 The Holy See has approved the New English Translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. We must now await the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to determine when when can begin using the new translation in liturgy. It is expected that the new translation will be in effect for Advent of 2011.
The bishops have told us that now is the time for us to begin studying and learning the new text. When these changes take effect it will be awkward to change responses we have made for many years that, over time, have become automatic. Soon we will have to think about what we are saying at Mass. The translation will also bring about a change in the language of the Mass. The Vatican has asked that vernacular translations mare closely resemble the original Latin text. We will notice more complex wording and longer phrases as the translators have worked to emancipate the rich meaning and antiquity of the prayers of the Roman Rite. The language we will use at Mass will sound less like street English and more like one addressing a king in a royal court. We must remember the Mass makes us present on Calvary as the King of Kings was glorified by submitting His will to His Father in the Perfect Sacrifice: an example which we are called to imitate by submitting ourselves as a living sacrifice to Father. Full text of the new translation of the ordinary of Mass (Study text).

A very big thank you to our generous donor who donated the $16,740.00 for our new Carillion Bell system that rings in the bell tower. The company has stopped making and servicing the old analog system and has switched to a new digital system. This new system is also more user friendly and operates via a remote. The donor wishes to remain anonymous, and has donated the system in honor of his deceased father who always loved hearing the church bells. Again, a big thank you from our parish.

 From Catholic News Agency:
After years in the making, the English translation of the new Roman
Missal is nearing its completion and is now awaiting the final approval
of the bishops and the Vatican. In an effort to begin educating the
faithful and clergy on the new translation, the U.S. bishops have
launched a website.
The new website,
which was launched on August 21, includes background material on the
process of the development of liturgical texts, sample texts from the
Missal, a glossary of terms and answers to frequently asked questions.
A press release from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
says that content will be added to the website on a regular basis over
the next several months.
Bishop Arthur Serratelli, who chairs the bishops' Committee on
Divine Worship, welcomes the faithful to the new site in a video,
saying, "In the years since Vatican II we have learned a lot about the
use of the vernacular in the liturgy and the new texts reflect this new
understanding."

Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” which began with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father on June 19, 2010. With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Cure d’Ars. On the Diocese of Palm Beach website (www.diocesepb.org) you will find a number of resources to observe the celebration of the Year for Priests. There is a monthly calendar which may be printed out with the name of a priest or priests who minister in the Diocese of Palm Beach to pray for each day of the year. Please pray for our priests that they might be strengthened in their ministry.

Are you traveling this summer? Taking weekends for fun or travel sports teams? Please make time to go to Mass during your travels. Too many times the idea of vacation and missing Mass go hand in hand. It’s up to us parents to instill into our children the importance of the Sacraments. While vacations are a gift from God, there is no greater gift than His Son in the Eucharist. We believe that the Eucharist is the real presence of our Lord. Give your children the opportunity to receive Him every Sunday.

Celibacy is a great gift and blessing for the priest, for the Church and for society. It affords the priest a unique opportunity for a greater ability to serve all of God's people as well as for an intimate and mystical union with Christ Himself. The basis for priestly celibacy is the imitation of Christ who lived His mission in complete union with His Father and gave His life in love for all. Priestly celibacy is not a function. It is a way of life in conformity to the life of Christ. Celibacy is of the same nature as marriage. Just as a husband and wife give themselves exclusively to each other for their family, the priest gives himself exclusively to Christ for the service of Christ’s family, the Church. Both ways of giving bring joy. A particular priest's human failing in regard to living his fidelity to celibacy should not call into question the joyful gift of celibacy anymore than a particular person’s infidelity to his or her spouse should call into question the joyful gift of marriage.

My name is Susan Dichkewich and I am a parishioner at Holy Name. After years of being on a waiting list, I finally received my liver transplant. Words cannot express how thankful I am for your support, love, and generosity. My family and I can never repay what some very special people have done for my family and me. Thank you! What a miracle for me in getting my liver, but what a sad time for another family. I've seen our beloved Erin Fernandez, such a beautiful young spirit and daughter to Darlene and Ramon Fernandez, taken away in an accident in 2003 in my son's car. They were struck by a DUI driver. Erin donated her organs to others who needed it. I believe her parents gave new life to some other family by donating her organs. Heaven does not need organs, so I urge you to discuss with your loved ones their wishes regarding organ donation in the event of a tragedy. You never know what side of these situations you could be on. During these months of waiting in Jacksonville before and after the surgery, I have come to the point where I am not worried about my children or me because they are well loved because of you. As that well known saying goes (which Fr. Murtagh reminded us at the start of Stewardship), "It takes a village to raise a child." I am in recovery and doing well. Thank you very much again, and please continue to pray for my family and me. I can't wait to return. Happy Easter!! and remember, be not afraid - you are not alone. Love, Susan Dichkewich

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
