August 9, 2020 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 Shepherd’s Message SANCTUARY (Taken from different sources in the internet) A sanctuary, in its original meaning, is a sacred place, such as a shrine. By the use of such places as a haven, by extension the term has come to be used for any place of safety. This secondary use can be categorized into human sanctuary, a safe place for humans, such as a political sanctuary; and non-human sanctuary, such as an animal or plant sanctuary. Sanctuary is a word derived from the Latin sanctuarium, which is, like most words ending in -arium, a container for keeping something in—in this case, holy things or perhaps cherished people (sanctae/sancti). The meaning was extended to places of holiness or safety, in particular the whole demarcated area, often many acres, surrounding a Greek or Roman temple; the original terms for these are temenos in Greek and fanum in Latin, but both may be translated as "sanctuary." Similar usage may be sometimes found describing sacred areas in other religions. In Christian churches sanctuary has a specific meaning: covering part of the interior or covered below. SANCTUARY AS THE AREA AROUND THE ALTAR In many Western Christian traditions, including Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Anglican churches, the area around the altar is called the sanctuary; it is also considered holy because of the physical presence of God in the Eucharist, both during the Mass and in the church tabernacle the rest of the time. In many churches, the architectural term ‘chancel; covers the same area as the sanctuary, and either term may be used. In some Protestant churches, the term sanctuary denotes the entire worship area while the term chancel is used to refer to the area around the altar-table. In many Western traditions altar rails sometimes mark the edge of the sanctuary or chancel. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Eastern Catholic Churches of Syro-Malabar Church, Byzantine rite and Coptic Orthodox Churches, the sanctuary is separated from the nave (where worshippers pray) by an iconostasis, literally a wall of icons, with three doors in it. In other Oriental Orthodox traditions, a sanctuary curtain is used. The terminology that applies the word sanctuary to the area around the altar does not apply to Christian churches alone: King Solomon's temple, built in about 950 BC, had a sanctuary ("Holy of Holies") where the Ark of the Covenant was, and the term applies to the corresponding part of any house of worship. In most modern synagogues, the main room for prayer is known as the sanctuary, to contrast it with smaller rooms dedicated to various other services and functions. (There is a raised bimah in the sanctuary, from which services are conducted, which is where the ark holding the Torah may reside; some synagogues, however, have a separate bimah and ark-platform.) SANCTUARY AS A SACRED PLACE In Europe, Christian churches were sometimes built on land considered to be a particularly holy spot, perhaps where a miracle or martyrdom was believed to have taken place or where a holy person was buried. Examples are St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Albans Cathedral in England, which commemorate the martyrdom of Saint Peter (the first Pope) and Saint Alban (the first Christian martyr in Britain), respectively. The place, and therefore the church built there, was considered to have been sanctified (made holy) by what happened there. In modern times, the Catholic Church has continued this practice by placing in the altar of each church, when it is consecrated for use, a box (the sepulcrum) containing relics of a saint. The relics box is removed when the church is taken out of use as a church. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the antimension on the altar serves a similar function. It is a cloth icon of Christ's body taken down from the cross, and typically has the relics of a saint sewn into it. In addition, it is signed by the parish's bishop, and represents his authorization and blessing for the Eucharist to be celebrated on that altar. Liturgical laws of the Church do not say “who is not allowed” but rather say “who is allowed” to be in the sanctuary. And only those who have some legitimate purpose for being there, are those who should (or may) be there. Every person at Mass has a proper location. The Church doesn’t say “the laity are forbidden to enter the Sanctuary” but instead says that there is a proper place for the laity and a proper place for the clergy (and those who have a reason to be in the Sanctuary). The priest celebrant, the deacon, and the other ministers have places in the sanctuary. Seats for concelebrants should also be prepared there. If, however, their number is great, seats should be arranged in another part of the church, but near the altar. God bless, Fr. Eduardo Coll, Administrator August 9, 2020 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 Missalette Availability & Alternatives INTRODUCTION Due to current health precautions, we do not place missalettes in the pews. As we already had received the current liturgical season’s missalettes, we have made them available for individuals/families to pick up from boxes at the entrances to church encouraging anyone who does so to take them with you to keep in your possession. When these run out and/or reach the end of their dates, we will not be ordering more due to current financial strain. Thus, we wanted to make you aware now and offer some alternatives for those who prefer to have a missal in which to follow along with the Mass readings and/or responses SUBSCRIPTION MAGAZINES You can order your own copy of the very missalette we usually use, titled “Today’s Missal” from the publisher OCP. You can find “Today’s Missal” and several other options at OCP’s missal webpage: hps://www.ocp.org/ enRus/missals . Another popular printed subscription-based magazine that includes the daily Mass readings as well as meditations and other interesting articles is called Magnificat, which is available several languages. To learn more about Magnificat visit their main webpage from which you choose the region and language you’d like to explore: hps://magnificat.net/. A third printed subscription-based magazine that includes the daily Mass readings as well as many other resources is titled The Word Among Us. The Word Among Us is available as a print publication, online through a paid website, or as a mobile app. To learn more about The Word Among Us visit:hps://wau.org/ BOUND MISSALS Finally, if you don’t want to worry about a subscription, you can instead purchase an official Missal that includes all the readings and liturgical responses in one volume.

