Directly opposite facing the congregation is the wall with the new painting of the Apostles. The journey of faith we all make begins with the teaching of the Apostles, leads us through Baptism, toward altar and the Apostles guiding us by pulpit and altar to Christ himself pictured so clearly on the three-fold front of the Tabernacle. The lively multi-experiences of all those on the journey are reflected in the multi-colors of the pillars. W e are all connected by Christ with whom we journey, He the vine, we the branches, uniting us in faith, hope, and love connected to the Apostles and one another. O ur newly redone interior, rededicated on June 16, 2013, was the result of a collaboration between our many parishioners, the Intelligent Design Group (architect), the artistic designs of New Guild Studios, and the management and supervision of many craftsmen and technicians by Landau Building Company. I n March 2014, the Landau Building Company, in a category with four other projects, won a first place award from the Master Builders Association in the area of “Excellence in Craftsmanship by a General Contractor” for their work on the renovations at St. Ursula.

All of the Churches recall her memory under this title in their daily Eucharistic prayers, and especially in the annual celebration of Christmas. The Virgin Mary was already venerated as Mother of God when, in 431, the Council of Ephesus acclaimed her Theotokos (God-bearer). As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father and the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved.

Hildegard was brought by her parents to God as a "tithe" and determined for life in the Order. How­ ever, "rather than choosing to enter their daughter formally as a child in a convent where she would be brought up to become a nun (a practice known as 'oblation'), Hildegard's parents had taken the more radical step of enclosing their daughter, apparently for life, in the cell of an anchoress, Jutta, attached to the Benedictine monastery at Disibodenberg" (Flanagan, 1989, p.

  • An Agnus Dei Trope in the Context of Eucharistic Devotion in Thirteenth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture AN AGNUS DEI TROPE IN THE CONTEXT OF EUCHARISTIC DEVOTION IN THIRTEENTH-CENTURY COLOGNE A Thesis in Musicology by Alanna V. Ropchock © 2009 Alanna V. Ropchock Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2009 The thesis of Alanna V. Ropchock was reviewed and approved* by the following: Marica S. Tacconi Associate Professor of Musicology Thesis Advisor Charles D. Youmans Associate Professor of Musicology Sue Haug Professor of Music Head of Department School of Music * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In the later Middle Ages, many new practices and traditions began as a result of the increasing reverence for the Eucharist, which was declared by the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 to be the true presence of Christ’s Body under the substance of the bread, or Host. The feast of Corpus Christi was probably the most significant tradition to come from medieval Eucharistic devotion. By the middle of the fourteenth century, it was celebrated as a major feast throughout the western Christian world, and it was especially popular in Cologne. The prevalence of Eucharistic devotion in Cologne undoubtedly had an impact on the city’s liturgical music, particularly on the music for Eucharistic rituals. Among a body of service books from the church of Saint Kunibert that has received little scholarly attention, there is a cantatorium that contains an Agnus Dei trope. Initial research of the trope indicated that the text is unusual, despite the melody being a variant of a common Agnus Dei melody.

  • Daily Saints - 21 October
    Daily Saints - 21 October Feast of St. Ursula and the Virgins of Cologne, Martyrs, and Virgins Saint Ursula is the patroness of Catholic education (especially of girls), educators, holy death, schoolchildren, students, and teachers. Saint Ursula (Latin for 'little female bear') is a legendary Romano-British Christian saint, died on October 21, 383. Her feast day in the pre-1970 General Roman Calendar is October 21. There is little definite information about her and the anonymous group of holy virgins who accompanied her and on some uncertain date were killed at Cologne. They remain in the Roman Martyrology, although their commemoration does not appear in the simplified Calendarium Romanum Generale (General Roman Calendar) of the 1970 Missal Romanum. The earliest evidence of a cult of martyred virgins at Cologne is an inscription from c. 400 in the Church of St. Ursula, located on Ursula Platz in Cologne which states that the ancient basilica had been restored on the site where some holy virgins were killed. The earliest source to name one of these virgins Ursula is from the 10th century. In the fourth century, the pagan Saxons began to invade England, intent on destroying the Catholic Faith and violating the purity of all young English virgins. It was in the midst of this that a group of remarkable English girls fled from England to the Continent. This group included Saint Ursula and ten of her friends, each having a thousand companions, making their number 11,011 in all. She was a princess, the daughter of a Christian British king, and Saint Daria.

  • Preparing for the Journey
    PREPARING FOR THE JOURNEY ANNUAL REPORT 2017– 2018 “ Cheerfulness prepares a glorious mind for all the noblest acts.” — Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton JANUARY 2019 Office of the Cardinal MONTH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS 1011 First Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Friends in the Lord, The faculty, staff, priests, parents, and students of our Catholic schools continue to make us proud. This year, test scores once again outpaced those of secular institutions, including many charter schools. While the mission of secular educators is to prepare young people for life — and we pray always for their success — our purpose runs deeper, as we seek to prepare students both for the here‑and‑now as well as eternity. It is that additional commitment of faith foundation, to a culture of learning, that has created such a strong legacy within our schools for more than 200 years, since the days of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. Academic excellence is only a part of our mission. Our aim as Catholic educators is to provide children with the skills necessary to succeed in this 21st century economy and to imbue in them the salvational knowledge of Christ and His plan for each of us. Worldly success sure has its place, and our students will earn it, but both body and soul must be exercised to achieve happiness in this life and, ultimately, eternal deliverance. Saint Aloysius Gonzaga reminds us of this: “It is better to be a child of God,” he says, “than king of the whole world.” This we believe. It is gratifying, then, to report that our Catholic school system continues to succeed in its sacred mission, even as we adjust to the challenges of an increasingly complex world.
