Chancery News: We continue to pray for all who are impacted by the natural disasters this year, both the tornadoes that hit Cole, Hickory, Miller and Randolph counties this past week, and the flooding of major rivers in our Diocese. Counties impacted by that flooding include Boone, Callaway, Camden, Chariton, Clark, Cole, Gasconade, Howard, Lewis, Linn, Maries, Marion, Miller, Moniteau, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Osage, Pettis, Phelps, Perry, Pike, Ralls, Randolph and Saline.

Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri, an agency of our Diocese, is working with other agencies to ensure a coordinated and integrated network of support is provided to those affected. If you or your parish group would like to volunteer, please contact United Way at 2-1-1. It is serving as the central clearinghouse to match immediate needs with resources.

As Catholic Charities did in response to the 2017 floods, it is putting in place a process to assist those who have a very fragile safety net: people without insurance, who are not homeowners, on limited income, with disabilities, or whose livelihood has been impacted by the natural disaster. If you are interested in assisting in this effort, please consider donating to Catholic Charities’ Disaster Relief Fund. Every dollar will be used for direct assistance of people affected by the flooding and tornadoes. You can donate online at diojeffcity.org or at cccnmo.org.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

About the Eucharist:

Transubstantiation (Changing of substance )

At Holy Mass – the bread and wine are changed in substance/ changed in essence. Although the “particulars” of the bread and wine remain, i.e., the texture of bread, the feel of bread, the smell of wine, the color of wine, the substance / the essence is changed. The “breadness” and “wineness” are changed into the “Godness” of Jesus. Take this all of you and eat of it, for this is My Body which has been given up for you. Take this all of you and drink, this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant.

State of grace – One’s soul is in the state of grace when one is free of grave sin / mortal sin.

We are to only receive the Eucharist in the state of grace. Receiving the Eucharist in the state of grave sin is sacrilege. Sacrilege is the profaning of the holy. Sacrilege is itself a grave sin.

The only remedy for grave sin is sacramental Confession. This is when we confess our sins with heartfelt contrition, receive ab-solution and do our penance.

We could note many examples of grave sin which would preclude us from receiving the Eucharist, but the one that seemingly is not known about (so I am told) is the missing of Sunday Mass. Not heeding the third Commandment, keeping holy the Sabbath by not attending Mass is a grave sin. If one willingly chooses something other than Mass on Sunday, one commits grave sin. (Illness, weather, caring for the sick, unforeseen circumstances, are certainly legitimate reasons to be excused for attending Sun-day Mass.)

St. Paul in Corinthians says, “For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself.” We cannot honor Jesus when we are not in the state of grace.

The closest our souls will get to heaven on earth is to receive the Eucharistic Jesus in the state of grace.

May we always be vigilant as priests, as parents and grandparents, in authentically modeling our Catholic faith for our children.

The Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith. May the Eucharist be the “source and summit” of our lives.

Note: Immaculate Conception in Jefferson City has a “catch all Mass” at 5 p.m. on Sundays. _____________________________

What is an offering for a Mass intention? June 23, 2019 | Making Connections Bishop W. Shawn McKnight

For some, their first encounter with a Mass offering is at a funeral service. There’s those piles of envelopes, ob-viously meant for money, with the option of writing down the name of the deceased for a Mass to be offered for the repose of their soul. Or you may read in the parish bulletin about the Mass being offered for someone who is living in need of healing or celebrating a birthday, wedding, or anniversary.

Mass intentions are deeply rooted in Catholic theology. There’s also a temporal aspect to them, in that people offer a small, symbolic amount of money with a request for prayers by the priest for the living or deceased. How did the theological and the practical became connected?

As Father Dan Merz, chairman of the Diocesan Liturgical Commission, wrote:

“When the bread and wine are brought forward, the priest takes them, blesses them (in the Eucharistic Prayer) and gives them back to us (in Holy Communion).

“Every member of the baptized is supposed to associate some intention or petition with that offering of bread and wine. So, for example, as the bread and wine are carried up, I mentally lay onto those gifts my intention for my family, or for a sick friend, or for grace to overcome a particular vice, etc.

“The priest takes my ‘offering,’ blesses it, too, in the Eucharistic Prayer, and gives it back to me (in a trans-substantiated way) in Holy Communion.

