Working the soil to plant a garden, picking up litter along the sidewalk, and volunteering to maintain a park are sure ways to get your hands dirty. It’s a good kind of dirt, a result of good stewardship and living out the faith. Earth Day is Saturday, April 22. But in the , every day is an Earth Day, or it ought to be. The earth is part of God’s creation. In the book of Genesis, we learn about God’s plan for us to be caretakers of creation. The air we breathe, the land we live on, the water we drink are our responsibilities as caretakers. How are we doing so far? All of God’s creatures are part of creation. This includes you and other human beings. Are we creating a community of care? As you take part in Earth Day, learn more about the Church’s teaching on care for God’s creation.

Diocese of Columbus Child Protection Plan

It is the goal of the Diocese of Columbus to make the Church a place of safety: a place of prayer, ministry and comfort. Everyone who enters our churches, schools, or facilities must be confident in this. Not one child or young person should suffer from abuse while at Church. In order to assure the safety of our youth, the Diocese of Columbus has enacted a complete program of protection. As part of this program, the Diocese of Columbus will provide appropriate, just, and pastoral care for anyone who has suffered the crime of sexual abuse of a minor at the hands of diocesan clergy or church Golden Apple award recipient employees or volunteers.

Good Friday Walking Stations of the Cross Hundreds of Catholics from across the diocese walked through downtown Columbus for the Good Friday Walking Stations of the Cross on April 14. Participants stopped at 14 locations along the three-mile Way of the Cross to pray and reflect on Jesus Christ’s suffering and crucifixion, linking those events to current issues of social concern. Stops included the Ohio Statehouse, the Ohio Supreme Court, the Faith Mission homeless shelter, St. Lawrence Haven, and Topiary Park. An annual tradition since 1996, the Walking Stations of the Cross is co-sponsored by the diocesan Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry and Office for Social Concerns.

CHRISM MASS 2017

Photos, clockwise: (1) Bishop Frederick Campbell blesses the holy oils to be used in the diocese throughout the coming year at the annual at St. Joseph Cathedral on Tuesday, April 11. Also pictured in the foreground are (from left) Deacon Dan Hann, seminar- ian Stevan Loy, and Deacons Christopher Reis and Thomas Berg Jr. (2) Urns holding (from left) the Oil of the , the Oil of Chrism, and the Oil of the Catechumens.

(3) Volunteers, including (from left) Aaron Thornton, Sherri Dembinski, and Eric Frissora pour the consecrated oils into vessels brought to the Mass by priests from throughout the diocese for use in their parishes in the coming year. As the oils are blessed, we recall that we share in the anointing, healing, and ministry that flow from these oils as they are used in the sacraments of faith. The oils signify the charisms of the Church for healing (Oil of the Sick), consecration (Chrism), and faith building (Oil of the Catechumens). (4) The priests reaffirm their com- mitment to serve God, the bishop as shepherd of the diocese, and the people of the diocese. CT photos by Ken Snow 20 Catholic Times April 23, 2017
