JOB OPPORTUNITY The Central Essex County Catholic Family of Parishes (St. Clement, McGregor, Holy Name of Jesus, Essex, St. John the Evangelist, Woodslee, and St. Mary’s, Maidstone,) is seeking a housekeeper/cook for the rectory at the Holy Name of Jesus, Essex location.

Seejo John, 146 Talbot Street South, Essex, N8M 1B4 or email [email protected]
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION By the dawn of the fourteenth century, the sacrament of confirmation was ripe for a rescue, since vast numbers of the faithful never received it, and when it was celebrated, it was done so in isolation from baptism and Eucharist. A bishop named William Durandus set out to reclaim this liturgy, but he had a creative touch and added some things into the mix that had never been thought of before. One was a slap. Oddly, he replaced the kiss of peace at the end of confirmation with a slap on the cheek that endured to modern times. This “wake-up call” was related in his imagination to a custom in the military, wherein ceremonies of knighthood and investiture involved a symbolic wound as a sign of willingness to suffer. Within every congregation today there are people who have memories of fretting through their confirmation liturgies, anxious to know how enthusiastic a slap the bishop would bestow. Durandus loved symbolism and had a reason for every ritual and practice, but his creative spin on the celebration shows how sadly adrift confirmation was from its anchorage in baptism, how off-course from its home port of the eucharistic community. —James Field, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
