Blessing of Religious Articles: On the First Sunday of the Month.
6 Day Votive Lights: The price per candle is $3.00, $70 per case; the small 8 hour votive lights are 50¢ each.
Confessions: Priority should be given especially the last thirty minutes of confessions to those who drive a great distance, have little children, elderly and or are disabled. Those living in closer proximity please be here early; Confessions begin at 8:00 a.m. Of course, and I think that it goes without saying, that those who live in close proximity to the church, should come for confessions on Saturday morning if at all possible.
There is a difference between a home and a boardinghouse. In a boardinghouse a person usually obtains only his necessities an rest, but in a home he receives not merely the necessities of life but also care and love, and in turn he is vitally concerned about all that effects the stability and happiness of the home.
Some Catholics, it is to be feared, are content to look upon their parish, not as a home, but as a spiritual boardinghouse. They are satisfied to look for the bare essentials, such as the Mass and the Sacraments, but at this point their interest and activity in their parish cease. They lose all the wonderful spiritual and social fruits that might result from their full participation in active parish life.
Those who dash off after Mass as soon as possible. . .and then give the rest of the day to amusements, without ever a prayer or thought of God, are transgressing the spirt if not the letter of the law.
If you or a loved one is admitted to the hospital, please let your parish priest know.
Fr. Jenkins online instructions: wcbohio.blogspot.com
Our church is dedicated to the practice of the traditional Roman Catholic religion. This includes the traditional Latin Roman Rite of Holy Mass and the sacraments. We do not regard the New Mass created after Vatican Council II to be a true Catholic Mass. Only those who regularly attend exclusively the traditional Latin Rite of Mass, who are properly dressed (see below), and are in the state of Sanctifying Grace may receive.
Please read "Word of Introduction" on the Home page.
READY REFERENCE FOR SICK CALLS
As a brief explanation: The following is in regards to having a priest make a visit, be it at home, hospital, retirement or nursing home, etc. in order to bring the Blessed Sacrament and give Holy Communion to an invalid, sick or house bound individual. This quite often is referred to as a “Sick Call.” The priest may actually administer several of the Sacraments to the sick person; Extreme Unction, Penance (hear their Confession) and give him (her) Holy Communion and the Apostolic Benediction. Commonly referred to as “Last Rites.
The priest will routinely bring Holy Communion and hear the Confession of the individual without giving Extreme Unction.
For a sick call to an invalid, sick or house bound individual, contact the priest a few days ahead of time, this allows him to put it on his schedule to make a visit. Of course in an emergency, if someone is in proximate danger of dying, you would call and ask the priest to come immediately.
Several points should be remembered in preparation for the priest arrival. The room itself should be neat and tidy. Pets should confined and must not be present in the room of the sick person. The television and radio should be turned off. There should be a small table covered with a white cloth, (linen if possible). In a hospital setting, items such as the remote control, food tray, flowers, water jug, etc. should all be removed from the table that will be set up for the sick call as will be described below.
Those who are to be in the room during the sick call should be dressed appropriately, ladies and girls should have on head coverings, even as one would if one was going to make a visit to a Church, as the Blessed Sacrament will be present there in that room. Once again, I am referring to a routine sick call.
In an emergency, most or much of this may be or will have to be dispensed with, due to the urgency of someone in danger of death needing to receive Last Rites.
The one who will be receiving the Sacraments should be given sufficient time to prepare. What may be done is that prayers may be recited (possibly the rosary), or the individual may use a prayer book; but basically, some time (maybe ten or fifteen minutes) preceding the arrival of the priest, the individual should be preparing himself for confession, if need be, prepare himself so that he may have the proper disposition for receiving any of the Sacraments. There should be no idle chatter and laughter, in order that the sick person may make a proper preparation without distractions while waiting for the priest’s arrival.
At the arrival of the priest, if some necessary directions or information needs to be given to the priest that may be done now. Aside from thanking the priest for coming, there should be no other exchange of pleasantries; saying hello, or asking about the road, the trip, the weather, etc. Aside from the one meeting the priest (carrying a candle) at the door or entry of the house, all that may be present should kneel down and silence should prevail now till the completion of the varies Rites given, be it Holy Communion, Confession, Extreme Unction or the Apostolic Benediction. While kneeling all present should be praying, silently, and following the ceremonies of the reception of the Sacraments.
The priest may ask one of those present to recite the Confiteor” and if the responses are known, they may be made as well. Any man or boy present should make the necessary responses, or if there are no men present that knows the responses, a woman may do all of the above. The sick person himself, may make the responses if no one else is able do this, if he is able. The Confiteor will be recited before Holy Communion and Extreme Unction.
If the invalid has received Holy Communion, he should be allowed some time for making his thanksgiving. However once the ceremonies are completed, one may now speak to the priest, the priest can now break the silence, now that Holy Communion, and any other rituals has been taken care of.
If there are non-Catholics present, they should be instructed concerning what is to take place and the protocol to be followed, and if they are unwilling to conform or don’t understand this necessity, they should be asked to leave during, and until after Holy Communion and any other Sacraments are given to the sick person.
The following preparations are made in preparation for the visit by the priest, as listed below, this, before the priest arrives. Sometimes, due to circumstances and by way of an example, if this visit of the priest is to be in a hospital, one may not be able to light candles, because oxygen is in use.
PREPARATION OF A SICK ROOM
1. A chair near the bed for the priest.
2. A small table covered with a clean white cloth.
a. A crucifix on the center of the table.
b. Two blessed candles, lighted — one on either side of the crucifix.
c. A container of holy water.
d. A small glass of drinking water and a spoon.
e. A linen cloth or linen napkin as Communion cloth for the sick.
f. A finger bowl with a little water in it for purifying the priest’s fingers, and a small finger towel.
g. A couple of cotton balls.
h. If Extreme Unction is to be given: A slice of lemon and slice of bread – for convenience sake, one may instead have a few alcohol based pads enclosed in little packets.
PROCEDURE FOR SICK CALLS
1. Meet the priest at the door – carrying lighted candle.
Genuflect to the Blessed Sacrament.
2. Lead the priest directly to the sick room in silence.
3. Everyone should leave the room if the sick person wishes to go to confession.
4. Return upon completion of confession.
5. Confiteor may be said along with the priest after the sprinkling of holy water and confession.
The faithful who accompany the Blessed Sacrament, with or without lights, when It is being carried solemnly to the sick, are granted:
