A Saintly Space The 6 1966-201 50th A nniversaryCatholicWitness The Newspaper of the Diocese of Harrisburg November 11, 2016 vol. 50 No. 21 Pauline Center in Kulpmont Offers A Saintly Space By Jen Reed The Catholic Witness A trove of first-class relics of saints, dating back to the time of Christ all the way through to the present day, awaits visitors to the St. Pauline Center in Kulpmont, Northumberland County. The interior of the center, situated in the former St. Casimir Church on Chestnut Street, is adorned with more than 100 relics and numerous statues, paintings and artifacts of saints. Among them: St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Stephen, St. Jude, St. Stanislaus, St. John Neumann, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Pio of Pietrelcina, St. Blaise, St. Peregrine, St. Francis of Assisi, St. John Paul II, St. Anne, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Bernadette, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Maria Goretii and St. Teresa of Calcutta. Featured among them is St. Pauline Visintainer, foundress of the Congrega- tion of the Little Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and patron saint of diabetics. St. Pauline, a native of Italy who moved with her family to Brazil, where she began to care for the sick, was canonized on May 19, 2002. Upon receiving a first-class relic of Mother Pauline following her beatification in 1991, her cousin, Al Visintainer, of nearby Mount Carmel, undertook efforts to find a place to honor her, and The Pauline Center was eventually established. Chairs and kneelers are placed throughout the center, to give visitors space to pray. “When people are here looking for help and asking for a saint’s intercession, they have the time and space they need,” said Bob Grecco, a longtime member of the Mother Pauline Visintainer Religious Foundation, which oversees the center. The center also offers a summer camp for children with diabetes. In addition to the 100-plus relics, the center is also home to processional crosses of closed churches, statues depicting the life of Christ, and a chapel where Benediction takes place every Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m., led by Father Andrew Stahmer, pastor of Holy Angels Parish in Kulpmont, who, as pastor of Holy Angels, is entrusted with the oversight of the center. Most of the relics and religious pieces were acquired from monasteries that were closed, from donations, and from the center’s membership in the Na- tional Association of Shrines and Pilgrimages. Recently, the Diocese of Harrisburg approved the St. Pauline Center as a pil- grimage site, allowing for the celebration of Mass and the Sacrament of Rec- onciliation for pilgrim groups visiting the center. Groups interested in making a pilgrimage there should contact 570-373-3350. The center is located at 1150 Chestnut Street in Kulpmont.

On June 20th, our first parish meeting was held in the Family Center. There were some 55 people in attendance. To prepare for the parish meeting a survey was posted on the parish website and available for parishioners to answer. Some submitted an available paper survey. The results are posted on the parish web site and will remain available for anyone to consult throughout the year. Some 58 persons answered the survey. The results ran to some 50+ pages. A synthesis of the material will be posted on the website soon. However, I urge everyone to read the survey responses. All of the responses were well thought out and cogently expressed. There seems to be a remark- able consensus on many mattes and a thoughtful disagreement on others. At the parish meeting, fortunately, it turns out; I was not able to present a synthesis of the survey because I could not hook up my laptop to the projector. As a happy consequence the conversation among the participants begins right away, based upon what they wanted to express and not as a response to my presentation. The conversation was spirited and fruitful. Participants focused on three overriding issues: faith formation, stabilizing our financial situation, and outreach in general but particularly to youth and young adults. A variety of views were expressed and differences were very respectfully express and received.

  • How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?
    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

  • Faith Formation Resource to Welcome Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin As the Sixth Archbishop of Newark
    1 Faith Formation Resource to Welcome Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin as the Sixth Archbishop of Newark This catechetical tool is available for use throughout the Archdiocese of Newark to provide resources for catechists to seize this teachable and historical moment. The objectives are listed by grade level and were taken from the Catechetical Curriculum Guidelines for the Archdiocese of Newark. Let us keep our new Archbishop in prayer. Kindergarten Focus - Many Signs of God’s Love Scripture – Genesis 1:31 – God looked at everything He had made, and found it very good. Objective: To help children grow in their understanding of the People of God as God’s family and as a sign of God’s love. Some ideas: o Share pictures of your parish pastor, Cardinal Tobin, and Pope Francis; Explain that they each serve God and our Catholic family in a special way, and Cardinal Tobin is now serving God in a special way as our new Archbishop. o Point out the Scarlet red color as a sign of being a Cardinal o Use the Cardinal and Pope Craft for Catholic Kids activity o Pray for Cardinal Tobin and the Archdiocese of Newark. For discussion: o Does God love us very much? (Yes) o How much does God love us? (Spread your arms wide to show how big God’s love is) o Because God loves us, He sends us good people to lead us in our Church, like Cardinal Tobin, our new Archbishop. o Let’s pray for Cardinal Tobin, and give thanks to God for His love.