Nominator: Arielle Harris, University City Historical Society Staff Contact: Allyson Mehley, [email protected], 215-686-7660 OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the property at 4017-21 Chestnut Street in the University City neighborhood of West Philadelphia, formerly known as New Tabernacle Baptist Church, and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The nomination contends that New Tabernacle Baptist Church satisfies Criteria A and J by exemplifying not only what became a common practice of merging Baptist congregations in nineteenth-century Philadelphia but also the migration of Philadelphians to West Philadelphia in the mid to late nineteenth century. The nomination asserts that the New Tabernacle Baptist Church satisfies Criteria D and E as an important example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by noted church architect and native Philadelphian Frank Rushmore Watson. In addition, the nomination argues that the church has continuously occupied this parcel along Chestnut Street since 1860, thereby satisfying Criterion H as a recognizable visual feature of its local community and City of Philadelphia. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the nomination demonstrates that the property at 4017-21 Chestnut Street satisfies Criteria for Designation A, D, E, H, and J. 1.

  • Appendices 1 – 12
    APPENDICES 1 – 12 Religion Course of Study PreK-12 --- Diocese of Toledo --- 2018 Appendix 1: God’s Plan of Salvation -- A Summary (Used with permission, Diocese of Green Bay, WI) It is very important that before we dive into the religion Course of Study each year, we set the stage with an overview of God’s plan of salvation – the adventurous story of God’s unfailing love for us, his persistence in drawing us back to himself, and the characters along the way who succeed and fail in their quest for holiness. The context of the Story of Salvation will provide the proper foundation for the rest of your catechetical instruction. The Story can be taught as a one-day lesson, or a week long lesson. Each teacher must make a determination of how long they will take to present the Story to their students. It is important that the story be presented so that each of us can understand our place and purpose in the larger plan of God, as well as how the Church is central to God’s plan of salvation for the world. An overview of God’s plan is to be presented at the beginning of each year, and should be revisited periodically during the year as the subject matter or liturgical season warrants. Please make the presentation appropriate to the grade level. 1. God is a communion of Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three Persons in one God is the Blessed Trinity. God has no beginning and no end.

    THE ALTAR AND ITS DECORATIONS IN MEDIEVAL CHURCHES. A FUNCTIONALIST APPROACH Justin E. A. Kroesen University of Groningen [email protected] Abstract It is the aim of this article to problematize the concept of the medieval altarpiece or retable. If handbook defi nitions of a formal nature are followed, many confi g- urations which actually occur in medieval churches remain overlooked. In order to understand the pluriformity of medieval altar decorations, a functional defi ni- tion seems more helpful, such as ‘any object or depiction on top of or behind the altar that forms a backdrop to liturgical activity on and around the altar’. Altars were sometimes equipped with objects which could adopt the function of an al- tarpiece, including reliquaries and saints’ sculptures, while others were provided with painted or sculptured backdrops which often blend in with the architecture of the building. In addition, many medieval altar decorations display a funda- mentally composite character, with clear distinctions between formal categories such as frontals, altar sculptures, panel retables, tabernacles and shrines being diffi cult to maintain. To gain a better insight into the true variety of medieval altar decorations, special attention should be paid to side altars. Re-evaluating these fi xtures as a basic element of the medieval church interior enables us to form a more realistic picture of the variety of medieval altar furnishings and to better understand the original context of the many loose objects we now admire in churches and museums. Keywords Medieval liturgy, retable, altarpiece, tabernacle, sculpture, painting. Resumen El afán de este artículo es problematizar el concepto del retablo medieval.

