3 NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS J 29: S. P P A 7-12: C C K A 14: O B S 26-30: O R O 1: M N 12: C H S C C A R C N 12, :30 It is with great joy that we announce the visit of His Grace, Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, to Saint Francis de Sales Oratory on Saturday, November 12, 2016, at 10:30am. Archbishop Carlson will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation and will assist at a Solemn High Mass. Please contact the rectory office if you or your child(ren) would like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. We can help you review the eligibility requirements and register for classes mandatory for anyone who will be confirmed. Classes will be taught from April to July and from September to October. O 1, 2016 D R M We are happy to announce that St. Francis de Sales Oratory will be hosting a silent retreat on Saturday, October 1, Canon Matthew L. Talarico, Provincial Superior, will preach three Spiritual Conferences for men (18 years and older). Please mark your calendars and look for details in upcoming bulletins. O E N T N, - -. W? Two things: (1.) The static reservoir which regulates the airpressure has begun to fall apart at the seams. Once the reservoir falls apart, the organ will not have the air pressure it needs for the pipes to sound. The organ will be completely silent. (2.) The mechanical machines (balance valves) that exist beneath every large pipe of our organ are made of magnets, wiring, and leather. The leather has deteriorated to the point that those machines no longer function, causing many of the pedal pipes to sound simultaneously. C? The organ can be repaired! However, this won t be an easy fix and the Oratory must progress prudently. For example: the offending balance valves can be re-leathered (a very basic repair) but their placement is inside a chest that sits below nearly 1000 lbs. of wooden pipes. Practically speaking, moving 1000 lbs. of wooden pedal pipes is a job you only want to do once. This basic repair begs the question: what do we repair next?. If we begin to repair one, it makes infinite sense to repair others connected to this one that are equally in need of restoration. So all of the balance valves should be fixed at this time as they are in the exact same condition as the broken ones were just a few weeks ago. H? The complete restoration will be broken into three phases totaling $320,000. The first phase will cost $49,000 and will get the organ up and running once again. The second phase will cost $186,000. The third and last phase will cost $85,000. W? The Oratory s organ is an excellent example of American organ building in the early 20th century. The materials used to make the pipes are very desirable both in substance and scale. While the instrument is mechanically failing, the pipework is a great example of a high point of organ building in America and should be preserved. To build a new instrument to the same size and scale would cost $960,000!

8 TO ALL OUR GUESTS Canon Wiener and the faithful of St. Francis de Sales Oratory welcome you, and hope that your time in the Cathedral of South St. Louis may be an opportunity to share in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Faith. Please enjoy the beauty of this building dedicated to St. Francis de Sales, co-patron of the INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST. According to liturgical tradition, and the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, Holy Communion is received kneeling and on the tongue. All visitors who are not of the Catholic faith are welcome to join us in prayer, but are requested not to receive Holy Communion. Because the reception of Holy Communion is the sign of Divine and Ecclesial unity, only practicing Catholics who are free of mortal sin, and in full communion with the Catholic Church should present themselves for Holy Communion. We pray for the full visible unity among all Christians. To receive more information about the Oratory or if you desire to become a member of the Catholic Church, contact the rectory.
