September 12, 2021 Renewed Focus on Liturgy
Dear Friends in Christ: Anh chị em thân mến trong Chúa Kitô:
Estimados Amigos y Amigas en Cristo:
On September 1, Cardinal DiNardo promulgated a letter implementing the Holy Father’s norms of Traditionis Custodes, which gives new directives for the oversight of the Tridentine Mass. While the letter is too long to fit in this space and contains details about specific parishes that have been celebrating Mass in the Extraordinary Form, there are parts of the letter good for all of the faithful to review, even though we do not celebrate the Extraordi-nary Form at the Co-Cathedral Parish:
—————
To all Priests and Deacons, and to All the Lay Faithful of Galveston-Houston,
The liturgy is not only the gathering point into unity of all that is scattered, but also the summons home to the Father through the action of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit in that gathering, thus creating harmony from among diverse and even occasionally discordant voices. There Grace is given to all the members of the liturgical assembly to go forth and to sanctify the world in which they live.
On July 16th of this year, Pope Francis published a motu proprio letter, Traditionis Custodes, and accompanied it with another letter by which he enacts certain reforms for the celebration of the Holy Mass according to the Roman Missal of 1962. This form of the Roman Rite has also been known as the Extraordinary Form or the Tridentine Form of the Mass. The Holy Father's motu proprio ends the permissions and directions that had been promulgated by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI in the 2007 di-rective Summorum Pontificum, which eased previous re-strictions and allowed great latitude in celebrating the Tridentine Form of the Mass.
Both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI hoped that allowing more freedom for priests to celebrate the Tridentine Form of the Mass would bring about greater unity and concord in the Church, and a mutual respect of the two forms of the Roman Rite. Pope Francis has writ-ten that such unity has not taken place. He has decided to restrict and modify the Tridentine observance of the Ro-man Rite.
The Holy Father now leaves it to the diocesan bishop to moderate the celebration of Holy Mass according to the Roman Missal of 1962. With this letter I formally convey
the manner by which I am implementing the directives of Traditionis Custodes within the Archdiocese of Gal-veston-Houston...
[Section omitted here concerned directives for Annuncia-tion Parish, Regina Caeli Parish, St. Theresa in Sugar Land, St. Bartholomew in Katy, and Prince of Peace.]
...I would now like to turn my attention again to the cele-bration of the Sacred Liturgy in general, as a follow-up to what I wrote in the opening paragraph of this letter. The clergy and those being formed for Holy Orders should cultivate a love for the liturgy which manifests itself in a fidelity to liturgical rubrics, decorum, sound preaching, and sense of reverent confidence when celebration the liturgy. This holds true for the celebration of all the sac-raments, as well as sacramentals.
We should take care that our personalities and individual preferences do not dominate our manner of liturgical cel-ebration. The rubrics of the Roman Missal of 1962 are not to be added to the celebration of Mass according to the current edition of the Roman Missal of 1970. Like-wise, anything unbecoming or foreign to the celebration of the Mass as it is prescribed in the Roman Missal is to be avoided.
Private devotions or acts of popular piety are praisewor-thy and help to deepen one’s love for Almighty God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the saints. However, private devotions by their nature are to be kept separate from the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. Ritual actions, ges-tures, and prayers not prescribed in the Roman Missal are not to be included in the celebration of Mass. Acts of popular piety and private devotion may be carried out after the Mass is concluded...
...With my gratitude to all the clergy of this local Church for your pastoral ministry, and with assurances of my prayers for all the faithful, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ, +Daniel Cardinal DiNardoArchbishop of Galveston-Houston

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in You. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Very Reverend Jeffrey L. Bame Rector & Parish Administrator

Diocesan Services Fund: Thanks to all who have contrib-uted thus far in 2021. As of last weekend we have reached our goal for the year. Unlike past years when we have needed the full year to get to our goal, this year we were blessed with an extraordinary $50,000 gift that helped us reach our goal much earlier. We cannot count on a gift like this every year, so I en-courage everyone to see through with their pledges. Due to the pandemic this year every dollar given to DSF over goal comes back to our parish, so please keep giving. Your generosity is critical for the sixty plus ministries that depend on this funding as well as the continued flourishing of our parish. Welcome Back!: This weekend we welcome back the Cor Jesu Choir at the 11am Mass. In addition, faith formation clas-ses and various ministry groups are beginning to meet in per-son starting this week. This marks another milestone for our parish as we get back to the heart of what we do.
*Includes an extraordinary gift of $50,000.
