MESSAGE FROM FATHER

“Paschal Reflections”

MESSAGE FROM FATHER Christos anesti! Alithos anesti! Christ is risen! Truly He is risen! By the time you will be in receipt of this issue of the “Spirit”, either electronically or by hard copy, we will have celebrated Holy Pascha. Etched in our short term memories will be the can-dle lit service, the melodies of the Paschal liturgy, and the receiving of Holy Communion in the wee hours of the early morning. Fresh in our minds, will be the joyous cracking of our red-dyed Easter eggs with our family and fellow parishioners. Perhaps you can still hear ringing in your ears the Paschal Apolytikion (Christos Anesti). Some of you will have ventured over to the Community Center to have soup and sweets. All of our paschal experiences have made an indel-ible impression upon us. Holy Pascha is considered the feast-of-feasts of the Orthodox calendar year. All of the Church’s feasts point to, or find their completion in, Holy Pascha. It is the pinnacle of the Or-thodox year. The Holy Church has determined that Holy Pascha is not merely to be a one day celebration but rather an entire week. This week is referred to as “Bright Week”. Festivities, lav-ish meals and joyous get togethers are meant to fill this time. After forty-two days of Great Lent and Holy Week fast/and regimentation of services, this festiveness seems appropriate. In a mystical way, our paschal celebration is a foretaste of the “Wedding supper of the Lamb” prefigured in Rev. 19:9. It points to and prefigures our union with Christ in the future life in the kingdom of heaven. It is the risen Jesus who invites all believers to this festive celebration. It can be correctly stated that our entire Faith is based on Christ’s Resurrection. Because Je-sus rose from the dead, we know that He will, also raise us from the dead. In Jn.14:2-3, we hear the words of Jesus, “in my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will also come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” The resurrection is so central to the Christian Faith that the faithful are referred to as the “people of the Resurrection”. It is our firm belief in the resurrection of the dead that instills the Christian with joy and hope. It is this belief that imparts to the devout believer the strength and inner peace to rise above sorrows, setbacks, tragedies, and human loss of this temporal life. He is firmly convinced that there is life beyond death. It is the resurrected life that he anticipates. Therefore, he is able to bear the crosses of this passing life. As I draw this message to a close, I wish you and yours a blessed Pascha. Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen!

Patriarchal and Synodical Encyclical on the Convocation of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church

Mar 18, 2016 ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE Prot. No.: 314 PATRIARCHAL AND SYNODICAL ENCYCLICAL ON THE CONVOCATION OF THE HOLY AND GREAT COUNCIL OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH † B A R T H O L O M E W BY THE MERCY OF GOD ARCHBISHOP OF CONSTANTINOPLE, NEW-ROME, AND ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH TO THE PLENITUDE OF THE CHURCH, GRACE AND PEACE FROM GOD Our holy Orthodox Church, adorned in purple and fine linen by the blood of her martyrs, the tears of her Saints, and the struggles and sacrifices of her confessors of faith, celebrates today her nameday. Following a century-long struggle, this day was appropriately identified as the Sunday of Orthodoxy, marking the day in which truth shone and triumphed over falsehood through the veneration of holy icons as the bearers of the personal presence and di-vine grace of the incarnate Son and Logos of God and of His saints. In this way, it was acknowledged and pro-claimed for all time that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14), honoring and sanctifying material creation and our body in order to render them partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter, 1:4), partakers in divine grace and life. On the way to this great and salvific truth—which was attacked by those who refused to venerate holy icons—the triumph of truth over falsehood treaded along the same path followed by the Church from the beginning of her history, namely the truth of conciliarity. The distinction between truth and falsehood—orthodoxy and heresy—is not always easily discernible. Even heretics believed, and continue to believe, that they possessed the truth; moreo-ver, there will always be some who shall consider those who do not agree with their position as “heretics.” The Orthodox Church, in this case, recognizes only one authority: the Council of her canonical hierarchs. Beyond a conciliar decision, the distinction between orthodoxy and heresy is not possible. The Church’s dogmas and holy canons bear the seal of conciliarity. Orthodoxy is the conciliar Church. The Orthodox Church has always emphasized this ecclesiological authority, and implements it faithfully on the local level. For centuries, this has also occurred on an ecumenical or pan-orthodox level; however, for historical circumstances, it has been interrupted for quite some time. Today, we find ourselves in a position to officially an-nounce from our ecumenical throne that, by the grace of God, and with the consent of all the Primates of the Holy Orthodox Churches, that we will realize a decision taken more than fifty years ago and convene the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church on the island of Crete on June 18-27, 2016. The Council shall begin its work with a pan-Orthodox celebration of the Divine Liturgy in the Holy Church of Saint Menas, Heraklion, Crete, on the great and auspicious Feast of Pentecost. Deliberations shall proceed at the Orthodox Academy in Kolymbari, Cha-nia. Our Modesty shall preside over the Holy and Great Council, with the other Primates of Orthodox Churches at our side; other hierarchs shall participate as members of the Council through the official delegation of these Churches. Continued on page 7

