The Second Scrutiny
LauraBa267, Thursday 25 February 2010 - 11:03:52 // comment: 0
Please pray for our elect in RCIA this Sunday, March 14th, as we celebrate the Second Scrutiny at the 10:00AM mass.
Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, The Second of three scrutinies is a rite of self-searching and repentance through which the elect are asked to examine the nature of sin and to invite Christ the Redeemer, who is light of the world, to fill their spirit. The faithful assembled are encouraged to pray for their own renewal as well as for the elect, that their eyes and hearts may be fully opened as they are guided by the light of God in their lenten journey toward full communion with the Roman Catholic Church.

Fr. Michael explains the importance and sacredness of entering the sanctuary
Jim Wozniak, Thursday 14 January 2010 - 21:32:01 // comment: 0
Entrance points, both in terms of time and also in terms of space, carry a unique weight. We know that culturally we mark the entrance into a new year in a celebratory way full of hope, expectations and promises.
[ Read the rest ... ]
Every January 1 we enter into a new and different space of time. Also our entrance into a church should move us into a different space; in fact a sacred space.
This is why in Catholic churches entrances into the church proper are often unique architecturally (for example: large weighty doors, the use of stained glass and heavenly images). When we come into church we are not just entering another building, we are entering a sacred space which houses the encounter between God and the community in worship.

Pope Benedict XVI Declares “Year for Priests”
LauraBa267, Sunday 31 May 2009 - 09:28:03 // comment: 0
Pope Benedict XVI has declared a "Year for Priests," which began on June 19, 2009, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and will conclude on June 19, 2010 with a gathering of priests in Rome. With this announcement, the Pope has also declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron Saint of Priests.
You may read more details about the coming year by clicking on the banner above.
Please pray that our priests may be faithful to their calling.
The Peoples’ Prayer for Priests:
Dear Lord, we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around your priests and through her intercession strengthen them for their ministry.
We pray that Mary will guide your priests to follow her own words, “Do whatever He tells you” (Jn 2:5).
May your priests have the heart of St. Joseph, Mary’s most chaste spouse.
May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart inspire them to embrace all who suffer at the foot of the cross.
May your priests be holy, filled with the fire of your love seeking nothing but your greater glory and the salvation of souls.
Amen.
Saint John Vianney, pray for us.

St. Mary’s Adopts Environmental Statement
LauraBa267, Thursday 30 April 2009 - 10:54:16 // comment: 0
Moving forward in the 21st century, the Catholic Church has found it necessary to enact certain policies regarding the environment. Following Papal leadership from Rome, St. Mary’s Parish has adopted an environmental statement that reflects the leadership of the universal Church as well as our parish. The following statement was drafted by a member of the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation Committee, which provides leadership within the parish regarding environmental matters. This statement was approved by the Parish Pastoral Council in March 2009:
St. Mary's Justice and Peace and Integrity of Creation: Environmental Statement
The people of St. Mary's Parish embrace the sanctity of life by recognizing and living on the earth in a responsible, respectful, and sustainable manner. The words of Pope Benedict II guide us in our goals as a parish and ministry:
"Preservation of the environment, promotion of sustainable development and particular attention to climate change are matters of grave concern for the entire human family. No nation or business sector can ignore the ethical implications present in all economic and social development. With increasing clarity scientific research demonstrates that the impact of human actions in any one place or region can have worldwide effects. The consequences of disregard for the environment cannot be limited to an immediate area or populace because they always harm human coexistence, and thus betray human dignity and violate the rights of citizens who desire to live in a safe environment."
Message for the 2007 World Day of Peace (From the Vatican, 1 September 2007)
