La Chiesa del Santo Rosario Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church 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 possess the fruits of redemption.” February 10, 2019 Ordinary Form: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Extraordinary Form: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany Anglican Use: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany Mailing address: 520 Stevens St. Indianapolis, IN 46203 Telephone number: 317-636-4478 Emergency number: 317-636-4478, ext. 3 E-mail address: [email protected]Website: www.holyrosaryindy.org Facebook: www.facebook.com/holyrosaryindy Twitter: https://twitter.com/holyrosaryindy Parish Staff and Leadership: The Rev.

w hen speaking of the Trinity, I often have re-
minded people that we can possess only lim-
ited understanding of the Trinity because it is a mys-
tery. That answer feels unsatisfying to many, and I
have to admit that it is. However, I also remind peo-
ple that every person is a mystery. As much as one
may try, even given a lifetime of intimate knowledge
and experience of another person — in marriage for
instance — there are still things that we just do not
know about another. It is that mystery, in part, that
makes relationships with other persons so exciting
and desirable. There is always more to know and,
often, the more you know about a person the greater
a mystery they seem.
This past January 19th, our parish lost one of the great
and beautiful mysteries that has colored the life of Holy
Rosary for decades, Michael T. Bayt. Most of the par-
ish knew Michael, or at least knew who he was. If you
did not, you probably would have recognized him
when you saw him. He was the man who was in charge
of the collection and the entrance bells at the 4:30 Sat-
urday evening Mass, and Michael had Down Syn-
drome. You could see some of the telltale characteris-
tics in some of his physical features, and if you noticed
it you immediately would underestimate him.
I know I did — and not just once. There was (and
this should be no surprise to someone like myself
who preaches and teaches it every time he opens his
mouth about the Trinity) a real and beautiful mystery
to the person, Michael Bayt. He had a clever wit and
humor that I am quite certain consciously took ad-
vantage of the fact that people would underestimate
him. He had a marvelous ability to take underestima-
tion of himself and turn it back on you in a discus-
sion. His siblings related countless stories of being
outmaneuvered by Michael in discussions, something
I was all too familiar with in my attempts to banish
his fountain Pepsi
from church.
There are in many
countries and places
these days attempts
to eliminate Down
Syndrome. What this
actually means is the
elimination of peo-
ple with Down Syn-
drome. This geno-
cide is usually moti-
vated by some sort
of pride and selfish-
ness masked in a
veneer of humani-
tarianism. Pray for
those people and
places. They are stealing from themselves the privi-
lege of knowing and loving some of the more beauti-
ful mysteries that God has brought into this world.
Michael was warm and affectionate. He was devout
and always insisted on an extra “special blessing” for
himself after Mass. He was dedicated to the jobs he
filled at the parish. And, as I learned from his friends
and family at his funeral services, he was much
more. He was to me, and to the parish, and I know to
his family, a real blessing. I am a better man for hav-
ing known him. I pray that I am worthy to know
more of the mystery of Michael Bayt in the life to
come.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let the Per-
petual Light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor
A great and beautiful mystery
Michael T. Bayt (1965-2019)
A t times it is difficult to find a reason for what appears only as an obstacle to be overcome or
even as pain — physical or emotional — to be endured. Yet faith and understanding help us to
see a horizon beyond our own selves in order to imagine life as God does. God’s unconditional love,
which gives life to every human individual, points to a meaning and purpose for all human life. His
is a saving love (cf. Jn 12:32). As Christians profess, it is through the Cross that Jesus in fact draws us
into eternal life, and in so doing indicates to us the way ahead — the way of hope which guides
every step we take along the way, so that we too become bearers of that hope and charity for others. — Pope Benedict XVI, address on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, May 8, 2009
