It is the Feast of the Dedication of St John Lateran Basilica. The Basilica is the “Mother Church” of all the Churches of the world and the Cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. The Church itself goes back to the time of Emporer Constantine in the 4th Century. It’s name honors John the Baptist and John the Evangelist and also a wealthy Christian family. Pilgrims who visit Rome are encouraged to visit this Basilica as well as the Churches dedicated to the Blessed Mother, St Paul and obviously the most familiar St Peter’s Basilica. The Church encourages us to celebrate the Dedication of this Sacred Basilica also as a way of honoring all the consecrated Churches of the world, including our own. The scriptures of the feast highlight the importance of the Temple in biblical times and also that Jesus identified himself as the temple, shifting the focus of our worship from a place to a person. St Paul takes another step in saying that we, the believers, are God’s Building. This week, a year from now, will be our Parish Pilgrimage to Italy. Six years ago, on our first trip to Rome, our hotel was walking distance from the Lateran Basilica. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and hadn’t gone to Mass. Some of our group needed a nap from the overnight flight. Some others of us walked to the Lateran Basilica for Mass. Mass was in Italian in the ancient Church, but it was nice to greet so many familiar faces at the sign of peace and join them in line for Holy Communion. It was a good start to a memorable trip. Over fifty folks are already signed up for next year’s trip. Father Mark Hunt is only available to have one Mass for us on the weekend. I’m happy to be able to get two other priests for one Sunday each month. Father John Donia, the School Minister at Archbishop Ryan High School will be with us this Sunday for the 10 and also monthly throughout the year. Father Bernard Farley, Chaplain at St John Neumann Nursing Home has also agreed to be with us for the 8 once a month. I’m happy to be able to get good priests to be with us and give you a break from me once in awhile. Two good retired priests of the Archdiocese recently died-- Father John Fitzgerald and Msgr. James Howard. Father Fitzgerald recently lived at St Anselm and among other things was a founder of a Bereavement group in the Archdiocese called To Live Again. He was an inspiration for the beginnings of bereavement ministry in so many parishes including our own. Msgr Howard was Rector of the Cathedral for many years. He also taught at Cardinal Dougherty High School in my time and later was Principal there. I was scared to death of him as a teacher. In later years he was very good to me and often came here for confessions for our school children and also First Penance Services. Msgr Howard was also well known by many Philadelphia Police officers as their Chaplain. Archbishop Chaput had a meeting last week with all the Catholic School teachers of the Archdiocese---high school and grade school alike. He took the occasion to introduce a Pastoral letter of his addressed to the whole Archdiocese on Catholic Education and Faith Formation called “Equipping Saints”. Besides naming changes that have happened in the Archdiocese recently, the letter also addresses parishes and parents concerning their role in Catholic Education and Faith Formation. Take some time to read the letter. It is available at www.CatholicPhilly.com. We had a unique presentation on the Saints last Sunday for our CCD children and their families. The presentation by The Spoon Man was a good time for all as well as passing on a healthy religious message. I’m grateful for the continuing response to the Fall Appeal. It’s a most important collection for the life of the parish. You’ve also received a mailing concerning the Annual Seminary Appeal. We will have a seminarian with us next week promoting the Appeal. Hope many of you were at our Christmas Bazaar. Special thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary for coordinating the efforts of so many volunteers 150-ctk-page-2 THE SPOON MAN MASSES FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 9TH NO 6:30 AM MASSES SUNDAY 8:00 AM Cissy McMahon 10:00 AM Adele McCue 12:00 PM Holy Souls in Purgatory 8:00 AM Grace Schuhl (Anniv.) 8:00 AM Archangelo & Carmelo Tedeschi MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY 8:00 AM The Spoon Man played the spoons on Christopher’s head.
