Eore Ferrario, F.S.C.B R Dear Parishioners and visitors, Beginning January 1, 2020, deacon Bob will transition to a new schedule, in order to accommodate his desire to move to a part-time position. Deacon Bob has filled many Pastoral Ministry roles over the last several years at the Church of St. Peter. I still remember, with great joy, the first time I met deacon Bob along with Fr. Deziel. We, priests of the Fraternity of Saint Charles, were visiting the parish and deacon Bob was so helpful in introducing us to the parishioners and the history of this vibrant community. Deacon Bob has been such a great help to get to know better the culture here in Minnesota too. He lives his diaconate vocation in a generous and loving way, and he is full of zeal for the concerns of the Kingdom of God. During the last few months I had many beautiful conversations with Deacon Bob that brought me to acknowledge his desire to work less hours starting in January 2020. He will work approximately 28 hours per week. Deacon Bob will be in his office o Monday-Tuesday- Thursday of every week to still performing his duties as Pastoral Ministry, plus 10 hours monthly of diaconal service as the archdiocese asks to do for each deacon assigned at the parish decided in communion with the pastor. Deacon Bob will continue to focus on the Homebound, Visiting the Sick, Word and Communication Liturgies. Baptisms, classes and the Diakonia Fund will continue going through Deacon Bob. As we move forward Connie Roering will be the central contact for all funerals. She will be responsible for setting up the family meetings and working with all the clergy to communicate the appropriate information to the respective parties. Connie will be in charge of preparing a draft of a year span of Sunday second collections and activities from various groups in the parish. Fr. Pietro will be the contact person for the Sacrament of Marriage and be working closely with others for the preparation and work with assigning the mentor couples. Deacon Bob will still be accessible, just not as often. He will still serve Mass here with our clergy occasionally and will still be here in the office Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each week. May God bless abundantly deacon Bob and his wife Anne Bisciglia for all the hours of great services performed for the Glory of God here at St. Peter. Blessings Fr. Ettore Ferrario, F.S.C.B.

  • The History of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church 1909-1910
    History of NBVM 1 The History of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church 1909-1910 Compiled by Estrella Brown June 2010 In 1909, priests and their “Chapel Cars” who made their rounds through smaller towns held services in parishioners’ homes. During 1909, Reverend Fr. Servais from St. Patrick’s Parish in Portland held many of the services in the International Order of Odd Fellows Hall in the Dietz building at the corner of East Second and A Streets. According to the Catholic Sentinel, Jan 14, 1909, Rev. Father Servais celebrated mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month at both Rainier and Goble. From Feb. 24-28, 1909, Fr. O’Brien, O.P. of Portland gave a series of lectures at the I.O.O.F. Hall. The women of the parish were also very active during this year and formed the Catholic Ladies Aid Society. Besides this group, they also formed the Catholic Sewing Society and gave a Christmas bazaar in Dec. 1909. According to The Rainier Review in the Dec. 16, 1909 issue it was “one of the most successful bazaars ever held in this city…Under the efficient management of Mrs. Chas. Clark the bazaar was successfully carried out. Too much cannot be said of the valuable aid rendered by Mrs. Lee, Mrs. B. Clark, and Mrs. Sheerin, while Mesdames Chambers, O’Leary, Werthes and Vogal and the Misses O’Leary, Nema Brough and May Gallagher all assisted materially to make the bazaar a success. Contributions also came from Mesdames Simmons, David, Burns, Lowe, Flynn and Downing.” In August of 1909, Rev.

  • Power and Piety: Examining the Papal Tiara in The
    POWER AND PIETY: EXAMINING THE PAPAL TIARA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MODERN CHURCH By Manon Wogahn A senior thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Bachelor of Arts in Art History CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY Orange, California May 2018 1 The papal tiara has been a symbol of the papacy since its first appearance around the eighth century. The exact symbolism of the three-tiered crown is unknown; a popular interpretation is that it represents the three divisions of the Christian Church: the Church Militant, Church Penitent, and Church Triumphant. Also called the triregnum, the tiara was last worn in public in 1963 by Pope Paul VI, who later donated his crown for charity. Since then, the last four popes, including the current Pope Francis, have received tiaras but have never worn them publicly. This project analyzes the rejection of the papal tiara and of the coronation ceremony as a symbol of the changing values of the modern papacy relationship between the disappearance of the papal tiara and the changing values of the modern papacy after the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). By examining the history of Paul VI’s crown within the context of a centuries-old tradition, I show how the papal tiara has been transformed from a symbol of the pope’s temporal power into a representation of material wealth that has become incompatible with the image of modest piety promoted by the contemporary papacy. In the 2016 drama television series The Young Pope, the fictional American pontiff Pius XIII causes shock and unrest within the Vatican with his controversial conservative philosophies and rejection of his predecessor’s liberality.

  • Catholic Church December 15Th, 2019 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 3Rd Sunday of Advent
    Catholic Church December 15th, 2019 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 3rd Sunday of Advent How to foster true Christian joy on Gaudete Sunday Pope Benedict XVI distinguishes between worldly joy and the joy that endures. By: Philip Kosloski he Fourth Sunday of Advent is called Gaudete Sunday, referring to the opening Antiphon often sung at Mass, Gaudete in Domino semper (Rejoice in the Lord always). It is a day that signals the upcoming conclusion to the Advent season. For this reason, the Church urges the faithful to “rejoice,” as the time of penance and fasting is drawing to an end, making way for Christmas, a season of joy and feasting. However, what does the Church mean by joy? Pope Benedict XVI in an Angelus message in 2011, explained the difference between two types of joy. The liturgy of this Sunday, known as “Gaudete” Sunday, is a special invitation to us to joyfulness, to a vigilance that is not sad but happy. “Gaudete in Domino semper,” St. Paul wrote: “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Phil 4:4). True joy is not a fruit of “divertirsi” [having a good time] understood in the etymological sense of the word di-vertere (di-version), that is, shirking the commitments of life and one’s responsibilities. Ar¥icle cont’d inside True joy is linked to something deeper. Of course, in the all too often frenetic pace of daily life it is important to find time for rest and relaxation, but true joy is linked to our relationship with God. Those who have encountered Christ in their own lives feel a serenity and joy in their hearts that no one and no situation can take from them.
