Diocesan Youth Day an Opportunity to be 'Anchored' in the Faith
September 7, 2019, 10 AM – 9 PM
Our Lady of Fatima Church, Cumberland
Diocesan Youth Day is a special way to implement the recommendations of the Extraordinary Synod [Pope’s Exhortation
“Christus Vivit” – Christ is Alive!] and focus on relationship building between youth and Christ. It is an incredible opportunity for the whole
diocese to celebrate the joy of the faith.
Attendees will discover and experience Jesus’ love, and learn that they are never alone in the storms of life. The message is that they can weather
the storms when they stay connected to each other and when they stay anchored in our faith.
Inspired speakers, music, new friends with a shared faith, adoration
by candlelight: what a day for the youth of the Ocean State. Last year kicked off the first-ever Diocesan Youth Day, a high-energy, prayer-filled event attended by hundreds of
young people who left inspired with the love of Christ.
For more information about the event or to volunteer, email [email protected] or visit catholicyouthri.com.
Happy Father’s Day to those living, those in heaven
and new fathers-to-be.

Today’s feast, extending a dimension of Easter joy into Ordinary Time, reminds us that every aspect of worship centers on the mystery of God in three
persons. At baptism, we are initiated into Christ and the Spirit. The Creed we recite at Mass every Sunday
has its roots in the ancient celebration of baptism, when a new believer was questioned at the edge of the waters of the font with three questions: Do you
believe in God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit? Three questions, three affirmations, three immersions into the saving waters. Because every liturgy abounds with references to the Trinity, not only in words but
in blessings by the sign of the cross, this feast was not easily accepted into the calendar. Pope Alexander in the eleventh century remarked that the liturgy is so
laden with praise of the Trinity that there was no need for a special feast. Two hundred years later, while in
exile in France, Pope John XXII proclaimed the feast, but it was not until 1911 that Pope St. Pius X gave it
status as a solemnity. A favorite image in art for today is the Icon of the Trinity, showing three glorious winged men seated at a table laden with bread and a cup of wine. It recalls Abraham’s hospitality to angels and gives expression to the inner life of God, a life lived in relationship, a
life poured out in abundance whenever Christians gather at the table of the Eucharist to give praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Spirit.
FATHERHOOD My father didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
