In service and sacrifice, we must answer the call. By prayerfully and financially supporting the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, we can make a difference. The many programs and ministries funded through this generosity are doing critically important work. Our diocese achieves a great deal that no one parish can accomplish alone. For example, it: Ensures priests and deacons for the future through the Office of Vocations Provides a helping hand for all those seeking support through Catholic Charities Evangelizes future generations through Youth and Young Adult Ministry programs Provides pensions and healthcare through our Retired Priest Fund Please prayerfully consider a donation to the Appeal. All gifts, no matter the amount, are valued and meaningful. Note that once our parish achieves 100% of its goal, 50% of the overage is returned to our parish in support of our own initia- tives. To donate, visit https://charlestondiocese.org/donate/ Thank you for offering your prayers and support. Through the good works it makes possible, we are becoming the mis- sionary disciples Pope Francis has asked us to be. Let’s build His kingdom together! The BAA provides funding for incredible programs and ministries doing critically important work in our diocese. Through charitable, educational, outreach and evangelization efforts, a real difference is being made. Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the Appeal if you have not done so already. Our parish family is called to join our diocesan family in this endeavor. All gifts are meaningful and appreciated. For the Latest COVID Protocol Updates From the Diocese: you can find more complete information at Birthright of Columbia Baby Bottle Campaign is in this link: its final weeks. Be sure and return your filled baby bottles to church on NEXT WEEKEND, Father’s Day charlestondiocese.org/returning-to-the- Weekend, June 19 and 20.

    7601 VINE • LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 68505 ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when He said this, He breathed on them and said to them: “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven…” (John 20:21—23) THE SPIRIT AND THE CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS The Meaning of Pentecost…(from Catechism of the Catholic Church) 731 On the day of Pentecost when the seven weeks of Easter had come to an end, Christ's Passover is fulfilled in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, manifested, given, and communicated as a divine person: of his fullness, Christ, the Lord, pours out the Spirit in abundance.[Cf. Acts 2:3336][2623,767,1302] 732 On that day, the Holy Trinity is fully revealed. Since that day, the Kingdom announced by Christ has been open to those who believe in him: in the humility of the flesh and in faith, they already share in the communion of the Holy Trinity. By his coming, which never ceases, the Holy Spirit causes the world to enter into the "last days," the time of the Church, the Kingdom already inherited though not yet consummated. [244,672] We have seen the true Light, we have received the heavenly Spirit, we have found the true faith: we adore the indivisible Trinity, who has saved us.[Byzantine liturgy, Pentecost Ves- pers, Troparion, repeated after communion] 696FireNOne of the Symbols of the Holy Spirit: While water signifies birth and the fruitfulness of life given in the Holy Spirit, fire symbolizes the transforming energy of the Holy Spirit's actions.

  • Guide to Ministry Commitment for 2016-2017
    GUIDE TO MINISTRY COMMITMENT FOR 2016-2017 LITURGICAL MINISTRIES The Eucharistic Liturgy is the source and summit of Catholic life. All members of God’s Holy Church are called to active participation in the Mass. Please consider participating in one of the following ministries that are integral to our worship. ALTAR SERVER: This ministry is open to all parishioners 4th grade and older. Servers assist the presiding priest in the processional, setting and clearing the altar and holding the Roman Missal for prayers. You will receive training for this ministry and will serve with an experienced server initially. EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS: Eucharistic ministers are parishioners who have been confirmed and have been commissioned to distribute Holy Communion at Mass. Eucharistic Ministers are required to attend a training session before being scheduled. LECTORS: Newman Center parishioners who are high school age or older and have been confirmed may serve as Lectors. These men and women proclaim the Word of God at Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Lectors are required to attend a training session before being scheduled. LITURGY COORDINATORS: Liturgy Coordinators ensure that everything necessary for Mass is set up and in place before Mass begins. Coordinators recruit additional ministers as needed for Mass and assist where needed during Mass. Coordinators are also responsible for making sure that items are properly cleaned and stored after Mass. You will receive training for this ministry and will shadow an experienced coordinator before you do this on your own. MUSIC MINISTRY/CHOIR: At each Mass choir members lead the congregational singing and individual cantors are recruited from the choir.

  • The Newman Center at Muhlenberg College
    The Newman Center at Muhlenberg College 26 August 2020 Transverberation of the Heart of St. Teresa of Ávila Dear students, faculty, staff, and friends of the Catholic community at Muhlenberg College, Know that you are all in my prayers during these difficult times. I know that the coronavirus pandemic has caused many difficulties for everyone within our community. I am remembering especially in my prayers the Graduating Class of 2020, who were made to miss many memorable moments due to the precautions that the pandemic forced us to take, and our all of our new students joining the Muhlenberg family this year, especially the Graduating Class of 2024, whose first semester will be something quite different than they were likely expecting college life to be. I am writing to give you all an update on what Catholic Campus Ministry’s plans are for the coming semester. Due to the precautions that the College has put in place for the safety of all involved, most especially our students, things will look a little different during the Fall 2020 academic semester than what we are used to experiencing as part of Catholic life at Muhlenberg College. Nonetheless, my hope is that all involved with Catholic Campus ministry will help all of the Catholic members of the Muhlenberg community experience a vibrant Catholic life during these difficult times. As such, please see the following points related to Catholic life at Muhlenberg College this semester. MASS Unfortunately, the policies that the College has implemented to safeguard the health of our community, combined with the liturgical law of the Catholic Church, make it difficult to offer Mass on campus this semester, at least for the foreseeable future.
