Page 3 THE PASTOR S PAGE My dear people of St. Mary s, When I arrived at the parish, one of the things that struck me most about our church was the beautifully decorated ceiling: the intricate stencil work; the many symbols of the Blessed Mother; and most especially the portraits of the Apostles. I can tell you that those who did the church renovation a number of years ago told me that the portraits are actually canvas paintings that have been affixed to the ceiling and the walls. We do not know how old those paintings are, or if they go all the way back to the 1870 s, since we do not have any historic photographs of the ceiling. However, parishioners who remember the church from the 1940 s confirm that they were there then. In my time here, occasionally parishioners or visitors have asked me to identify them. And this is where a problem arises. In art, saints are generally depicted with certain specific symbols that help the viewer to identify them. For example, at Caesarea Philippi after St. Peter asserts that Jesus is the Messiah, Our Lord says to him: 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. [Mt 16:18-19] Because of this, St. Peter is almost universally depicted holding a great set of keys, as he is in his image in our church. Tradition says that his brother, St. Andrew, was crucified on an X-shaped cross, so that is his symbol. St. John, so the tradition says, was meant to be martyred by drinking a poisoned chalice (he survived), so the chalice becomes a symbol of his. These symbols are also seen in the images of saints who were not Apostles. Think of the times you have seen statues or pictures of St. Francis surrounded by animals, or St. Anthony holding the Christ Child. But our ceiling poses a bit of a problem because some of the iconography is a bit obscure. Some of the Apostles are depicted with things other than their most traditional symbols. So, it was always a bit of a puzzle, using the process of elimination, to solve: Well, if that is St. James the Less, than that would have to be St. Philip; but if that is not St. James, then You get the idea. I even have an old folder of Fr. Dreasen s containing black and white images of the paintings along with his speculations and a number of question marks. Then there is also the fact that we are missing an Apostle! Of course, in church art Judas Iscariot is seldom depicted with the others, unless it is in images of the Last Supper. Judas replacement, as we heard recently at Mass, was St. Matthias. However, in our church, the twelfth place is given over to St. Paul. He is not one of the twelve (or thirteen) Apostles, but he is considered an Apostle because he was chosen by the risen Jesus and was called to fulfill the special mission of converting the Gentile peoples. That is why he is on the wall opposite St. Peter, since the two of them have unique roles in establishing the Church throughout the ancient world, and are considered to be co-founders of the Church in Rome. Therefore, because of the importance of St. Paul, poor St. Matthias never made it onto our ceiling. Recently, I asked one of our parishioners, Paul Petronella, a professional photographer, to take a series of high-quality photographs of the images. I am very grateful to Paul for his generosity, and you can see the results at right. Many of you may never have really seen these images, especially those in the rear of the Church or those in the choir loft. At last, I believe I can now finally put the controversy to rest as to who is who. In the future, I plan on writing a series in the bulletin on the Twelve Apostles, and what we know of them (or think we do) apart from Sacred Scripture. Fr. McCartney
