Holy Hour for Victims of Child Abuse | Child Abuse Prevention Month

PARISH BULLETINS/PUBLICITY

Bishop David Bonnar will preside over a Holy Hour with Benediction for victims of child abuse on April 24, 2022, from 1:00-2:00pm, at St. Columba Cathedral. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Sunday, April 24 is also the Octave of Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday.

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, written by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to address child sexual abuse in the Church in the United States. The Diocese of Youngstown’s Safe Environment Policy continues to implement the Charter, including safe environment training, compliance with regular audits, and the obligation to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to the proper civil authorities.

In addition to our efforts to maintain a safe environment for children and youth and to stand with victims of child sexual abuse, you are invited to take time this month, including during this Holy Hour, to pray for victims of child abuse, all families and communities who are traumatized by the rippling effects of abuse, and for healing in our Church and in our world.

Visit the Safe Environment page on the diocesan website to find our most up-to-date Reporting Requirements and Procedures in English and Spanish.


5. Questions or Concerns

For more information about the Diocese of Youngstown Safe Environment Policy, contact by mail: 144 W. Wood Street, Youngstown, OH 44503, phone: 330-744-8451 x293; fax: 330-744-5099; or e-mail: dcolucy@youngstowndiocese.org.

Letters of Suitability

Please note that no priest or deacon may exercise ministry within the Diocese of Youngstown without being granted faculties/permission by the bishop.  It is the obligation of the pastor of the parish where ministry or speaking engagement will occur (or other responsible person outside a parish setting) to insure that the visiting cleric has obtained a letter of suitability.  Without such a letter, the Diocese, the parish or school and the pastor or president could become legally liable should any wrongdoing occur. 

 

The visiting cleric himself should ask his bishop or religious superior to send a letter of suitability to Bishop Bonnar.  Letters of suitability are to be sent from one bishop/superior to another, not directly to a parish, since it is the bishop who is responsible for determining a cleric’s suitability for ministry. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Msgr. John Zuraw, Chancellor

Archives Office

Every diocese must, by Canon Law, maintain a place to safeguard materials which pertain to the spiritual and temporal affairs of the diocese, as well as its history.  These records are to be “diligently protected and systematically ordered (Canon 491.2).”  That’s the necessity of the archives.  There is also a beauty and a joy to our diocesan archives.  The Church beautifully describes the pastoral function of archives as “places of memory of the Christian community.” There is joy in preserving knowledge and understanding of the Church of Youngstown in order to clearly see our present and plan for our future.  We need the memory stored in our archives in order to tell truthfully the story of the people, the saints, the leaders and workers, who have shaped our communities.  The archives staff looks forward in the months and years ahead, to assessing, organizing, collecting, preserving, and making available the records and materials of our community memory.  If you have questions, please contact Joan Lawson, Archivist, at 330-744-8451 x290, or email jlawson@youngstowndiocese.org

1. RICE BOWL – ANNUAL COLLECTION

Lent is a time of repentance and of uniting ourselves to Christ during his 40 days in the desert. During this sacred season, CRS Rice Bowl—Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten faith-in-action program—invites us to reflect on how caring for our neighbor is caring for Christ.

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink.”
(Matthew 25:35)

CRS Rice Bowl provides resources to bring Lenten spirituality to life for families, parishes and school communities, while continuing to connect Catholics in our diocese with our global human family. As Jesus teaches in the Gospel story of the loaves of bread and the fish, your small offering can feed many, and what may seem like a little, can actually be a lot.

This year, CRS invites you to journey to Madagascar, El Salvador and Timor-Leste to learn about the root causes of hunger and how communities—with the support of CRS and faith communities like yours—are making sure they have nutritious food to thrive. Through stories, videos and lesson plans, your local community can learn about the global issue of hunger and malnutrition and the Gospel call to feed the hungry. With prayer, fasting and almsgiving, we can continue Jesus’ mission to care for those in need.

We hear Jesus’s command to feed the hungry, whether he is multiplying loaves and fish for a crowd of thousands, or simply breaking bread with friends. Jesus invites us to share what we have with all people—in our local community and with our global human family.

