The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians: In giving birth Mary kept her virginity; in her Dormition she did not leave the world, but was joined to the source of Life. Mary conceived the living God and, by her prayers, will deliver our souls from death. (see CCC #966). After speaking of the Church, her origin, mission, and destiny, we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary. In her we contemplate what the Church already is in her mystery on her own "pilgrimage of faith," and what she will be in the homeland at the end of her journey. There, "in the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity," "in the communion of all the saints," The Church is awaited by the one she venerates as Mother of her Lord and as her own (Continued on page 10) Parish Staff and Ministry Facilitators Veronica Alexander Edward Cardoza Heather Famelio Helene Kenney Office Manager Mt Olivet Cemetery Parish Accountant/Payroll Parish Secretary [email protected] 732-741-5516 [email protected] [email protected] Pam PamTaylor Taylor Diane Testa Diane Testa Fred Valentino Fred Valentino Finance Finance Office Office Music Ministry Music MinistryDirector of Facilities Director of Facilities [email protected]@sjredbank.org [email protected]@sjredbank.org Altar Servers Altar Society Contemporary Music Group Hospitality Christian Buckman Rita Kline Joe Clark Stephanie Snow Lazarus Ministry Knights of Columbus Our Daily Bread Peace of Christ Prayer Group Ann Marie Six Peter DeFazio Martha Christofili Sue Kuhar River Jordan Ministry Senior Citizens Social Concerns That Man is You MaryEllen Connelly Sr. Ethel Friedman Jim Schmitt Jack Paul Ushers Young Adults Pat Flood Colleen Owens Saint James Elementary School Parish Office Red Bank Catholic High School 10 Peters Place 94 Broad Street 112 Broad Street Red Bank, New Jersey 07701 Red Bank, New Jersey 07701 Red Bank, New Jersey 07701 732-741-3363 Telephone: 732-741-0500 732-747-1774 Website: mysaintjames.com Website: sjredbank.org Website: redbankcatholic.org Saint James Convent Mount Olivet Cemetery 25 Drummond Place Parish Office Hours Located: 100 Chapel Hill Rd.

  • Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration
    Introduction to the 2018 Convocation for Restoration and Renewal of the Undivided Church: Through a renewed Catholicity – Dublin, Ireland – March 2018 The Polish National Catholic Church and the Declaration and Union of Scranton by the Very Rev. Robert M. Nemkovich Jr. The Polish National Catholic Church promulgated the Declaration of Scranton in 2008 to preserve true and genuine Old Catholicism and allow for a Union of Churches that would be a beacon for and home to people of all nations who aspire to union with the pristine faith of the undivided Church. The Declaration of Scranton “is modeled heavily on the 1889 Declaration of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches. This is true not only in its content, but also in the reason for its coming to fruition.”1 The Polish National Catholic Church to this day holds the Declaration of Utrecht as a normative document of faith. To understand the origins of the Declaration of Utrecht we must look back not only to the origin of the Old Catholic Movement as a response to the First Vatican Council but to the very see of Utrecht itself. “The bishopric of Utrecht, which until the sixteenth century had been the only bishopric in what is now Dutch territory, was founded by St. Willibrord, an English missionary bishop from Yorkshire.”2 Willibrord was consecrated in Rome by Pope Sergius I in 696, given the pallium of an archbishop and given the see of Utrecht by Pepin, the Mayor of the Palace of the Merovingian dynasty. Utrecht became under Willibrord the ecclesiastical capital of the Northern Netherlands.

For each one of us, the important question is, or should be, not how many will be saved, but rather, shall each of us be saved. The Council of Trent, quoting Saint Augustine, says: “God never commands the impossible. But he warns us to do what we can, and to ask of Him the grace to accomplish what we of ourselves cannot do, and He aids us to fulfill what He commands.” What we know for sure is that God gives us what we need to go to Heaven.

