What an amazing realization of how we are connected together as a society and as a global community. “With a blessing to have a job” and a day of rest on this Labor Day - September 6th, we give thanks to our God. Let’s also be mindful of those who have lost their jobs and those who are struggling to find a job in this difficult time. May we reach out with our own blessing, in order to help others in need and pray that those who are seeking jobs may be able to find one soon. Labor Day weekend is also a transitions time from a “Summer schedule” to a “full school schedule” and in addition to many of our parish programs to start up as well. Please, take notice in the weekly bulletin for detail information on these parish programs. Please take the time to talk and share ideas about Faith Formation with our Team - Michael Zosel and Annie Kudrna. ---Reflecting from Scripture Readings this week, the prophet Isaiah (35: 4-7) encountered a dispirited community of exiles. Isaiah respond- ed by recalling the joyous memories of the Exodus from Egypt. A second Exodus is in store, symbolized by the healing granted to the blind, the lame, and the mute and new life to the dead. Delivered and saved by God, all peoples shall return to their own land by way of the desert, in a new exodus. Isaiah's prediction of this abundant, new life underlies Mark's understanding of Jesus' cure of "a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech" (Mark 7: 31-37). The healing stories reflect Jesus' intimate, powerful relationship with God and his great compassion. He healed with words, touch and physical means. Physical deafness and spiritual deafness are alike; Jesus confronted one type in the man born deaf, the other type in the Pharisees and others who were unreceptive of his message. We are blind and deaf when we show favoritism or discrimination because of the status and wealth of other people (James 2: 1-5). We are deaf when we do not hear the cry for help raised to us and we prefer to put indifference between our neighbor and ourselves. We are deaf when turn inward and close ourselves to the world because of selfishness, pride, resentment, anger, jealousy and our inability to forgive others. ---The RCIA Team is hard at work - prepare for the men and women who are exploring the Catholic Faith in this coming year. If you ever been asked to share or explain your faith and hesitate of how to start …!!! Come and join with “other inquirers” to learn, share and refresh the gift of our Catholic faith. Please talk to the RCIA Team Members. ---Last but not least, September 8th is the Birthday of our Blessed Mother, Mary. Do something wonderful to celebrate her special day. Christ’s Peace, Fr.

  • Liturgy of the Eucharist
    1 Our Lady of Perpetual Help (June 18th, 2018) Part II: Liturgy of the Eucharist and Concluding Rite Introduction: Below you will find a detailed explanation of Part II: Liturgy of the Eucharist and Concluding Rite of the Mass, to assist you in learning more about the Mass and the changes that have occurred with the implementation of the third edition of the Roman Missal since Advent of 2011. This explanation was written by Fr. Victor De Gagné, The Prayer Intentions concludes the Liturgy of the Word and the focus of the Mass now shifts to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Liturgy of the Eucharist: -The Collection & the Offering of the Gifts The collection and the offering of the bread and wine have been present in Christian worship since the very beginning. The gifts of the community are presented to the priest for the needs of the Church and of the poor. Justin the Martyr describes this collection and offering of gifts in his letter dating from the 2nd century: “Then someone brings bread and wine to him who presides over the assembly. They who have the means, give freely what they wish; and what is collected is placed in reserve with the presider, who provides help to the orphans, widows, and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in need, and prisoners, and traveling strangers; in a word, he takes care of all who are in need.” By the collection, we exercise Christian charity; sharing our blessings with those who have nothing. -The Preparation of the Gifts Once the gifts of bread and wine have been carried to the altar, the priest offers a prayer of blessing to God for his generosity, for the produce of the earth and for human labour which have created the gifts to be used for the Eucharist.

  • Altar Server Guide R2
    Altar Server Guide Altar Server Rolls: • Master of Ceremony (MC) • Cross • Candles (2) • Water & Wine • Book (Roman Missal) • Bells (1) I. INTRODUCTORY RITE PROCESSION All altar servers gather in the narthex at the front of the church approximately 5 minutes before the Mass is scheduled to begin. Cross brings the cross and Candles (2) bring the candles with them to the narthex. (MC brings a lighter in case the candles go out) Cross leads the procession to the altar. Candles/Water & Wine follow Cross. Bell follows Candle/ Water. Book follows Candle/Wine. Additional altar servers follow Bell and Book. When the procession reaches the top of the altar, the altar servers who are not carrying anything make a slight bow to the altar and go to their places. Cross and Candle/Wine go to the right. Book after bowing goes directly to the chair next to the book stand. Cross places the cross in the cross holder and remains on the presider side of the altar. Candle/Wine places the candles in the candle holders next to the altar and then go to a place on the credence table side of the altar. Bell also goes to a place on the credence table side of the altar. Any remaining altar servers will go to assigned spaces. All altar servers remain standing praying and singing with the people (congregation). The priest(s) and deacon(s) follow in procession. When they reach the altar they bow. They continue to the rear of the altar and reverence the altar. The presider and deacon(s) proceed to the presiders area.