All households are encouraged to participate in the 2022 collection. Seventy-five percent (75%) of this collection is forwarded to the national office, and twenty-five percent (25%) will remain here in
our Diocese to address issues relating to hunger. Rice Bowl materials are available in your local parish, or make a gift online at https://tinyurl.com/crsricebowl22.

If you need more information at the local level, please contact your CRS Diocesan Director, Jennifer Lucarelli at 330-744-8451, or jlucarelli@youngstowndiocese.org.

To read more about Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl, please visit https://www.crsricebowl.org. Stories of hope celebrate the many lives that our Lenten journey touches.

Thank you for joining your faith community to experience an enriched Lenten journey through CRS Rice Bowl. What we do for Lent we do for Life.

 

2. RICE BOWL – LOCAL GRANT OPPORTUNITY

CRS Rice Bowl is the official Lenten program of Catholic Relief Services, the official overseas international relief and development agency of the United States Bishops. It was created in 1975 with the goal of entering into solidarity with our brothers and sisters overseas through prayer, fasting, learning, and giving. This Lenten program is conducted in Catholic parishes and schools throughout the Diocese of Youngstown. Seventy-five percent of the funds raised are sent to CRS for international development projects; twenty-five percent of CRS Rice Bowl supports local programs and initiatives that address hunger and poverty.

Local groups and organizations are encouraged to apply for grants that will alleviate hunger and poverty in your community. Guidelines are as follows:

1. The project requesting funds must be operated within the geographical boundaries of the Diocese of Youngstown.

2. Projects must be consistent with Catholic moral and social teaching.

3. Recipient must be a not-for-profit organization.

4. The project requesting funds should make an immediate impact to alleviate poverty and hunger within the Diocese of Youngstown.

5. Grants are made on an annual basis only.

2. Social Media Helpful Hint of the Month – Make your own “Stock” Photos

 

Last month, we discussed using royalty-free images as to avoid breaking copyright laws.  This month, let’s consider making your own stock-file of photos to use with posts, to created memes, and for use with publicity of future events.  Grab your camera (or invite a photographer to donate a few hours of time) to take a number of pictures that you can store on your computer for use as needed.  Perhaps looks back over the 2019 calendar to see what events typically happen over a season or a year at your parish, school or agency to map out what types of images it would be helpful to have on hand.  Here is just a suggested list to get you started:

 

Parishes:  the outside of your Church, the main Church doors, any outdoors grottos or statues, your parish sign, close ups of any building ornamentation, close ups of indoor ornamentation, statues, stained glass windows, the sanctuary, the altar, the Easter candle, the tabernacle, the holy oils, mosaics and other art, some pews from the front, some pews from the back, a confessional, the Baptismal font, a holy water basin, votive candles, a hymnal, choir loft/section, plates of food related to events (spaghetti, pancakes, doughnuts, pierogi, etc.)

 

Schools: the outside of your school, the main school doors, any outdoors grottos or statues, your school sign, close ups of any building ornamentation, close ups of indoor ornamentation, statues, stained glass windows, your chapel (the sanctuary, the altar, the candles, the tabernacle,  mosaics and other art, desks, cafeteria, gym, auditorium, hallway, library, school banners, etc.

 

Agencies:  whatever is unique and whatever shows your connection to our Catholic faith.  Cemeteries for example can take photos of the chapel, unique grave markers, historical graves, bare trees in winter, blooming trees and flowers  in spring, full-bloom trees and flowers in summer, changing leaves in fall, the gates/entrance, a road, bench, visiting birds, a hearse, lovely natural elements.  A service office might want photos of the crucifix, statues, etc. that decorate the main entrance and hallways, as well as the outside of your building, sign, and doors. 

 

Reminder:  when including people in photos, particularly when their faces are clearly visible, get their permission to their images.  Written release forms are preferred when using photos of minor children (especially if also using their names in a post).  For a “Permission to Publish Consent Form template, please see form F21 at:

https://catechistcafe.weebly.com/directory-for-catechesis.html

 

Happy picture taking!

Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry

1. Considering Preparation for Ministry as a Lay Person?

 

All Christian persons by nature of their Baptism, and strengthened by Confirmation, are called to pass on the faith with a zeal for bringing others closer to Christ and the Church.  Some persons have a particular call to participate in the work of the church as professionally prepared lay ecclesial ministers.  These persons share responsibility for various areas including pastoral care, adult faith formation, youth and young adult ministry, family and children catechesis, sacramental preparation, liturgy, music, and evangelization.  If you have ever wondered about becoming prepared for a parish ministry position, please contact Barbara Walko for assistance in discerning academic and experiential qualifications with a possible path toward meaningful and life giving ministry.

 

 

2. Pastors Seeking Parish Ministers

 

Pastors hoping to hire new or additional staff persons in the areas of adult faith formation, youth ministry, young adult ministry, children and family formation, pastoral ministry, and other key areas of parish life are asked to contact Barbara Walko for assistance.  The office will provide assistance in posting available positions, screening applicants, preparation of a position description and compensation packages.

 

 

3. Ministry Preparation: Earn a Master of Arts degree locally

 

Look into LIMEX!  Loyola University New Orleans offers degrees and certificates in Ministry and Theology in an Extension Program. We are still gathering a local learning group for 2022, and it’s not too late to enter the process.  For additional information, contact Margie Hynes in the Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry, 330-744-8451 x296, or email mhynes@youngstowndiocese.org.  

 

 

4. Resources to Implement Bishop Bonnar’s First Pastoral Letter

 

With Bishop Bonnar’s letter, “Testify to the Light” many parishes may embark on new or enhanced efforts in the five areas he has prioritized.  The Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry has curated a list of resources which may be reviewed on the home page of https://catechistcafe.weebly.com.  Please feel free to contact the staff of the Office of Faith Formation and Lay Ecclesial Ministry to borrow these and other resources to develop Faith Formation and Pastoral processes.  The staff is anxious to help parishes design new initiatives to respond to the needs in the diverse church communities.

 

 

5. Easter Small Group Resources

             

Please visit catechistcafe.weebly.com to explore the variety of resources appropriate for small Christian communities during the season of Easter.  Many persons are eager to “do” something or learn a new spiritual exercise and may springboard to an Easter season sharing group.  A variety of topics and many “how to” ideas are readily available.

 

6. New Library Resources

 

Being Claimed by the Eucharist We Celebrate. Fr. Scott P.Detisch. Liturgical Press, 2022. The eucharistic celebration is a vital part of the life and ministry of every priest and deacon. At the same time, the Eucharist is also a compelling narrative of all that Christ is for the people of God. In this book, Fr. Scott Detisch explores a spirituality of holy orders through the eucharistic actions of Christ: take, bless, break and give. These are more than ritual actions the deacon or priest performs within the liturgy. As they did for Jesus Christ, these eucharistic words define who a priest or deacon is for God’s people.

 

Walking Together: A Primer on the New Synodality. Moira McQueen. Twenty-Third Publications, 2022. The Second Vatican council (1962-65) shone a light on the idea of all the baptized – the whole People of God – walking, working and discerning together to further their mission as Christians. More recently, Pope Francis has brought the Church’s teaching in this area into sharper focus, calling synodality “an essential dimension of the Church.” This user-friendly guide explores this fascinating topic while preparing, encouraging, and guiding readers to take part in diocesan and regional consultations leading up to the Synod on Synodality in Rome 2023. Through this global conversation process, lay voices can be an important part of the conversation with official Church leaders as we shape the future Church together. 

 

Faith Talk: Having Conversations that Matter with Youth. Robert J. McCarty. DMin. Saint Mary’s Press, 2018. A guide for the shift from an emphasis on telling young people what to believe, to focusing on accompanying young people on their faith journey. Dr. McCarty provides a vision, a methodology, and practical tools for this shift, starting by deeply listening to young people’s experiences, their questions, and their concerns about life, spirituality, and the Church.

