Read responses given by the various United States dioceses in preparation for the Synod on Synodality
Early last year, parishes and other groups throughout the world were invited to participate in the synodal process by the Holy Father.  Individuals relayed issues that they felt strongly about in regards to “Church Life” either by meeting in small groups, gathering on Zoom conferences, or simply by responding in survey form.  The results of these discussions were then to be summarized and passed on to the diocese.  In turn, the diocese would then recap the responses received and pass these onto their respective regional office of the USCCB.  The regional office would condense the responses that it received and submit its report to the USCCB, who then would pass on a final document to the Vatican.
 
The report has from the diocese of Altoona-Johnstown has not been made public.  However,  a copy of the report compiled by the Region III office, with includes our diocese, is available.  If interested, a copy can be found below.

​THE FEAST DAY OF  ST. COLUMBA - JUNE 9

Be a bright flame before me,
O God, and a guiding star above me.
Be a smooth path below me,
a kindly shepherd behind me;
today, tonight, and forever.
Alone with none but you, my God
I journey on my way;
what need I fear when you are near,
O Lord of night and day.
More secure am I within your hand
than if a multitude did round me stand. Amen

ST. COLUMBA PRAY FOR US!

THE FEAST DAY OF ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA
JUNE 13
Dear St. Anthony,
you loved God so much when you lived upon the earth.
You were known, even then, as a great wonder-worker,
so great did His power live in you.
Now that you are in heaven,
you share in God’s glory and in His power
in a more perfect way.
Look on us with kindness
as we come to you in our need.
We pray for healing for all who are in need of it.  Amen

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PRAY FOR US!

CCW PRAYERS FOR HAITI: The Sisters of the Carmelite Community of the Word invite you to join us in three days of prayer,  June 25, 26 & 27, in honor of Mother of Perpetual Help for the needs of the people of Haiti. The situation in Haiti is tragic and there is little intervention by the world community to alleviate the suffering of the people. In the midst of the turmoil that exists in Haiti at the present time we ask your help in praying for a resolution to the violence, starvation and isolation that plagues the people of Haiti. A recent article details what life is like in Haiti right now. It highlights the very urgent need for our prayers. Please visit the following website: https://reliefweb.int/report/haiti/not-country-where-you-can-dream-shattered-hopes-haitian-people  
 
The Feast of the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ has deep significance to those living the stewardship way of life. The most precious gifts God has given us are His Word and His Body and Blood.

They are all we need to sustain us in this world and guide us to heaven. Let us resolve to steward these precious gifts well with all our hearts, always. This is the essence of a stewardship way of life.

​Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion
​ under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America

Holy Communion has a fuller form as a sign when it is distributed under both kinds. From the first days of the Church’s celebration of the Eucharist, Holy Communion consisted of the reception of both species in fulfillment of the Lord’s command to “take and eat…take and drink.”  The distribution of Communion to the faithful under both kinds was the norm for more than a millennium of Catholic liturgical practice. For in this form the sign of the Eucharistic banquet is more clearly evident and expression is given to the divine will by which the new and eternal Covenant is ratifies in the Blood of the Lord.
​
C.f. General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 2011, Number 281.
Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion under Both Kinds in the Diocese of United States of America, 2112, Numbers 17-20.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a prayer that was revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska in 19351. It is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades and is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on ordinary Rosary beads. See the link below for specific instructions for praying chaplet or the novena.

Use the link below to go to the Divine Mercy page. Each day, the prayers will only take about 10 minutes of your time.

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.

THE PAINTING OF RESURRECTION CHURCH COMPLETED

Reprinted from the May 25 issue of the Tribune-Democrat

The Rev. George Gulash, pastor of Resurrection Roman Catholic Church in Johnstown, talks about preservation work done to the church’s interior during an interview on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.  By Dave Sutor
dsutor@tribdem.com

It was the first time comprehensive changes were made to the interior appearance of the century-old structure in about three decades, according to the pastor. Gulash said people who enter the church in Johnstown’s Cambria City Historic District will now feel “embraced by the building itself.”

“As we have said from the very beginning, this isn’t a restoration,” Gulash said.

“We did not go through old photographs and return to the way things were.

“It’s not a renovation because we didn’t change anything. But it’s a preservation for the next 30 years. This will be handed onto the next generation until they will need to address issues that occur naturally.”

The old muted paint scheme, with plenty of light mauve, is gone.

In its place, rich colors – blue representing Heaven, along with fireweed (a rosy brown hue), green and gold, which are still present in the original tile aisle – were used. Gulash said “now everything kind of ties together from top to bottom.”
Craftsmen used old-school techniques passed down from Elias Ghantous, a Lebanese immigrant, to his son, Albert Ghantous, owner of the Johnstown-based company.

“His love for painting of churches really runs deep with me and my family,” Albert Ghantous said. “We’ve talked about the labor of love thing. It’s more than that. It goes deep. It goes spiritually for us. If I could only do churches, that’s all we would do. We wouldn’t do anything else.”

The public will receive the opportunity to see the new look this weekend during church services and the first SundayMarket@CambriaCity of the season.

Ghantous plans to be present.

“I’m going to have to fight back tears, I can tell you that,” Ghantous said. “The ultimate reward is to see everybody enjoying it. And that’s why we do it. We do it to make sure that these houses of the Lord are maintained properly. It creates also a good atmosphere for worship. That’s really important.”

A Mass is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday. Resurrection will also hold Masses at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and a 4 p.m. prayer service on Sunday, which is Pentecost, a holiday that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus Christ’s Apostles and other followers.

The church was closed during the preservation process.

“Pentecost is often referred to as the birthday of the Catholic Church, so it is very appropriate for Resurrection Parish to celebrate this rebirth, of sorts, this weekend on the Solemnity of Pentecost,” Tony DeGol, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown’s communications secretary, wrote in an email interview. “Bishop (Mark) Bartchak sends heartfelt blessings and congratulations to the Resurrection faith community as parishioners return to their newly preserved church.

“May the Holy Spirit continue to guide Father Gulash and the faithful as they encounter Christ inside their beautiful worship space and proclaim the Gospel well beyond those four walls.”
