  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • From Experience to Testimony Thematic Guidelines for Study and Discussion
    THE SYRO-MALANKARA CATHOLIC CHURCH THE FIRST MALANKARA CATHOLIC CHURCH ASSEMBLY TRIVANDRUM, 21-23 SEPTEMBER, 2011 FROM EXPERIENCE TO TESTIMONY THEMATIC GUIDELINES FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION Dr. Abraham Mar Julios (Chairman, Core-committee) FOREWORD The Holy Episcopal Synod of the Syro-Malankara Church, had entrusted me with the task of preparing the Lineamenta or Guidelines for the First Malankara Church Assembly, to be held in September 2011. Evangelization was selected as Theme of the Assembly. A half-day consultation was done at Shantinilayam, Tiruvalla with a small Group of four people, consisting of Msgr. Antony Kackanatt, Sister Dr. Namita SIC, Mr. Jomi Thomas and me. The first draft of the Lineamenta was presented in Malayalam before the Episcopal Synod, in December 2010, and the Synod Fathers suggested, I should provide an English version as basic text, which could be translated also into Tamil, Kannada and Hindi. The Draft had to be reworked for theological correctness and systematic presentation. The Key Bible verse we have selected is Isaiah 6:8 “Lord, here I am! Send me”! The Leitmotiv is “From Experience to Testimony”. The Theme of the Assembly has to be discussed and prayed over by all the sections of the Malankara Church. The message has to be imbibed by the whole people of God and should percolate through the cross sections of the Church. The Eparchial Assemblies and the Church Assembly should motivate us to rededicate ourselves to the great cause of Announcing the Good News all over the world and winning souls for the Kingdom of God, and contributing to the growth of the Church.

  • The History of St. Thomas the Apostle the First Fifty Years
    The History of St. Thomas the Apostle The First Fifty Years The following is from a small book commemorating the 50th Anniversary of St. Thomas the Apostle. THE YEAR was 1902, the month was July, the day was the 9th. This date will never be forgotten as it was on this day that His Excellency, the Most Reverend John J. Monaghan, Bishop of the Diocese of Wilmington, had purchased the property, near Fourth Street and Grant Avenue, as the site for a new Catholic Church and initiated the erection thereon of a combined church and school to be named in honor of the patron saint of the first Bishop of Wilmington, Most Reverend Thomas A. Becker. The cornerstone was laid on May 24, 1903, by Bishop Monaghan, assisted by Vicar-General John A. Lyons and a large group of priests. The ceremonies began with a processional from the home of the Little Sisters of the Poor to a large wooden cross on the Church site where it was determined that the altar would be erected. After blessing this particular spot, the Bishop then consecrated and laid the cornerstone. Following this he blessed the foundation and then bestowed the Papal Blessing on all those present at the ceremony. The sermon was delivered by the Reverend Francis T. McCarthy, TOP – Original Church and School, now the old gym. S.J., while the musical program was under the direction of Professor BOTTOM – The brand new rectory in 1911. James Curran. On June 30, 1903, the Reverend John J. Connelly, then Chancellor of the Diocese and Assistant Pastor of Saint Paul's Church, was appointed as first Pastor of Saint Thomas.
