Once you receive it and assemble your supplies, you are ready to “dive Thank you. John Beyer, Campaign Chair in!” Dear Parishioners of St. Pius X, July 19, 2020 Well, it’s the middle of July, which means that the good and holy Fr. Milton has now made his way down to Chillicothe, and is getting himself settled and focused, to begin ministry at his new assignment. Like you, I will certainly miss him, and am so grateful to God for having sent Fr. Milton to be with us, here at St. Pius X. Please continue to keep him in your prayers, as he adapts to serving at three different parishes, spread across two different counties! Now, speaking of adaptation: Whether we like it or not, we’ve all become awfully familiar, lately, with the notions of flexibility and change, on account of this maddening pandemic. For that reason, I had originally planned to wait (at least until the new year) to introduce any further changes around the parish. That was my plan, anyway. But the good Lord had something else in mind, and He was pretty insistent when I’d brought these things to prayer. So, given that we’re in this current state of flux together, I want to share with you some changes that will be happening here at St. Pius X, in the coming weeks. First, the most obvious change is the one I’ve already mentioned: Fr. Milton has now departed St. Pius X, to serve a whole new set of faces and families, down in Chillicothe and Waverly. His (unanticipated) reassignment was really the final nudge from the Holy Spirit that prompted me to get moving on these other changes. Now, this next change was posted in the bulletin last weekend (July 11/12), but with everything else going on, I don’t expect many folks noticed it: As with nearly every other parish in the Diocese of Columbus, our Weekend Mass schedule here at St. Pius X is changing, and downsizing a bit. Beginning on the weekend of August 1st and 2nd, this will be our new Weekend Mass schedule: Saturdays: 3:00pm - Confessions Sundays: 8:00am - Mass 4:30pm - Vigil Mass 10:00am - Mass Why the change? Well, over the past year, Brennan has been asking the of each deanery to take a proactive look at our parishes. Given our current Mass times, the attendance numbers at each of those Masses (over the past five years), and our church pew seating capacity, the question was posed: Could we be using our precious resources in a more prudent way, especially with the diminishing number of priests in mind? In response, neighboring pastors within each deanery worked hard to develop a local Mass schedule that offered the greatest range of Mass times for the faithful of our regions. We did our best to structure these new Mass schedules in a way that provided you, our people, with the most accessible, most expansive opportunities to attend Mass, every weekend. By balancing the declining number of priests with a staggered set of locally coordinated Mass times, and (reluctantly) eliminating our Mass with the lowest average attendance, we developed a collaborative Mass schedule that would allow priests to help each other, when the need arises. And the need will, most assuredly, arise. While the priest shortage may not seem immediately urgent, I want to share with you a somewhat daunting statistic which we cannot afford to ignore (and which drove me, personally, to work twice as hard on this project!). With the current median age of priests in Columbus at 63, and the retirement age for priests in our diocese at 70, half of the available/active priests of our diocese will be at retirement age in 7 years. Holy cow! Trends like these, I think, really put into perspective the need for changes that better allow cooperation between parishes and, more importantly, provide a sustainable plan for the pastoral care of our faithful.

At the same time, I want you to know that while statistics, like that one above, may seem unnerving and even discouraging, many, many of your priests don’t see it that way. Instead, we see this challenge as a part of our vocation: that Christ called us to be His priests today, in this time, with these difficulties, and with these pressures and unique demands. So, we intend to give everything we have, and all that we are, in serving Christ and His Church, with the power and grace He has promised. The Lord’s Sacrifice on the Cross is our ultimate inspiration, and the Holy Eucharist, which makes that same Sacrifice present on the altar, really is our surest strength and consolation. Indeed, the Cross and the Eucharist are two of the greatest treasures of our Faith, for every Catholic! And that brings me to the final set of changes I want to share with you in this letter. In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be making some modifications up in the church sanctuary. First, we will be relocating the figure of the Resurrected Christ (currently situated on the back wall of the sanctuary) to its new residence, on the distinctive, ascending wall of the northern foyer, of the Msgr. Funk Parish Family Center, right as you walk inside. The space there readily draws your eyes upward, and in a place where our parish life has so clearly expanded and grown, it seems like the perfect setting for this cherished image of our Resurrected Lord! Meanwhile, back in the church sanctuary, we will be hanging a very beautiful crucifix, over the main altar. Why hang a Crucifix? The Crucifix is a preeminent reminder of just how much Jesus loves us. It was with an absolute, unrelenting, and