10 Questions on the Revised Translation of Mass Print E-mail
Share
From The Bishop
Written by Matthew Bireta   
Tuesday, July 6, 2010

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).

Catholic TV  “America’s Catholic Television Network” operated out of Boston, MA and under the auspices of Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley, has offered us an opportunity to put an embedded version of Catholic TV right on our website for easy viewing online, anytime – it’s called Catholic TV jr.
 
The Diocese of Palm Beach has partnered with CTV to further our shared efforts for evangelization by means of multi-media. With one click you have instant access to the best of Catholic TV right on the Holy Name of Jesus homepage from anywhere!
 
It is important to note that  programming is not just Boston Catholic Church news  – programming consists of national Catholic Church news, stories and events as well as the latest information from the Vatican including the “Wednesday Audiences” with our Holy Father… in fact CTV recently aired Bishop Barbarito’s video messages on the 25th Anniversary of our Diocese as well as a teaching on the Year for Priests.  CTV has experienced rapid development from local Catholic news the Archdiocese of Boston to what it’s become - a growing global communications entity serving ALL the Catholic faithful around the US and abroad and giving our United States Conference of Catholic Bishops a greater voice!

The main website for Catholic TV is www.CatholicTV.com

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."

Year for Priests Print E-mail

From The Bishop
Written by Matthew Bireta   
Saturday, August 22, 2009
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.

Don't Forget Mass While You're On Vacation Print E-mail

Written by Matthew Bireta   
Thursday, July 30, 2009

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.

Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito on the Gift of Priestly Celibacy Print E-mail

From The Bishop
Written by Alexis Walkenstein, Director of Communications   
Friday, May 8, 2009

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

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.
