The assistance of our entire parish family is
needed to help us fulfill our obligation to
the diocese. If you have not yet made a
pledge, please do so NOW. If every
registered family makes a pledge, we will be
able to meet our obligation in no time at all.
God Bless You!
Offertory – Stuck in the Past?
Are you living in the past? Wouldn’t it be nice if the bills we
pay each month were the same as they were ten, or five or
even one year ago? Unfortunately they are not. That is the
same with the bills paid by the church. Are you still giving the
same amount from five or ten years ago? Isn’t it time to give
the church a raise? Don’t let your offering be stuck in the
past. Bring it back up to the present or even better, send it
into the future. Increase your offering today and live in the
future. Live in the future of your church.
Family Stewardship Corner
God created the world and everything in it. As
stewards of this world, we work toward a deep
appreciation of all creation, respect all human
life, and preservation of the environment.
Discuss how each family member is a steward
of the world. What actions have they done/
continue to do each day?

Pentecost Sunday
May 19, 2013
From the Pastor’s Desk
CORPUS
CHRISTI
PROCESSION
Sunday, June 2nd, 2013
“Laudetur Jesus Christus!” (Praised be Jesus Christ!)
It is hard to imagine that this Sunday is already Pentecost. It seems
like only yesterday we received ashes on our foreheads and were
singing “These Forty Days of Lent.” Now as we celebrate today’s
Solemnity of Pentecost we have the celebration of the Sacrament of
Confirmation to look forward to this Wednesday, May 22nd at 7:00
PM. We are pleased to welcome Bishop Peter J. Jugis who will confer
the Sacrament of Confirmation and be the Principal Celebrant at Holy
Mass.
As Catholics, we know that the Eucharist is the Source and
Summit of our lives. Come join us as we bear witness to
our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy
Eucharist with a Eucharistic Procession around our
neighborhood on the Feast of Corpus Christi, Sunday, June
2nd, 2013.
The procession will begin at the conclusion of the 10:00
AM Mass. All parish family members are invited to join in
the procession. Our Lady of Grace Students are
encouraged to participate in the procession and to wear
their uniforms to Mass that day.
During the month of June, several important events will be taking
place here at Our Lady of Grace. We will be hosting the second in
PLEASE NOTE: To allow time for the procession to return to
our series of organ recitals. Our guest organist for this event will be

Dr. Andre Lash who is a professor at UNCG. Check the bulletin for
June 2nd will begin at 12:00 NOON.
more information. All are invited to attend. Also during June we will
have a Eucharistic Procession immediately following the conclusion
of the 10:00 AM Mass on Sunday, June 2nd. This procession, during which we carry Our Lord present in the Blessed Sacrament, will
march around the parish property before returning to the high altar for Benediction. Check the bulletin for more details. We hope
our whole parish will join us for this wonderful and powerful witness to our faith.
June also will mark a period of transition, as a number of members of both Pastoral Council and Finance Council complete their
terms of service and new members begin their terms of service to and for our parish family. The hard work and dedication of our
current members has raised the standard very high for our newest members. I thank them for that and for their cooperation and
guidance during their term of service. As a parish family, we are very proud of them.
Barring any unforeseen delays, the tentative date to relocate the parish offices to St. Joseph’s House is the week of June 10 th. As I
mentioned previously, this date is subject to change. Should it change, we will announce the new date in the bulletin and on the
parish website. To date, only two people have come forward to volunteer to help pack boxes and move furniture during that week.
We need YOUR help! Please give Jenny a call and we’ll add your name to the list! Many hands make for light work! Please
remember, that during the week of the move, the parish offices will be closed for all business and phone calls including Mass cards,
etc. Also, please make a note of our new mailing address: 2201 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27403.
Finally, just a reminder and invitation to anyone who has yet to make a pledge for this year’s DSA: We are so very close to our goal,
but we need the help and sacrifices of ALL our parish family members if we are to meet our goal. My heartfelt appreciation goes out
to all who have made a pledge. Thank you!
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but if we stay positive and focused and continue to pull together, Our Lady of Grace Church will
continue to stand as a beacon of faith, hope and love in our community as she has for the last 60 years.
Our Lady of Grace, pray for us!

