St. Maryof the Hill The Third Sunday of Lent • March 6 & 7, 2021 St. Mary of the Hill PARISH Why Do We Do That? - 1515 CARMEL RD. HUBERTUS, WISCONSIN 53033 Catholic Life Explained Question: Located on the scenic grounds of Holy Hill What’s the difference between priests and brothers, friars, etc.? Answer: The distinctions titles and categories used for priests and the male members of religious communities can be confusing, especially since the categories can sometimes be intertwined as a man can be both a priest and a monk, or a brother and a friar. So, to help to piece the puzzle together, it’s important to begin by noting some basic distinctions: The distinction between priests (who are ordained for sacramental ministry) and brothers (who are non-ordained members of religious communities and who are committed to lives of prayer and service). Priests: A priest is a man who has been ordained for sacramental ministry and these fall into two categories: A) Diocesan (or Secular) Priests can either be attached to a diocese and who serve under a bishop. Their ministry is usually oriented toward pastoral service. B) Religious Priests are members of religious communities (like the Franciscans, Jesuits, Salvatorians, or Carmelites) and their lives are guided by the special mission and charism of their community. While both kinds of priest practice sacramental ministry, their spirituality and how they live out their priesthood can be very different. Brothers: Brothers are non-ordained members of religious communities (such as those mentioned above) who live lives committed to prayer and service. Religious priests and brothers serve together in their communities and their ministries include much more than the care of parishes. Monks, Friars, and Canons: These are broad categories that include religious priests and brothers, and each of these is connected to specific ways of life and spiritualities. ©LPi Liturgical Roles, Bulletins, Newsletters, and more… can be viewed at http://www.stmaryhh.org Carmelite Lenten Reconciliation Quotation St. Mary of the Hill will offer Reconciliation every Saturday during Lent at the parish center from 2:30-3:30pm on March 13, 20 and 27. of the Week No sign up required.

In the Church's calendar, Carmel is one of three Marian sites celebrated liturgically, along with Lourdes and St. Mary Major. It may be asked: Who founded the Carmelites on Mount Carmel?

  • VOWS in the SECULAR ORDER of DISCALCED CARMELITES Fr
    VOWS IN THE SECULAR ORDER OF DISCALCED CARMELITES Fr. Michael Buckley, OCD The moment we hear the word “Vows” we think automatically of religious. The “vows of religion” is a phrase that comes immediately to our minds: vows and religion are always associated in our thinking. Indeed, for religious men and women, vows of poverty, chastity and obedience are of the very essence of their vocation. Regularly vows are made after novitiate, and again a few years later; the only difference is between simple (temporary) and solemn (perpetual) vows. So it is a new concept when we encounter vows in the context of a Secular Order as we do in Carmel. Yet, the exclusive association of vows with religious people is not warranted. A glance at the Canon Law of the Church will illustrate this. The Canon Law speaks about vows in numbers 1191-98, just before a chapter on oaths. Our Secular legislation makes no reference to the Canon Law when it speaks about vows. That is not necessarily a defect or lacuna in our Constitutions. Our legislation is in accord with sacred canons, but it is essential to be familiar with these. Let me summarize the chapter. It begins with a precise definition: “A vow is a deliberate and free promise made to God concerning a possible and better good which must be fulfilled by reason of the virtue of religion.” Then it goes on to distinguish vows which are a) public, i.e., accepted in the name of the church, b) solemn or simple, c) personal or real, d) how vows cease or are dispensed, etc.

Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

  • Allocutio – July 8, 2012 the Legionary Must Propagate Everything Catholic
    Allocutio – July 8, 2012 The Legionary Must Propagate Everything Catholic (Handbook Chapter 39 #34 pgs 305-306) Fr. Richard Soulliere, Spiritual Director In his Allocutio, Fr. Soulliere spoke about the Spiritual Reading. The first item that the Handbook mentions in the section entitled “The Legionary Must Propagate Everything Catholic” (Handbook, p. 305, #34) is the Brown Scapular. After Our Lord died on the cross, many people wanted to visit the Holy Land. They wanted to see Bethlehem where Jesus was born, Nazareth where He lived, and the Garden of Gethsemane and Calvary where He suffered and died. Some were so moved emotionally that they decided to stay there. Of these, some of the men made their way to Mt. Carmel, made famous in the Old Testament by St. Elias. It is northwest of Jerusalem, close by the sea, rising about 1,000 feet, its fertility, beauty and numerous caves making it peculiarly appropriate for hermits. There may have been some descendents of the followers of St. Elijah still living there. As I recall, it does not have a peak, but its top is a broad plateau. As the years passed, these men got to know one another, formed a community and eventually applied to Rome to be accepted as a congregation in the Roman Catholic Church, which was later approved in 1210. The name of the order is the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mt. Carmel. To the people living in the valleys below, they became known as “the Carmelites” or “those men living on Mt. Carmel.” Over the years they developed two things: (1) a great devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and (2) a garment they called the “scapular.” This garment runs, in front, from the knees over the shoulders, with an opening for the head and neck, and down the back to the knee area.

  • Blessed Mary of the Apostles Zealous for the Mission
    Fr. Scott Jones SDS Blessed Mary of the Apostles Zealous for the Mission ³ Curia Generalizia dei Salvatoriani Via della Conciliazione 51 I - 00193 Roma “The veneration of Blessed Mother Mary of the Apos- tles is essentially linked with the veneration of our Founder, Father Jordan, because she was the first who followed the way proposed by Father Jordan to be beatified by the Church.” In this way, the 17th General Chapter of the Salvato rians held in Logroño in 2006 formulated the fifth point of the ordinance on the promotion of the veneration of Fa- ther Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan, the Founder of our Salvatorian Family (which includes the Salvatorian fathers, brothers, sisters as well as lay Salvatorians), thus confirming the significance of the person of Bless- ed Mary of the Apostles to the entire Salvatorian Family. Therefore, it appears only natural that the new volume in the series of booklets under the heading “Salvato- rians Worth Knowing”, which we have published since year 2005, should include a biography of the German Baroness Therese von Wüllenweber, known today as Blessed Mary of the Apostles. The above mentioned series was opened with a bi- ography of Servant of God Father Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan, Founder of the Salvatorians, which was followed by a biography of his first collaborator Fr. Bona- venture Lüthen. As the male branch of the religious congregation founded by Father Jordan, we are very pleased to be able to participate in the celebrations of this one hundredth anniversary of the death of Mother Mary of the Apos- tles (December 25, 1907) with this modest publication, | 3 which we wish to present to our Salvatorian Sisters as a little gift.

  • Constitutions of Discalced Carmelite Secular Order
    Constitutions of Discalced Carmelite Secular Order This is the text of the Constitutions approved by the General Definitory in March 2003 and presented to the General Chapter in Avila. This text was approved by the Holy See on June 16, 2003. Amendments III-B Fraternal Communion, 31a and 58j concerning St. Joseph were approved by the Holy See on January 7, 2014. Preface All are called to share, in charity, the holiness which belongs to God alone: “You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48). Following Christ is the way to attain perfection, open to all by baptism. Through Baptism we take part in the triple mission of Jesus: kingly, priestly and prophetic. The first is a commitment to transforming the world according to God’s design. By the priestly mission, the baptized person offers self and the whole of creation to the Father with Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit. And as prophet, the bap- tized person announces God’s plan for human kind and denounces all that is contrary to it[1]. The great Teresian Carmelite family is present in the world in many forms. The nucleus of this family is the Order of Discalced Carmel- ites: the friars, the enclosed nuns, the seculars. It is the one Order with the same charism. The Order is nourished by the long tradition of Carmel, expressed in the Rule of Saint Albert and the doctrine of the Carmelite Doctors of the Church and the Order’s other saints. The present OCDS Constitutions are the fundamental law for its members, present in different regions of the world.