“My ‘offering’ just got associated with Jesus, Who ‘lives forever to make intercession’ for me.

“At Mass, every baptized Catholic should be including an intention or intentions on the gifts. God can only bless what we give to Him. He will never force His blessing upon us without our consent.”

Catholic Missourian, February 2014

At the same time, the faithful understand it takes resources to provide the material aspects of the Eucharist: not just the bread and wine, but also the vestments and the ritual books, the maintenance of the building, the care and feeding of the celebrant. People provide money to the priest in support of him and the church. They would ask for his prayers, too. When offering money with a Mass intention, Catholics are joining in providing for the temporal needs of the parish in a small way, while asking the priest to join them in offering their spiritual needs or requests to God.

This is not “buying a Mass.” The Church condemns that notion in the strongest possible language, and it is why we no longer refer to it as a “stipend” or “fee.” Instead, we are returning to God the gifts he has given us, to en-sure dignified worship worthy of such a generous God.

Church, or canon, law has some practical applications regarding the use of money offered in Mass intentions. Canon 946 states, “The Christian faithful who make an offering so that the Mass may be applied for their inten-tion contribute to the good of the Church and by their offering take part in the concern of the Church for the support of its ministers and works.”

Canon law also states: The only obligation on the part of the priest is that the Mass intention be satisfied. This information – the

date when the Mass intention was satisfied – should be recorded and kept on file for future reference. There is no obligation to announce the intention publicly before or during the Mass at any time, nor any ob-

ligation to allow the offerer to bring up the offerings at the Presentation of the Gifts or to announce the Pray-ers of the Faithful, etc. Remember, all the faithful are encouraged to bring their own intentions to the Eu-charistic celebration.

The Mass intention could, however, be fruitfully mentioned within the bulletin or General Intercessions, as a way of inviting the whole community to pray for the intention without excluding their own particular inten-tions.

Even if the monetary offering has been lost, the priest is obliged to celebrate the Mass for the intention once he has committed to do it.

Only one Mass offering may be kept by the priest per day, even if he celebrates Mass more than once on that day. While the priest may receive an offering for each Mass on a given day, he may retain only one Mass offering per day and must transfer the other to the chancery for charitable uses. The only exception to this rule is on Christmas day, when the priest can keep up to three Mass offerings (Canon 951).

If a parish receives more Mass offerings than can be satisfied in the course of one year, then “it is permitted for them to be celebrated elsewhere unless the donors have expressly indicated a contrary intention” (Canon 954). Mass intentions and offerings that cannot be satisfied within the year at the parish are to be forwarded to the Vicar General for distribution to other priests so that they may be offered in a timely manner. These transferred Mass intentions are needed for priests without parish assignments, for other parishes that do not have enough Mass intentions, and for the missions.

Recently, the bishops of the Province of Missouri raised the standard Mass offering amount from $5 to $10 per Mass, effective July 1, 2019. Raising the standard amount simply puts the Diocese of Jefferson City in line with other dioceses within Missouri as well as the provinces that surround our state. Please note that a priest is al-ways free, however, to accept an offering for less than or more than the standard amount. What is desired is that the donor share sacrificially in the offering of Mass. Donors are encouraged to reflect on the generosity of God in determining the amount they wish to offer to the priest along with their spiritual intentions, but the standard amount is a good guideline.

* Parish Town Hall Meeting *

Church Renovation Phase II Updates June 13, 2019

A town hall meeting was held on Thursday, June 13 for discussion of the interior/Phase II portion of the church renovation. Topics shared/discussed included renditions of interior paint schemes, scaffolding, new pews, flooring, bathrooms, and other various items. There was also a report-out of the current budget/financial status. One of the key focuses of the meeting was the unveiling of the proposed church painting scheme. Father Viviano’s explanation of the significance of the scene above the altar is given on the following page of this bulletin.

“Restoring Our Roots” Capital Campaign

Cash received toward renovation: $1,547,218 Amount still owed toward pledges: $ 484,066 Sale of Convent: $ 162,000

Campaign Total To-Date: $2,193,284

The total church restoration/renovation costs are budgeted at $2.2 million, perhaps a little more, as we shore up interior pro-jects. Please note we still have a lot of money to raise toward pledges. Each dollar will be needed to complete the renovation. A letter will soon be sent out to parishioners showing pledged amounts received to-date and balance owed toward pledges.

