TRANSCRIPT
Dear Parishioners,
After this Sunday, i.e., this weekend, there will be a bit of
a parting of the ways between the Extraordinary Form
and The Ordinary Form – at least in terms of liturgical color.
Next Sunday, the Ordinary Form will continue to dress in green, the
color of “Ordinary Time,” or the time “following.” The Extraordinary
Form, however, will don purple, the color of penitence and anticipation.
The forms will coalesce again come Ash Wednesday, but the
green/purple color disparity will endure until then.
The Extraordinary Form, and, by the way, also the various Anglican
Ordinariates will retain the traditional season known as Septuagesima, a
kind of preparation for Lent. Really, it’s just that. The Church has
always recognized that Lent is a period of rigorous self-denial and
mortification. She also recognized that, due to human weakness (i.e.,
our fallen human nature) people aren’t accustomed to go from one
extreme, if I may use that word, to another. In a way, a sudden change
from a post-Christmas way of life, a kind of relative ease, to rigid
mortification is not an easy one. Septuagesima provides a way to
discard indulgence gradually and assume austerity in a kind of slow
motion. In a way it’s like using a nicotine patch or gum to ease one’s
way into life without cigarettes. Yes, the analogy is a bit of a stretch, but
it’s the best I could come up with. Anyway, come next Sunday there
will be no more Alleluias in the EF, a condition that will endure until
the Easter Vigil (God grant that we will HAVE our customary Easter
Vigils this year!). The OF will take that same practice up beginning Ash
Wednesday.
A propos Ash Wednesday, once again, I plan to give as many folks as
possible the opportunity to go to Mass, receive ashes and go to Holy
Communion at Lent’s “starting gate.” There will be three Extraordinary
Form Masses, at 7:30 AM, noon and 6:00 PM and one Ordinary Form
Mass at 4:00 PM.
So let’s try to gain as much fruit from the post Epiphany season as we
can. Ss. Paul, Polycarp, Timothy St. Thomas Aquinas will help us do
just that in the upcoming week, my dear Family. God bless you.

Second Collection This Weekend: Church in Latin America
On January 23rd & 24th, we will take up a collection for the Church
in Latin America. For many in Latin American and the Caribbean, a
rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of
ministers all present obstacles to practicing the faith. Your support
for the collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis,
priestly and religious formation, and other programs to share our
catholic faith with those who long to hear the Good News of Christ.
To learn more about how your gifts make a difference, visit

Ash Wednesday Schedule
Extraordinary Form 7:30 AM
No distribution of ashes at the
Extraordinary Form
Ordinary Form 4:00 PM
Candlemas Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the
Presentation of Jesus Christ and also the Purification
of Our Lady, is a day commemorating the
presentation of Jesus in the Temple. It is based upon
the account of the presentation of Jesus in Luke
2:22–40. It falls on February 2, which is
traditionally the 40th day of and the conclusion of the Christmas–
Epiphany season. While it is customary for Christians in some
countries to remove their Christmas decorations on Twelfth Night,
those in other Christian countries historically remove them on
Candlemas. On Candlemas, many Christians also bring their candles
to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the
rest of the year. These blessed candles serve as a symbol of Jesus
Christ, who referred to Himself as the Light of the World.
Depending on the weather, Father Magiera would like to solemnize
Candlemas this year. We will have a sung Mass at 6:00 PM on
Tuesday, February 2. Please bring any candles you'd like blessed
and Father Magiera will bless them before the Mass. Weather
permitting, we will distribute candles, light them, and process around
the block. If the weather is bad and if space permits, we will process
around the church. If space does not permit, no worries, I won't
distribute candles, but everything else will happen.
Feast of Saint Blaise The Feast of Saint Blaise is on February 3rd. We
will celebrate the blessing of the throats after all
Masses on Saturday, January 30th and Sunday,
January 31st and, of course, February 3rd. A
general, congregational blessing will be given
from the altar.
“Through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop
and martyr, may God deliver you from every
disease of the throat and from every other illness,
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit.” Amen.
