Every time you place change in the baby bottle, pause to pray for the dear souls who walk into the offices of PDHC.

Childrens Liturgy of the Word (or CLOW for short) will begin again on Sunday, October 2nd at 11:00 Mass. We are sorry for the delay in beginning this fall, but we are looking forward to meeting with your children in kindergarten through 5th grade once Victory Hall is again ready for use. This is a very worthwhile ministry which helps the children of OLV understand each weeks Liturgy of the Word on their own level. During the Childrens Liturgy, each weeks Gospel is read to the children and the homilist explains its meaning in a way that children can understand. The children take an active part as they ask and answer questions during the homily, profess their faith, read the prayers of the faithful, offer up their own petitions and carry up the offertory gifts when they return to the congregation upstairs. If you havent had an opportunity to witness Childrens Liturgy, please join us downstairs to observe the experience. Its great to see the children participate in a meaningful way in the Mass. In addition to your childs participation, were looking for new parents to participate. Each week we need 6 to 7 volunteers to act as pied pipers, musicians, leaders and homilists, as well as to help with clean up and set up. No prior knowledge is necessary, and the time commitment is generally for only one or two Sundays a month during the 11:00 Mass. We are happy to train you for a position that meets your talents, but we NEED your help. CLOW has been a strong ministry for the children of OLV for over 25 years, but we need new members to continue so were asking for your help. If you are interested, please contact Beth Davin at 486-3875 or ead@netset1.com to discuss how you can get involved.

Please join Our Lady of Victory Parish as we embrace our newest ministry, Run The Race. Run the Race is a wonderful ministry on the west side of Columbusjust 3.6 miles from OLV. It was developed by Rachel Muha in loving memory of her son, Brian Muha, who was killed 10 years ago. This center especially fosters health and happiness through spiritual and emotional development for kids ages 3-18 years olds. Pantry items that are ALWAYS needed: Granola Bars, Fruit Bars, Fruit-Cups, Cans of Protein: Tuna, Chicken meals. Please place these items in the boxes in the lower level of the Parish Life Center where Sunday school takes place.

TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

In the next few weeks, we will be talking about the upcoming changes in the Mass. These changes will be effective the first Sunday of Advent. There is an adage which says Ecclesia Semper Reformanda: The Church is always in need of renewal. In the last fifty years, we have experienced changes in the Liturgy which have been rather dramatic such as the use of the vernacular, facing the people of God at Mass and their more active participation in the Liturgy. In the past decade or so a new edition of the Roman Missal has been issued. The new edition includes new prayers to be used at Mass for the celebration of the Saints who had been recently canonized. In 2010, Rome approved the English translation that was submitted by the English speaking countries of the world. With the coming of the English translation, some of the words we use at Mass will be changing, although it is important to note that the Mass itself is not changing. Liturgist, Joe Paparocki writes: A draft of the Declaration of Independence reveals a mysterious smudge of ink that has long baffled historians. Apparently Thomas Jefferson changed his mind about a word and erased it while the ink was still wet. Scientists recently discovered that the word he erased was subjects which he replaced with citizens. The one word re-defined the people of the American colonies. Words have the power to change lives and even alter the course of history. On a less dramatic note, just think of the last time you tried to select a greeting card for a special occasion. No doubt, you pored over the words of numerous cards, looking for just the right words to express your sentiments. Words can have a profound impact - for better or for worse - on our significant relationships. In the same way, words can play a very important part in our relationship with God. Catholics worship using both words and sacrament (sign, symbol, ritual). The words we use in worship are chosen carefully so as to best express our understanding of and relationship with God. Some of these words we Catholics use in worship date all the way back to the time of the Apostles. For example, the words of Jesus, at the Last Supper, have been part of our Eucharistic celebrations for 2000 years. Most of the other words that make up the prayers and texts of the Mass have been culled together over a period of as many years, including texts that are relatively new - formulated in the 20th century. In all of this, one thing remains clear - these words have power! They have the power to form us and shape us as Catholics. These prayers tell us what we believe about ourselves, about what God wants for us and from us, and about how we are to live in the world. The words with which we pray have the power to change us and to transform us. In the coming weeks, we will continue to explore how these changes will impact our life of worship, inviting us to delve deeper into the mystery of the Eucharist that is at the center of our lives.

Join us for the Living Rosary to Pray for Human Life sponsored by the Respect Life Committee on Sunday, October 9 from 6:307:30p at Our Lady of Victory. Families are encouraged to attend!
