Glory to you, O Lord. At the conclusion of the Gospel: Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. HOMILY PROFESSION OF FAITH I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, All bow while saying: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. NIVERSAL PRAYER Stand Lord, hear our prayer

For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAL CAMPS Twin Cities Hmong Catholic Community Located at 651 Virginia Street, Saint Paul Sunday Mass (Hmong and English) 9:00 a.m. SNDAY STEWARDSHIP CONTRIBTIONS FOR APRIL 8, 2018 Sunday Envelopes $ 7, Member EFT/Credit Card $ 9, Plate $ 7, Total Sunday Contributions $ 25, Additional Good Friday (Holy Land) $ Saint Vincent de Paul Campus $ 1, BAPTISM S FONDATIONAL MOMENT: OR PASSPORT TO THE CHRISTIAN LIFE All I have is one photo and in black and white, no less! True, my parents weren t as interested in snapping photos as some other parents in the neighborhood, but we did not seem to mind. We had enough photos, and heaven knows some go overboard on recording every conceivable moment of their children s lives. Nevertheless, I possess a single snapshot taken right after Fr. Ken Pierre baptized me on Sunday September 15, 1963, a little more than two weeks after my birth. He was a rookie priest at our parish of Nativity of Our Lord in Saint Paul. Though now retired, he remains actively engaged in ministry in this Archdiocese to this day! And yet in that little square photo is contained a visible symbol of my most important day of my faith journey on this earth. Our Baptism is the foundational moment in our Christian lives, from which we draw upon its graces each and every day. We do so to lead a good life after the pattern of our Savior, in whose name we have been reborn. For several theological and symbolic reasons, most churches were built with the Baptistery just off the Narthex, prior to entry into the main body of the church. That was no denigration of the sacrament, but rather intended to be symbolic of our entrance into the Catholic Church. As our Catechism teaches: Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. (CCC para. #1213 quoting the Council of Florence, 1439 A.D.). While I believe that theology is ever valid, since the Second Vatican Council a renewed appreciation of the public nature of the sacrament has resulted in many churches being built with a more centrally located font. Typically, they are now situated just inside the entrance to the main body of the Church, rather than in a separate Baptistery. In this way, while blessing themselves with holy water from the font, the faithful are reminded of the centrality of their own Baptism. But I have never understood the practice of locating baptismal fonts in the sanctuary, as again the element of entrance into the faith is more powerful when located at or near the entrance of the church. The earliest known example of a baptismal font is found in the ancient house-church at Dura Europos (c. 232 AD), where a special room off the central courtyard, set apart from the main liturgical area, was converted to an elaborately decorated Baptistery. The font itself was covered by a dignified canopy, accompanied by several scriptural scenes depicting the Good Shepherd, Jesus and Peter walking on water, the Woman at the Well, the Healing of the Paralytic, and the Women at the Tomb. The Baptistery was often in a completely separate building think of the massive Baptistery next to the leaning tower of Pisa, for example. Those buildings actually provided some privacy for the full-immersion Baptisms, in which the recipients were not clothed! Later, churches located the space for Baptism just inside the front door. Our Cathedral Baptistery is dignified in its simplicity. Sixteen feet square in size, it is lined with Numidian Cipollino and dark Botticino marble. The font itself made of light Botticino, and really stands out against the darker walls and even the Tennessee Pink marble floor. The font itself is round, symbolic of the womb and reminds us that through Baptism, we are reborn into new life with Christ. While foraging in the basement recently before Holy Week, I once again came upon our Baptismal font cover, placed in storage about fifteen years ago. It was done so in order to facili-

