3 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 16, 2016 Fr. Reynaldo Clutario has been incardinated to the Diocese of Phoenix. Incardination, what does it mean? As far as I remember in my Canon Law class, one of the rights and privileges of an ordained Catholic member of the clergy is that the ordained clergy member of a particular Diocese, or any religious order, or a priest belonging to any apostolic institute, has the right to transfer to any Diocese, religious order, or apostolic institute of his choice for his good and for the advantage of the Church. This movement or process is called incardination and excardination. From Wikipedia ( In the Roman Catholic Church, incardination refers to the situation of a member of the clergy being placed under the jurisdiction of a particular bishop or other ecclesiastical superior. Its antonym, excardination, denotes that a member of the clergy has been freed from one jurisdiction and is transferred to another. Both terms are derived from the Latin cardo (pivot, socket, or hinge), from which the word cardinal is also derived hence the Latin verbs incardinare (to hang on a hinge or fix) and excardinare (to unhinge or set free). The purpose of incardination is to ensure that no cleric, whether deacon or priest, is freelance, without a clear ecclesiastical superior to whom he is responsible. In the Church, a man is incardinated as the clerical subject of a diocesan bishop or his equivalent (a vicar apostolic, territorial abbot, territorial prelate, superior of a personal prelature, etc.) or of a religious institute, society of apostolic life or secular institute upon ordination to the diaconate: within the ordination ceremony prior to the actual sacrament of Holy Orders itself, the man places himself under a promise of obedience to his bishop or other ordinary of a particular church, or makes an acknowledgment of a pre-existing vow of obedience to a prior, abbot or other superior in an institute of consecrated life or society of apostolic life. According to the American National Catholic Church (ANCC), The process of incardination begins with a review of professional experience, formation, education and training. Letters of recommendation are collected while psychological examinations and criminal background checks are conducted. In my case, I decided to join the Diocese of Phoenix after serving as Associate Pastor at Elizabeth Seton in Sun City and as Pastor of St. Frances Cabrini in Camp Verde and St. Joseph in Mayer for seven years as a priest belonging to the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, an apostolic institute. Before a priest can join the Diocese of Phoenix he has to ask permission from his local Superior about his intention of leaving his own religious community and simultaneously he has to look for a benevolent bishop to accept him in his diocese. The bishop will give the priest a provisionary period of one to five years so he can discern his new life. In that period, the two local Superiors have their constant communications looking to the development of the process. As mentioned in the ANCC, the priest is required to take the psychological examination, have dental and physical examination too, and be recommended by the pastors of the parish where the priest previously worked and where he is presently working. (For example, Fr. Chad wrote a recommendation letter for me.) After four years since I applied for that process, on the 5 th day of the month of October, I was incardinated to the Diocese of Phoenix and excardinated from my community belonging to the apostolic institute of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity. I am happy for this new life as a Diocesan priest and am looking forward to a new challenge to grow in my priestly ministry with a new vision and mission in life. Please pray for me. I ask for your prayers just as Pope Francis asks us to pray for him. 3

4 Corpus Christi Catholic Church Save-the-Date for the First Annual Corpus Christi The Jubilee Year of Mercy Dec.8, Nov. 20, 2016 Being able to go to confession is a great blessing. That doesn't mean it s easy. First of all, we have to name our sin. Secondly, we have to say we are sorry to the priest. Finally, we have to promise to make up for our sins and to change. Naming our sin can be hard for many reasons. We can lose the habit of examining our conscience and then gradually lose our grasp of the difference between right and wrong. Or can we be so ashamed of our sins that we cannot even bear to speak of them. Going through the commandments is a good reality check. Have I been going to Mass on Sundays? Do I tell the truth? Do I use bad language? Do I pray? These sorts of questions can help us to name our sins. Next we have to be sorry. This doesn t necessarily require a great storm of emotion. All it requires is a sober recognition of the wrongness of our action coupled with a firm intention not to repeat it and a real desire to make up for it. This last bit can be tricky. We may think that we can never really change and we might think that nothing we do in the future could make up for our past. Here we need great confidence in God s love for us. The practice of gazing upon a crucifix can convince us of this as nothing else can. See the price he paid for us and believe again in his love. - Father John Dominic Corbett, O.P. 4 YOUTH MINISTRY Junior High Youth Ministry Sundays, 3:00-4:30 pm Rooms 5 & 6 Oct. 16 th - Follow Me Oct. 23 rd - The Cost Oct. 30 th - Here I Am Nov. 6 th - Saints and Sinners High School Youth Ministry Sundays, 6:00 pm-8:30 pm Parish Center Oct. 16 th - The Cost Oct. 23 rd - Come and See Oct. 30 th - Here I Am (Adoration/Confession) Nov. 6 th - Life Issues Service Opportunities: Junior High: Sat.

Your efforts to-date have helped these people start to put their lives back together and for that you should be proud. Yet more aid is needed. These people do not want a hand-out; they do need a hand-up. If you can help, please write a check payable to: "Knights of Columbus Charities" Send To: Knights of Columbus Charities One Columbus Plaza PO Box 1966 New Haven, CT Kindly specify "Louisiana Flood Relief" on the memo line of your check.

How do I register? All Catholics living within the Parish and regularly participating in the liturgy are invited to register in the Parish. Church attendance alone does NOT make you and your family registered members. Registration is required for Baptism, First Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage and Catholic Education programs. Adult children, 18 +, need to be registered separately from their parents in order to get mar r ied, have their own children baptized, or be Godparents or Sponsors. Also, in order to be a Godparent or Sponsor or receive discounted tuition rates at Catholic Schools, one must be a registered Catholic and active in the parish, which is indicated by use of contribution envelopes or the Online Giving program. You can register by coming to the Parish Office and filling out a short registration form. The registration form can also be downloaded from our parish website. How do I have my child Baptized? Before scheduling the date, please call the Office for a welcoming conversation with the priest. Preparation classes are also required for parents prior to the child s Baptism and are offered once a month. How do I request a Communion Call or Anointing of the Sick? Please call the parish office at DO NOT WAIT until someone is near death to have the person anointed! Although Anointing of the Sick was once known as Last Rites, waiting until a person is near death could risk that person not being able to receive the Sacrament if he or she should pass away prior to the priest being able to arrive. Anointing of the Sick can only be administered while the person is still alive. How do I get married in the Church? The Diocese of Phoenix requires a NINE MONTH marriage preparation process. John Deg, Director of Married Life Ministries, will meet with you to explain the process, including when you will meet with the Pastor to set a date. Do NOT set the date prior to this meeting as it cannot be guaranteed until then.
