  • Saints Related to Young People
    Saints Related to Young People Thomas Aquinas—Academics Thomas was a gentle teacher who believed faith and reason when used wisely would enable all humanity to know and love God as the angels. He studied in Paris from 1245-1248 under Saint Albert the Great, then accompanied Albertus to Cologne. Here he received the nickname “dumb ox,” though he is now considered a Doctor of the Church, and one of the most intelligent philosophers of all time. Vitus—Against Oversleeping For obscure reasons, some 16th century Germans believed they could obtain a year's good health by dancing before the statue of Saint Vitus on his feast day. This dancing developed almost into a mania, and was confused with chorea, the nervous condition later known as Saint Vitus' Dance, the saint being invoked against it. Francis of Assisi—Animals, Catholic Action It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching. Son of a rich cloth merchant. Misspent youth. Street brawler and some-time soldier. During an imprisonment in Perugia, he had a conversion experience, including a reported message from Christ calling him to leave this worldly life. Upon release, Francis began taking his religion seriously. Christopher—Drivers His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. George—Boy Scouts Several stories have been attached to Saint George, the best known of which is the Golden Legend.

  • Fourteen Holy Helpers (F.D
    FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS (F.D. AUGUST 8) (As used by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russian, Western Rite Vicariate) A group of saints invoked with special confidence because they have proven themselves efficacious helpers in adversity and difficulties, are known and venerated under the name Fourteen Holy Helpers. Devotion to these fourteen as a group spread in response to the Black Plague which devastated Europe from 1346 to 1349. Among its symptoms were the tongue turning black, a parched throat, violent headache, fever, and boils on the abdomen. It attacked without warning, robbed its victims of reason, and killed within a few hours; many died without the last Sacraments. Brigands roamed the roads, people suspected of contagion were attacked, animals died, people starved, whole villages vanished into the grave, social order and family ties broke down, and the disease appeared incurable. The pious turned to heaven, begging the intervention of the saints, praying to be spared or cured. This group devotion began in Germany. The names of the fourteen Saints varied from place to place, but the primary principle of their selection was the efficacy of their intercession against various diseases—most, but not all, were venerated as Martyrs. Typically named are the following Saints: Achatius (Agathius), Barbara, Blaise, Catherine of Alexandria, Christopher, Cyriacus, Dionysius (Denys), Erasmus (Elmo) of Formia, Eustace (Eustathius), George, Giles, Margaret of Antioch, Panteleimon, & Vitus. For one or other of the above were sometimes named Saints Anthony the Great, Leonard, Nicholas, or Sebastian. Sts. Christopher and Giles were invoked against the plague itself. St. Dionysius was prayed to for relief from headache, St.

  • A Letter from Our Pastor
    A Letter from our Pastor ... Dear Parishioners, Our Catholic faith has a lot of traditions that have arisen in the last 2,000 years. Some of these traditions possess a capital “T” which places them as part of the teaching authority of the Church granted by God to guide you and me on the path to the fullness of heaven. Some of these are the Canon of Scripture, belief in the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the Immaculate Conception, primacy of the Pope, validity of Matrimony and the many dogmas and doctrines handed down to you and me. These big “T” Traditions have staying power and are central to our faith. More common are small “t” traditions which have arisen over the centuries. Some of these traditions include our liturgical colors used at Mass. Different parts of our Catholic family from various parts of the world use different traditions than us in the west — not good or bad but different. The Eastern rites of the Church do things differently with the “t” traditions but are in union on the big “T” Traditions, thanks be to God. Many of the small “t” traditions, while not theologically demanded, are near and dear to our hearts. Some are ethnic in origin but still practiced by many, including St. Joseph Altars, baking special bread during Easter, white dresses and suits for first communion, expensive wedding dresses, and Quinceañeras. Small “t” traditions include crossing ourselves with holy water when entering church, having small holy water holders in the rooms of your house, praying the rosary, communion on the tongue, genuflecting, Roman collar, priests’ cassocks, the pope wearing white, etc.

  • Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church Newsletter February 7, 2021
    Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church Newsletter February 7, 2021 My Dear Parishioners, As the old saying goes, time flies. It seems like we just put away our Christmas decorations, and now we are already preparing for our observance of Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is in just two th weeks, on Wednesday, February 17 . In order to promote social distancing, we are adding two services to our traditional Ash Wednesday schedule. Masses on Ash Wednesday will be at 6:30 AM and 7:00 PM. There will also be 3 additional Services, 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, and 4:30 PM. The three services will be simple Liturgy of the Word services without music. Please see the bulletin, the e- newsletter, and the website for details. As with previous Lents, we will have the Stations of the Cross with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on the Fridays of Lent, at 7:00 PM in the Church. To help us further enter into Lent, we will again have a Parish Day of Reflection on Saturday, February 20. This year we are blessed to have Reverend Monsignor Thomas Flanigan as our Retreat Master. Msgr. Flanigan is the retired pastor of Corpus Christi Parish in Lansdale, and, interestingly, in the early 1970s, he lived in our rectory and said Mass in the old church and St. Patrick’s Mission as he taught at Archbishop Wood High School. So we are especially excited about Monsignor joining us this year. Please see the bulletin, the e-newsletter, and the web-site for details and please sign up.

  • The Choirs of St Vitus's Cathedral in Prague: a Marriage of Liturgy
    The Choirs of St Vitus’s Cathedral in Prague: A Marriage of Liturgy, Coronation, Royal Necropolis and Piety PETR ULIČNÝ St Vitus’ s Cathedral, founded in 1344, is a prime example of 14th-century cathedral Gothic, a product of the cooperation between the ingenious architect Peter Parler and his patron, Emperor Charles IV. The unusual layout consisted of a pair of choirs set side by side in the eastern section of the cathedral, an arrangement inspired by the earlier Romanesque double-choir basilica. One was dedicated to St Vitus and was used by the canons, the other to the Virgin Mary and operated by the mansionars. The royal and imperial necropolis was placed in the latter of the two choirs, with Charles IV’s tomb-chest protected by a sculptured canopy and surrounded by the cenotaphs of deceased family members and later kings and queens. The form of two choirs is probably the result of an extensive rearrangement of the earlier project com- pleted in the 1350s, when initial plans to locate the royal burial ground in the canons’ choir were abandoned. The main choir contained a tabernacle of remarkable design, dating from c. 1365. There may originally have been plans for a third choir to be built around the tomb of St Adalbert located in the middle of the nave, the work on which was initiated in 1392.1 keywords Prague, cathedral, choirs, liturgy, royal necropolis, coronation the foundation of st vitus’s two choirs ST VITUS’S CATHEDRAL in Prague is a building of fundamental importance in the history of the Central European Late Gothic architecture,2 partly due to its architect Peter Parler’s skilful adaptations of elements of the English Decorated style.3 The cathedral remains the subject of scholarly interest not only because of the outstanding and well-documented architecture, the patrons and architects behind its construction,4 but also because of the many extant liturgical books that contain descriptions of how the cathedral functioned.5 However, the cathedral’s furnishings and altars are preserved to a lesser extent.
