Heavenly Father, on this day, a terrible act of brutality

was visited upon our people. We ask for Your grace upon the souls

of those who died this day, and the loved ones they left behind.

Bless those who, today, work unceasingly to protect us all

from further acts of violence. Change the hearts and minds of those

who would murder the innocent in Your Name.

Help us to remember Christ's victory over all death.

Lead us all to You, Lord, in a true unity, begotten not of blood

that was shed in anger, but shed by Your Son, out of love for us.

Amen.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 PAGE 3

O

from the Desk of the Senior Parochial Vicar ...

Welcome to our new bishop!

The Diocese informed us priests that our new bishop would

be installed as the eleventh bishop of Cleveland on the

afternoon of Tuesday, September 5, 2017. Beside the

installation Mass, there also would be a Solemn Vespers

presideded over by Bishop Daniel Thomas the day before on

Labor Day evening at 5:30 p.m. We were informed that

admittance would be by ticket only and that we would have

to ask the diocese for tickets to one or both of the events.

Usually a priest can just show up for an event at the cathedral

and be a concelebrant seated in that transept area where the

confessionls are located, “stage right” of the cathedral

sanctuary or be a concelebrant seated in that sanctuary itself.

I knew that I would not be able to attend the Tuesday

Installation Mass because I was scheduled for the Tuesday

12:10 p.m. Mass here and would never be able to be

downtown on time. So I requested only a ticket for the

Monday Vespers.

Piece of cake, I thought. It will be on our national holiday

and hardly anyone would be downtown. The Diocese sent

me my ticket for vespers along with a map for parking lots. I

left early because I thought it might be cool to stroll around

downtown; and because of my hearing handicap I would

grab a seat up close to the front to better be able to hear the

sermon which would be given by Bishop Perez.

My first mistake was to not take into account the big

Cleveland National Air Show along the lakefront. All of the

added people downtown for the Vespers or the Air Show

brought their cars. Where to park? I had thought parking

would be easy downtown on a holiday. Before I left our

parish I had circled a parking lot on that map from the

Diocese not far from the “Cleveland Mariott Downtown at

Key Center”. My first challenge was that that entrance was

blocked off by construction or whatever was behind the

fence by the hotel. Things went bad quickly. I started

navigating around and found the other lots were full. After

about ten minutes of aimless circling, I decided that I would

work my way out of downtown to the freeway and go home.

I was having my conversation with the Lord telling Him that

I could take a hint and I would go home. For the third time I

found myself going past Old Stone Church on my right and

ahead on my left was a closed parking lot that had maybe

twenty cars in it. AND BEHOLD, I saw out of the corner

of my eye a human arm go up as if someone in bed was

yawning inside the little toll booth by the parking lot’s

entrance. The huge street I was approaching was

miraculously clear of all northbound traffic, so I made an

illegal hard left from Rockwell right into the corner entrance.

As I pulled in a startled fellow in the little booth

suddenly sat up from what may have been a reclining chair.

I now realized that his parking lot was open and I had a

parking spot not too far from the cathedral.

When I pray Vespers by myself in our parish rectory, it

usually takes me ten minutes or so. The Solemn Vespers

went over an hour. There were several choirs. One sang in

the Tagalog Language of the Philippines. I think there was a

hymn in Spanish, and of course much of the singing was in

English. Most memorable for me was the Marian hymn that

we call the Magnificat which was sung in English but to a

Black Gospel Music melody or style.

Bishop Perez had a “folksie” homily which seemed to me to

be quite charming, Unfortunately I could only make out

about half of what he said. I was seated in the ninth row

along the south wall of the cathedrel. And YES, I was

wearing my hearing aids which also greatly magnified the

sound of the air-conditioning outlet right above me. I have

always wondered how clearly the crowd (“The people who

were fed numbered four thousand, apart from women and

children.” Matt. 15:38) who were fed from only seven loaves

and a few fish were able to hear Jesus on the mountainside.

Much of Monday’s experience was just being there and

feeling the event.

I walked from the cathedral to the reception at Key Center

with a priest from Philadelphia whom I met exiting the

cathedral. We went up the escalator and then he drifted off

to clergy he knew as I first checked out the food. There

were “docks” or stations all over that huge room where an

entree of turkey with multiple possible toppings was in one

place, Beef Wellington at another, indivedual salads, pastry

desserts, and finally coffee, hot water and softdrinks.

Waiters and waitresses were circulating with trays of round

balls and puffy things. I would never want such a kind

person offering me food to feel rejected, so I always smiled,

took something, and thanked that person.

I ended up at a round table with five Cleveland priests and

an interesting laywoman with big glasses who was funny

with her observations. I probably overate, but it was a

happy occasion. As Bishop Perez finally entered there was

a round of applause. Bishop Perez stood in a side hallway-

like-section of the room with a long line of people lined up

to talk to him. Hhmm! Stand in line for a maybe thirty

seconds conversation with the bishop, or get more food?

More food,or the bishop? Alas, food won out. I am certain

that I will get to talk to Bishop Perez in the future.

I used to kid Bishop Lennon that he should respect his

elders because I was two years his senior in both age and

years ordained a priest. To our newly arrived Bishop Perez

(contined from “Senior Parochial Vicar’s Desk on page 3)

I am sixteen years older and ordained a priest eighteen

years before he was. Alas, I must keep in mind that I may

be a SENIOR Parochial Vicar, but he is, simply, THE

BISHOP. I look forward to personally meeting him as he

settles into he being our Shepherd.

Just as I feel Our Lord seems to have wanted me to be at

the Vespers, I am even more certain that He has sent

Bishop Nelson Jesus Perez to be a “Successor of the

Apostles” to the Church at Cleveland. As he builds up the

City of God, may he build up The Diocese of Cleveland to

meet today’s challenges.
