The Italian Parish of Indianapolis
B envenuto! Welcome to Holy Rosary
Church! Whether you are a lifelong
parishioner, a first-time visitor to our
parish, or someone in between, we
are grateful you have joined us today.
Founded in 1909 as the Italian Parish of
Indianapolis, we continue to serve as
the parish home of people of Italian
heritage and also embrace all Catholics
in union with Rome, including those
devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass
(Extraordinary Form) and the Anglican
Usage of the Roman Rite.
In the words of our founding pastor,
Msgr. Marino Priori:
“The church is the temple of the
Lord, the gate of heaven. Come after a
week of earthly cares, after so much
toil, after so many sorrows, after so
much pain. Rest your limbs. Regenerate
your spirit at the sources of grace.
Raise your mind to God; thank Him for
the benefits received through His
creation and in daily life; ask for
strength so you can win all of life’s
struggles, and be able to possess the
fruits of redemption.”

A s the weather warms, it is important to remind
ourselves about proper dress for Mass. Too of-
ten our modern society trivializes the “little things”
as not being important. This is contrary to the
Christ’s message in the Gospel where He tells us that
those who can be trusted in little things can be
trusted in large things, and those who cannot be
trusted in little things cannot be trusted in large
things (Luke 16:10).
The way in which we dress and, in particular, the
way in which we dress for Mass is one of those
things that people often take as “little.” However, in
reality our dress is far from a little matter. It is a way
of showing respect — or lack of respect — for the
people around us and for ourselves.
On Sundays, wearing proper attire to Mass is a sign
of respect for God, the Church and all the members
of the Church. Dressing more formally and always
with attention to modesty* is an essential way in
which we remind ourselves, and others, of the impor-
tance of Sunday Mass. It is a small but significant
way in which we witness to the world the importance
and dignity of the Person we are going to see, Christ.
Here are my suggested minimum general guidelines:
Men should wear long pants without rips, tears or
holes, and a collared shirt or its equivalent.
Women should wear the female equivalent of the
above, always erring on the conservative
side. Obviously, it can be either a dress or skirt/pants
with an appropriate top.
Neither men nor women (including boys and
girls over the age of 7) should wear shorts. Thank you in advance for your respect and consid-
eration and for saving me and other priests from the
awkward experience of having to correct someone
dressed inappropriately.
Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor
The importance of proper attire at Mass
* On modesty the Catechism of the Catholic Church says:
“Purity requires modesty, an integral part of temperance. Modesty protects the intimate center of the person. It means
refusing to unveil what should remain hidden. It is ordered to chastity to whose sensitivity it bears witness. It guides how
one looks at others and behaves toward them in conformity with the dignity of persons and their solidarity. Modesty pro-
tects the mystery of persons and their love. It encourages patience and moderation in loving relationships; … Modesty is
decency. It inspires one’s choice of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve where there is evident risk of unhealthy curios-
ity. It is discreet. There is a modesty of the feelings as well as of the body. It protests, for example, against the voyeuris-
tic explorations of the human body in certain advertisements, or against the solicitations of certain media that go too far
in the exhibition of intimate things. Modesty inspires a way of life which makes it possible to resist the allurements of
fashion and the pressures of prevailing ideologies” (CCC 2521-2523).
Practically, in the United States that means the four B’s (Backs, Bottoms, Bellies and Breasts) should always be
covered.

Two camps: one for high school boys and a new one-day program for middle school boys
Bishop Bruté Days Camp will be June 25-27 at Marian University, Indianapolis. It is a retreat for young
men of high-school age open to the possibility of a priestly vocation. They will spend three days with the
students of Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary, including a day at the Old Cathedral in Vincennes, Ind.,
on the June 26 anniversary of Bishop Simon Bruté’s death.
Bishop Bruté Days Jr. on June 27 is for boys in seventh and eighth grade. It is a one-day introduction to
the seminary and focuses on general discernment.
Holy Rosary will reimburse the enrollment costs of any registered parishioner who attends the camp.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS
Feast Day: May 24
M ost Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how
sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your
perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remem-
ber their children, how can you, the most loving of all
mothers forget me? Grant then to me, I implore you,
your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sor-
row, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your
unceasing help for all who are now suffering. Help the
weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your
intercessions many vocations to the religious life. Ob-
tain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having in-
voked you on earth we may love and eternally thank
you in heaven.

A young Church, young not
in terms of age but in the
grace of the Spirit, is inviting us
to testify to the love of Christ, a
love that inspires and directs us
to strive for the common good.
This love enables us to serve the
poor and to become protagonists
of the revolution of charity and
service, capable of resisting the
pathologies of consumerism and
superficial individualism. Brim-
ming with the love of Christ, be
living witnesses of the Gospel in
every corner of this city (cf. Chris-
tus Vivit, 174-175). Do not be afraid
of becoming the saints that this
land greatly needs. Do not be
afraid of holiness. It will take
away none of your energy, it will
take away none of your vitality
or joy. On the contrary, you and
all the sons and daughters of this
land will become what the Father
had in mind when He created
you (cf. Gaudete et Exsultate, 32). — Pope Francis