5 tate the pouring of water more easily at Baptism, certainly a practical consideration worth noting. I am interested in bringing it back, as it was specifically designed for the space and is extremely well-crafted. The Cathedral bulletin of April 5, 1941 contains this tidbit: We invite you to go back to the Baptistery of the Cathedral to see the beautiful new bronze cover of the Baptismal font. This is a memorial to the late Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, given by their late daughter Mrs. Anne Kennedy Thomason. The figure is that of St. John the Baptist after a design by Woolett. The casting was under the supervision of the St. Paul Statuary under the direction of Mr. A. J. Brioschi. In December of the same year, Da Prato delivered the wrought-iron Baptistery grille. It is heavy, substantial and magnificent and it makes a regal (almost medieval) sound when you slide the heavy hatches up from the floor while opening the gate. It is solid! Please take a moment to visit our Baptistery and consider how many thousands have been washed clean and brought into the Church at that very font. We are currently on volume 43 of our Baptismal Register, 35 of which record Baptisms after this, our fourth Cathedral, opened. Speaking of Baptism, 228 catechumens (non-baptized) and 386 candidates (already baptized) were received into the Catholic Church during the Easter Vigil in this Archdiocese. Nationwide, more than 30,000 people were welcomed into the Church this Easter! This is my 300th Pastor s Page since coming to the Cathedral, and I truly enjoy preparing each one. I leave for Puerto Rico tomorrow and hope to report on my visit in next Sunday s bulletin, if I am able to sneak in some writing before the Wednesday deadline. Vatican Radio, as it has been known since its debut in 1931, is officially gone. A new communications strategy has gone digital, meaning that the 40+ languages of Vatican Radio have been replaced with a webpage containing accessible audio files, while many programs have ceased all together. Not everyone in the world has an ipad or computer, and my fear is that places that relied on radio waves for Catholic news will be left out in the cold. Before dashing for the parking lot it s time for the annual Marie Marcotte Lemon Pie Sale, courtesy of our Women s Association. I fervently urge you to head downstairs following our Sunday morning Masses (8:00, 10:00 and Noon, while supplies last). These pies are made from scratch on site in a three-day process, no less. Trust me, you will not be disappointed! It could be worse! As you stragglers send in those tax returns no later than Tuesday, please consider that during World War II, a 94% rate applied to the highest tax bracket. As recently as 1986, the highest rate was 50%, before the massive Reagan tax cuts. Go West, young man? Or not. More Minnesotans are moving into the cities. Ramsey County s growth of 7.7% since the 2010 census outpaced even fast growing Dakota County, while Carver County is the fastest growing county in the state. Still, more than half of Minnesota counties lost population in 2017, with the western counties near the South Dakota border decreasing the most. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L. bel, Rector CATHEDRAL CALENDAR Sunday, April 15 - Lemon Pie Sale Sunday Lemon Pie Sale Begins after 8:00 a.m. Mass in Hayden Hall 9:00 a.m. Calix Society Meeting - Ryan Room 11:15 a.m. Rosary for Life - Cana Chapel 6:00 p.m. Rosary for Life - Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Monday, April 16 Tuesday, April 17 Wednesday, April 18 4:00 p.m. St. Thomas Choristers - Choir Room 4:00 p.m. Ss.

The full line reads: Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. ( NAB)

7 Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES John Ireland... student The Ireland family arrived in Chicago in Their time there was brief, shortened by a chance meeting with a fellow Kilkenny man, John O Gorman. Pooling resources, the Irelands and O Gormans set off for the Minnesota frontier. They were attracted by the pages of the Minnesota Pioneer... that waxed lyrical about the glories of the Minnesota Territory, its fresh bracing climate, its lands as fertile as the banks of the Nile, and the unparalled possibilities for economic development. John Ireland s first sight of Saint Paul from the deck of the Nominee was stark: there was no capitol building, no city hall. But there was a cathedral, the second Cathedral of Saint Paul a three-story building on Sixth and Wabasha. If John Ireland had looked to the east, he may also have seen the first Cathedral of Saint Paul, a log cabin now occupied by the Sisters of Saint Joseph. On the ground floor of the second Cathedral, Bishop Joseph Cretin set up a school for boys. It was here that fourteen-year old Johnny Ireland and eleven-year Tommy O Gorman received a rudimentary education. It wasn t long before Bishop Cretin observed qualities in the boys that indicated they were good candidates for the priesthood. He proposed to send them to study in France and told them, they were the first seminarians of St. Paul. Father Augustin Ravoux was appointed their escort on the month-long journey to France. In his old age, Ireland recalled that the journey was lightened by various boyish pranks and mishaps which much discomfited the strait-laced chaperon Ravoux. In mid-october 1853, Ravoux and his two charges arrived at the preparatory seminary in Meximieux, Cretin s own alma mater. From the first, seminarian John Ireland was a good student mentally quick and mentally deep at the same time... For Ireland to want to learn a thing was to learn it. When he arrived in 1853, he knew no French. Less than three months later, he was speaking and writing letters in French to Bishop Cretin, who wrote that he was pleased that he wrote so well. Excerpts from John Ireland and the American Catholic Church, by Marvin O Connell. Note: Visit the exhibit in Hayden Hall for a detailed account of boyish pranks and mishaps that Johnny Ireland and Tommy O Gorman visited upon Father Ravoux. ACSP. Museum Hours.
