The Italian Parish of Indianapolis

B envenuto! Welcome to Holy Rosary

Church! Whether you are a lifelong

parishioner, a first-time visitor to our

parish, or someone in between, we

are grateful you have joined us today.

Founded in 1909 as the Italian Parish of

Indianapolis, we continue to serve as

the parish home of people of Italian

heritage and also embrace all Catholics

in union with Rome, including those

devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass

(Extraordinary Form) and the Anglican

Usage of the Roman Rite.

In the words of our founding pastor,

Msgr. Marino Priori:

“The church is the temple of the

Lord, the gate of heaven. Come after a

week of earthly cares, after so much

toil, after so many sorrows, after so

much pain. Rest your limbs. Regenerate

your spirit at the sources of grace.

Raise your mind to God; thank Him for

the benefits received through His

creation and in daily life; ask for

strength so you can win all of life’s

struggles, and be able to posses the

fruits of redemption.”

You’ll want to allow extra time for driving to morning Mass on Saturday

The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon foot race on Saturday, Nov. 4, will disrupt traffic patterns

throughout the city as far south as the general area near Holy Rosary and as far north as 66th Street and Col-

lege Avenue. In the area not too far from our church, some streets are expected to be closed between about

7:45 a.m. until around 8:45 a.m. While this will have no direct impact on streets immediately outside the

church, it could pose travelers some difficulty getting to Holy Rosary for Mass that morning. To view the

entire course map, visit www.monumentalmarathon.com.

A ll Saints Day is a Solemnity (high feast). To

understand this feast day it is important to un-

derstand what a saint is. There are two types of saints

in the Church. The word “saint” actually just means

“holy.” In this sense anyone who has been entirely

sanctified by God’s loving grace and is with Him in

heaven is a saint. The way we normally speak of the

saints refers to canonized* saints, those formally rec-

ognized by the Church.

All Saints Day celebrates not just those canonized

saints but all of those faithfully departed who have

received their eternal reward. It is a “catch-all” day.

It is also the day on which we as Christians are called

to reflect on our own noble call from God to be

saints. As we remember all of those who are in

heaven, we look not just to love and to admire them

but also to imitate them.

The Feast of All Souls dates back to the practices of

Benedictine monks in the sixth century. It is based on

the Church’s teaching that “all who die in God’s

grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified,

are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after

death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the

holiness necessary to enter the joy of

heaven” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1030).

The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final

purification of the elect, which is entirely different

from the punishment of the damned (CCC, No. 1031).

Even before the feast of All Souls developed, the

Church had begun the practice of praying for the dead.

In the fourth century St. John Chrysostom wrote:

Let us help and commemorate them (the dead). If

Job’s sons were purified by their father’s sacrifice,

why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead

bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to

help those who have died and to offer our prayers for

them (CCC, No. 1032).

Pope St. Gregory the Great in the sixth century of-

fered similar insight into the Church’s teaching on

Purgatory:

As for certain lesser faults, we must believe that, be-

fore the Final Judgment, there is a purifying fire. He

who is truth says that whoever utters blasphemy

against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this

age nor in the age to come. From this sentence we un-

derstand that certain offenses can be forgiven in this

age, but certain others in the age to come (CCC, No.

1031).

This same teaching is repeated and reaffirmed in

the Second Council of Lyons (13th century), the

Council of Florence (15th century), the Council of

Trent (16th century) and in countless other magiste-

rial documents throughout history. For those who are

not perfected in this life, God continues to extend His

loving mercy into the next.

In this life we come to know the love of God

through the sacraments and prayer, but also through

the kindness, teaching, prayers and sacrifices of fel-

low Christians. When our brothers and sisters in

Christ are separated from us by death, our relation-

ship changes but does not end. Just as we help the

living by our prayers and sacrifices, God allows us to

continue to show the souls of the departed His love

in our prayers and sacrifices. The souls of the faith-

fully departed are made more open to God’s purify-

ing love through their experience of our intercession

on their behalf.

Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor

All Saints and All Souls days

* — A “canonized saint” is a saint who has gone through a formal process that recognizes not just the fact that they are

in heaven by God’s grace, but also that they cooperated so well with the grace of God in their earthly life that they are

worthy of imitation by us all.