  • Symbols of the Bishop
    SYMBOLS OF THE BISHOP THE BISHOP'S CHAIR The cathedral houses the bishop's throne, or cathedra, (which is the Latin word for "seat" or "chair"). In the ancient world, the chair was not only the symbol of a teacher but also of a magistrate. Thus, the cathedra symbolizes the bishop’s role as teacher and as the governing authority of the diocese. CROSIER The crosier is a pastoral staff that is conferred on bishops (and abbots). The top of the staff is curved to remind the bishop of the shepherd’s crook and of his pastoral care of the people entrusted to him. It symbolizes the bishop’s duty to keep watch over his whole flock, sustaining the weak and wavering, solidifying the faith, and leading those gone astray back into the true fold. ZUCCHETTO The zucchetto is a skullcap worn as part of the liturgical and choir dress of the pope, cardinals, bishops, abbots and priests. During the 13th century, it was developed to cover the tonsure (portion of hair that is shaved when a man entered into the clerical state.) The pope wears a white zucchetto; cardinals, a red zucchetto; and bishops, a purple zucchetto. Black is reserved for all others. PECTORAL CROSS The pectoral cross is worn by the pope, cardinals, bishops and abbots. Tradition holds that reliquaries of the True Cross were worn over the heart; hence, the modern day custom of it being worn over the breast (pectus). The pectoral cross reflects the dignity of the office of bishop or abbot. The cross is either worn suspended from a ceremonial cord at liturgical services or on a chain with his clerical suit.

  • Crusades 1 Crusades
    Crusades 1 Crusades The Crusades were a series of religious expeditionary wars blessed by the Pope and the Catholic Church, with the main goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. The Crusades were originally launched in response to a call from the leaders of the Byzantine Empire for help to fight the expansion into Anatolia of Muslim Seljuk Turks who had cut off access to Jerusalem.[1] The crusaders comprised military units of Roman Catholics from all over western Europe, and were not under unified command. The main series of Crusades, primarily against Muslims, occurred between 1095 and 1291. The Battle of Ager Sanguinis, 1337 miniature Historians have given many of the earlier crusades numbers. After some early successes, the later crusades failed and the crusaders were defeated and forced to return home. Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by taking vows;[2] the Pope granted them plenary indulgence.[3] Their emblem was the cross—"crusade" is derived from the French term for taking up the cross. Many were from France and called themselves "Franks," which became the common term used by Muslims.[4] At the time Christianity had not yet divided into the large number of geographically intermingled branches later formed, the (western) Catholic and (eastern) Byzantine churches being the main groups; the Crusaders simply considered themselves to be "Christian" rather than Muslim. The term "crusade" is also used to describe religiously motivated campaigns conducted between 1100 and 1600 in territories outside the Levant[5] usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication[6] for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons.[7] Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rûm during the Fifth Crusade.

  • Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016)
    JUNE 22, 2016 Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016) This post may come as bad news, at least for "foodies" visiting Stockholm in July and early August. Many top tier restaurants (Michelin star, gourmet) close for a few weeks during the summer. This is mainly due to the generous Swedish vacation rules leading many top restaurants to feel that they can't offer excellent food & service with summer replacement staff. Another reason, perhaps, is that many Stockholmers leave the city during this period and there aren't enough visiting "foodies" to fill these types of restaurants to make it profitable. No businessmen in town either... wining & dining clients. At any rate, the good news is that there are a few which will be open all summer and several other top restaurants have some other options during these weeks... and you always have a plethora of other great restaurants in the city to choose from! Most of these restaurants are also closed during the big Midsummer holiday weekend (June 24th-26th). Michelin star and Bib Gourmand restaurants: • Mathias Dahlgren- closed between July 15th and August 9th (both the Dining Room and the Food Bar). • Frantzén- closes on July 9th. Reopening at a new & better location in 2017! • Oaxen Krog- open all summer as normal. • Oaxen Slip- open all summer... every day for lunch & dinner. • Gastrologik- open all summer, though their more casual Speceriet will be closed until the beginning of August for renovations. • Ekstedt- closed between July 17th and August 5th. • Esperanto- the dining room is closed between June 24th and August 5th.
