CATHOLIC TELEGRAPH

The Catholic Telegraph reported on a prison in Appalachia that has brought more problems than solutions to its area. It also had a story on Brett Favre of the Green Bay packers. Read the Catholic Telegraph every week.

VOCATION VIEWS

Look about you. See the glory of God revealed. Open your hearts to receive the gifts God offers you. (Isaiah 60_1-6)

WELLNESS TIPS

Body: Have your blood pressure checked. Mind: Practice managing your time better; make a list of things you have to do. Spirit: Learn to love yourself.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

The cantors have started using the pulpit (also called ambo) for the responsorial psalm at the 8:00 Mass. Why did we make this change? We did it because the instructions for Mass give the pulpit as the primary place for the psalm. It does this because the responsorial psalm makes up part of the Word of God. We may never substitute a hymn or something not from Scripture for the psalm.

LECTORS, PLEASE NOTE

I have a hard task to ask of you. If you can, and I know at times you cannot, please wait to start the readings until people have stopped moving in church. Sometimes the cantors have a long walk back to their places or people have not stopped coming to their places. The deacon and the priest try to do this also, but at times we find it impossible to do. Do your best.
