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. 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.

In the event that you are in need of a priest or deacon and there is no one in the office: Please try the emergency number at 419-243-6031 or call Deacon Tom on his cell phone at 419-984-0082 and leave a message with your phone number and he will return your call as soon as possible.

Dear People of God,

I was asked the other day whether we could still stay home and watch Mass by livestreaming without in-curring sin since attendance in person is a require-ment to minimally say we’re Catholic (that is by ful-filling the “obligation to attend Mass on Sunday and Holydays of Obligation”). The answer is complex.

The precepts of the Church are the consequences of our baptism and celebration of other sacraments of the Catholic Church. Baptism brings us into com-munion with the whole Christian Church (all people past, present and future who are baptized) and we often mention this membership in our prayers, espe-cially at Mass. However, when we’re baptized we are “ascribed” to a particular ecclesial community (often referred to as a Church or a Denomination) by the minister and place of the baptism. Most of us know where that occurred so we can say we’re bap-tized Catholics or Lutherans or Methodists or what-ever Church in which we were initially bap-tized. Since we’re also baptized into the universal Church of Jesus Christ, when someone of another ascription wants to become Roman Catholic, they do not need to be re-baptized but only make a Profes-sion of Faith in the Roman or Latin Church. Ascrip-tion or profession means we agree to live by the rules of the Church for its members.

One of those rules is to join the praying community in person each Sunday and on the important festival days (Christmas, New Year’s Day, Immaculate Con-ception, All Saints, Assumption) so that we can wit-ness in the community to the community of which we form a part. However, Jesus himself suggests that rules should not be burdensome so this require-ment, while extremely important, can and should be waived in certain circumstances, among them health. If we’re sick or incapacitated, we are not bound by the rule. Does the health of the others there at Mass make a difference? One could argue that it does, although given the generation most in attendance at the parish, all of whom or a great ma-jority of whom have been vaccinated against the coronavirus, suggests that if we have been vaccinat-ed, there should be no qualms about being at Mass personally.

I realize that there are many people who are fearful of being in crowds; while I’m not the expert who can make a decision for them, I would think that mental health, if a great concern, points us to the livestreamed Mass. On the other hand, laziness or the preference for lounging in our pajamas with a cup of hot coffee while watching the action is not an excuse to avoid coming to be with your fellow Cath-olics celebrating the real presence of Jesus. We are eager to welcome everyone back.

Msgr. Chris

Jesus ChristJesus ChristJesus ChristJesus Christ As foretold by Isiah; around the year 4 B.C., a baby

was born more than 2,000 years ago in the town of

Bethlehem in Judea. He was named Jesus (from the

Hebrew meaning “God saves”). From an early age,

Jesus, born both fully human and fully divine, dis-

played a very special relationship with God, whom he

referred to as Father. As an adult, Jesus made Word

come to life in the midst of those who whom he lived.

Jesus performed miracles, taught with parables and

befriended the outcasts of society.
