  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.

The MCC is the public policy agency for the Catholic Church in the state of Missouri. The Annual Assembly is held in the fall in Jefferson City, and draws hundreds of Catholics to our state capital. This gathering is meant to promote engagement in faith and public issues. This year’s theme is Pope Francis at Five Years: The Church at the Peripheries. Sessions are inspired by a quote from Pope Francis: “The church is called to come out of herself and to go to the peripheries, not only geographically, but also the existential peripheries: the mystery of sin, of pain, of injustice, of ignorance and indifference to religion, of intellectual currents and of all misery.” Workshop sessions cover a variety of topics including immigration, pro-life, campus ministry, human trafficking, and more. The 2018 Keynote speaker is Bishop Joseph Perry of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Bishop Perry, originally, a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, was ordained a priest by the late Archbishop William Edward Cousins, May 24, 1975 at St. John Cathedral, Milwaukee.

  • History of the Diocese of Providence
    History of the Diocese of Providence The history below was researched and authored by Fr. Robert Hayman, Pastor Emeritus of St. Sebastian Church in Providence. To contact Fr. Hayman, please write: Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul, 30 Fenner Street, Providence, RI 02903. The Beginnings of Catholicism in Rhode Island Rather than observing its 125th anniversary in 1997, the Diocese of Providence might well be observing its 152nd. In 1843, when the Diocese of Boston, which had until then encompassed all of New England, was divided, the Holy See designed Hartford, Connecticut as the see city of the new diocese. The first Bishop of Hartford, the Vermont-born convert, Fr. William Barber Tyler, was a priest of the Diocese of Boston. Shortly after his ordination on March 17, 1844, Bishop Tyler was formally installed as head of the new diocese in Holy Trinity Church, Hartford, on Sunday, April 14, 1844. Hartford at that time had a population of roughly 13,000, of whom between 500 and 600 were adult Catholics, and was centrally located within the new diocese. However, Holy Trinity was burdened with debt and there was little extra revenue to support another priest living in the parish. Providence, on the other hand, had a population of 23,000, of whom over 2,000 were Catholics. There were two churches in the city, SS. Peter and Paul and St. Patrick’s. SS. Peter and Paul was the larger of the two and was debt free. After talking the matter over with Bishop Joseph Fenwick of Boston, Bishop Tyler came over to Providence on the first Sunday of July 1844, and announced to the parishioners of SS.
