C a t e c h e t i c a l S u n d a y The word "catechesis" means
"to echo." Literally, we are to echo the good news of Jesus Christ
to the world. This is not a suggestion; it is a command of our
Lord. Some people are called and set apart in our communities as
catechists, those formally trained and charged with passing on the
Gospel to children and adults, inside and outside of our
communities. On Catechet ica l Sunday , we acknowledge them and
remind ourselves of the need for formation and growth in all of us.
To be a catechist is a privileged calling, and today be sure to say
"thank you" to one in your community. However, it would be wrong on
this day to only look to those bearing the NAME of catechist for an
echoing of good news. ALL of us are called to echo and share the
Gospel message. Parents are the first and primary catechists in a
child's life. But we also are important catechists in the lives of
our coworkers, our spouses, our relatives, and our friends. Some
say catechesis begins in the home, and while that is true, it
carries with it a parent/child connotation. But where does
catechesis really begin? It begins in the HEART. This year on
Catechetical Sunday, may your heart be moved to motivate you to
share with others the good news of Jesus Christ.

Construction News
Last week, the scaffolding was erected on the East side (school
side) of the Church. Now we can start the process of replacing the
roof and repointing the bricks. This scaffolding
will help us gain access to the back steeple which will begin
very soon. The scaffolding on the rear of the Church will soon be
removed and that portion of the building complete. This should
happen by the end of the month. Look for a lot of the ornate copper
to be installed on the rear as the project stays on schedule.
Anticipate new entrances to the Social Hall once the scaffolding
comes down on the rear of the Church. For more information, please
call Wayne Gould at the Parish Office.

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS: Why Is This Sacrament Called
"Orders"? “The word order in Roman antiquity designated an
established civil body, especially a governing body. Ordinatio
means incorporation into an ordo. In the Church there are
established bodies which Tradition, not without a basis in Sacred
Scripture, has since ancient times called taxeis (Greek) or
ordines. And so the liturgy speaks of the ordo episcoporum, the
ordo presbyterorum, the ordo diaconorum. Other groups also receive
this name of ordo: catechumens, virgins, spouses, widows,....
Integration into one of these bodies in the Church was
accomplished by a rite called ordinatio, a religious and liturgical
act which was a consecration, a blessing or a sacrament. Today the
word "ordination" is reserved for the sacramental act which
integrates a man into the order of bishops, presbyters, or deacons,
and goes beyond a simple election, designation, delegation, or
institution by the community, for it confers a gift of the Holy
Spirit that permits the exercise of a "sacred power" (sacra
potestas) which can come only from Christ himself through his
Church. Ordination is also called consecratio, for it is a setting
apart and an investiture by Christ himself for his Church. the
laying on of hands by the bishop, with the consecratory prayer,
constitutes the visible sign of this ordination.” ~(1537, 1538)
