From Father Tom ! ! ! Welcome! All visitors to our parish this weekend! ! ! Remembering Palm Sunday long ago ! ! As a kid, I looked forward to Palm Sunday every year. Besides being excited about getting palms at church (which we thought was pretty cool back then), a florist in Schenectady near our house offered free chicks to families on that day. Of course, my parents wanted nothing to do with chicks since we lived in the city and had only a small backyard. Besides, I don’t think they knew what to do with a chicken or how to raise one. However, after awhile my sister and I wore them down and, one year, we brought a chick home to cries of joy! We put it in a cardboard box outside the back door, fed it once or twice, then left it there for my parents to care for M a job they didn’t seem to want. One day, when we came home from school and went out to play with it, it was gone. When we asked my parents where it went, they simply said that “it went to a good home”. (I hope it didn’t go into someone’s cooking pot!) Needless to say: the mystery has never been solved and my parents never talked about it again. Palm Sunday was one of those days when there used to be a lot of customs from Europe observed by Catholic immigrant families in our country. Italians had the custom of bringing palms to relatives as a sign of respect and to put palms on the graves of loved ones. Big family dinners also marked the day. I used to enjoy seeing the complex and innovative crosses made by people from simple reeds of palm. Sad to say, today, many of these customs have gone by the wayside M lost touch- es of living Catholic faith that reached into the homes and hearts of believers. We are all less because these have been rele- gated to the past. All these customs, including palms, focused attention on the importance of the day and the week about to begin. They were outward symbols of a profound reality . From them, we got the sense that something unusual was about to happen, a different kind of week ahead with an unrepeatable and profound meaning. These sacramentals and customs also hinted at the Easter season which was about to begin. Easter was drawing near. They were springtime reminders that Catholics were about to enter a time of joy, hope, resurrection and renewal. This weekend, we begin Holy Week 2019. Even though we may not observe the old customs, we are reminded today that Holy Week is upon us and the Paschal Triduum is about to be celebrated. The Paschal Triduum is what Lent has been lead- ing us to. This is the pinnacle of our faith and church year. Today, on Palm Sunday, we should resolve to be part of it all the week offers to change our schedules, take out our calendars and determine to be in church this week for the great myster- ies of faith about to be celebrated. Determine to observe the entire Paschal Triduum : Holy Thursday’s “Mass of the Lord’s Supper” at 7:00 PM, Good Friday’s “Commemoratio of the Lord’s Passion and Death” at 3:00 PM and the great “Easter Vigil” at 8:00 PM this Saturday evening. See you there! ! ! Special fast this week ! ! Catholics are asked to observe the “Paschal Fast” this week beginning on Holy Thursday evening and continuing through Holy Saturday evening. This means that we should eat no treats or luxury lunches or dinners during this time. Good Friday is a day of complete abstinence and fast M no meat and no eating in between. We do this to help us interiorize the spirit of these days of remembrance of the sufferings and death of the Lord. ! Good Friday Holy Land Collection ! ! Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. Your support helps the church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools and offer religious education. It also helps to preserve the sacred shrines. The wars, unrest and instability have been especially hard on Christians. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you become an instrument of peace and join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land. Please help by giving to the Holy Land collection on Good Friday. ! For meditation this week ! ! The liturgical music for Holy Week and Easter is profoundly moving. The lyrics of the hymns, chants and anthems for this week go back to the Middle Ages and before. One of the most well known hymns is entitled “O Sacred Head, Now Wound- ed” which is based on a long medieval Latin Poem with stanzas addressing the various parts of Christ’s body hanging on the cross. The last part of the poem, from which the hymn is taken, is addressed to Christ’s head. The poem is often attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1091 1153). The lyrics can provide us with good meditation themes for the week: O sacred Head, now wounded, ! with grief and shame weighed down. ! Now scornfully surrounded ! with thorns, Thine only crown; ! O sacred Head, what glory, ! what bliss till now was Thine! ! Yet, though despised and gory, ! I joy to call Thee mine. ! ! Be thou my consolation, ! my shield when I must die. ! Remind me of Thy passion ! when my last hour draws nigh. ! Mine eyes shall then behold Thee ! upon Thy cross shall dwell, ! My heart by faith enfolds Thee ! who dieth thus dies well. ! ! ! ! Relic of St. John Vianney coming to Albany ! ! St. John Vianney, also known as the Cure of Ars, was a French parish in the early 1800's who became a great saint. In fact, the Church has named him patron of all parish priests and co patron of France. The story of his life is fascinating. He had a hard time getting into the Seminary and was thought to be intellectually unable to meet the needs of a parish priest at that time. So, his Bishop sent him to a small village called Ars where, he thought, he could do no harm. Because of his great holiness and zeal, Vianney surprised everybody by reforming an indifferent village and turning hearts back to God. Eventu- ally, his reputation for holiness spread throughout the whole of France. Little by little, pilgrims made their way to Ars thousands came to seek the saint out and go to Confession to him. (He spend most of his days hearing Confes- sions.) Humble, simple and self effacing, John Vianney poured out his life for his people and shared with them the great gift of God's mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Countless souls have been saved through his ministry. After his death, his heart was preserved in a reliquary (a custom at the time) and it has been revered by priests and people alike in his little church in Ars. Recently, permission has been given for this relic to go on tour throughout the world. We are fortunate that the relic will be on display for veneration in our own Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on April 26th from noon to 7:00 PM. Mass will also be held that day in the Cathedral at 12:15 PM and Vespers will be celebrated at 6:30 PM. Count- less priests look to St. John Vianney as a model and inspiration. So do countless millions of Catholics throughout the world. F eel free to visit the Cathedral on April 26th for this most important event. ! ! ! ! ! Upcoming !!

