PRAISE &
WORSHIP Please join our church
family for the second talk on RADICAL FORGIVENESS on Saturday, April 16th at 7:00
pm (doors open at 6:00pm). On December 1, 1997 fifteen year old Missy
Jenkins was standing in a prayer circle in the lobby of her Paducah high
school when a fellow student, who had been a target of bullying, opened
fire, killing 3 and seriously injuring others. Hours after being shot, while
lying in the ER, Missy forgave the student who shot and paralyzed her from the
chest down, seriously altering her life forever. Missy is the co-author of the
book, I Choose To
Be Happy, A School Shooting Survivor’s Triumph Over Tragedy. Missy
has been on Good Morning America, MTV, Dateline NBC, Oprah, Montel Williams
Show, and the Today Show. This is another unique opportunity to witness
God’s grace in action. No tickets are required; a free-will offering will
be taken. For more information call Terri at 441-3438 or Sharon 441-1069.
CCD TEACHERS: needed for the 2011-2012 school year.
The time for discernment is now. We are in search of teachers for the 4th
and co-teachers
for the 5th & 6th grades. Interested persons must be active in their
faith and ready to answer the call. The diocese requires applicants to be, or
to become, Virtus trained and willing to begin work
on teaching certification for religious education teachers. Contact Keith Morgeson at kmorgeson@stcatherineofsiena.org
with your willingness to serve in this ministry.
PRO-LIFE FACT On February 18th, the state
of Kansas passed HB2218, which bans abortions after 22 weeks gestation due to
the scientific evidence that not only do unborn children feel pain, they feel
it more acutely because pain “dampeners” do not fully develop until 40 weeks
gestation and later. This is a
beginning.
HOMILIES ON CD Fr. Stef’s February
homilies are available on CD in the back of church.

DIOCESAN PARISH ANNUAL APPEAL 2011 – A TIME FOR REFLECTION In preparation for Commitment Weekend,
please take the time to read the DPAA newsletter that is enclosed with today’s
bulletin. A pledge to the Appeal makes
you an ambassador for Christ in love, sacrifice and service. Next weekend, during Mass, we will complete
our DPAA pledge forms together. Everything we do as Church is done to continue the mission of Christ until the end of
time. As we use our gifts in service to
one another, we do so in His name. Let
us reach out in faith and give generously to the 2011 DPAA.
IMPLEMENTATION
Introductory Rites
“Those who
fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and will humble themselves
before him” (Sirach
2:17). The Introductory Rites of the Mass prepare us to listen to the
Word of God and to
enter into the Holy Sacrifice. The Entrance, Greeting, Act of
Penitence, Kyrie, Gloria,
and Collect are the means by which we cross the
threshold,
acknowledge the presence of Christ, seek his
mercy, praise the glory of the Father, and
pray together in the unity of the Holy
Spirit.
Only in a
context of adoration, humility, supplication, and praise can we hear the
Word of God rightly. The Introductory Rites of the Mass
provide this context and foster
the attention of the listening heart. On
certain occasions such as the Feast of the
Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd and Palm Sunday, the
Introductory Rites are
modified or performed in a particular way. The
same is true when Mass is preceded by
any part of the Liturgy of the Hours.
The
Introductory Rites of the Mass are most effective when silence precedes
them. “Even before the celebration itself,
it is commendable that silence be observed in
the church, in the sacristy, in the
vesting room, and in adjacent areas, so that all may
dispose themselves to carry out the sacred
action in a devout and fitting manner” (GIRM,
art. 45).
