We are a Stewardship Parish commi�ed to giving our �me, talent , and resources for others!
Some folks have been asking where my weekly ar&-
cle went….It hasn’t disappeared, but just took a bit of
a vaca&on. Truth is our bulle&n company only allows
us a large bulle&n (12 pages including adver&sing)
about once a month and we’ve been exceeding that
allowance too many &mes. So, we’ve need to cut
back for awhile on the larger bulle&ns. The parish
does not pay for the publica&on of the bulle&n. That
is why we have adver&sers. I do encourage you to
look at those ads and consider u&lizing those busi-
nesses.
Thanks to all who helped make our Holy Week and
Easter Sunday celebra&ons so beau&ful! It does take
a lot of effort to put together all the necessary minis-
tries.
You may no&ce that the Bap&smal Font has been
moved to the sanctuary of the Church from the side
aisle. The Season of Easter emphasizes the Sacra-
ments of Ini&a&on: Bap&sm, Confirma&on, and Eu-
charist. We moved the font to the sanctuary to em-
phasize the importance of that Sacrament. Behind
the font, you will see a table with the three jars of
Holy Oils: the Oil of Catechumens, the Oil of the Sick,
and the Sacred Chrism.
We have been keeping the oils in a cabinet in the
sacristy for years. We need to change that. The oils
should be in a cabinet in the church called an Ambry.
As you visit other churches, you will see many of
them have the oils in a glassed cabinet Ambry. You
might also no&ce that many churches have the Bap-
&smal Font at the entrance of the Church itself. Why?
Well, we enter the Church through the Sacrament of
Bap&sm and so this is a visual way of emphasizing
that one common sacrament we all share.
The beginning of the Rite of Bap&sm has the dea-
con of priest greet the family at the door of the
church. At a funeral, we sprinkle holy water on the
casket at the beginning of the Mass to remind every-
one of the waters of bap&sm.
So, we’re in the process to see if we can locate a
permanent and deliberate home for our Bap&smal
Font where it can remain, where the oils can be per-
manently kept near it, and where the emphasis on
the Sacrament of Bap&sm is visually presented.
We can do this and are looking to relocate some
pews at the main entrance of the church in order to
open up a space large enough for the font and for
good and easy access around it. This will involve mov-
ing pews, redoing some &ling and carpe&ng, and pur-
chasing a worthy ambry for our oils. As &me goes on,
I’ll write and talk more about this. Let us pray to our
Risen Lord who gives us eternal life and grace
through our sacraments to bless our parish abundant-
ly in this Easter Season.
