IN OUR PARISH  

PTO ANNUAL FLOWERING BASKET SALE will be held this weekend, May 7th & 8th, after all masses. This is a perfect opportunity to brighten your home or pick up a gift for Mom on Mother’s Day!  All proceeds from the sale will benefit St. Catherine’s Church.  

ATTENTION 2011 HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS   The annual senior mass honoring the high school seniors in our parish will be held next Sunday, May 15th at the 9:00 a.m. mass.  There will also be a breakfast following mass in McCrystal Hall.  If you haven’t responded to your invitation yet, or if you are a senior in high school and did not receive a letter, please call the parish office by this Wednesday. 

ST. CATHERINE SIENA CLUB   will be meeting next Sunday, May 15th, in McCrystal Hall at 12:30 p.m.  Stop by for some food, friends, fun and fellowship!  

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.  

DISCERNMENT     for members of the Parish Pastoral Council and the Board of Catholic Education begins this weekend.  As representative of the entire parish population, the Pastoral Council (PPC) acts as a consultative and advisory body to the pastor in making decisions for the benefit of the parish community. The Board of Catholic Education (BOCE) assists the pastor in promoting spiritual formation and Catholic education programs for all age groups. Members of each board are discerned through prayer and sacrifice and serve for a three year term.  Please read the parish guidebook and directory for more details. At this time we are asking parishioners to prayerfully consider their own response to serve one of these committees.  Boxes with paper are at the side entrances to the church.  Please volunteer yourself or suggest another parishioner who would be representative of our parish community.  Most importantly, pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit in our discernment process.

HAVE YOU SCHEDULED YOUR APPOINTMENT YET?   Olan Mills will be here beginning this Wednesday, May 11th to photograph parishioners for our parish pictorial directory.  If you haven’t already done so, you can schedule your photography session by going to https://signup.olanmills.com/familyinfo.aspx?chcontract=60596.  If you do not have internet access, please call Olan Mills at (800)866-2263 and they will help you schedule your appointment.  Father Stef asks that all families please be photographed, as a pictorial directory is a great way for all parishioners to get to know each other.

PRO LIFE PRAYER   Pray that those tempted to abort may understand that their child is already present and already a real person.  (Fr. Frank Pavone)

ST. BERNARD PANTRY   For the month of May, we will be collecting peanut butter and jelly.  Donations can be dropped off to church, the parish office or the school office.

IN OUR DIOCESE

 

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL AGE YOUTH  The Campbell County Life Teen Youth Group meets every Thursday from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. in the St. Philip Parish Center and is open to all high school age youth from any parish.  This is a great opportunity for teens to meet people from different schools/parishes and to grow in their faith, all while having a great time!  The meetings include praise and worship, games, talks, small group discussions, social time and food!!  On the second Thursday of the month, we start out in church with mass and then move on to the parish center for food and social time.  The only thing we are missing is you - so make plans to attend this Thursday!  

 

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING CHANGE IN THE ROMAN MISSAL   Each week there will be an article relating to the upcoming changes in the Roman Missal.  (Some of them may be run more than once and they may not follow the Order of Mass.)  

Holy, Holy, Holy!

“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, God of mighty hosts!” One can almost hear the rush of

angels’ wings in the Sanctus, a hymn of adoration belonging to the Eucharistic Prayer

itself. The biblical sources of the Sanctus are in the book of the Prophet Isaiah and the

Gospel of Saint Matthew; thus does it bring together the Old and New Testaments in a

single song. “I saw the Lord,” says Isaiah, “sitting upon a throne high and lifted up; and

his train filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1). Surrounding the Lord, the prophet saw Seraphim,

angels of fire calling out, “Holy, Holy, Holy!” The second part of the Sanctus echoes the

cry of the children of Jerusalem waving palm branches before Christ the true King:

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (Mt 21:9).

The Sanctus expresses what lies at the heart of the Christian experience of God.

The thrice-holy God adored by the angels is, at the same time, the humble self-emptying

God who in the Eucharist, gives us his Body and Blood.  Like the Preface that leads into

It, the Sanctus cries out to be sung. The Roman Missal provides a simple melody, easily

learned, and suited to its place within the Eucharistic Prayer.
