1 Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome. The Basilica of St. John Lateran is the cathedral of Rome. This is not St. Peter's, but it is the Pope's cathedral. Also called the Church of the Holy Savior or the Church of St. John the Baptist, it was the baptism church of ancient Rome. It was built in the time of Constantine and was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in 324. This feast became a universal celebration in honor of the basilica called "the mother and mistress of all churches of Rome and the world" (omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput) as a sign of love for

2 NOVEMBER 9, 2014 PAGE 2 From the Pastor s Desk... My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, At the time of this writing, I have not yet been to LeRoy for the Diaconate Ordination of Brother Daniel Bowen; so next week I will have all the details. Suffice it to say, we are all very proud of him. FROM I look forward THE PASTOR S to being present DESK at his ordination.... Be sure to check out your parish pastoral council. Their pictures are above the water fountain in the vestibule of the church. If you have any suggestions, be sure to chat with them. You will remember that we had a beautiful candlelight procession with the Diocesan Pilgrim Statue on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Although Father Winkel and I could not be there because we were at a Convocation with all of the priests of the Diocese, I know that Deacon Chordas, Dennis Razayeski, and the Knights of Columbus did a wonderful job. Did you know that we also have a Parish Pilgrim Statue? It comes to us from St. Margaret Mary and was part of an older tradition that was part of that parish. I would like to restore the tradition of the statue visiting the homes of our families. If you would like to have the Pilgrim Statue visit your home for a week, please call the rectory and reserve a time. You will also notice a couple of new additions to the parish. In the Blessed Sacrament Chapel is a beautiful relief of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Margaret Mary. This relief was in the Church of St. Margaret Mary and now has a prominent place within Sacred Heart of Jesus. You will also see a new oriental rug in the sanctuary and also one in the St. Margaret Mary Room of the rectory. These beautiful additions are a gift from the Weaver Family. Thank you so very much. May God s blessings be yours this week. Father Ireland Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Pastor Fr. Dave R. Ireland, S.T.D. Senior Parochial Vicar Fr. Thomas J.Winkel, MDiv.
