Parish Grants Part of OCP s mission of service As part of OCP s ongoing commitment to service, the company provides direct financial assistance to Roman Catholic parishes across the United States through its annual OCP Parish Grants program. Dear OCP, Please accept our very heartfelt thanks for the 2014 grant award. We ve just ordered the OCP Choral Praise books for our choir and have scheduled our much needed organ repair work. We are able to do this because of your generosity! Marie Winn Music Director, St. Lawrence Martyr Church, Sayville, New York Since the inception of the grants program in 2001, OCP has provided more than $2.8 million in support of parishes looking to enhance their worship experience. We thought we would share some notes from parishes who have received grants through the program over the years with you, our faithful Today s Liturgy readers. Enjoy! Dear OCP, We are ecstatic to have been given a parish grant from OCP. With this assistance we will be able to upgrade our facility and improve sound quality for our parishioners and visitors. Your grant will allow us to preserve what we have, so that people can continue to find sanctuary and visit the birthplace of San Francisco. There is no other place in San Francisco with greater historic importance to the Roman Catholic Church and to the city than Old Mission Dolores. These funds will be specifically used for Basilica and Old Mission Sound System upgrades, specifically upgrading our sound system in the Old Mission and the sound system in the Basilica. I appreciate your help. Rev. Francis M. Garbo Pastor, Mission Dolores Basilica, San Francisco, California 14
Community is the Key Retaining young peoples interest in the Church lies in small group faith encounters Robert Feduccia Robert Feduccia was the founding director of the Youth Liturgical Leadership Program at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, where he also earned a master s degree in theology. He travels nationwide giving retreats, parish missions, and training presentations for lay ecclesial ministers. He served as the general manager of Spirit & Song at OCP for nine years, and is currently the vice president of Equipping the Saints, a division of Declan Weir Productions. In the summer before his eighth grade year, my son had an overwhelming religious experience at a Catholic camp. During the final night of the camp, the eager young teens from other parts of the country were collected like seashells in a hot little chapel in the north Georgia mountains. Candles were glowing. The incense was lit. The musician led a song of tenderness and intimacy. The anticipation was palpable and they waited for the procession of the Blessed Sacrament to the altar for adoration. At the sound of the bell that began the procession, all the middle school students dropped to their knees and the songs intensified in both tempo and volume. A time of prayer that was scheduled to last a total of 30 minutes continued for an additional 75 minutes. When we arrived to pick him up from the camp, he was hoarse from singing at the top of his lungs the night before. God was real. And he was changed. For two weeks. He came back home and saw his old friends. He tried to talk about his experience to them, but there was clearly no interest as the friends were much more concerned with their Xbox tournament than hearing about my son s encounter with the transcendent and ever-living God of the Universe. Shortly after getting home, his enthusiasm waned, as did his commitments to daily prayer, learning guitar, and reading the Bible from In the beginning to Amen! Come Lord Jesus! Two weeks is what we got. Then he was back to former ways of living. Fast-forward one year. He is on another church trip. This time it is with our own parish and with other teens that he knew, not with teens from around he country. On the last night of the trip, there again was a night of Eucharistic adoration. Hot room, candles, incense, music, eager teens: everything was the same. However, there has been no two-week fade. My son renewed his commitment to Christ and things have lasted. I ve been delighted to see him serve as a reader, usher, and extra-ordinary minister of Holy Communion at Mass. He is careful about the friends he chooses at school and he is staying committed to the weekly youth Bible study at our parish. In other words, it stuck. We were recently riding in the car and I asked him what the difference was between the two summer experiences. His answer is what I am sure you are expecting. I had friends with me and I came back to a group of friends who felt the same way I did. There was a community. 16

Then the Easter penance and fasting were extended to an entire week before Easter until by the fourth century there were/ are six weeks in Lent. At the same time, because of the influx of converts, Lent became a preparation time for Baptism. The current Rite of Initiation of Adults (RCIA) in Lent, therefore, is not new, but a restoration of an ancient tradition that was lost from the Middle Ages until the Second Vatican Council. So, we have a dual focus in our liturgy preparation throughout this season: penitential and baptismal. Today s texts announce the season. The first entrance music suggestion, There s a Wideness in God s Mercy, captures the prescribed entrance antiphon of the liturgy: we are invited by a loving Lord who despises nothing you have made to become whole. Don t miss a new charming bilingual (English/Spanish refrain; Spanish verses) addition to Breaking Bread, Arrepiéntete/Repent by Jaime Cortez with its relaxed tempo and distinctively Latin feel. It is listed in the Preparation section today because it is new to the missal, and opting for a familiar opening hymn usually works better. Once learned, it certainly can be used for entrance as well. Ashes take on a new level of meaning in this era when cremation is an acceptable part of the Order of Catholic Funerals. These ashes used today are burned palm fronds from last year s Passion/Palm Sunday celebration. No Gloria during Lent; no penitential act today. Elaine Rendler-McQueeney Psalm 51: Create in Me (B.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Wisdom 11:24, 25, 27 You are merciful to all, O Lord, and despise nothing that you have made. You overlook people s sins, to bring them to repentance, and you spare them, for you are the Lord our God. FIRST READING Joel 2:12 18 (219) The Lord is slow to anger and rich in kindness. The faithful return with their whole hearts, fasting and repenting. All God s people gather together before the Lord for mercy. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 51:3 4, 5 6ab, 12 13, 14 & 17 Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 5:20 6:2 Paul implored the Corinthians to be reconciled to God right away. As Christ carried their sins upon the cross, so can they bear his holiness within them, if they turn to him. Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 33 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION See Psalm 95:8 If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. GOSPEL Matthew 6:1 6, 16 18 Jesus warned the disciples against performing religious acts only to attract the attention of others. In giving alms, praying and fasting, Christians are to conduct themselves in such a way that no one will know, except God, who sees all things. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 1:2 3 He who ponders the law of the Lord day and night will yield fruit in due season.
