DIOCESAN WEBSITE: UNITED IN FAITH

THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST UNDER BOTH FORMS
TO BE RESTORED BEGINNING ON HOLY THURSDAY

Bishop Mark, after consultation with the Presbyteral Council, has directed that parishes may begin distributing Holy Communion under both forms at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, April 6, 2023.  

It should be noted that Holy Communion under both kinds must be in keeping with approved liturgical norms. Thus, for example, those who wish to receive from the chalice should receive from a common cup.  Self-communication on the part of the laity, such as self-intinction, is not permitted.

The General Instruction of Roman Missal states: “Holy Communion has a fuller form as a sign when it takes place under both kinds. For in this form the sign of the Eucharistic banquet is more clearly evident and clearer expression is given to the divine will by which the new and eternal Covenant is ratified in the Blood of the Lord, as also the connection between the Eucharistic banquet and the eschatological banquet in the Kingdom of the Father.”

Dear God,
during these forty days let us not focus on the things we are “giving up”.

Renew our minds and draw us back to our first love.
Prepare our hearts for Easter, for Your sacrifice and for Your Resurrection!
Amen.

MEDITATE ON THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Jesus answered Martha’s prayers on His own terms, not hers. Yet the outcome is much more than she could have imagined. If we are to be good stewards and protectors of the gifts God has given, we must begin by spending more time with God. It is a belief that in those moments when we most struggle, Jesus is there with us. We must listen for God’s help, so that in turn we are able to assist someone else who may be suffering. We need to give our time through prayerful listening.
 
May each of us, use our time as treasure to help build his kingdom on earth. May we have the courage to fulfill our role in the Divine Plan according to God’s will by “loving our neighbor as ourself.”

News & Events

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours

Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.”  As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:
  • lectio (reading)
  • meditatio (meditation)
  • contemplatio (contemplation)
  • and oratio (prayer)

Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray.

RESURRECTION PAINTING FUND UPDATE: As of December 31, 2022, $239,677.59 has been donated to the Resurrection Painting Fund. Thank you to all who have donated for these necessary repairs and painting. Please keep those contributions coming.
 

SPONSOR A SAINT

Upon closer examination of the statues; we see they are in a worse state than we thought. All are wooden with the exception of St Theresa which is a plastic. The idea was shared (and our first donation given) of a “Sponsor a Saint” fund since the more extensive work needed wasn’t included in the origin project. As of now, we don’t know the cost of these repairs. Of course any monies collected over and above will rollover to the general paint fund!

A little bird (ok, it was a drone) flew around the inside of Resurrection church to get a better look at some of the reasons we are needing to repair, replaster and paint! Thank you for your continued financial support to undertake this monumentous task! We received word that we were denied a grant by Sherwin-Williams.
RESURRECTION CHURCH PAINTING: The Resurrection Church building will temporarily close for painting beginning in January 2023. It will be closed for approximately five months. During this time all Masses will be celebrated at St. Clare of Assisi Church, this includes all Mass intentions scheduled at Resurrection. The Resurrection Parish Office will remain open during this time with normal business hours.
A first step! We have received a proposed computer rendition of the basic colors for the walls and ceiling of the church. The shade of the colors will be “tweaked.” The detailing is not portrayed in the picture. So the columns, blue arch around the sanctuary, capitals and lights around the body of the church are not “changed” in this picture. Again: this is NOT the final rendition simply a starting point.
Progress has been made! Due to scaffolding now being put up closer to the back of the church, choir loft and CAMERA, precautions had to be taken to insure the camera is kept safe from anything accidentally falling. You will not have access to a live view because of the lens being cover and protected from scratches and dirt. Daily postings will be shared in the meantime. Once the scaffolding is in place, we are hoping to uncover the camera….
