The Celebration of Sacraments
Infant Baptism: The Sacrament of Baptism is regularly celebrated on Sunday during or after the Eucharistic Liturgy. Registered parishioners are asked to arrange for the Baptismal Preparation Class and the Liturgical Celebration by calling the Parish Office.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults: RCIA is the process of growing in your faith and love of God. Weekly gather-ings take place from September until Easter. If you are interested in learning about Catholicism and joining us please call Deacon Tom at the rectory at Historic St. Patrick @ 419-243-6452. Penance: The Sacrament of Penance is celebrated at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at IC, 9:30 a.m. at HSP and 10:30 a.m. IC every Sunday or by appointment.
Matrimony: Anyone planning to be married must contact the parish at least six months in advance. The exact date and time of your wedding should not be determined until after consultation with a priest or deacon. If either party has previously been civilly or religiously married, the Presider is not permitted to set a date for the wedding without resolving the previous marriage.
Pastoral Care of the Sick: When a parishioner is admitted to the hospital, nursing home, or confined to home because of age or infirmity, please call the Parish Office. Parishioners are ready to visit and to bring Holy Communion. When one is seriously ill, the healing Presence of the Lord should be requested in the Sacrament of the Sick.
Dear People of God,
I’ve been working on the bible, or at least how the church currently studies it. All of the analysis by whatever means is intended to give us a better grasp of meaning: what does God want us to get out of the words of the bible. Certainly, God wants everybody to get the same message so the way the various books are put together must convey a common field of meaning for people of diverse cultures, different languages, very different ways of thinking and with radically different histories. That’s no easy task yet the bible manages to do so because behind all of the forms, sources, words, groups there is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We can all understand the essential elements of what God has to say: I love you and hope you love me. That underlying sense of God’s love, God’s compassion, God’s mercy can be found in every book of the bible, from Genesis to Revelations. And, as Jesus tells us, the second element is like the first: We ought to love one another with the same compassion and mercy shown to any of us by God. Beyond that the Church makes use of the bible to better understand the richness of what we have become as God’s faith-filled people. Why do we have seven sacraments? The bible has the answer. Why do we celebrate Eucharist the way we do? The bible tells us. Why do we venerate the saints? The bible tells us. We Catholics have often been accused of avoiding the bible in favor of liturgy but liturgy is drawn from and makes use of the bible perhaps more than does any other human endeavor. Everything we do is in some way drawn from and dependent on the bible. Even the shortest of the Eucharistic Prayers is taken almost entirely from the bible, there are over 140 specific references to various books of the bible in that short prayer (you can find them on the internet, by the way, in an annotated Eucharistic Prayer)! That’s why as pastor I’m pleased that here in the parish we offer bible study so that any of us can come to a better understanding of what’s in the bible and how it affects our actions, prayer life, and even the future toward which we are moving as Christians. I would invite and even urge all of us to take time to learn more about the bible and the richness it has to offer. I mentioned last week that each of the gospels was written to address a specific problem going on in the community. I had hope to get to those this week but we’ll have to put them off for later.

Some have noticed that a few of the kneelers have been burnt! This is most likely from the heating pipes, and we would ask that you leave those kneelers down when you exit your pew. If there are any volunteers willing to help replace the covering on the damaged ones, please let Barb, Mary Jo, or TJ know. We would like to keep our church in good repair!

Poinsettia rescue! We have admired our beautiful altar that has been decorated with the flowers from Strains Market. Thanks to TJ for seeing that they were arranged so beautifully. However, the time has come for them to be adopted, and since so many of you contribut-ed to the Christmas flower fund, we thought you might be interested in giving a flower a home! Af-ter the masses this weekend, please feel free to take a flower…or two! They will be placed on the steps to the altar, and any of those are available. If there are still some on the altar, PLEASE do not take them! Thanks for your help!

Program we’re encouraging. Almost 31% of the parishioners who gave to the Sunday offertory in the last year made a commitment for the next year. We also had 6 families newly identify themselves as active supporters of
our church. Overall, the commitments reflect a 55% increase in the offertory over previous donations from
those that responded with a commitment card. Please – it is important that parishioners maintain these commitments throughout the year, so that our church is able to continue
its mission.
