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 posses the
fruits of redemption.”

Announcements
We will take up a second collection this weekend
for the victims of the recent earthquake in Mexico.
There are many changes to the Mass schedule
this week. See Page 2 for details.
First Friday and First Saturday are this week.
Our customary First Friday Adoration will begin
with Exposition after the 5:45 p.m. Mass and end
with Benediction at 8:15 a.m. Saturday. A signup
sheet is on the lectern near the back pews.
Saturday, Oct. 7, is the Feast of Our Lady of the
Most Holy Rosary. We have multiple Masses and
prayer services planned for our patronal feast day,
including two public recitations of the rosary. Please
see Pages 2 and 5 for more information.
The Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary encour-
ages all parishioners to recite the rosary at every
Mass here throughout October — the month of the
rosary and in commemoration of the 100th anniver-
sary of the Marian apparitions in Fatima. A signup
sheet will be in the vestibule for anyone interested
in leading the rosary before Masses (or after
Masses if there is a special liturgy).
Immediately after every Mass this weekend, the
story and history of the Flame of Love of the Im-
maculate Heart of Mary will be presented in our
first-floor classroom. The one-hour presentation will
include a 25-minute video, messages from Our Lord
and Our Lady, and an explanation of their requests.
Free materials and books will be available.
The annual Central Indiana Life Chain will be
today (Sunday) along Meridian Street from 2:30 p.m.
to 3:30 p.m. This is a peaceful, prayerful public wit-
ness in support of the sanctity of human life. Holy Ro-
sary parishioners have been assigned to the west side
of Meridian Street between 22nd and 24th streets.
Please pray for our sick and shut-in friends: Deb-
bie Barry, Archbishop-emeritus Daniel Buechlein,
John Caito, Verna Carr, Katie Cecil, Son Hui Chris-
tensen, Sharon Conrad, Carol Craig, Paquita Fallas,
Jody Gassert, Sam Gorsage, Robert Hanaway, Jose-
phine Lombardo, Brad Love, Sidia Mora, Tony
Navarra, Nathan Oliver, Phil Vierneisel, Sister Rita

Pilgrims offer to take your prayer requests to Lourdes and Fatima
A group of our parishioners will be going on pilgrimage this month to Lourdes and Fatima. They have
graciously offered to take along prayer requests from fellow parishioners; these requests will be placed at
the altar at each shrine during Mass. To make a request, go to the statue of Our Lady of Fatima in our
church, place your written request in the provided envelope and leave it in the accompanying basket. Re-
quests must be made by 8 a.m. Friday, Oct. 6. These envelopes will never be opened, so please don’t place
anything else in them.

Views and opinions expressed in the linked articles are strictly those of their authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the pastor and staff of Holy Rosary Church, Archbishop Charles C. Thompson or anyone else connected to the Archdiocese
of Indianapolis.
Dear parishioners,
T his past Monday, Father Reese notified me that
he was experiencing some personal and family
issues which would require a greater amount of his
attention. He let me know that he had asked for a
leave of absence from Archbishop Thompson, and
that he hoped it would be granted. I gave him the
week off and, at the end of the week, the Archbishop
informed me that he intended to grant Father Reese
the leave of absence. As of the writing of this note,
the length of the leave had not been fully determined,
but it will be at least a few months. I expect it will
extend past Christmas and into the new year.
I ask that we all respect Father Reese’s and his fam-
ily’s privacy to allow them to deal with these per-
sonal issues. I have made it clear to him that the par-
ish and I will continue to pray for him and for his
family during this time. Unless Father Reese happens
to reach out to you, please do not interrupt this time
allotted to him.
Please do not ask me the details of Father Reese’s
situation. As his pastor, I am privy to many of the
details of his and his family’s personal life, as I am
of most of my parishioners. I am not free to discuss
these matters, just as I am not free to discuss your
personal matters. If you do ask, I will politely but
firmly tell you to “mind your own busi-
ness.” Additionally, do not make Father Reese and
his family the subject of speculation or gossip. This
is a sin. Please do remember to pray for him and his
family.
I am very grateful for Father Reese’s service to our
parish. He will be greatly missed during this
leave. Quite obviously, without a second priest active
at Holy Rosary, our Mass schedule and other events
will be affected. Please be patient with me and the
staff as we work to adjust to the current situation and
attempt to accommodate, as much as possible, all of
the many activities at our parish. Thank you in ad-
vance for all your prayerful support. God bless!

Masses, rosaries highlight parish’s
patronal feast day As befits a parish on its patronal
feast day, Holy Rosary Church
will be a busy place this coming
Saturday, Oct. 7.
Activity actually begins the pre-
vious evening with our customary
First Friday Adoration. Exposi-
tion will follow the 5:45 p.m.
Mass, and the Blessed Sacrament
will be exposed on the altar
throughout the night until Bene-
diction at 8:15 a.m. Saturday.
We will have two Sung Masses
of Our Lady of the Most Holy
Rosary on Saturday morning. The
first, in the Extraordinary Form,
will begin at 8:30 a.m. The sec-
ond, in the Ordinary Form, will
begin at 10 a.m.
Then, shortly after the second
Mass concludes (no sooner than
10:45 a.m.), the Blessed Sacra-
ment will again be exposed while
the faithful pray 15 decades of
the rosary. This will mark the end
of a 54-day “Novena for Our
Nation.”
We, in conjunction with the
Santo Rosario Council of the
Knights of Columbus, encourage
all to stay for — or come to — a
Biking for Babies Rosary and
Prayer Rally in our church. A
group of bicyclists from the K of
C Mater Dei Council will be
stopping here at about 12:30 p.m.
This will mark the midway
point of the bicyclists’ three-day,
160-mile trek from Terre Haute
to Richmond. Their goal is to
raise awareness for the sanctity of
Life and to raise funds for the
Gabriel Project’s work with ex-
pectant mothers-in-need.
Finally, though technically not
part of the feast day, we will have
our usual 4:30 p.m. Mass.