  • Ad Utriusque Imperii Unitatem? Anastasius Bibliothecarius As a Broker Between Two Cultures and Three Courts in the Ninth Century
    Ad utriusque imperii unitatem? Anastasius Bibliothecarius as a Broker between Two Cultures and Three Courts in the Ninth Century Clemens Gantner* In 870, Anastasius, former (and later once again) librarian of the papal bibliotheca and chan- cellery, well-known erudite and former anti-pope, reached the pinnacle of his career as a diplomat. While exiled from Rome for a crime committed by his cousin, he was an important member of a mission sent to Constantinople by the Carolingian emperor and lord of Italy Louis II. He was sent there to negotiate a marriage alliance between Louis’s daughter and only surviving child Ermengard and a son of the upstart Byzantine emperor Basil I, which was ultimately to serve to bind the two empires together in the fight against the Saracens, southern Italy and Sicily. While there, Anastasius also joined the papal delegation at the Eighth Ecumenical Council, which was there in the pope’s stead to formally depose Patriarch Photius and negotiate the case of Bulgaria. We thus see Anastasius as a diplomat and cultural broker between Latin and Greek ecclesiastic and lay culture and between three courts. He composed a letter about his dealings in the East for Pope Hadrian II in 870, and thus we have an invaluable first-hand eyewitness account. While most negotiations started in 869 and 870 between the East and the West ultimately failed or were rendered pointless by political change, Anastasius shows us that 870 was a great chance for all sides. And while most parties involved lost something by the failure of the exchanges, Anastasius himself regained and kept a powerful position in the papal administration once again.

  • THE DISSEMINATION and RECEPTION of the ORDINES ROMANI in the CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, C.750-900
    THE DISSEMINATION AND RECEPTION OF THE ORDINES ROMANI IN THE CAROLINGIAN CHURCH, c.750-900 Arthur Robert Westwell Queens’ College 09/2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Arthur Robert Westwell Thesis Summary: The Dissemination and Reception of the Ordines Romani in the Carolingian Church, c.750- 900. The ordines romani are products of a ninth-century attempt to correct liturgy across Europe. Hitherto, scholarship has almost exclusively focused on them as sources for the practices of the city of Rome, narrowly defined, disregarding how they were received creatively and reinterpreted in a set of fascinating manuscripts which do not easily fit into traditional categories. This thesis re- envisages these special texts as valuable testimonies of intent and principle. In the past few decades of scholarship, it has been made very clear that what occurred under the Carolingians in the liturgy did not involve the imposition of the Roman rite from above. What was ‘Roman’ and ‘correct’ was decided by individuals, each in their own case, and they created and edited texts for what they needed. These individuals were part of intensive networks of exchange, and, broadly, they agreed on what they were attempting to accomplish. Nevertheless, depending on their own formation, and the atmosphere of their diocese, the same ritual content could be interpreted in numerous different ways. Ultimately, this thesis aims to demonstrate the usefulness of applying new techniques of assessing liturgical manuscripts, as total witnesses whose texts interpret each other, to the ninth century. Each of the ordo romanus manuscripts of the ninth century preserves a fascinating glimpse into the process of working out what ‘correct’ liturgy looked like, by people intensely invested in that proposition.

  • 005-Santa Susanna
    (005/11) Santa Susanna Santa Susanna is an 15th century monastic and titular church. It is on the Piazza San Bernardo, on the Via XX Settembre just north-west of the Piazza della Repubblica and its metro station in the rione Trevi. The dedication is to St Susanna, and the full official title is Santa Susanna alle Terme di Diocleziano. (1) History A church at Santa Susanna commemorates the place where, according to St. Jerome, a young Christian woman was martyred for refusing to worship Rome's pagan gods. Around the year 290 Susanna was residing with her father, Christian presbyter Gabinus, right next door to her saintly uncle Pope Caius (283-296), and in the shadows of the Emperor Diocletian's (284-305) immense baths. After refusing to break a vow of virginity to marry her insistent suitor Maximianus Galerius (none other than the Emperor's adopted son and heir), Susanna also balked at offering a pagan sacrifice, and was beheaded in her own home. The church of Santa Susanna is one of the oldest titles of Rome. The first Christian place of worship was built here in the 4th century. It was probably the titulus of Pope Caius (283-296). The early Christian church was built on the remains of three Roman villas, and was located immediately outside the fence of the Baths of Diocletian and close to the Servian walls. (8) First church By tradition, the church was built in 330, and named San Caio after the owner of the first chapel. In 590, the church was rededicated to St Susan because of her growing popularity.
