Part-Time Custodians OUR PASTOR’S BLOG Divine Mercy Today, the Church throughout the world acknowledges the gift of God’s mercy for us. The day, referred to as Divine Mercy Sunday, has grown in devotion throughout recent decades. Popularized by Saint John Paul II, people will offer holy hours, divine mercy chaplets and honor the image of Divine Mercy. Our Divine Mercy image hangs in the church above the devotional candles. While we have done Divine Mercy holy hours in years past, this year we will not have that devotion because of the scheduling conflict with Confirmations and First Communions. Nonetheless, I hope that you will find a way to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. To that end, I have pasted some of the history of this beautiful day below. “In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Today, we know that feast as Divine Mercy Sunday, named by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000… The Lord expressed His will with regard to this feast in His very first revelation to St. Faustina… In all, St. Faustina recorded 14 revelations from Jesus concerning His desire for this feast… Nevertheless, Divine Mercy Sunday is not a feast based solely on St. Faustina's revelations. Indeed, it is not primarily about St. Faustina — nor is it altogether a new feast. The Second Sunday of Easter was already a solemnity as the Octave Day of Easter. The title "Divine Mercy Sunday" does, however, highlight the meaning of the day.” (thedivinemercy.org on 4/5/21) -Fr. Thuerauf Congratulations to all those who will receive The Adoration Chapel News: Can their First Holy Communion and Confirmation you spend some time in the Adoration Chapel on Divine Mercy Sunday: on a weekly or monthly basis?

  • St. Luigi Scrosoppi of Udine Catholic.Net
    St. Luigi Scrosoppi of Udine Catholic.net Youngest of three brothers born to Domenico Scrosoppi, a jeweler, and Antonia Lazzarini; his brother Carlo was ordained when Luigi was six, and his brother Giovanni several years later. When Luigi was 11 or 12 years old, his home region was struck by drought, famine, typhus, and smallpox in quick succession; the sight of such misery, complete poverty, and the number of orphans had a lasting effect on the boy. In his teens, Luigi felt a call to the priesthood, and he entered the same seminary as his brother Giovanni. Deacon in 1826; ordained on March 31, 1827 at the cathedral in Udine; he was assisted at his first Mass by his brothers. Director of the Pious Union of the Heart of Jesus Christ. Helped manage the children‘s center run by his brother Carlo. Franciscan tertiary. Assistant director of Carlo’s orphanage in 1829. The orphanage fell on harder times than usual; Luigi, in desperation, hit the streets to beg for their support, and the school soon had a great lesson in faith – and enough money to buy their building. As there were more orphans than space, the brothers decided to enlarge the house; Luigi went through the countryside to beg building materials and labor. Work began in 1834 with Luigi coordinating, begging, supervising, and working construction; it was completed in 1836, and named the House for the Destitute. That year also saw another cholera epidemic, and the orphanages, again, were full. The need of the orphans, and the constant work of the brother priests, attracted the attention of several area women who were also working with the poor and the abandoned.

  • Koch Foundation 2012 Annual Report
    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but financially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director The Holy Father has called for a Year of Faith from 11 October 2012 until 24 November 2013, the Solemnity of Christ the King. This Year of Faith coincides with two important anniversaries of our Church: the 50th anniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II, called by Blessed Pope John XXIII on 11 October 1962 and the 20th anniversary of the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church by Blessed Pope John Paul II on 11 October 1992. Pope Benedict XVI encourages each of us to familiarize ourselves with some of the basic documents that followed the council. He suggests we begin with Gaudium Et Spec and include some of the encyclicals of John Paul II, such as Laboren Exercents and Sollicitude Rei Socialis. Participation in these components of the Year of Faith will provide us, as Disciples of Christ, with the means to enhance our understanding of the foundations of our faith. Becoming familiar with the Catechism of the Catholic Church during the Year of Faith will lead us naturally to be more effective witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Academy of the Annunciation began here at the end of last year when Bishop Philip came to the Oratory to celebrate the Diocesan Mass of Thanksgiving for the Canonization of our Oratorian Cardinal, Saint John Henry Newman. The Advent Study Day was enthusiastically received by a mixture of Bournemouth Parishioners and students from other dioceses. As we enter upon the Academy’s first year, you are invited to come on a course - outlined overleaf - take some brochures from the back of Church to promote among your friends, visit the website, and meet our now resident Doctors of ! Theology after Sunday Mass over coffee and cake. Visit: www.aoa-edu-com THE GOD WHO SPEAKS ~ YEAR OF THE WORD: The Academy’s first year topics respond particularly to the Bishops of England & Wales dedicating this year to Sacred Scripture, and in 2021 will focus on Bishop Philip’s follow-on initiative of a Year of the Eucharist. THE REDEDICATION OF ENGLAND AS THE DOWRY OF MARY, announced on 1st January 2020 (Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God), by the Catholic Bishops of England & Wales, invites us all to rejoice in our Catholic history. Pope Leo XIII said: “When England comes back to Walsingham, then Our Lady will come back to England.” Our Academy of the Annunciation is under the patronage of Our Lady of Walsingham (“England’s Nazareth” and our National Marian Shrine) to which we are arranging a pilgrimage later this year for our Parish and the Academy.