7

Continued from page 6 The foremost and most important goal of this Pan-Orthodox Council shall be to teach that the Orthodox Church is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, united in the Sacraments—especially in the Holy Eucharist, in the Orthodox faith, but also in conciliarity. To this end, ongoing planning for the Council has occurred through a series of Preparatory Committees and Pre-Conciliar Conferences, ensuring the unanimous spirit of the Council’s decisions and that her message is conveyed in one voice and in one heart. The issues—already delineated on a pan-orthodox level by the time the convocation of the Council was decided—that shall be reviewed by the Holy and Great Council primarily focus on matters relating to the internal operation and life of the Orthodox Church; for this reason, they must be immediately resolved. Moreover, there are issues pertaining to the relations of Ortho-doxy with the rest of the Christian world, as well as the mission of the Church in our time. We certainly recognize that the world awaits to hear the voice of the Orthodox Church on many pressing problems that humanity faces today. However, it was deemed necessary that the Orthodox Church should first settle internal matters before speaking to or addressing the world, which is still considered her obligation. The fact that Orthodoxy will express its conciliarity on a global level after the passing of so many centuries constitutes a first and most decisive step that, by the grace of God, is expected to lead to the con-vening of further Pan-Orthodox Councils, soon thereafter. Beloved brethren and children in the Lord, Great historic events are guided by the grace of God, Who, ultimately, is the Lord of History. We might sow and labor; how-ever, only God multiplies (1 Cor. 3:8). The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church indeed constitutes a historic event and we therefore place our hope in God for its realization. We call upon the Orthodox faithful in the world—clergy and laity—to pray to the Triune God that He may crown this event with His blessings, fortifying His Church to the glory of His name. We live in critical times and the unity of the Church must serve as the example of unity for a humanity torn apart by divisions and conflicts. The success of the Holy and Great Council concerns every member of the Church, who are invited to share their interests thereon. The texts that have been agreed upon on a pan-orthodox level and which have been submitted to the Holy and Great Council have already been made publicly available to every faithful of good will. These texts are not only intended to inform and update the faithful, but to also elicit their opinions and expectations of the Holy and Great Council. Having announced this to the plenitude of the Orthodox Church throughout the world on this auspicious day, we pray that the lord God bestow upon His Church and all of you His abundant grace and blessing, and to the world peace at all times in all ways (2 Thes. 3:16). 20 March, in the year of our Lord, 2016 † Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople Your fervent supplicant to God † Metropolitan John of Pergamon, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Isaiah of Denver, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Iakovos of the Prince Islands, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Joseph of Prikonisos, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Meliton of Philadelphia, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Emmanuel of France, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Nikitas of the Dardanelles, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Nicholas of Detroit, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Gerasimos of San Francisco, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Maximos of Selymbria, supplicant in Christ † Metropolitan Amphilochios of Adrianopolis, supplicant in Christ

Stewardship, NOT

Membership:

Dig Deep

INTO YOUR HEART Are you or someone you love in need?

Please, reach out for help- the ‘giver’ is

blessed along with the ‘receiver’! You don’t

have to suffer. (Prov 11:25,2COR 9:7)

Do you see something within our parish-

which you KNOW can be improved?

Share your knowledge! Two blades

sharpen one another (PROV 27:17)

Too tired to bake for the holidays this year?

Make a purchase at the Philoptochos Bake Sale. In doing so, you’re supporting countless

ministries- from feeding orphans in Greece to

helping to send that blessed child in the next

pew to church camp. (MAT 18:2, Psalm 8:2)

Prefer to give anonymously? Thank you for your self-less generosity! Please fill out a

time and talent card. (MAT 6:3)

Our PART is our STEWARDSHIP …invoking free will to determine the extent to which we choose to commit ourselves to living out our Orthodox Christian values.

Why a Stewardship Drive Every Year?

Each year our parish hosts a ‘Stewardship

Drive’ in order to plan for the upcoming

year’s needs because things change year to

year. While principles of the historic church

haven’t changed… the world around it has.

From 2012-2014, representatives from Greek

Orthodox churches (including St. Katherine)

met with the Metropolitan Gerasimos of

San Francisco to evaluate the church’s

current status, purpose, goals, and direction.

As a result, a ‘Strategic Plan’

(sfstrategicplan.net) was developed to guide

churches based on CORE VALUES we share

as a faith community.

Christ centered

Active participation in sacramental life

Education

Integrity, transparency and accountability

Stewardship

Outreach and evangelism

Inclusiveness and engagement

Courage

Communication using all media

Minister to all generations

Strengthen families and relationship

Financial Responsibility

Your family values? Likely, not far off.

The physical building is St. Katherine Greek

Orthodox Church. ‘The Church’ itself is you

and I together in His name. (MAT 18:20)

If you haven’t done so yet this year, please

fill out a stewardship card so that, together,

we can pursue, preserve and perpetuate the

CORE VALUES we share as a faith

community and family in Christ.

Financial responsibility is A core value, not

THE core value. Let us not focus on it or

ignore it. Fiscal planning is a necessity in

the world we live in; Faith, Hope, and Love

drive and motivate our actions. (1Cor:13)

Each of us, called to serve in our own

capacity, have been entrusted with talents to

be used wisely according to His purpose.

May the Lord Bless you through the work of

his servants this year and for years to come.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

Your fellow servants in Christ,

The Stewardship Committee
