2025: A JUBILEE YEAR OF HOPE
On December 24, 2024, at the Christmas Eve Mass, Pope Francis opened the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica. This marked the official start of "Jubilee 2025." The Church celebrates a jubilee year every twenty-five years. This practice dates to about the year 1300. A jubilee year is a special time of reconciliation and conversion. A pilgrimage is also a constitutive element of a jubilee year. Our Holy Father declared that hope is the central theme of this jubilee year. Let us take confidence in the hope we have in Christ Jesus. For further resources on our jubilee year, visit www.rcda.org/jubilee-2025. Happy new year, Fr. Frisoni Quick Links

Our
Pastor's Messages WORK PARTY —— THANK YOU Dear family,
We had the big work party at St. Paul the Apostle School on Saturday, January 4. Over twenty-five people helped us move the contents out of the affected rooms. In this way, we prepared for the big tile removal project that began on Monday, January 13. Thank you so much for your kind help at our work party. I am very grateful. I will keep you posted with the updates on this project. God’s peace, Fr. Frisoni THE CHALICE CONTAINING THE
PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LORD Dear family,
I recently sent a poll to our extraordinary ministers of holy communion. Remember the days before covid with the chalice served during communion? Some parishes have restored the distribution of the Precious Blood. I receive requests from time to time to resume this in our churches. If we contemplate this, we must choreograph with care any return of the chalice for the faithful. The first step was to gauge our ministers' comfort levels. How does each feel about the prospect of serving the chalice? (I would never ask a minister to serve the chalice if they are not comfortable doing this.) Here are the number of respondents to the survey by parish: OLMC -- 6; SAC -- 5; SPAC -- 17. At OLMC, two of the six respondents (33.3%) would be comfortable serving the chalice at Mass and consuming the remaining Precious Blood. At SAC, one of the five felt this way (20%). At SPAC, twelve respondents would be at ease serving the Precious Blood (70.6%). I will now pray over these results and consult our pastoral council on this question. I will keep you posted on any developments if there are any. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us with his wisdom and courage. God's peace, Fr. Frisoni |
