The Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledged campaign commitment where you can make a gift payable in installments. A pledge is a promise to make a gift over a span of time. Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, follow me...and heal the world.” Once we reach our parish goal of $68,000 in paid pledges, any additional funds come back to our parish to help fund our needs. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. For those of you who did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend. Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Across these past years, the Archdiocese of Chicago has engaged the process of Renew My Church to ensure a stronger future for our local Church. In the coming year, with God’s help, that process will continue. The 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal is tied closely to the journey of renewal. This year, the Appeal calls us to share in Jesus’ mission to bring healing and transformation to our fragile and wounded world. By supporting the Appeal, you join hands with other Catholics in the archdiocese and reach out with healing to parishes and Catholic schools in need, religious education programs, ministry formation, and initiatives to address violence and to foster justice, peace, and respect for life. Our helping hands through the Appeal also reach out on a global scale to support Catholic Relief Services. God bless you for joining this important effort. And may God keep you and all your oved ones in his abiding care.

  • St. James Community of Faith the Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016
    St. James Community of Faith The Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016 Ministry, is first of all, receiving God’s blessing from those to whom we minister. What is this blessing? It is a glimpse of the face of God. ~Henri Nouwen Acolyte Ministry You are volunteering as a server at church. You light candles, hold the books, handle the vessels, and arrange the cloths. You help the other ministers focus on their work by simplifying their motions and eliminating distractions. You help the entire community celebrate Eucharist by your humble service. Your actions may seem routine, but everyone depends on you to do them without flash. When you serve well, no one notices you. People only notice when things go awry. Still, the Church relies on the assistance of adult servers. Whether in parishes, convents, monasteries, or chapels, adults serve Mass. They join in the prayer, and they assure the smooth execution of the liturgy. 1. Theology and History of the Server The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving". It comes from a Greek word. To this day, when modern Greeks say, "Thank you," they say Eucharisto." It is one of the most used words in the language. Mass is an act of thanksgiving. Through it we call to mind the great deeds God has done for us, and we express our gratitude for them. We do this especially in the prayers. The word Mass means "sending". It comes from the Latin words that conclude the service: Ite, missa est. It has been translated many ways, such as "Co forth, the Mass is ended." Or, more freely, "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life." "Go, you have been sent." We call this part of Mass the dismissal, but it is not just a "sending from." It is a "sending to." We are not just ending our time of prayer together.

  • The Sanctuary Lamp
    The Sanctuary Lamp It has long since been the custom of the Church to set aside a small portion of the consecrated bread and wine for emergency use in ministering to the sick or dying. This “Reserved Sacrament” as it is called, is usually stored in one of two places - in a Tabernacle (a cupboard built into the front center of the altar upon which the cross is usually placed), or in an Aumbry (a cupboard built into the wall of the sanctuary, close to the altar). All Saints’ has an Aumbry built into the wall above the credence shelf at the right rear of the sanctuary. Furthermore, it has been the custom to have a candle burning (symbolic of the Light of Christ) above the Tabernacle or Aumbry whenever the sacrament is present. Under normal circumstances, the only time the candle would be extinguished would be at the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday Eucharist, when all the remaining sacrament is consumed. (The bread and wine are never consecrated on Good Friday). The candle remains unlit (darkened - symbolic of the apparent victory of darkness over light) until the first celebration of the Resurrection on either Easter Even or Easter morning. The Sanctuary lamp utilizes a seven day candle. It is first lighted from the “New Fire” struck on Easter Even for the Paschal Candle and then transferred to the candle in the Sanctuary Lamp. Each week, as the candle is exchanged for a new one, the “Light” is also transferred. An opportunity therefore exists for the sanctuary candle to be given as either a thank offering or a memorial and remain burning in the church for the week.

