THOUGHTS BY REV KEV As our Parish Communities of the Mon Valley continue to come together
in prayer and our many activities, I would invite us all to spend some time
this week in prayer to the Holy Spirit, for guidance, patience and grace.

Breathe into me, Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Move in me, Holy Spirit, that my work, too,
may be holy. Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I
may defend all that is holy. Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy.

Our young children celebrate their Catholic faith in your homes, as we share and live out our Catholic Faith
(as well as the classrooms of Madonna School) which has been present in our community for 20 years. The
pastoral Council will begin a new journey as a newly Combined pastoral Council, compromised of members
of each Parish Family. The Finance Councils will be meeting to assist our parish family to be good stewards of
your donations.

LITURGICAL RUMINATIONS Since 1965, people still struggle with the concepts of
BY FR. PAT Worship. In previous articles I tried to explain that our
participation in the Mass is not watching a play. It is
not just singing or reciting hymns or prayer responses. It is a true participation in the Suffering, Death, and
Resurrection of the Lord. Responses, hymns, etc. are used as language to help bring about in the present age
the Graces, etc. that the Lord accomplishes.

I have a question to ask: Would Mass still be a Mass if all the externals were removed? For example, is
Mass still a Mass if music were removed? Is Mass still a Mass if the church building were removed? What is
it that makes a mass a Mass? What is it that makes a Solemn High mass at St. Paul Cathedral and mass at a
family picnic on a card table the same? Those similarities are where we need to
concentrate.

People still think of a “true” Mass as “Smells and Bells.” The true and ultimate potential of the Sacrifice of
the Mass is still misunderstood. Misinterpreting the roles of everyone present, people still look at Mass as
something that is watched; we are made holy by osmosis. The Holiness of the Mass was seen as being in the
same room as the priest saying Mass. Actions, like the ringing of bells, are thought to enhance the “mystery”
of the ceremony. In reality, the mystery of Mass (synonymous with Sacrament) is the people’s Offering, not
just the outward signs. Bells, for example, were used at a time when people pay attention to a ceremony they
weren’t actively participating in. When people today say “they like to hear the bells,” it makes me cringe
inside, because their misunderstanding is still not where it needs to be.

“It’s not the same” people tell me. “I like the way things were when I was a child. Church felt like Church.
I liked the incense and bells.” if worship is only based on feelings, what happens when you don’t feel holy? Is
God not present, then? Why is it that people who never grew up with incense and bells still feel that they are
at Church? If Church doesn’t feel like Church, what is lacking on your part? Sometimes,
people like to think of nostalgia rather than reality. The truth of the matter is that the “good ol’ days” weren’t
very good, especially when it comes to worship. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a change.

What the Church is trying to help people to do is fully focus on what needs to be focused on. There are
growing pains. Bells aren’t being used because we want you to focus on where you need to be, rather than
being inattentive and not receiving the full benefit of the Mass.

You are Christ’s Body and individually parts of
It - The image of the Church as the Body of Christ
is described in great detail by Saint Paul in today’s
second reading. His words should inspire us as we
come to understand that, no matter our gifts, we
contribute to the life of the Church and work of
making Christ known to the world, His words
should also console us to know that we do not suffer
alone.
When any one member of the Body of Christ is
hurting or in distress, the entire Church and her
people are there to share in their pain and support
them as they are strengthened. At the same time, to
understand the Church as a Body, a unity of many
and varied parts, is a challenge to us. There is a
tension between what I want and what is good for
me, and what is good for another and for all. As we
continue our journey On Mission for the Church
Alive! our goal is to strengthen and grow the Church
as the Body of Christ. That means each of us should
seek to be strengthen in faith, hope and love, too.
Each of us has a role to play in making the Church
ever more alive! Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to
learn more and to stay informed.

REFLECTIONS BY DEACON AL
Owning vs. Renting/Borrowing your Faith
We recently watched a great movie titled Grace
Unplugged. The movie is about a Youth/Music Pastor
who gives his daughter a guitar for her 16th Birthday.
Fast forward, the daughter now in her late Teens decides
to leave the Church and pursue a professional music
career.
The daughter has “Success” and becomes a very popular
musician/singer. All the while during the movie she keeps
relating her former Christian life to her new professional
life and meets a strong faith based young man, along
with a popular movie actor (Faith vs Worldly desires).
The Christian young man sees her struggling and invites
her to his parents’ home for a home cooked meal, and
hands her a book entitled “Own It”.
Without giving any more of the movie away, the book
intrigued me so I ordered it. It is a wonderfully written
book on Faith. The book begins talking about owning
your Faith vs renting/borrowing and or even faking your
Faith.
You see, a lot of us get our Faith and Morals from our
upbringings, our parents, grandparents, and so on. Faith
that’s passed from one person to another. This isn’t a bad
thing, but do you really own it? Others may have
different views of faith than you, but their actions may not
be your
actions.
The question the book really makes you think about is
how deep, or how strong is the Faith that you really have?
Is the Faith you have something you can say is so deep,
so strong in belief that you fully trust in God, handing
over your concerns, anxieties, worries all the problems
that affect you from living the life you were created for,
or do you give them over & continue to worry?
Trust is a very difficult thing these days, Scripture is
clear when it says: Trust God with all your heart. When
you start trusting man that leads to danger because man
can’t save you only Jesus can.
When you put your trust in humans, you will be let
down, because humans aren’t perfect. Even good friends
can let you down sometimes. In the same way we can
disappoint others as well. Let’s face it, we all fall short of
being 100% trustworthy.
The Bible says to love others as yourself, put others
before yourself, serve one another, but put your full trust
in God.

Notice for All Volunteers of the Mid-Mon Valley Parishes

We follow a Savior whose love for us was so great that he called all of us to become like him, and warned
that it would be better to drown than to cause harm to their souls. This is why for many years the Diocese of
Pittsburgh has exceeded all child protection requirements of both civil law and the U.S. Catholic Bishops’
Charter for the Protection of Children and Young people (Charter). As Christian adults, we have a moral and
legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of children
and vulnerable adults as they participate in activities within or sponsored by our Diocese and local parishes.
It is our responsibility and commitment to provide an environment which is safe and nurturing and to ensure
that everyone in the care of the Church come to no harm of any kind.
The Office for the Protection of Children and Young People and Vulnerable Adults is responsible for
implementing and overseeing the full diocesan response to the Charter and compliance with the law.
Through online and in-person educational training programs, presentations and resource materials, we are
able to assist church personnel and volunteers in responding to the mandates of the Charter and our
diocesan safe environments policies. In addition, the Office for the Protection of Children and Young
organizes annual audits required by the Charter, oversees required background screenings and training of
church personnel consistent with our diocesan safe environments policy and assists in the internal
investigation process relating to child abuse allegations involving church personnel .
Helena Glaneman and Deacon Al have been appointed as the Safe Environment Coordinators through
Father Kevin for the Mid-Mon Valley Parishes. In order to facilitate the requirements of the Diocesan Safe
Environment Policy, Deacon Al and Helena with Father Kevin’s support, will be publishing bulletin
announcements, articles and speaking at each parish about the Diocesan Safe Environment Policy and the
requirements for Compliance with the policy.
We are looking forward in getting to know those involved in all ministries, volunteers and those required to
complete this valuable process. Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.
God’s Blessings, Helena Glaneman & Deacon Al Poroda
