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.”

MASS INTENTIONS: The standard stipend for Masses in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis is $10. Requests should indicate whether people are living or de-

ceased, and must be typed or written legibly. We will attempt to honor requested dates, but cannot guarantee they will be available. We recommend such

requests be made at least eight months in advance. Except in the year of an individual’s death, no more than 12 Saturday evening/Sunday Masses may be

requested or offered for the repose of his/her soul in a calendar year. Intentions that cannot be offered here within a year of reception are, at the pastor’s

discretion, subject to being sent to the archdiocesan Mission Office. Make checks payable to Holy Rosary Church.

J esus has prepared not just one Host, but one for every day of our life. The Hosts for us

are ready. Let us not forfeit even one of them. — St. Peter Julian Eymard

Bishops designate Jan. 22

as day of prayer, penance

C atholics throughout the United States are to

observe Monday, Jan. 22, as a day of penance

and prayer for the protection of unborn children.

Fasting and abstaining from meat is the traditional

penance recommended by the Church, but other

forms of penance may be substituted. Prayer for the

unborn may be performed in many ways, and we

recommend attending Mass. At Holy Rosary, we

will offer Mass at 7:30 a.m. (Ordinary Form) and

5:45 p.m. (Extraordinary Form).

The local March for Life also takes place that day

in downtown Indianapolis; details are on Page 3 of

this bulletin. Archbishop Thompson will celebrate

Mass at noon at St. John the Evangelist Church,

126 W. Georgia St.

The following is an explanation of the annual ob-

servance from the website of the United States

Conference of Catholic Bishops, usccb.org:

The over 56 million abortions since the 1973

decisions of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton

reflect with heartbreaking magnitude what

Pope Francis means by a “throwaway culture.”

However, we have great trust in God’s provi-

dence. We are reminded time and again in

Scripture to seek the Lord’s help, and as people

of faith, we believe that our prayers are heard.

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal,

No. 373, designates Jan. 22 as a particular day

of prayer and penance, called the “Day of

Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Chil-

dren”: “In all the Dioceses of the United States

of America, Jan. 22 (or Jan. 23, when Jan. 22

falls on a Sunday) shall be observed as a par-

ticular day of prayer for the full restoration of

the legal guarantee of the right to life and of

penance for violations to the dignity of the hu-

man person committed through acts of abor-

tion.”

As individuals, we are called to observe this

day through the penitential practices of prayer,

fasting and/or giving alms. Another way to take

part is through participating in special events to

observe the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Jan. 22nd

is a day of prayer and penance

for all Catholics in the United States

A great prayer for life is urgently

throughout the world. Through special ini-

tiatives and in daily prayer, may an impas-

sioned plea rise to God, the Creator and

lover of life, from every Christian commu-

nity, from every group and association,

from every family and from the heart of

every believer. — Pope St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitæ

T he care of human life and happiness,

and not their destruction, is the first

and only object of good government. — President Thomas Jefferson, March 31, 1809
