Teachings You Must Know The Seven Sacraments: Baptism Confirmation Eucharist Penance Anointing of the Sick Matrimony Holy Orders The Ten Commandments: I am the Lord your God: you shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day. Honor your father and mother. You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against you neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not covet you neighbor's goods. The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom Understanding Counsel Fortitude Knowledge Piety Fear of the Lord Precepts of the Church: 2041 The precepts of the Church are set in the context of a moral life bound to and nourished by liturgical life. The obligatory character of these positive laws decreed by the pastoral authorities is meant to guarantee to the faithful the very necessary minimum in the spirit of prayer and moral effort, in the growth in love of God and neighbor: 2042 The first precept (“You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor”) requires the faithful to sanctify the day commemorating the Resurrection of the Lord as well as the principal liturgical feasts honoring the mysteries of the Lord as well as the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the saints; in the first place, by participating in the Eucharistic celebration, in which the Christian community is gathered, and by resting from those works and activities which could impede such a sanctification of these days. 82 The second precept (“You shall confess your sins at least once a year.”) ensures preparation for the Eucharist by the reception of the sacrament of reconciliation, which continues Baptism's work of conversion and forgivenes. 83 The third precept (“ You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season.”) guarantees as a minimum reception of the Lord's Body and Blood in connection with the Paschal feasts, the origin and center of The Christian Liturgy. 84 2043 The fourth precept (“You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church”) ensures the times of ascesis and penance which prepare us for the liturgical feasts and help us acquire mastery over our instincts and freedom of heart. 85 The fifth precept (“ You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church”) means that the faithful are obliged to assist with the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability. 86 The faithful also have the duty of providing for the material needs of the Church, each according to his abilities. 87 Steps to a Good Confession Know your sins (use your Examination of Conscience, Ten Commandments, precepts of the Church.) What sins must we bring to confession? (Mortal sins, and number or frequency.) We can also confess venial sins. We must be honest and not leave out any mortal sins intentionally. If you purposely withhold a mortal sin, you have made a bad confession and must confess this and your entire confession all over again. If you honestly forget to confess a mortal sin, then you can confess it next time you receive the Sacrament of Penance. Be sorry for your sins. Perfect Contrition is when we are sorry because our sins have offended God. Imperfect Contrition is when we are sorry for our sins for fear of God’s just punishment. Either is acceptable to receive the Sacrament of Penance, though we should strive for perfect contrition. Pray the Act of Contrition. Decide not to sin again. You should learn from your sins and not desire to repeat them. Think about how you can avoid these sins again and avoid opportunities for sin. Confess you sins to a priest in the Sacrament of Penance. The priest acts in the person of Christ and his Church. Jesus gave him the power to forgive your sins. The priest is bound by the sacramental seal never to tell your sins to anyone. You should be honest and humble when telling you sins to the priest. Accept absolution and do the penance that the priest assigns you. Doing your penance shows that you are serious about wanting to overcome your sin. Penance unites you to Jesus, who paid the full price for you sins by dying upon the Cross. The Rite of the Sacrament of Penance The penitent may choose to be face-to-face or anonymous behind a screen. 1. Make the sign of the Cross and say, “Bless me father, for I have sinned; it has been (how long) since my last confession.” 2. Confess your sins to the priest. 3. Listen to him and honestly answer any questions that he may have. 4. Receive your penance. 5. Make your Act of Contrition. 6. Receive absolution. 7. When you are dismissed, say thank you to Father and leave the confessional. Then go and do your penance. Basic Texts for the Roman Catholic Eucharist THE ORDER OF MASS This webpage contains the new English translation of the third edition of The Roman Missal, in use as of 11/27/11. This webpage is intended to help you become familiar with the "Order of Mass" used in the Roman Catholic Church. The texts and responses spoken by all the people are indicated in bold type below. Some of the greetings and prayers spoken by the presider (the priest or bishop) at each Mass are also included, in order to help you understand the structure and flow of the Mass more fully. The postures prescribed for Masses in the United States are indicated in small print. (Note: Standing, sitting, or kneeling during certain parts of the Mass may differ in other countries.) This webpage is not intended for priests to use in celebrating the Eucharist, since it does not include those texts which are different at each Mass, such as the three presidential prayers (the Collect, Prayer over the Offerings, and Prayer after Communion), or the readings used during the Liturgy of the Word. It also does not contain the full "rubrics" (the explicit instructions printed in red) of the Roman Missal, nor does it contain the brief prayers that priests are supposed to say "inaudibly" (just before and after proclaiming the Gospel, while mixing the water and wine, while washing their fingers, after the Breaking of the Bread, and just before and after receiving communion). The "Order of Mass" is based on the third edition of the Missale Romanum (The Roman Missal, revised by Decree of the Second Vatican Council and published by authority of Pope Paul VI).