 

Lifelong Faith: Formation for All Ages and Generations. John Roberto. Church Publishing Inc., 2022. Vibrant lifelong faith formation can renew and revitalize faith across generations and contribute towards a thriving congregation that lives its mission. Using the seven elements outlined in this book, churches will create a dynamic and vital plan that can be customized to meet the needs, interests, and challenges we face today and nurture the spiritual growth of all ages. With current research, clear examples, and tools for design and evaluation, Lifelong Faith is a practical, thoughtful, and comprehensive guide for clergy, educators, and lay leaders who seek a fresh, holistic approach to Christian education and discipleship.

Office of Worship

1. Lenten Season Regulations

 

All Catholics are encouraged to participate in the traditional Lenten practice of prayer, sacrifice, and almsgiving.  Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence – one full meal and two smaller meals for persons 18 thru 59 years of age; no meat for persons 14 years and older.  All Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence – no meat for persons 14 years and older.  There is no obligation to fast during the weekdays of Lent; however voluntary acts of self-denial are encouraged.

 

2. Chrism Mass – April 12, 2022

 

The Chrism Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. in Saint Columba Cathedral.  There will be no attendance restrictions this year and information letters and details will be sent in the coming weeks.

 

3. Easter Vigil – April 16, 2022 — Universal Diocesan Starting Time

 

The Easter Vigil will be on Saturday, April 16, 2022.  The Roman Missal states that, “the entire celebration of the Easter Vigil must take place during the night, so that it begins after nightfall…”  Furthermore, the Priest Policy Handbook states that the Easter Vigil “is not to take place at the time of the ordinary anticipated Mass for Sunday,” (cf. Faculties and Permissions, Section V, pg. 10).  In the Diocese of Youngstown, sunset on April 16, 2022, will be at 8:03 p.m. and the end of civil twilight will be at 8:32 p.m.  It is current diocesan policy that the starting time for the Easter Vigil throughout the diocese be at 8:00 p.m. or later.  This starting time respects the current liturgical guidelines and diocesan policy.  Furthermore it makes the Easter Vigil distinctive from the ordinary anticipated Mass for Sunday and alleviates any confusion among parishes.  Therefore the Easter Vigil is not to begin before 8:00 p.m.  Please note that because daylight savings time begins each year in early March, the recommended start time of Easter Vigil will never be before 8 p.m. 

 

4. Confirmation of Baptized Catholics at the Easter Vigil

 

Priests are reminded that the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults gives them the faculty to confirm catechumens and candidates at the Easter Vigil.  However, if there are persons who are baptized Catholic and completing their initiation at the Easter Vigil, the pastor must request permission of Bishop David J. Bonnar to confirm them.  A letter of request stating the names of only those individuals who were baptized Catholic and who will be confirmed at the Easter Vigil should be sent to the Bishop’s Office as soon as possible.

 

5. 45th National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) Convention

 

The 54th National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) Convention will be held in Louisville, Kentucky June 28-July 1, 2022.  This year’s theme is “Tested by Fire – Renewed and Transformed.”   The event will be a “hybrid event,” offering both an in-person and virtual experience for an attendee to register.  For more information: www.npm.org

 

 

6. Sacred Music Conference – Atheneaum of Ohio

 

The Sacred Music Institute at Mount Saint Mary Seminary, Cincinnati will offer a three-day conference entitled “Sung Worship: the Work of Our Baptism”  on July 20-23, 2022.  The conference will focus on the meaning of sung worship, the element of sacrifice in the Mass, and the notion of active participation in the liturgy as the vocation of the baptized.  For more information:  www.athenaeum.edu/sung-worship

 

 

7. Liturgical Directory

 

The Liturgical Directory contains valuable information about Liturgy Committees; liturgical minister formation guidelines; guidelines for the celebration of sacraments; music in liturgical celebrations; and art and architecture directives.  The directory can be accessed and downloaded from the diocesan website by clicking on “Worship” under the “Ministries” tab.