unconditional love that He willingly accepted the agonies and anguish of the Cross – for us. Reflecting on this supreme sacrifice, we see the greatness of God: holding nothing back, giving Himself, totally and completely to us. Positioning the Crucifix over the altar is an ancient tradition of the Catholic Church; one which inseparably links – in our minds and hearts – the Lord’s Cross with His Last Supper, the Holy Eucharist. On the night He was betrayed, Christ Jesus told us, “This is my Body, my Blood, which will be given up for you.” Then, the next day – Good Friday – He fulfilled this extreme gift, by offering Himself as the saving Victim, there on the Cross. With this essential connection between the Crucifix and the Holy Eucharist in mind, and having hung this emphatic reminder of God’s Love over the altar, it seems only natural to move the tabernacle to the church sanctuary, as well. In this way, the Crucifix, the Eucharist, and the Altar of Sacrifice will literally be stationed at the “front and center” of our church, our worship, and (hopefully) our hearts. Therefore, we will be placing a new tabernacle, containing the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, in front of the mosaic, there behind the main altar. In that little chapel-area, where the tabernacle used to be, we will have a statue of the Blessed Mother, who is the ideal model of faith and dedication to her Son: “Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart,” (Luke 2:19). The chairs for the presider, deacons, and servers will then be moved over to the east side of the sanctuary, just back from the ambo/pulpit. Thus, the Crucifix, the Eucharist, and the Altar of Sacrifice will be at the very heart of the church – focusing our thanksgiving, praise, and adoration, all in one place… with the Mass being the heartbeat of our parish! There’s so much beautiful meaning in all of these things, it’s impossible to squeeze it into an already- lengthy letter. So instead, in the next few weeks, I’ve invited Deacon Jacob to write some articles to accompany these changes in the church sanctuary, in order to offer some further reflection and explanation about these gems of our Catholic Faith and our Tradition. Incidentally, I should also add that every one of these unique treasures came from the Catholic Jubilee Museum, down on West Broad St. We gave a modest donation to the museum, but all of these items were essentially a gift from the patrimony/heritage of our Catholic Faith. Each of them had their own previous “parish assignments,” but have now come to us to inspire a whole new set of faces and families, here at St. Pius X! Let me conclude, then, by saying I know that change can be difficult, or exciting, or even a mix of both. So, I want to thank you for your continued patience, as we adjust to these changes, and for your enduring love of our Lord, our Faith, and our parish. You, my parish family here at St. Pius X, are one of God’s greatest blessings to me, and I am so incredibly grateful to get to be your pastor. Love and prayers, SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 26, 2020

Seminarian, Jacob Stinnett’s Column In the early 16th century, a German painter named Matthias Grunewald created a scene of the Crucifixion for the altarpiece of the Antonine Brothers in Isenheim. It is striking for the realism that is depicted: Jesus’ lacerated and mangled body, blood dripping from Him, thorns from His crown piercing His entire body. One of the goriest details for me is Christ’s fingers, twisted and clearly in intense agony from the nails driven through His wrists. Christ looks defeated and abandoned; there is no resemblance to Him Whom we proclaim as King of the Universe. There is a real temptation to look away from the Crucifix, to replace it with something a little less horrific. I am sure anyone walking along the road outside of Jerusalem on Good Friday turned to look at the field of flowers on the other side of the road. They may have felt sorry for this “Man of Sorrows,” but they most likely did not bow down in worship. I would like to look at two Scripture passages to help make sense of the prominence of the crucifix in Catholic churches and in the Christian life. Why it is that we hold up what is ostensibly a bloody defeat as the sign of our identity. The first is one of the most well-known passages in Scripture, at least to those who watch sports. John 3:16 is one of the best summary passages of salvation history: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.” The two verbs that make this sentence so powerful for so many are “love” and “believe.” These two words are at the heart of the Christian living, but they might not be the first words we would associate with the gruesome scene of the Crucifixion. With a proper, although not comprehensive understanding of these words, we can begin to reflect upon the crucifix as the supreme sign of belief and of love. Belief is the act of faith. It is knowing something by trusting God’s revelation to be true. We believe that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist, because God has promised us that it is so. We do not know it by science or by logical deduction; we know it through faith. When we approach a crucifix, we have to look upon it with faith. Faith does not see with the eyes of the world, which only sees the brutal torture of a man, something from which we turn away. Instead, faith sees with the eyes of God. Faith sees the Son of