The Roman Missal is the official prayer book of the church. We will be using this forum (pastor’s column) and other faith formation forums to educate ourselves on what this will mean for us. There is a Latin phrase, Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, that says in short: “As the Church prays, so she believes.” This is why the prayers of the priest and the prayers of the faithful are so important. For centuries the catholic faith was passed on just through the prayers of the Mass. Some of you may have grown up with the Latin Mass and if you were an altar server you quickly learned the response. For instance, The priest would begin Mass saying “Dominus Vobiscum” and the people would respond, “Et cum spiritu tuo”. In English this was translated as “The Lord be with you…… And also with you.” By implementing the Roman Missal the Church is looking to become more faithful to the original Latin texts so certain Mass parts will have different responses. For instance, the introduction of “The Lord be with you” will be followed by “And with your spirit.” If I were to write a book entitled “Catholicism for dummies” (apparently such a book has already been written!) I would say one thing: words sometimes have varied meanings. In fact English words have evolved in their usage. The implementation of the Roman Missal is an attempt to get back to the original meanings of the words. The first English translation of the Roman Missal was completed quickly in 1969. It aimed for a “spirit” of the texts rather than an exact literal translation of the Latin words. In 2001, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the liturgical commission in Rome, issued a document outlining the methodology and process for translating literal texts into vernacular languages. The document Liturgiam Authenticam, called for a more literal translation of the original Latin, and so a group of scholars, poets, and theologians convened and worked painstakingly to provide the current English translation. What will be implemented on the first Sunday in Advent will be the fruit of those efforts. What you will find is that the prayers of the Mass have a rich, meaningful history going back in some cases 2,000 years! By becoming more aware of the prayers at Mass and the significance of our own personal responses, it will help all of us to become more aware of the awesome gift that is the Mass. Look forward to more about this exciting implementation here and through the Four County Catholic and other catholic resources. Thank you for your faith in the Eucharist and in the prayers of the Mass. You build my faith.

The Organ Committee Dear Members of the St. Patrick Parish Family, In just a few short months 47 of our young people will be receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion. I am asking each member of our parish family to spiritually support these children by becoming a prayer partner. If you wish to participate please take a child’s name from the basket in front of the tabernacle and offer prayers for the child until their First Holy Communion date which is indicated on the card. If you wish, you may send a card or note to the child on their First Communion by leaving it in the basket. Thank you for your generosity and prayers. In Christ’s Peace, Dani Annino Director of Faith Formation Page Six February 6, 2011 Annual Bishop’s Appeal to change the name to Annual Catholic Appeal The Annual Bishop’s Appeal (ABA) was initiated in 1978 to provide for the ever-increasing educational, human, pastoral, and spiritual needs of the people of New London, Windham, Middlesex, and Tolland counties and Fishers Island. The Appeal enables our Church to implement and administer these and other critical services in a comprehensive framework in order to carry out the work of Jesus Christ. It would not be possible to carry out His work without your assistance. Through the Annual Bishop’s Appeal, the Catholic Church of Eastern Connecticut assists elderly persons in need, families in crises, people who are homeless, lonely, vulnerable, youth, young adults, and our parishes and Catholic schools. The Appeal also enables the Church to promote social justice, respect for human life and to communicate with all who seek to hear the teachings of Jesus Christ. Through their assigned campaign goal, every Parish and Mission is required to support our Diocesan operations, services and ministries that in turn meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of thousands throughout our four county faith community that one Parish could not meet alone. This allows each one of us, as one, united in faith, to fulfill God’s call to spread the good news and to love and serve one another. As we prepare for the conduct of the 2011 Annual Appeal, we are pleased to announce a number of changes and improvements for this year’s campaign. In an effort to better describe the comprehensive nature of the Appeal, we have decided to rename the campaign: The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). The time frame of the ‘active phase’ of the campaign will be changed to coincide with the Lenten Season. The Deanery Socials will be modified from seven Parish-based functions to three Diocesan-wide Socials. The traditional PreAppeal and In-Pew Commitment weekends will be ‘shiftedaway’ from the first two weekends in May to avoid conflicts with First Eucharist Liturgies at the Parishes. For the 2011 Annual Catholic Appeal, Pre-Appeal Weekend will be March 26/27, 2011 and the In Pew Commitment Weekend will be April 2/3, 2011. This year's Appeal theme is "Do This in Memory of Me," which is part of the Eucharistic Prayer of Mass. ST. PATRICK GUILD VALENTINE POTLUCK DINNER TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2011 6:30 p.m. ALL ARE WELCOME!