Schulte, Professor of Sacred Liturgy in the Seminary of St. Charles Borromeo, Overbrook, is about to publish several works on the Rites and Ceremonies of some of the principal Functions of the Roman Pontifical and Roman Ritual. From what we have read of this addition to our liturgical literature, we feel safe in recommending it to the clergy of the Archdiocese. Father Schulte has made this depart- ment of sacred science a special study for several years and has been eminently successful in conveying to others his knowledge of its details. An extensive, exhaustive, and practical treatise is the natural outcome of such applied qualifications on the part of the gifted and indus- trious author. Hence our recommendation. *h Patrick John Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia. CONTENTS.

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing bells, setting up, cleaning up, and so on. Until 1983, only young men whom the Church sometimes hoped to recruit for the priesthood and seminarians could serve at the altar, and thus altar boy was the usual term until Canon 230 was changed in the 1983 update to the Code of Canon which provided the option for local ordinaries (bishops) to permit females to serve at the altar. The term altar server is now widely used and accepted. When altar servers were only young men and seminarians the term acolyte was used. An acolyte is one of the instituted orders which is installed by a bishop. The title of acolyte is still only given to men as it is historically a minor order of ordained ministry. This term is now usually reserved for the ministry that all who are to be promoted to the diaconate receives at least six months before being ordained a deacon (c.

  • 1: the SITE of a CHURCH the First Thing to Do When Building a Church
    1 1: THE SITE OF A CHURCH The first thing to do when building a church is for the Bishop and the architect he has commissioned and approved to choose the most suitable site. It is particularly important that the location of the church, wherever it is built, should be up high. If this location is completely level, it should at least be sufficiently prominent so that access to the church will be by three or at the most five steps. If the topography is such that there is no more elevated part, then the church should be built on a base so that it will be raised and rise up over the plain, and the floor will be reached by means of those three or five steps.{1} So that there will be greater veneration in the church and to keep it, insofar as possible, far from all noise which might disturb the divine offices, care must also be taken in choosing the site that it be far from muddy and dirty areas, from all kinds of filth, stables, sheep pens, taverns, forges, shops, and markets of all kinds. Places of this kind should also be far from the surrounding areas of the church. Care must also be taken in choosing the site for the church that the building will appear as a separate block, that is unconnected to and separated from the walls of the surrounding buildings by a space of several paces, as will be explained further on with regard to the street, as established by the ancients and required by correct criteria.

  • Liturgical Manual for Deacons
    Liturgical Manual For Deacons ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF PHOENIX 2012 REVISION PREFACE OF AD 2007 This liturgical guide for deacons was developed to be a practical tool for the preparation of deacon candidates and for the on-going formation of those already ordained to the diaconate. It is a teaching resource for candidates and deacons. It is also intended to be a reference for pastors who have deacons assigned to the parish and especially for priest celebrants who have deacons assisting them at Mass. The aspiration is this document will help unfold the beauty of the sacred liturgy, promote understanding, prayerfulness, reverence, and unity in the liturgical service of deacons. This guide is intended to be a “living document” which will be reviewed, amended, and revised as needed to remain accurate, current, and useful. It will always be a work in progress as new and better ways are found to form deacons liturgically. The steps leading to the development of this guide were begun by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted with his authorization of a study committee to facilitate the revision of the 1994 Liturgical Handbook for Deacons, which had become outdated. His directions to the committee were to draft a liturgical guide which (1) involved consultation with the primary stakeholders, (2) was developed under the leadership of the Office of Worship and facilitated by the Office of the Diaconate, (3) which included consultation with an outside expert in liturgy and the diaconate, and (4) was practical for the use of deacon candidates, deacons, priests, pastors and the bishop. Members of the study committee were Roslyn Gutierrez, past Director of the Office of Worship, Sr.

  • Proceedings of the United States National Museum
    DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTION OF ECCLESIASTICAL ART IN THE UNITED STATES NA- TIONAL MUSEmi. By I. M. Casanowicz. Assistant Curator, Division of Old World Archeology, United States National Museum. INTRODUCTION. The collection of Ecclesiastical Art forms part of the section of the History of Religions which is on exhibition in the old building of the National Museum. It comprises church furnitures, as far as they are embellished by art, aj^purtenances of the public worship, and objects used in individual devotions and on special occasions, and is obviously confined to the illustration of the ceremonies and usages of the ritual branches of Christendom—that is, the Roman Catholic and eastern churches. Of the former the collection is quite repre- sentative, occupying an alcove of three cases. Of the eastern churches there is a small collection of the Greek Orthodox Church, mostly of the Russian division of that denomination, and of the Armenian Church, filling one case. Much material of the collection remains, for lack of exhibition space, in storage. The description is accordingly divided into—I. Ecclesiastical Art of the Roman Catholic Church; II. Of the Eastern Church; and III. Of the Armenian Church. I. ECCLESIASTICAL ART OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. PARAPHERNALIA OF THE CHURCH SERVICES. SERVICE OF THE MASS. The service of the mass is, according to the teaching of the Catholic Church, a perpetual repetition of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The bread and wine are, by the words of consecration pronounced by the priest, changed into the real body and blood of Christ (trans- substantiation), and Christ thus offers himself each time anew through the priest, his representative on earth, and is partaken of in the communion.