  • General Principles
    Administration of Communion and Viaticum at Mass and to the Infirm by an Extraordinary Minister (EMHC) Updated February 18, 2015 General Principles References See the most recent, guiding document: Administration of Communion and Viaticum by an Extraordinary Minister from Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass, USCCB (Washington D.C.: January, 2013). Ordinary Ministers In every celebration of the Eucharist, there should be a sufficient number of ministers of Holy Communion so that it may be distributed in a reverent and orderly manner. Bishops, priests and deacons distribute Holy Communion in virtue of their office as ordinary ministers of the Body and Blood of the Lord.1 Extraordinary Ministers When the size of the congregation or the incapacity of the bishop, priest, or deacon requires it, the celebrant may be assisted by other bishops, priests, or deacons. If such ordinary ministers of Holy Communion are not present, “the priest may call upon extraordinary ministers to assist him, i.e., duly instituted acolytes or even other faithful who have been deputed for this purpose. In case of necessity, the priest may also depute suitable faithful for this single occasion.”2 When recourse is had to Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, especially in the distribution of Holy Communion under both kinds, their number should not be increased beyond what is required for the orderly and reverent distribution of the Body and Blood of the Lord. For the laity, to bear and distribute Holy Communion is a tremendous privilege and not a right. As such, it is important to understand that liturgical ministries exist in service to the Mystical Body of Christ more than any accolades or spiritual graces they bring to us.

    Diocese of Madison CATECHETICAL STANDARDS & BENCHMARKS Grades PreK—8 Promulgated June 8, 2012 Office of Evangelization & Catechesis Office of Catholic Schools June 6, 2012 Dear Friends in Christ, As we in the Diocese of Madison participate in the Universal Church’s preparation for the Year of Faith, it is joyfully fitting that we promulgate our new Catechetical Standards for grades pre-K through 8. I am grateful to the staffs of the Office of Evangelization & Catechesis and the Office of Catholic Schools, along with the many pastors, parents, directors, coordinators, principals, and catechists working in our Catholic schools and parish programs who have taken part in developing these solid standards based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In calling for a Year of Faith, Pope Benedict XVI echoes the words of Blessed John Paul the Great in declaring the Second Vatican Council “the great grace bestowed on the Church in the twentieth century,” and the Catechism of the Catholic Church as “one of the most important fruits” of this Council which “will make a very important contribution to that work of renewing the whole life of the Church.” In the Catechism, our Holy Father declares, we have “a precious and indispensable tool” for all people to not only “arrive at a systematic knowledge of the content of the faith,” but to authentically encounter the person of Jesus Christ “who lives within the Church” (Porta Fidei, 5, 11). In drawing generously and systemically from Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, these new standards offer an excellent foundation for drawing all participants, catechists and students alike, into deeper communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ, for “only He can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity” (Bl.

  • 6 the Principles of the Program Regarding a Concept of Urban
    The principles of the program regarding a concept of urban-architecture of Roman-Catholic church in the area of the district of “Europejska Stolica Kultury Nowe Żerniki” in Wrocław 1. The church – architecture, elements and the interior equipment The church can be designed on a rectangular or square, with a transept, or without it, in a form of the Latin Cross or Greek cross, of a hall or basilica type (with defined main axis), on vertical or central plan (circle, square, multi-axes) as well as irregular or non-symmetrical projection. The architecture of the church should be adequate for mass service (in the past, the style of the church’s architecture was regulated by liturgical norms). In the vertical projection of the church’s project, a space for people who attend the mass should be made – a nave with a presbytery, which should draw the attention of believers (it is the centre of the mass). The nave must be close to the presbytery and should be designed in away, which will allow the believers to focus their sight on the presbytery. While designing the nave, one should keep in mind that it has to create an atmosphere stating that the church is a serious but also a calm place. The design should also include a place for a prayer in private that is “less attractive than the presbytery”. It is important to also take the lighting, both natural and artificial into the account, along with the acoustics. The size of the nave in the church is determined by the number of believers in the church’s area, who attend masses and the number of the masses.

    St. Mary’s Catholic Church @ @ @ @ @ Greenville, South Carolina 1 October 2017 Dear Friends in Christ, “Be still and know that I am God.” Thus does the LORD instruct us in Psalm 46, verse 10. The stillness to which we are called in Holy Scripture is a letting go of actions and words that yields silence, both interior and exterior, and such silence is essential for every disciple of the Lord Jesus. We need times of exterior silence in order to cultivate interior silence, and without interior silence we make it very difficult to hear the Word of God. For this reason, silence is indispensable to authentic and mature Christian faith and life. Our Evangelical Protestant brethren often emphasize the need for a daily Quiet Time, and this is nothing other than the ancient Catholic practice of lectio divina, or divine reading, which is a meditative reading of the Scriptures in a quiet place. Lectio divine has four moments: lectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. Reading leads to meditating on what is read, and our meditation leads to prayer that culminates in the contemplation of the beauty of God. Simply set aside time each day, go to a quiet place, open the Sacred Page and read. “Be still and know that I am God.” Exterior and interior silence is also essential in the sacred liturgy, which is one of the reasons why children not yet ready to remain quiet during Mass are probably best entrusted to the nursery or are ready for a quick trip to the cry room or vestibule when necessary.