Church Renovation Update: 6/20/2019

Missouri Builders continues work on the exterior clerestory walls. Once the clerestory is complete the sanctuary/lower roofs will be replaced. Lower gutter and fascia replacement is currently underway. This should all be completed by August.

Work on the new restrooms continues. Plumbing and electrical rough-in is underway. A reminder this work is being com-pleted by our very generous and talented parishioners.

Repairs to the lower windows are nearly complete. Most windows have had storm windows removed and a clear exterior pro-tective layer of glass glazing installed. The obscure glass windows in the stairwells have been replaced with clear glass. Painting of the exterior window wood trim is underway. Repairs to the clerestory stained glass windows (upper windows) will not be conducted until the scaffolding has been installed in the church later this fall. Clerestory windows will be re-moved in October, sent to Wisconsin for repairs, and reinstalled around January 2020.

Conrad Schmitt provided an interior painting rendition to aid in interior color and scheme selection. This rendition has been shared with parishioners and can be viewed in the front of church. We must finalize plans soon to stay on schedule. The con-tractor plans to begin around October 1 and hopes to finish around February 2020.

Scaffolding bids are still being reviewed. There will be no scaffolding installed until after October 1. No pews will need to be removed during the scaffolding phase. The scaffolding will sit above the pews and allow for Mass to continue.

New Holland Church Furniture, located in Pennsylvania, has been selected to build and install new pews. We are waiting for the interior paint scheme before finalizing pew stain color and wood choice. This will also impact the replacement of interior wood doors, which will match the wood and stain of the pews. For examples of their work see their website: http://www.newhollandwood.com/.

Mid America Metals has been selected to repair and refinish the terrazzo floor. This work will take place after the old pews have been removed. https://www.midamericametals.com/ The carpet in the sanctuary will be replaced with solid-surface flooring, most likely porcelain tile. We are still researching options for the flooring on the steps leading to the balcony.

The parish continues to review bids to help budget the remaining portions of the renovation. These include costs for scaffold-ing, flooring, interior lighting, doors, enhancements to the balcony and steps, a new confessional, the clock/bell system, and other miscellaneous items. These updated budget figures will be shared in a future bulletin.

There will be various projects/tasks in the renovation where parishioner help will be needed. Some examples include: pew removal, sanctuary carpet removal, stairway carpet removal, confessional demolition, clean-up each week prior to Mass, etc. If parishioners are willing to assist with these tasks it will help keep renovation costs down. Please consider helping with these tasks when the time comes.

Church Renovation Rendering…Liturgical Explanation behind Mural Concept The three imperative features of any Catholic church are the Altar of Sacrifice, the Tabernacle, and the Crucifix.

The Crucifix is the cross with the corpus (body of Christ). The Catholic Church differs from our Protestant brethren, in that they say that “they have taken Christ down from the cross” – as you will not see the crucifix in their churches. The Catholic Church reveres, honors and venerates the crucifix, as it is the symbol of God’s great love for us. The Father sent the Son, and the Son accepted to die upon the cross to redeem us and to open the gates of heaven. The Crucifix is a powerful, undeniable sign, which tells the world that we are Catholic.

The Altar is where the “unbloody sacrifice” takes place. Every Mass is the “re-presentation of Calvary.” The Mass is the sacred event in which Christ mystically gives Himself to us, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.

The Tabernacle is the sacred enclosure for the Blessed Sacrament, where the Body of Christ is in repose; at rest.

Currently, our Crucifix shares a section of a side wall with the choir board. I have often wondered if Padre Pio, who bore the wounds of Jesus and who suffered for fifty years until his death, would think this small crucifix is sufficient.

What you will see in our church rendering is the scene of Calvary, the bloody sacrifice, which is directly over the Altar. This is the most profound Catholic setting that I have ever seen in a church. The sacred Altar, where God mystically meets man at every Mass, is there to receive symbolically the blood of the crucified Jesus, which falls from above.

Note: The computerized rendering on display, places St. Joseph on a side pedestal; in reality, he will remain in the center of the high altar. The story and sequence of the panels on the clerestory wall will remain the same, but will be repainted on canvas. Lastly, the stain of the pews will not be the same as in the rendition. The pew stain will be coordinated to best fit the church’s new color scheme.
