    The Goodnewsletter A Newsletter for Members of St. Ann, St. Vincent de Paul & St. Patrick Parishes Stannlenox.org/[email protected] 134 Main St., Lenox, MA 01240 (413) 637-0157 Volume 4 - Issue 2 September 2016 A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR . On June 20th, our first parish meeting was held in the Family Center. There were some 55 people in attendance. To prepare for the parish meeting a survey was posted on the parish website and available for parishioners to answer. Some submitted an available paper survey. The results are posted on the parish web site and will remain available for anyone to consult throughout the year. Some 58 persons answered the survey. The results ran to some 50+ pages. A synthesis of the material will be posted on the website soon. However, I urge everyone to read the survey responses. All of the responses were well thought out and cogently expressed. There seems to be a remark- able consensus on many mattes and a thoughtful disagreement on others. At the parish meeting, fortunately, it turns out; I was not able to present a synthesis of the survey because I could not hook up my laptop to the projector. As a happy consequence the conversation among the participants begins right away, based upon what they wanted to express and not as a response to my presentation. The conversation was spirited and fruitful. Participants focused on three overriding issues: faith formation, stabilizing our financial situation, and outreach in general but particularly to youth and young adults. A variety of views were expressed and differences were very respectfully express and received.

  • How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?
    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

  • Faith Formation Resource to Welcome Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin As the Sixth Archbishop of Newark
    1 Faith Formation Resource to Welcome Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin as the Sixth Archbishop of Newark This catechetical tool is available for use throughout the Archdiocese of Newark to provide resources for catechists to seize this teachable and historical moment. The objectives are listed by grade level and were taken from the Catechetical Curriculum Guidelines for the Archdiocese of Newark. Let us keep our new Archbishop in prayer. Kindergarten Focus - Many Signs of God’s Love Scripture – Genesis 1:31 – God looked at everything He had made, and found it very good. Objective: To help children grow in their understanding of the People of God as God’s family and as a sign of God’s love. Some ideas: o Share pictures of your parish pastor, Cardinal Tobin, and Pope Francis; Explain that they each serve God and our Catholic family in a special way, and Cardinal Tobin is now serving God in a special way as our new Archbishop. o Point out the Scarlet red color as a sign of being a Cardinal o Use the Cardinal and Pope Craft for Catholic Kids activity o Pray for Cardinal Tobin and the Archdiocese of Newark. For discussion: o Does God love us very much? (Yes) o How much does God love us? (Spread your arms wide to show how big God’s love is) o Because God loves us, He sends us good people to lead us in our Church, like Cardinal Tobin, our new Archbishop. o Let’s pray for Cardinal Tobin, and give thanks to God for His love.

  • Symbols of the Bishop
    SYMBOLS OF THE BISHOP THE BISHOP'S CHAIR The cathedral houses the bishop's throne, or cathedra, (which is the Latin word for "seat" or "chair"). In the ancient world, the chair was not only the symbol of a teacher but also of a magistrate. Thus, the cathedra symbolizes the bishop’s role as teacher and as the governing authority of the diocese. CROSIER The crosier is a pastoral staff that is conferred on bishops (and abbots). The top of the staff is curved to remind the bishop of the shepherd’s crook and of his pastoral care of the people entrusted to him. It symbolizes the bishop’s duty to keep watch over his whole flock, sustaining the weak and wavering, solidifying the faith, and leading those gone astray back into the true fold. ZUCCHETTO The zucchetto is a skullcap worn as part of the liturgical and choir dress of the pope, cardinals, bishops, abbots and priests. During the 13th century, it was developed to cover the tonsure (portion of hair that is shaved when a man entered into the clerical state.) The pope wears a white zucchetto; cardinals, a red zucchetto; and bishops, a purple zucchetto. Black is reserved for all others. PECTORAL CROSS The pectoral cross is worn by the pope, cardinals, bishops and abbots. Tradition holds that reliquaries of the True Cross were worn over the heart; hence, the modern day custom of it being worn over the breast (pectus). The pectoral cross reflects the dignity of the office of bishop or abbot. The cross is either worn suspended from a ceremonial cord at liturgical services or on a chain with his clerical suit.