JUSTIN’S BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES AND FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES The Lord does not create people just to occupy space. God has a plan, a vocation, a mission for every human being. Many of today’s problems are caused by the fact that people are more con- cerned about finding a job, a profession, or a career, rather than their own vocation and mission in life. A profession or career is something we do to live, to earn what we need in order to live. Vocation is something we do out of dedication and love. A profession can be chosen or inspired by our family or by human considerations but a vocation comes from on high and invites us to loving service of our neighbor.

  • Bishops Must Heed Voices Olaii Peopie
    The Denver Catholic Register DENVER, COLO., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1978 VOL. LIU NO. 44 Colorado's Largest Weekly 20 PAGES 25 CENTS PER COPY In Seeking the Echo of the Word of God Bishops Must Heed Voices olAii Peopie By Ethel Gintoft MILWAUKEE ( NC) — Bishops must heed the multiplicity of voices which all have a clear claim to their care, and try to determine whether they echo the word of God, Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minn., said at the Catholic Theological Society of America’s annual convention in Milwaukee. In a major address to the convention, the archbishop described the various voices that a bishop must listen to — some of them strident, some angry and bitter, some learned, some flowing out of deep pain. First is the voice of God through Scripture and tradition, “ a continual source for prayer and preaching and decision-making for a bishop,” said Archbishop Roach, vice president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. “ The Holy Spirit, who inspired the sacred writers, is continually at work in the faithful transmission of the word of God.” A big and constant danger, he said, is that the bishop will not be quiet enough to hear the small voices, the muted ones, through which God has spoken often through the centuries. These people need to be heard and sometimes even prompted to speak — the poor, oppressed, unborn, aged, parents, those in pain, and even those of little faith. Another important voice is that of theologians and philosophers. “ A bishop would be a fool not to turn to his body of theologians regularly,” he said, “ since he rarely has time to pursue in depth their varied voices.” .

  • Riflessione Sulla Spiritualità Di S. Luigi Scrosoppi in Occasione Del II Centenario Della Nascita (1804-2004)
    Riflessione sulla spiritualità di S. Luigi Scrosoppi in occasione del II Centenario della nascita (1804-2004) [ Italiano - Español - English ] 1. “Padre Luigi entra nella Congregazione dell’Oratorio e ne fa un dinamico centro di irradiazione di vita spirituale” rilevava il Santo Padre nell’omelia della beatificazione, il 4 ottobre 1981. La scelta dell’Oratorio, a leggere nella vita di Padre Luigi il riferimento agli anni della sua infanzia ed ai primi anni del sacerdozio, non risulta sorprendente. Se “quasi natus”, come dicono da sempre le Costituzioni oratoriane, è la condizione di chi è chiamato all’Oratorio, Luigi Scrosoppi si presenta con le migliori credenziali. Egli conobbe la “scuola” di Padre Filippo fin dall’infanzia; si può dire che crebbe alla “scuola” di San Filippo. Il fratello P. Carlo, nato dal primo matrimonio della madre e di quattordici anni maggiore di Luigi, era stato costretto a ritirarsi in famiglia a causa della soppressione della Congregazione dell’Oratorio in cui era entrato nel 1809 con un vero atto di coraggio, dal momento che sull’Oratorio di Udine la bufera già si addensava: Napoleone Bonaparte si era annesso nel 1805 il Friuli ed era iniziata, anche in queste terre, la nefasta opera di smantellamento delle Comunità religiose. Al maturare della vocazione oratoriana giovò profondamente a Luigi il contatto con il fratello, apprezzato confessore e maestro di spirito, a cui egli guardò per tutta la vita con rispetto riverenziale; e giovò pure la frequentazione assidua della chiesa di S. Maddalena, vero centro di fervida spiritualità, in cui i Padri, pur costretti a vivere senza la propria Comunità, continuarono a svolgere l’attività pastorale.

  • THE BOURNEMOUTH ORATORY in Formation
    THE BOURNEMOUTH ORATORY in Formation Sacred Heart, Bournemouth & University Catholic Chaplaincy served by the Fathers and Brothers of the Oratorian Community of Saint Philip Neri ______________________________________________________ Monthly Newsletter ~ JANUARY 2018 ______________________________________________________ Dear Friends, ORATORIANS LAUNCH INITIAL 3 YEAR PLAN of Renewal, Rededication and Mission The start of a New Year gives us all an opportunity for a new start and, after these past seven months since our arrival on 31st May, it is time to move forward with an initial three year programme (followed by strategic development plans for future five year periods) so that we have direction, purpose and structure for the future of the Oratory, the Parish, and our mission here. 2018 will be our Parish Year of Renewal, 2019 a Year of Rededication, and 2020 a Year of Mission. This three year initial programme is designed to build on Bishop Philip’s vision for our Diocese of Bringing People to Jesus through His Church, incorporates his four priorities (mission / evangelization, converting Catholics, trust in God, and looking outwards), and draws on his Christmas gift book “Rediscover Jesus”, to renew our relationship with Jesus and His Church. The Fathers and Brothers of the Oratory are immensely appreciative of the warm welcome which we have received, and the positive and cooperative attitude of so many at Sacred Heart. The recent Parish Census indicators of increased participation, and increased giving in response to ‘Stewardship Sunday’ bode well for the future. While there’s still some way to go to meet the day-to-day expenditure, the separate Parish Development Fund (‘extra money for extra things') enables projects to proceed to enhance the church, for example, with Phase 2 of our restored main entrance on Richmond Hill (which completes the recent disabled-ramp access and new signage) with interior air-lock glass doors to keep the cold out! The organ restoration should be completed early in the New Year.
