“A BULL, A JUBILEE, AND AN

ENCYCLICAL WALK INTO A BAR . . .” Not really. . . but an explanation of these terms

which have appeared in our Catholic news this year

might be helpful! In April, Pope Francis issued Mis-

ericordiae Vultus: Bull of Indiction on the Extraordi-

nary Jubilee of Mercy, announcing the year of mercy

which will begin in December. In June, he issued the

encyclical Laudato Si!: On Care for Our Common

Home. What is the difference between a bull and an

encyclical? What’s a jubilee?

In last week’s bulletin, we highlighted the

BULL. This week, we consider the ENCLYCLI-

CAL. Taken from the Greek work for “circular,” en-

cyclicals are documents addressed by the Pope to the

bishops of the Church or the general faithful (and

sometimes to all persons of good will) to convey

timely teachings on matters of faith and morals. En-

cyclicals are usually written in the Latin language,

and the title of the encyclical is usually taken from

its first few words (itsincipit), e.g., Laudato Si! be-

gins, “Laudato Si, mi Signore” (Praise be to you, my

Lord).

Ubi primum is an 1849 encyclical of Pope Pi-

us IX to the bishops of the Catholic Church asking

them for opinion on the definition of a dogma on

the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary It was

issued on February 2, 1849. The positive response

to Ubi primum led to the 1854 bull Ineffabilis Deus,

which defined the dogma of the Immaculate Concep-

tion.

Next week: What is a jubilee?

IT’S LEISURE CLUB TIME AGAIN Parishioners 50 and over are welcome to join this

great group for conversation, cards, and games. Join

us at 1:00 this Tuesday, in the Smith Building!

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s Food

For All: Be Multiplied campaign is an

effort inspired by Pope Francis’ call to

action to end hunger by 2025 and in

conjunction with his visit to the United

States in September. Food For All will

be the collective archdiocesan “Spiritual Bouquet” for

Pope Francis. The archdiocese is organizing advocacy to

protect Child Nutrition programs in the federal budget this

year before the Holy Father addresses Congress. Just as

Jesus fed the 5,000, we want our efforts to feed people who

are hungry, especially school children who depend on

breakfast and lunch to get them through the day. Parishes

and other organizations are asked to “multiply” the loaves

and fishes by pledging to collect 5000 letters to Congress

advocating for protection of the Child Nutrition Programs.

Archbishop Schnurr will bless the letters on September 14,

before they are hand-carried to local congressional offices,

and he will send a letter to the papal nuncio informing the

Holy Father of our efforts. What a wonderful gift to the

Holy Father as he continues to reach out to the poorest

among us!

After the Masses on Aug. 15-16, St. Helen parishioners

will have the opportunity to sign letters to Senator Brown,

Senator Portman, and Representative Turner (or Speaker

Boehner). We hope everyone will take a few minutes to

advocate for programs that affect the well-being of chil-

dren. Then stay tuned for Part Two of the spiritual bouquet

– a pledge to collect one million items of food during 2015

-16!

THE FAIR TRADE SALE IS BACK! Join us next Sunday in the Smith Building dur-

ing coffee and donuts to purchase Fair Trade prod-

ucts. There will be plenty of coffee, tea, chocolate,

and olive oil available. All items are sold at cost and

support Fair Trade farmers.

ST. HELEN GUIDE BOOK &

DIRECTORY ADVERTISING We are in the process of updating our annual

Guide Book & Directory for the church. This book will

be the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of our

Congregation. The book is being provided at no cost to

our Church, including the mailing to each family, and

again is being subsidized by local businesses that adver-

tise in it. If you own or manage a business and would

like to find out about advertising in our book, please call

the Church Office.

Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing

show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a

Guide Book & Directory advertiser over a non-

advertiser. It “will pay” to advertise in our new Guide

Book & Directory.
