Our Vision and Mission Statement guides our pastoral planning
Established in 1922, the parish
family of St. John the Baptist Church
welcomes and invites all people to our
community, especially those in need.
Guided by the Holy Spirit we are
sustained by the Sunday Eucharist,
the Word of God, and the
Sacraments. All are encouraged to
share their time, talent and treasure
as we grow in love through our Catho-
lic faith and the life, death and resur-
rection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Understanding the Mass
45. Hands at “Our Father”
At Mass in some parishes, people hold hands while
they pray the Lord’s Prayer and raise them while
proclaiming “for the kingdom.” The General Instruction
of the Roman Missal is silent on this point, so there is no
official universal legislation on the custom. Decisions
about this gesture are made locally.
The origins of this custom are not clear. There is little
evidence for it prior to Vatican II. It may have developed during the 1960s when we
struggled to overcome racism and strengthen unity.
The Lord’s Prayer seemed an appropriate time to join hands because it is one of
the few texts prayed aloud by everyone at Mass in the first person plural. The eucharistic
prayer is in the first person plural, but the priest recites it alone. “Lord, I am not worthy”
is prayed by everyone, but in the first person singular.
The Lord’s Prayer, though, goes to God from “us”—not “My Father, give me my
daily bread and forgive me my trespasses.” Jesus taught us to pray as a community, not
as individuals.
The priest extends his hands for the Lord’s Prayer (GIRM 152), as he does for
other prayers at Mass. At a concelebrated Mass, the other priests do the same (237).
But there is no instruction for the people.
Not everyone joins hands for the Lord’s Prayer. Some people make no gesture.
Others fold their hands. The posture with the most historical, liturgical and theological
value is the one the priest takes: standing up with hands extended. In the early church,
this was how all Christians prayed. To pray with hands aloft does not join hands, but it
does join hearts with generations of Christians past.

Please consider “automated giving” as you reflect on support of
our parish family! The fruitful ministries at our parish are examples of how
many of you have answered, and continue to answer, that
call. To ensure such work can continue requires not only
gifts of time, but also of financial help. I ask you to
prayerfully consider supporting our parish with electronic
donations through Faith Direct. You can find paper
enrollment forms in the parish office, or you can sign up
online at www.faithdirect.net by using our church code, NY67.