    DG VAL NOTIZIE APPUNTAMENTI MEDIA PUBBLICAZIONI NORMATIVA E BANDI RASSEGNA STAMPA Home > AD Arte > Ricerca > Risultati > PALAZZO CHIABLESE PALAZZO CHIABLESE La primitiva vicenda costruttiva di palazzo Chiablese è ancora poco conosciuta: i recenti lavori di restauro hanno dimostrato che la fondazione originaria dell’edificio è anteriore al XV secolo. Passato nel 1642 al cardinale Maurizio di Savoia, che lo elesse a propria residenza, esso divenne in seguito sede di uffici della Corte reale. Nel 1753 il re Carlo Emanuele III affidò all’architetto di corte Benedetto Alfieri l’incarico di riplasmare la residenza per il secondogenito Benedetto Maria Maurizio, duca del Chiablese: fu allora ridisegnata la facciata e costruito il maestoso scalone che conduce al piano nobile, ricco di arredi, stucchi, boiseries, specchiere e sovrapporte dipinte da pittori quali Francesco De Mura e Gregorio Guglielmi. Durante il periodo napoleonico il palazzo fu sede del governatore Camillo Borghese e della sua celebre moglie, Paolina Borghese. Tornato ai Savoia con la Restaurazione, divenne residenza del re Carlo Felice e poi di Ferdinando duca di Genova, secondogenito di Carlo Alberto; nel 1851 vi nacque Margherita, prima regina d’Italia. Danneggiato dai bombardamenti durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, passò in seguito al Demanio; l’edificio, oggi completamente restaurato, ospita la Direzione Regionale per i Beni Culturali e Paesaggistici del Piemonte insieme ad uffici delle Soprintendenze.

  • La Consulta Di Torino Per L'armeria Reale
    LA CONSULTA DI TORINO PER L’ARMERIA REALE La Consulta per la Valorizzazione dei Beni Artistici e Culturali di Torino ha lavorato per anni alla definizione del Polo Reale di Torino, mettendo a disposizione le conoscenze e le capacità gestionali ed organizzative del tessuto imprenditoriale delle aziende Socie. Il nuovo impianto di illuminazione della Grande Galleria, realizzato con la Fondazione CRT, ha raggiunto l’obiettivo di migliorare la percezione visiva dell’ambiente e delle collezioni esposte, coniugando la luce naturale con sorgenti varie di luce artificiale. Nel 2011 Consulta aveva restaurato la Loggetta carloalbertina, che consentiva alla famiglia reale l’affaccio diretto sulla piazza in occasione di grandi eventi: da qui Carlo Alberto pronunciò l’inizio della prima Guerra d’Indipendenza. La Consulta è nata nel 1987 con lo scopo di contribuire a valorizzare il patrimonio storico-artistico torinese. Le 31 Aziende ed Enti che oggi ne fanno parte sono intervenute su tutti i principali monumenti e musei cittadini, in stretta collaborazione con le Istituzioni e gli Enti di tutela; in ventotto anni di attività sono stati investiti circa 30 milioni di euro e realizzati 58 interventi. ******** 2015 Museo Diocesano: mostra Umberto Mastroianni tra coscienza civile e spirito del sacro; restauro ed esposizione del Compianto sul Cristo morto di Beato Angelico; Palazzina di caccia di Stupinigi, restauro Salone juvarriano 2014 Accademia Albertina, Mostra “Dipinti e disegni della Grande Officina di Gaudenzio Ferrari”; Palazzina di caccia di Stupinigi, restauro Anticappella e Cappella di Sant’Uberto; Progetto Didattico; Biblioteca Reale, nuovo spazio espositivo e mostra Leonardo e i Tesori del Re 2013 Palazzo Madama, Crowdfunding per Servizio D’Azeglio; Museo Nazionale del Cinema, realizzazione Cappella del 3D; Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Mostra “La Seduzione del Disegno.

