Reflections of the Week The Solemnity of Mary, We Are Family the Mother of God On the feast of the Holy Family, it is tempting to compare our own families to the family of Jesus, Mary, January 1, 2019 and Joseph. If your parish used the year A readings that This is not a were traditionally used for this feast, the second in 2019.

Pascal has requested, and been granted, lot farther. permission to also have a Latin Tridentine Mass at 12:00 noon. Luke's narrative of the twelve year old Jesus in the temple is not a warning for parents to watch their children closely while travelling. The story looks First Friday 12-Hour Adoration forward to the time Jesus would be "lost" in the tomb “Wise Men Still Seek Him” after his crucifixion. Just as his parents found him on This Christmas Season, journey with the Magi to the third day, so Jesus would rise from the dead on the adore Our Lord and thank Him for coming to earth to third day. And Jesus' remark, “I be in my Father's redeem you. Why not visit Our Lord in the Blessed house” (Lk 2:49) gives us a hint at who is Sacrament? St. Mary’s is blessed to have 12- Jesus' family. A B S this First Luke was well aware that the Temple was Friday, January 4th, beginning after the 8am Mass, and considered God's dwelling place. So to call it his continuing until a rosary and Benediction ensues at Father's house showed that Jesus was the Son of God. 9pm. Keep that in mind as you look at the second reading Thank you to all who have committed themselves to from the First Letter of John: “we may be called First Friday of the Blessed Sacrament. Without your children of God” (1 Jn 3:1). Like Jesus, we call God commitment, this program would not be possible. our Father, and like Jesus, we are part of a larger family than the one we live with.

Parish Faith Formation T C C’ S

The hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church goes back to the First Century. By 100 AD, the offices took a familiar form—the is the central authority as Peter’s successor, then individual regions are administered by bishops (successors to the apostles), then come (Presbyters), then . Here is a more in -depth breakdown of the various roles in the church’s hierarchy (CCLB - Volume Six - The Catholic Church Page 16).

T P: Leader of the universal Catholic Church and the Bishop of Rome. His primacy (over every believer) comes from his authority as successor to Peter (commissioned by Jesus Himself). The pope has the power to definitely resolve all juridical disputes within the Church and to define teachings infallibly—by his own authority or in concert with ecumenical councils of bishops. C: Generally an ordained archbishop (though not a requirement). Cardinals have the authority to elect the Pope when the See is vacant. Cardinals also have administrative offices in the Roman Curia, and counsel the Pope when requested. R C: An administrative body through which the Pope conducts the affairs of the universal Catholic Church. Basically an organizing headquarters to serve the needs of the particular churches around the world. A: A bishop with authority over a large diocese (an “archdiocese”), and frequently over a metropolitan region (a “See”). B: A consecrated and ordained member of the Catholic clergy who enjoys going back to the twelve apostles of Jesus. Bishops are given authority over a regional See (including “ Magisterium” teaching responsibilities). They also have the power to ordain clergy— including other bishops. When they gather as an ecumenical council in concert with the Pope, they can collectively define doctrines infallibly. P: One who stands in the place of Christ, a celebrates the holy sacrifice of the mass and confers other sacraments. Priests are authorized to preach, teach, and confer the sacraments wherever permission is granted by the local bishop. Diocesan priests have authority over a specific parish community. D: Authorized to render service within a parish by preaching, teaching, baptizing, and witnessing marriages. They also help the pastor with other services. Permanent deacons may be married (if marriage occurs before their ordination to the diaconate). December 30, 2018