  • February 13-14, 2021
    Saturday, February 13 2021 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday, February 14, 2021 MEMORARE STANDING Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

  • Act of Perfect Contrition & Spiritual Communion
    Perfect Contrition and Spiritual Communion What to do if you cannot go to Confession or Holy Communion due to the COVID-19 coronavirus If you have to self-isolate or are quarantined due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it is unlikely that you will be able to receive the sacraments as normal. In these circumstances, there are devotions through which you can receive absolution for your sins, (under certain conditions), and the consolation of Eucharistic grace. These devotions are officially encouraged by the Church and have been practiced by saints. How to make an Act of Perfect Contrition Through an act of Perfect Contrition, you receive pardon for your sins outside of confession, even mortal sins, on condition that you determine to amend your life and make a firm resolution to go to sacramental confession as soon as this becomes possible for you. Perfect Contrition is a grace from God, so sincerely ask for this gift throughout the day prior to making your act of contrition: “My God, grant me perfect contrition for all my sins”. 1. In reality or imagination kneel at the foot of a crucifix and say to yourself: “Jesus, my God and my Saviour, in the midst of your agony, you remembered me, you suffered for me, you wished to wipe away my sins”. 2. Contrition is ‘perfect’ if you repent of your sins because you love God and are sorry for offending Him and causing the sufferings of Christ on the cross. Before the Crucified Christ remember your sins, repent of them because they have brought our Lord to His sufferings on the Cross.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • Praying with Mary
    PRAYING WITH MARY MY PRAYER I Started Praying with Mary and This is What Happened by SARAH MCMAHON For a long time, I faked having a relationship with Mary. Even after I had a relationship with God, and leadership roles at my parish I just didn’t give it much thought. I didn’t even know how to correctly say the rosary until I did summer missions in college. So many women in my life told me about their incredible devotion to Our Lady and I just didn’t get it. I thought maybe Mary picked favorites. That some people could have a relationship with her, and some people just didn’t make the cut. I figured I would just keep praying the same way I always had and if Mary wanted to pick me, she would. I did the consecration to Jesus through Mary for the first time my sophomore year of college. Even then, nothing really seemed to click for me. I posted a photo at the end of it that made me look super cool and Marian grace filled but in reality, I didn’t feel like anything had changed. My roommate had an incredible relationship with Mary and that added to the mystery surrounding Our Blessed Mother for me. I wanted the relationship my roommate had but had no idea how to get there. After many rosaries, consecrations, and discussions, it ended up just being the Holy Spirit that led me to Mary. Go figure. I was in the chapel after a particularly frustrating few months in my relationship with the Lord.

  • Magnificat Celebration of the Word 4-5-2020
    CELEBRATION OF THE WORD Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord This is a celebration of the Word to aid your worship this Sunday, alone or with family. If possible, place a simple cross or crucifix prominently in the room and light one or more candles. You can also place an image of the Virgin Mary there if possible. As a family, choose the one who leads the prayer, and someone to do the readings. Whoever leads the prayer can say: On Palm Sunday, we recognize that Jesus’ full glory and kingship would only come about when he was lifted up. “Our heart feels a joy mixed with sadness at sight of the Master’s seemingly ephemeral triumph, prelude of suffering and death” (Archbishop Luis Martínez). But joy and sadness are dispositions of a holy soul. We can grieve over sin, suffering, and evil, but rejoice with the full conviction that faith gives us— Christ will conquer. Thus, our greatest sorrow and shame is our great relief—the Cross. Finally, Jesus’ experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us strength to endure the caprices and injustices of our own life. Sign of the Cross After a moment of silence, let everyone begin by making the Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hymn Choose an appropriate hymn. We place ourselves before the Lord, beginning with an act of contrition: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and fai- ling to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.

  • Novena for Vocations (PDF)
    Novena for Vocations A novena is a special form of prayer, where on nine successive days, a prayer is said for some special occasion or intention. The practice of saying novenas is scripturally based, modeled after the nine days of consecutive prayer that the apostles, Blessed Mother, and other followers of Jesus prayed together in the upper room between Jesus’ ascension into heaven and the decent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Prayed in communion with the saints, novenas often petition the intercession of specially selected saints (our exemplary role models in faithful living). Let us pray together, with the angels and saints, for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Let us also pray for all the vocations: for holy marriages in the Church, for deacons, and those that dedicate their lives to Christ in the single life. May the Lord of the harvest send many to work in His vineyard! Day 1: Sunday St. Rubin and St. Edward With special focus on the virtues of purity and chastity Saint Rubin of Syria and Saint Edward the Confessor, I implore your intercession today for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. St. Rubin, you stood atop a pillar preaching, fasting, and praying with complete abandonment of self. St. Edward, first English king to attain sainthood, you ruled with renowned piety and generosity, despite the dark times of treachery and greed in which you lived, and remained chaste throughout your life. May your examples of piety, chastity, and selfless devotion to Christ, our youth and to an ever deepening devotion to Christ and the Church.