    BOTTEGHE STORICHE CHIESE E CAPPELLE PALAZZI ED EDIFICI STORICI ToTo TORINO TOUR FOR ALL ARCHITETTURA LUOGHI SITI ARCHEOLOGICI MONUMENTI IL QUADRILATEROARCHITETTURA URBANA PUNTO DI INTERESSE 1 PIAZZA CASTELLO Torino Tour for All inizia nel cuore della città, in piazza Castello, che si estende su circa 40 mila metri quadri. È delimitata da piazzetta Reale e vi confluisco- no quattro dei principali assi viari del centro: via Garibaldi (pedonale), via Po, via Roma e via Pietro Micca. Durante il regno sabaudo e poi nel periodo postunitario piazza Castello fu il centro dello Stato Pie- montese: è circondata per tre lati su quattro da monumentali portici, costruiti in periodi differenti. A metà Ottocento i portici a ovest erano soprannominati Portici della Fiera, perché ospitavano le fiere di carnevale. Su piazza Castello si affacciano, partendo da via Garibaldi e procedendo in senso orario il Palaz- zo della Giunta Regionale, la Chiesa di San Lorenzo, Palazzo Chiablese, Palazzo Reale, Biblio- teca e Armeria Reale, l’Archivio di Stato, il Palazzo del Governo, oggi Prefettura, il Teatro Regio e la Galleria dell’Industria Subalpina. Al centro della piazza sorge Palazzo Madama. Piazza Castello fu progettata a partire dal 1587 da Ascanio Vitozzi, architetto di corte del Duca di Savoia Carlo Emanuele I e nasce per incorniciare in uno spazio ordinato il preesistente Palazzo Madama e per ospitare il Palazzo Novo Grande, l’odierno Palazzo Reale. Nonostante gli interventi architettonici del 1612 e del 1773 la piazza mantiene la sua configurazio- ne in tre settori: la zona più antica, il cui assetto risale all’epoca romana, sul lato di via Garibaldi, la zona di collegamento verso il fiume sul lato di via Po e l’area di piazzetta Reale, che un tempo era divisa dalla piazza da un muraglione in cotto.

  • Le Residenze Reali Di Torino E Del Piemonte E IL PROGETTO “CORONA VERDE”
    Le Residenze Reali di Torino e del Piemonte E IL PROGETTO “CORONA VERDE” La Corona diDelizie 2 INFORMAZIONI CULTURALI IL SITO Le Residenze Reali di Torino e del Piemonte costituiscono un patrimonio dinastico complesso ma unitario sorto per volontà della Famiglia Reale dei Savoia attorno a Torino, capitale dello Stato dal 1563. Esso rappresenta un’autentica simbiosi tra cultura e natura attraverso la supremazia sullo spazio urbano e la pianificazione di vaste aree rurali caratterizzato da un notevole livello di ordine e concentrazione, risultato di una rilevante razionalità politica e dinastica: un’organizzazione concentrica autoritaria che garantisce un continuo, rapido e centrifugo accesso a tutte le Residenze. Il cuore di questo patrimonio è naturalmente il cuore di Torino stessa che domina, nel vero senso del termine, un sistema di palazzi, “vigne”, ville, castelli: un complesso di regali residenze, teatro della raffinata vita di corte e maestosa testimonianza del potere acquisito da Casa Savoia. Agli antichi palazzi si affiancarono nei secoli magnifiche regge progettate dai principali architetti dell’epoca ;al centro di comando torinese si aggiunsero luoghi di svago e piacere lungo i fiumi, in collina, nella campagna circostante. La costruzione di sfarzose maisons de plaisance, fra Cinquecento e Settecento, fu frutto di un disegno architettonico ben preciso: creare una “Corona di Delizie” (secondo la celebre definizione di Amedeo di Castellamonte del 1672) che circondasse la città. Oggi, con la definizione di “Corona di Delizie”si intende quel complesso di residenze storiche con i loro giardini, possedimenti, arredi e collezioni, che da loisir di corte si apre al pubblico con individualità peculiari, sia ritrovando l’antica funzione, sia scoprendo nuove vocazioni.
