This year, 2015 - “The Year for Consecrated Life”, is dedicated to an important and rich aspect of Catholic life -- the
religious orders of men and women. Holy Souls Parish would
like to remember and honor these special people by collecting stories of how they have influenced us -- they could be
funny stories (like a sister playing kickball) or serious stories (like words of wisdom that influenced you). These
stories will be compiled and kept as part of our history
and also shared with the religious communities who
commited their lives to serving us. Please send your stories
to the church office - [email protected].
Needed for 4pm, 8am & 10am Masses
COULD YOU HELP?
We need ushers at the 4pm Mass on Saturday and the 8am
and 10am Masses on Sunday. Ushers serve a very important
role in the Liturgy; they are important for safety, seating,
taking up the collection, and security among other things. If
we get enough parishioners to volunteer, men and women,
we could limit serving to once a month. At this time, some
ushers are serving almost every Sunday. We are a large
parish and hopefully some of you can come forward and
volunteer your time. Please contact Laura in the church office
or Pete Stabnick at 663-2032.

The peace ceremony…
Memorial Golf
Tournament
Sponsored by the
Holy Souls Men’s Club
The first words of the risen Lord to his disciples in John’s
Gospel are used in the sign of peace at Mass. There is
evidence that this ceremony was part of the Mass in Rome
as early as the second century. The sign of peace was
given after the general intercessions (formerly called the
prayers of the faithful; now known as the universal prayer).
Probably it was placed there because Jesus had said that
if those bringing their gift to the altar recall that their neighbor
has something against them, they should leave their gift
there and go and be reconciled. In the fourth century, the
peace ceremony was moved to a place after the Our Father
– probably because of the final petition of that prayer: “Forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us.” Over the course of centuries, the peace ceremony came
to be exchanged only among the clergy and, eventually,
only at a solemn high Mass. It was given back to the whole
assembly in the reform of the liturgy after the Second
Vatican Council. An excerpt from The Little White Book

Interesting information about the sign of peace, when we
turn and look at each other and for a brief moment exchange
words of welcome to our neighbors at mass. Just like Christ
saying to his apostles, “peace be with you, my peace I
give you”. What a wonderful world this would be if we could
all live by those words. God guides us all in simple ways to
live a life of goodness and love, to follow him in all that we
do. We can choose to follow these directions and be the
people that God wants us to be or we can choose not to; it
is that simple. It is how we live that is important. It is how
we spread his word that is important; in word and in action.
FOOD:
Following the tournament, there will be
a hamburger/hot dog dinner at the course
for all for all players. Tournament prizes
will also be awarded at the course.
