SaturdaySaturday----SundaySunday www.findlaystmichael.org CLOSED ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC PARISH | FINDLAYSTMICHAEL.ORG From our pastor 03 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This weekend we kick o? Catholic Schools Week. School leadership has some exciting events planned for our students. One of those events is a Eucharistic procession through the halls, with Our Lord—in his Real Presence—stopping in each classroom to bless the students, teachers, and aides. This procession promises to be a glorious reminder of what makes Catholic schooling most special, a place where faith and reason are fully integrated, a place where souls are prepared for Eternal Life. On February 2nd we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. This feast is also known as “Candlemas”. We will bless candles at the morning Mass that day for both liturgical and home use. If you would like your candles blessed, please bring them to the 6:45 morning Mass, where there will be tables set up in the Narthex for you to place your candles upon. The candles will be blessed prior to our entrance procession and you can take them home once the liturgy is concluded. The Feast of the Presentation is also a time in which we pray for those in consecrated religious life. We keep in mind and heart our own Dominican sisters! We have some great volunteers in our parish who work in many diverse areas. On the liturgical side, I am grateful for our volunteers’ willingness to adopt the various liturgical changes I am introducing. Some of these changes are simple and easy to implement. Others require a bit of retraining for the people involved. Our good ministers have responded with “elan!” The most significant retraining is with the altar servers. For now, we will be working with those servers who were trained previously. Perhaps by late spring we can add a new class of servers, starting with fifth graders but including older students as well if they desire to join. I am also considering developing an additional ministry of young sacristans. My thought is to promote desperately needed priestly and religious vocations through these two ministries, as has been customary, by o?ering girls and boys distinct yet equally important tasks of service. More to come on that later. I have been very encouraged by our well-trained Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. In this area of service we will make only one small change starting in Lent. This change has to do with when the EMHCs come forward from the congregation to receive and then distribute the Blessed Sacrament. The rubrics call the ministers forth after the priest has completed his reception of Holy Communion. This is the timing we will follow starting on Ash Wednesday. The altar server will ring a bell at the time the priest receives the Precious Blood, and that will signal to the EMHCs that it is time to come forward. Otherwise, everything else regarding the role of the EMHC will remain the same. Thank you, again, for all your hard work in helping our sacred liturgies resemble a little bit of “heaven on earth”. In another area of parish life, I am happily working toward meeting with the three main advisory councils called for by canon law, namely Finance Council, Pastoral Council, and the School Advisory Council. No leader is successful without consulting wise and prudent people, and so I hold these advisory councils in high importance. I am grateful to those who serve in this role and look forward to receiving good counsel! Finally, Father Peter will be away on a workshop this week (Feb. 1-5). I will be away the week after, making my annual retreat (Feb. 8-12). Please keep us in your prayers during those times. We promise you our own! In the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Hertzfeld JANUARY 31, 2021 04 parish news MASS SCHEDULE UPDATES: 1. Beginning with the first Sunday of Lent (February 21) we will be o?ering a 9:00 AM Sunday Mass at the Downtown Church.
