Let’s review some terms. “Lector” is a strange word. “The lector reads the lectio from the lectern.” Say what? Lector comes from the Latin word meaning reader . “Lectio” also comes from the Latin and means the lesson or reading. “ Lectern” is from the Latin – meaning , a tall stand with a sloping top to hold a book or notes, and from which someone, typically a preacher or lecturer, can read while standing up. Just to complicate things, the early church used Readings for August 6: the word ambo which means an elevated pulpit with a flight The Transfiguration of stairs, from which the Epistles and Gospels were read and sermons preached. Strictly speaking at St. Brigid of Kildare of the Lord # 1220 we have a lectern. ST. BRIGID OF KILDARE CHURCH DUBLIN, OHIO AUGUST 6, 2017

Bishop Barron Mini -Courses
Often people want to do a Bishop Barron course but their schedule or health does not allow it. They can’t come to the parish sessions and prefer to do it at home when it is more convenient for them. We are setting up a pilot group that we hope will resolve the issue.
In order to participate in the Bishop Barron Mini -Course pilot group, all you need is an email account and access to a computer that uses Google Chrome. Flocknote (an email and text messaging tool created for churches, ministries, teams and other community organizations) teamed up with Bishop Barron to offer five free video mini -courses. These free video mini -courses come to you through email and contain a short video followed by a few thought -provoking ques- tions. Topics include Who is God and how do we know? Who is Jesus and why is he different? What did Jesus really teach? Why the Church matters; and How to pray and why it matters. You will receive these videos by e - mail each week. If you want to add a comment to others participating in the course, you will be able to do that, too. If you would like to be part of this e -mail group, please send you name and e -mail to Sister Teresa at [email protected]. Space for the pilot group is limited to 38 people. The course will begin August 21 so you need to be registered by then. This mini- course will last for five weeks. - Sr. Teresa Tuite, OP
Becoming Heart Sisters is a small group process focusing on the topic of friendship. It combines, small group sharing, private study, video presenta- tion. The program begins on September 13th and meets for seven consecutive weeks from 7:00 – 8:30 PM in Immke Room of Hendricks Hall.
Some questions that have been raised: • Do I have to be a parishioner of SBK? No, we would welcome anyone who comes. • My best friend is not a catholic can I bring her ? Yes, we would welcome her. • I have to miss three of the six sessions can I still come? I would say that knowing ahead of time that you would miss so many sessions, that this might not be the program for you, at this time. There are always emergencies that come up that would cause someone to miss and that is fine. However, knowing before you start how many you would miss is different. • I have never done anything like this before does that matter? No, we all have to begin somewhere. • How much does it cost? $30 (which includes the book)
