Next weekend we will

for our local food

pantry. Thank you for

your generous support.

Priesthood Sunday is a special day set aside to honor our parish priest in the United States. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church. The number of priest and ordinations in the United States has steadily declined in the past 50 years. The men who answer the call to priesthood are special indeed, and they are working harder then ever before.

The Knights of Columbus of St. Cecilia honored our priest on Saturday 26th at the 4:30 Mass. They were honored with a Certificate of Appreciation and a Gift.

November - Prayer of the Month Our Parish Prayer Heavenly Father, pour down your Spirit upon our church and parish. Grant us a new vision of your glory, A new experience of your power, A new faithfulness to your word, And a new consecration to your service; That through our renewed witness, Your holy name may be glorified, And your Kingdom come. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord Who lives and reigns with you and The Holy Spirit, One God, World without end. Amen. h p://ww.cwgsy.net/

The Anointing of the Sick Mass was celebrated with great attendance.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Every week, some treasures from our tradi on are shared here. Where does all this history come from? The history of God’s people of prayer is always coming to light, mostly because scholars have dedicated their lives to research. They translate and ponder prayers and songs; explore the places used for worship; look at the vessels, books, and vestments; and read works from legal documents to le ers and diaries. In the 1930s, Hitler’s rush to arm Germany closed seminaries as priests and seminarians alike were dra ed into service. One professor, Father Josef Jungman, forced from his classroom, spent the war years in an Austrian library. His careful work disclosed much of what we know of the history of the Mass. His great work, The Mass of the Roman Rite, describes the evolu on of Eucharis c celebra on and inspired genera ons of scholars to explore a tradi on surprisingly rich and varied. It was said of him that he had a command of the past that cast new light on the present, and opened up a clear direc on to the future. His contribu ons to the Second Va can Council helped shape the way that we worship today. At the end of his life, in 1975, his studies completed, he told a friend that he was wai ng pa ently for the Lord’s knock at the door to take him to the heavenly banquet. —James Field, Copyright © J.
