the Cathedral’s founders came, the Choir is formed of men and boys, preserving the historical character of Catholic liturgical and musical heritage. St Mary’s is the only Catholic Cathedral in Australia to have an on-site Choir School where the twenty-four boy choristers are educated.

    LITURGICAL MUSIC 2019 – 2020 Musical Offerings for the Sunday 11:15 A.M. Solemn Masses & Other Special Liturgies during the Program Year ———————————————————————— The Holy Trinity Schola Cantorum Dr. Andrew H. Yeargin, Director of Music & Organist HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH CATHOLIC TRINITY HOLY HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH 213 West 82nd Street, New York, NY 10024 | (212) 787-0634 September 14, 2019 The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Dear Friends, Welcome to a new season of ecclesiastical music at the Church of the Holy Trinity. We are pleased to share with you this music brochure outlining our week-to-week selections of liturgical music for the 2019–2020 season. In addition to the highly diverse offerings in repertoire each Sunday, we are especially excited to present a concert performance of Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem with orchestra in March 2020. We hope you can join us regularly throughout the season for an enriching year of inspiring and evocative sacred music. OUR PHILOSOPHY ABOUT SACRED MUSIC: Music is an integral part of the worship experience, and is part of what binds together the many aspects of liturgy…the “mortar between the bricks,” so to speak. At times, the congregation is invited to sing hymns or refrains, adding their voices to countless others in a unified act of prayer and celebration. At other times, the choir or cantor may sing alone— offering prayers on behalf of the entire assembly—while the congregation reflects silently. In either instance—joining in song or prayerfully listening to others—the assembled congregation is actively participating in the litury.

  • Vatican Releases Pope Francis' Schedule for Holy Week Catholic.Net
    Vatican releases Pope Francis' schedule for Holy Week Catholic.net Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Holy Week 2018 begins on Palm Sunday, March 25th, with the celebration of the thirty- third World Youth Day, celebrated at the diocesan level. The Church’s yearly celebration of young people alternates between international celebrations, held every two-three years, and diocesan events. This year’s World Youth Day has the theme, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God.” Those are the words of the Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin at the Annunciation, as related in the Gospel of St Luke. For the diocese of Rome, the celebration will take place in St Peter’s Square, with Pope Francis presiding at the Blessing of Palms and the Procession for Palm Sunday, followed by the Mass of the Passion of the Lord. Holy (Maundy) Thursday There are two main liturgical events on Holy Thursday: the Chrism Mass, celebrated in St Peter’s Basilica; and the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which the Holy Father will offer in the Regina Coeli prison, not far from the Vatican. During the Chrism Mass, the local Bishop consecrates and blesses the Sacred Oils – Chrism, used for Confirmation, and also in the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Orders; the oil of catechumens, also used in Baptism; and the oil of the sick, for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. In Rome, the blessed oils are taken to the Cathedral Church, the Archbasilica of St John Lateran, where they are dispensed to the parishes throughout the diocese.

  • Good Friday High Mass
    SOLEMN AFTERNOON LITURGY OF GOOD FRIDAY An adapted version of the Solemn form without deacon or subdeacon With customs practiced by the Society of St. Pius X1 FOREWORD The Solemn Liturgy of Good Friday adheres in many ways to the ancient form of the Roman Mass and hence many contrasts to older practices are witnessed throughout. The rite’s order imitates an Ember Day Mass, but without an Offertory, Canon or Consecration (a remnant of the former Mass of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts). There is also: • the veneration of the cross (derived from a similar ceremony practiced with the True Cross in Jerusalem), • the gradual preparation (addition of the altar cloth—once performed during Mass, placement of the candles and cross—once carried by the crossbearer and acolytes in procession and then placed near or upon the altar), • the denuding (denudatur) of the altar (once performed after every Mass; also seen on Holy Thursday), • and double translation of the Blessed Sacrament (recalling an older method of distributing Communion after Mass, and in cathedrals, of retrieving the Hosts from a special chapel of reservation; also seen on Holy Thursday). The order of this unique rite will be recognizable for those familiar with the Eastern Rites’ Divine Liturgies. The ceremonies are also characteristically Roman, particularly in the starkness of the decorations employed, which are kept to a bare minimum. ABOUT THESE NOTES The Solemn form of the Holy Week ceremonies is the ideal method, but this is not always practical in a typical parish situation that lacks the requisite number of ordained ministers for the various positions.2 This fact was recognized and dealt with during the Holy Week reform, thus several options exist for rendering the ceremonies as solemn as possible according to the situation, either per the Solemn, Semi-Solemn or Small Churches form.

Thou Spirit Divine! BWV 671 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Kyrie! Thou Spirit Divine! Oh grant us thy power evermore, that we when life is o’er with joy uprising may leave our sorrows. Eleison! God’s time is the best time, BWV 106 Johann Sebastian Bach At the sound of the bell, the People stand. The Sacred Ministers precede the body into the Church. Introit I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself and mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For if we live, we live unto the Lord; and if we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors.