becomes less formidable with experience and
practice. Reading the traditional Gregorian chant notation is
a new experience, but one easily mastered with the help of
the director and the support of the rest of the
choir. Pronunciation is very easy, with only five Latin vowels,
and no exceptions to the rules.
What is the Latin Schola?
It is short for "Schola Cantorum" (school of singers) which
serves at the traditional Latin Mass used by the Church from
1570 until 1962, when the last Roman Missal in the old rite
was issued.
The “Tridentine” form (named for the Council of Trent in the
16th Century) was never suppressed but most bishops did
not promote it until Pope Benedict XVI declared in 2007 the
two forms are valid and can both be celebrated in one parish
without engendering division among the faithful. There is
hope that the two forms will enrich each other over time if
used with equal attention and resources.
After a short initial period of training, a schola singer can
participate as best fits his/her schedule, practicing at home
with the mp3s supplied, and with everyone two weeks
before, and the week before each Mass.
We find that the flow and structure of the liturgy become
familiar and appealing over time, and serving at Mass
becomes more rewarding every time!
Please direct inquiries to Brian Marble at
[email protected]. We welcome new singers (ages 1565) anytime during the year, and preliminary training can be
arranged at everyone’s convenience.
Jesus asked Peter,
Latin is used for the Tridentine Liturgy, although the readings
from Scripture are commonly repeated in the local language,
as is the homily of course!
“Could you not keep watch for one hour?” Mark 14:37
There are small differences in the Liturgical Calendar; for
example, Christ the King is always celebrated at the end of
October and not the Sunday before Advent. Also, there is one
cycle of readings for the year, not three.
We invite you to be an adorer at
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Thursdays
from 9:30 AM—6:00 PM
at Our Lady of Grace Church.
Many older Catholics remember the pre Vatican II Mass
mostly as the “Low Mass” with no dialogue with the
celebrant and four hymns. But there were (and still are)
other options. In the “Missa Cantata” (Sung Mass, not a High
Mass) there are chanted dialogues with the celebrant, the
Ordinary (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) sung by
all or by the schola (in chant or in choral arrangements), and
the Propers (specified texts for the Entrance, between the
readings, for Offertory, and Communion) sung by the
Schola. Four hymns (in Latin or the local language) can also
be added!
The hours especially needed are:
10:00—11:00 AM, 12:00 PM—1:00 PM
and 4:00—5:00 PM.
Our Lady of Grace takes full advantage of the options, since
we have a capable schola director and our pastor has an
excellent baritone voice!
During Offertory, Communion, and sometimes before or after
Mass, we like to offer choral anthems or solos or duets when
appropriate music and texts for the Sunday can be found.
In summary, it’s a rich banquet and a special treat for the
singers in the schola who are kept busy throughout the Mass
singing in various historical styles and in two languages. We
can, and do, draw on centuries of music written for the
Church!
Our OLG Schola currently serves about every other week at
the 1:30 PM Missa Cantata. This allows two weeks of
rehearsals for each Mass.
Though the Propers are different for each Sunday or Feast
Day in the Liturgical year, the Ordinary and the hymns don’t
have to be, so gradually the amount of new music to learn
Please note: 3:30—4:00 PM is the Children’s
Adoration and parents are welcome to bring young
children and infants.

Couples who attend Worldwide Marriage Encounter
weekends not only rediscover the joy, intimacy &
romance in their relationships, but also become more
active into their parish. Together, we are making
marriages, families and our Church stronger &
healthier.
Today we celebrate the feast of Pentecost – the
sending of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, the Comforter
to come and dwell in us, God’s children. Open your
heart wide and invite the Holy Spirit in to dive even
deeper in your relationship with God. The Holy Spirit is
here to lead, guide and instruct us in the ways of God,
the ways of love. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into a
deeper relationship with your spouse and with God; sign
up to attend the next Worldwide Marriage Encounter
weekend.
The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Weekends are Jun 21-23, 2013 in Raleigh, NC and

information visit our website at: http://

THE FOUR STAGES
OF MARRIAGE are: (1)
Romance, (2) Disillusionment, (3) Misery, and (4)
Awakening. Many marriages experience the first three
stages, but marriages that end in divorce never make it
to the fourth stage of Awakening. Don’t give up without
learning how to reawaken your marriage. If your
marriage suffers from Disillusionment or Misery, please
contact us about Retrouvaille. For confidential
information or to apply for the program beginning
