MASS FOR LIFE, Diocese of Cleveland holds annual Mass for Life at Cathedral of TUESDAY, St. John the Evangelist on Jan. 22, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. 22 JANUARY 2019, 10:00 AM The Diocese of Cleveland honors the Church’s teaching that every life is cherished, chosen and sent. Each year the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelists celebrates the Mass for Life on 22 January, the anniversary date of Roe v. Wade. Members of all parishes and students from all high schools are encouraged to join in prayer at the special liturgy at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 22 January 2019. Following Mass, the Rosary for Life will be prayed. In our society, it is easy to see ways that the dignity of human life is disregarded. God creates every person for eternal union with himself and continually invites us to embrace the teaching that every life is chosen. If schools or parishes have efforts in place that acknowledge the anniversary, please share with the Office for Human Life by emailing [email protected] OFFICE FOR WORSHIP 2019 ANNUAL The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland (CDC) Annual Liturgical Notes LITURGICAL for 2019 are available on the Office for Worship website at NOTES www.dioceseofcleveland.org/worship ______________________________________________________________________________ Diocesan Memorandum 2018 – Page 265 SOLEMNITY OF The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin THE IMMACULATE Mary, Patroness of the United States, is always a holyday of CONCEPTION OF obligation.

CANDLEMAS DAY, The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas Day) is one of SATURDAY, only two liturgical celebrations which call for a procession of the 2 FEBRUARY 2019 faithful into church carrying lighted candles - the other being the Easter Vigil. The faithful gather outside the church (or for pastoral reasons, inside the church), and after their candles are lit, the priest blesses them: "O God, source and origin of all light, ...sanctify with your blessing these candles, which we are eager to carry in praise of your name, so that, treading the path of virtue, we may reach that light which never fails." The Procession follows. (RM, Proper of Saints, February 2) ______________________________________________________________________________ Diocesan Memorandum 2018 – Page 266 FEAST OF ST. “If the blessing [of throats] is conferred during Mass, the blessing BLASE, SUNDAY, follows the homily and general intercessions, or, for pastoral reasons, 3 FEBRUARY 2019, the prayer of blessing may take the place of the final blessing of the BLESSING OF Mass. The blessing may be given by touching the throat of each THROATS person with two candles blessed on the feast of the Presentation of the Lord (February 2) and which have been joined together in the form of a cross. If, for pastoral reasons, each individual cannot be blessed in the manner described in no. 1627, for example when great numbers are gathered for the blessing or when the memorial of Saint Blase occurs on a Sunday, a priest or deacon may give the blessing to all assembled by extending hands, without the crossed candles, over the people while saying the prayer of blessing. The blessing may also be given to the sick or the elderly in their homes when they cannot attend the parish celebration.” (Book of Blessings, 1626-1629) For Masses on Saturday, February 2 after 4:00 p.m., we suggest the Blessing of Throats may, at the pastor’s discretion, take the place of the Final Blessing. RITE OF The Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion is always ELECTION, held on the First Sunday of Lent in the Catholic Diocese of SUNDAY, Cleveland. Please mark your calendars for Sunday, 10 March 2019. 10 MARCH 2019 More detailed information on registration and liturgy scheduling will be forthcoming as the date approaches. DIOCESAN The annual diocesan Evening of Confession is scheduled for EVENING OF Wednesday, 20 March 2019 from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Please see CONFESSION, various resources for parishes at http://www.welcomecatholics.com/. WEDNESDAY, 20 MARCH 2019 CHRISM MASS, Please mark your calendars for the celebration of the Chrism Mass, TUESDAY, Tuesday of Holy Week, 16 April 2019 at 7:00 p.m. At this special 16 APRIL 2019 liturgy, Bishop Perez will consecrate all the holy oils which will be used in our diocese for the coming year. This is also an opportunity for priests of the diocese to renew themselves in their priestly vocation. Please be advised that at this year’s Chrism Mass, in an effort to be fair and non-partisan, parishioners will not have the opportunity to reserve seating for other parishioners in advance. General seating for the Chrism Mass will be first come, first served. ______________________________________________________________________________ Diocesan Memorandum 2018 – Page 267 2019 EASTER VIGIL "The Easter Vigil, in the holy night when the Lord rose again, is considered the "mother of all holy Vigils," in which the Church, keeping watch, awaits the Resurrection of Christ and celebrates it in the Sacraments. Therefore, the entire celebration of this sacred Vigil must take place at night, so that it both begins after nightfall and ends before the dawn on the Sunday." (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, third edition, # 21) In the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the instruction "after nightfall" is to be interpreted as no earlier than 7:30 p.m. Chancery SAINTS CYRIL AND The building at the corner of 15th Street NW and Shannon Avenue in METHODIUS Barberton is no longer a Catholic church. The site was sold by the CHURCH, Diocese of Cleveland in 2011 following the closure of Saints Cyril BARBERTON and Methodius Parish. The building is currently occupied by “C&M” “Christus et me” “Orthodox Old Catholic Church.” This group has no affiliation with the Diocese of Cleveland and is not in full communion with the rest of the Catholic Church.

  • Columbus Bishop Places Priest on Administrative Leave
    Catholic Diocese of Columbus Communications Office PHONE 6142412555 E-MAIL [email protected] DATE: September 13, 2019 RELEASE: IMMEDIATE COLUMBUS BISHOP PLACES PRIEST ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE COLUMBUS – As part of a diocesan investigation of an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor, the Most Reverend Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Columbus, has placed diocesan priest Father Kevin F. Lutz, 69, on administrative leave, effective September 11, 2019. This action and announcement are made in accordance with the Catholic Church’s Charter and Norms for the Protection of Children and Young People and the Diocese’s published Policies for Prevention of Sexual Abuse of Minors and Response to Allegations Thereof. Father Lutz recently announced his retirement from priestly ministry at St. Mary Parish, Columbus, which was effective September 8, 2019. The next day, September 9, an accusation of sexual abuse of a minor, allegedly occurring during Father Lutz’s tenure at St. Christopher Parish, Columbus, from 1983-1986, was reported to the Diocesan Chancery office. The same day, Diocesan officials had the allegation reported to Columbus Police and notified Father Lutz of the allegation. On September 11, the details of the allegation were reviewed with Father Lutz, he was formally placed on leave, and he was advised about the steps the Church would follow as a result of the allegation. As was explained to Father Lutz, his placement on administrative leave was not an indication that the Diocese had determined that the allegation is credible. Rather, the preliminary investigation into the allegation has just begun. -MORE- COLUMBUS BISHOP PLACES – 2 of 3 A meeting of the Diocesan Board of Review for the Protection of Children will be convened in the near future to assess the results of the preliminary investigation and advise the Bishop as to whether or not it appears to be credible.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I give praise and glory to God Almighty, the creator and author of my being, essence and existence. I sincerely thank my Lord Bishop, Most Rev. Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor for his paternal blessings, support and sponsorship. With deepest sentiments of gratitude, I thank tremendously my beloved parents, my siblings, my in-laws, friends and relatives for their great kindness and love.

    1 FAITH CONFESSION OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament St. Thomas Syro-Malabar understanding of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Catholic Diocese of Chicago St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by living My Lord and My God and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro- Malabar Church in the United States of America.