  • Did You Know? Facts About Our Faith & Our Church a Series By: Kevin Mathieu - Director of Liturgical Music & Parish Communications January, 2021 Issue Number: 2
    Did you know? Facts about our Faith & our Church a series by: Kevin Mathieu - Director of Liturgical Music & Parish Communications January, 2021 Issue Number: 2 Sacred Vessels & Altar Appointments What are all those things called? - The Catholic Church has a long tradition of beautiful well appointed items used in the Sacred Liturgy, each having a special name and function. In this issue I will just scratch the surface to identify and explain most of the common items we see each week, and a few of the “special occasion” items that only appear a few times, or even only once a year. Please bear with me as I try not to get to “in depth” with the following descriptions. We can begin with one of the most recognized liturgical items, the Chalice. From the Roman word calix, a chalice is a tall, footed goblet for holding drink. In the Catholic Church, the chalice holds the blessed, then consecrated wine, the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Usually made of precious metals and sometimes richly ornamented, they show just how special what they contain is. The Catholic Church sets forth guidelines on construction and materials for chalices, one of those being, the cup that will contain the Precious Blood must be lined with precious metal (usually gold) if it is not constructed of it. While we all get to see the beautiful silver of Father Lizewski’s chalice, not many see the gold interior. Blessed by a Bishop (usually at a priests ordination) the chalice is truly the most important of the sacred vessels used at MASS every day.

  • What's It Called? Vestments the Vestments Are the Special Clothing Worn by the Clergy and Lay Assistants As They Officiate at the Various Church Services
    What’s It Called? A brief explanation of the names and meanings of objects found in the church and used in the Liturgy 1 This little booklet is offered in the hope of enabling the members of this congregation to know and better understand those things we constantly use in worship. The comic name rather belies a serious intent. As inheritors of the liturgical tradition of worship, which employs the use of many objects in the conduct of our solemn worship, it seem only fitting that we should know what those objects are, why they are used (more often for convenience and practicality that any other reason), and their proper names. There are some who think that such knowledge should be avoided, as leading to obfuscation or obscurantism. I disagree. The more we know and understand, the more intelligently and un-distractedly we are able to assist in the worship of Almighty God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Douglas Kornahrens Drawings by Stan Wale 2 What's It Called? vestments The vestments are the special clothing worn by the clergy and lay assistants as they officiate at the various church services. These vestments originated from the everyday dress of citizens of the Roman world in the first few centuries of the life of the church. alb The alb is the basic item of liturgical vesture and is worn by all, both clergy and laity, who participate in the Liturgy. The word comes directly from the Latin alba which means ‘white’. The garment derives from the basic garment of Roman dress which was a long white linen tunic.

  • Eternal Light/Sanctuary Lamp: Commemorating History & Religion at St
    National Park Service St. Paul’s Church U.S. Department of the Interior National Historic Site Mt. Vernon, NY 914-667-4116 www.nps.gov/sapa Eternal Light/Sanctuary Lamp: Commemorating History & Religion at St. Paul’s By David Osborn Site Manager, St. Paul’s Church National Historic Site, Mt. Vernon, New York February 2010 The small pewter lamp hanging gently from a chain at the eastern wing of St. Paul’s was donated to the church in a late afternoon ceremony, May 8, 1944, by Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger, wife of the publisher of The New York Times. A family heirloom, the lamp was brought to America in the mid 19th Century by Ms. Sulzberger’s great-grandfather Joseph Levy, who fled Germany in the turmoil that followed the failed revolution of 1848. It had been suspended at the front of the synagogue attended by the Levy family in Landau -- quite a journey, literally and symbolically, to an Episcopal Church in Westchester County. In the synagogue, the lamp, ornamented with four cherub heads, served as an eternal light, or Ner Tamid, guarding the ark which housed the Torah scrolls, the Old Testament of the Bible; it represented God’s eternal presence and covenant with the Jewish people. The circular lamp also found a religious home at St. Paul’s since Christians revere sanctuary lamps as symbols for honoring the presence of Jesus and reserving the Blessed Sacrament. But the position in St. Paul’s of the carefully crafted lamp, chiseled with marks and initials indicating its probable 19th Century origin in the German city of Dresden, reflects important historical as well as religious themes.
