IN OUR PARISH  

MONDAY MORNING MASS    Fr. Ian McDole has returned from Rome and has agreed to once again celebrate mass here a few times a week.  Beginning tomorrow, July 4th, and continuing until further notice, there will be a Monday morning mass.  Since this Monday is a holiday, the mass will be at 9:00 a.m., but normally, the mass will be at 8:00 a.m.  Fr. Ian will also be celebrating the Thursday and Saturday morning masses.  Please be sure to welcome Fr. Ian back when you see him.  

HELP HOMELESS FAMILIES   through the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Tuesday & Wednesday, July 5th & 6th.  Assistance is needed in transporting families in the IHN van to and from Christ Church and the Day Center in Newport , preparing a meal, hosting a meal and spending the night. This is a great way for families and individuals to work together in service. New volunteers will be paired with experienced helpers so don’t let inexperience keep you from answering the call. Call Mindy Hoarston at 547-8415 for additional information or see the sign-up posters at the Rossford Avenue exit of church.   

ST. CATHERINE SIENA CLUB   will be meeting next Sunday, July 10th, in McCrystal Hall at 12:30 p.m.  Stop by for some food, friends, fun and fellowship!  

REGISTRATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED FOR VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL    Vacation Bible School will be held August 1st - 5th from 9:00a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Registration forms are now available in the Parish Office and in the back of church. Please send in the completed form along with payment to Parish Office by July 15th.   Also, we are in need of adult volunteers & student volunteers (grades 7-12) to help with VBS.  If you or your child is able to help, please e-mail Keith Morgeson at kmorgeson@stcatherineofsiena.org. We look forward to a great time this summer at VBS!  

CCD TEACHERS   are needed for the 2011-2012 school year.  We are in search of teachers for the 4th and 6th grade.  Please pray about this and if you feel this is something God is calling you to help with or if you just want more information about what is involved, please contact Keith Morgeson at kmorgeson@stcatherineofsiena.org.  The diocese requires that applicants be Virtus trained and be willing to work on teaching certification for religious education teachers. We appreciate your support of the St. Catherine of Siena CCD Program!

DID YOU MISS GETTING YOUR FAMILY PORTRAIT TAKEN?     If you did, here’s another opportunity for you.  We have made arrangements with Olan Mills to come back for two more days to photograph any families who have not yet had their directory picture taken.  A photographer will be here in McCrystal Hall on Tuesday, July 5th & Wednesday, July 6th from 2:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. 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.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT (VIRTUS)    Please be aware that if you wish to participate in parish and school activities that involve the presence of children, you need to be trained and in compliance with the safe environment program in the Diocese.  If you haven’t registered for this program but would like to volunteer for school and/or parish events, please contact the parish office.  If you are already participating in the program, be sure to keep up with your monthly bulletins.  The June bulletin is now posted and is due by July 5th.

ST. BERNARD PANTRY    Items being collected for the pantry over the summer are:  pasta sauce, peanut butter and tuna.  You can drop off your donation in the back of church or in the parish office.  Thank you to all those who continue to support this mission and help us to “Feed God’s Children”.

You will still have to go online to register for the training session.

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.

 

The Entrance

“To you, O God, I lift up my soul” (Psalm 24:1; Entrance Chant of the First

Sunday of Advent). The Entrance Chant is like a door opening onto the Mystery. It

begins as the priest and other ministers enter the church. The Entrance Chant sets the

celebration of Mass in motion; it fosters unity; it expresses something of the feast or

season being celebrated. The Entrance Chant accompanies the procession of the priest

and ministers into the sanctuary and ends when the priest arrives at the chair.

The choice of the Entrance Chant is determined by the General Instruction of the

Roman Missal. It may be the antiphon and psalm given in one of three official liturgical

books: the Roman Gradual, the Roman Missal, or the Simple Gradual. The Entrance

Chant may also be an antiphon and psalm from another source, or even a suitable

liturgical song, provided that these have been approved by the Conference of Bishops or

the diocesan bishop (GIRM, art. 48).

Apart from a very few exceptions, the Entrance Chants of the Mass are drawn

from the Bible, usually from the Book of Psalms. It is significant that Mass opens with

God’s word addressed to us. Already in the Entrance Chant it is God who comes out to

meet us.