God making atonement for the sins of the world. In other words, Jesus is making the infinite sacrifice that can make reconciliation with God for all of humanity’s sins. Benedict XVI puts it this way: “In the Cross of Jesus, what the animal sacrifices had sought in vain to achieve actually occurred: atonement was made for the world. The ‘Lamb of God’ took upon himself the sins of the world and wiped them away. God’s relationship to the world, formerly distorted by sin, was now renewed.” When we see with the eyes of faith, we see the greatest act of God, the redemption of the world, the forgiveness of our sins, and the opening of Heaven for humanity. The crucifix is also the greatest sign of love. Love is more than the warm feeling, more than a mushy and oftentimes confusing passion we have for another. Love, as Pope St. John Paul II said, is willing the good of the other. To say “I love you” means that I am making a choice to do what is best for you. The more we make that choice, the more we come to realize that it is doing what is best for you, regardless of what it does to me. Love is the most powerful force. Every child knows this instinctively; a scratch or scrape does not begin to heal when the Band-aid and Neosporin go on, but when mom gives it a kiss. Pope Benedict XVI also says, “In Jesus’ Passion, all the filth of the world touches the infinitely pure one, the soul of Jesus Christ and, hence, the Son of God himself … Through this contact, the filth of the world is truly absorbed, wiped out, and transformed in the pain of infinite love.” The crucifix is the sign of God’s infinite love, a love which gives everyone the invitation to the sinless life of Heaven. Seeing with the eyes of faith, we rejoice and adore our Crucified Lord for the sacrifice of love He made for us. The second passage that I will touch on briefly comes from St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians: “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God” (5:19-20). Since we call ourselves Christians, we have a mission to spread the message of the perfect love that is displayed by Christ on the cross. Having a crucifix displayed in our churches and in our homes should be a constant reminder to us of the love that we have received, and the mission we have of bringing more people, indeed the entire world, to embrace Him Who loves us so much. Like St. Paul, “we proclaim Christ crucified … Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Cor 1:23-24). We proclaim the crucified Christ, not because of any obsession with the macabre, but because of the perfect love displayed in His sacrifice, the perfect love which purifies, drives out sin, makes us worthy of the life of grace, and enables us to say “Yes” to God.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS – “COATS FOR KIDS” COAT DRIVE The St. Pius X Knights of Columbus Council 5253 is again heading up the “Coats for Kids” Coat Drive benefiting the St. Francis Evangelization Center in McArthur, Ohio. We are requesting new and/or “slightly/gently” used and clean coats for children of all ages and sizes. If you are cleaning out your children’s closets, please consider saving the coats that do not fit any longer. There will be a box outside the choir room in the vestibule to put donated coats in. The Knights will then collect and sort the coats through the summer and will deliver the coats to the St. Francis Center in October just in time for winter. Due to your generosity, last year St. Pius X delivered 140 coats to an area of Ohio that desperately needs them for winter. We are hoping to exceed that number this year. The Knights appreciate any help you are able to give to this worthy endeavor for the children of Perry County. Thank you. Knights of Columbus Council 5253

SAINT OF THE DAY FOR JULY 27

Blessed (August 2, 1682-July 25, 1752) Blessed Antonio Lucci’s Story: Antonio studied with and was a friend of Francesco Antonio Fasani, who after Antonio Lucci’s death, testified at the diocesan hearings regarding the holiness of Lucci. Born in Agnone in southern Italy, a city famous for manufacturing bells and copper crafts, he was given the name Angelo at baptism. He attended the local school run by the Conventual and joined them at the age of 16. Antonio completed his studies for the priesthood in , where he was ordained in 1705. Further studies led to a doctorate in theology and appointments as a teacher in Agnone, Ravello, and . He also served as guardian in Naples. Elected minister provincial in 1718, the following year he was appointed professor at St. College in , a position he held until Pope Benedict XIII chose Antonio as bishop of Bovino in 1729. The pope explained, “I have chosen as bishop of Bovino an eminent theologian and a great saint.” His 23 years as bishop were marked by visits to local parishes and a renewal of gospel living among the people of his diocese. He dedicated his episcopal income to works of education and charity. At the urging of the Conventual minister general, Bishop Lucci wrote a major book about the and blesseds in the first 200 years of the Conventual Franciscans. Antonio Lucci was beatified in 1989, three years after his friend Francesco Antonio Fasani was canonized. His Liturgical Feast Day is July 25. Reflection: As Pope Paul VI wrote in 1975, people today “are more impressed by witnesses than by teachers, and if they listen to these it is because they also bear witness” (Evangelization in the Modern World, #41).
