SEPTEMBER 2, 2018 ― TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME WWW.SALEMCATHOLICCOMMUNITY.ORG
You are welcome Here
We are a new parish, established in August of 2017, comprised of St. James and Immaculate Conception churches. We work together to invite all people to a deeper
relationship with Jesus through beautiful liturgies and opportunities to learn and to serve one another.

The summer has almost come to a conclusion, and we are gearing up for the fall and planning for the coming year. There are new opportunities for everyone to get involved. You might ask yourself what you are passionate about, and how might you bring that passion to the Church as a gift in service. From gardening to teach-ing, your passion might be put into some form of ministry. As I write this, we are planning on making a few changes with baptisms at our parish. In the past, when there were hundreds of babies being baptized each year, the general practice was to baptize large groups of children at ceremonies after Mass, usually on Sunday afternoons. But as the number of infant baptisms has declined, it becomes more sensible to return to baptizing during Mass. It is an extraordinary thing to see a baptism and to be able to welcome a new member into the Church. After our birthday, according to ancient tradition, our baptism day is the most important day of our lives, because it changes the arc of our lives to be ordered to Jesus Christ and eternal life. Of course, parents and godparents are the first teachers in the way of faith, but we are a community of believers. We too, by praying with and welcoming new members, communicate our faith. This month we will baptize babies at the 10:30 AM Mass at St. James two times: this weekend and on the 16th. For the most part, we will be doing this once a month at one of the Masses, but we hope it will happen regularly at our Masses. For me, one of the more profound moments at baptism Mass comes after the baptism rite and the Eucharistic prayer. At the Communion rite, we begin with the Our Father, or the Lord’s Prayer, that Jesus himself made our norm for prayer. At this moment, we pray our community prayer with our newest brother or sister. It is a sign that we are the body of the Christ – from the most vulnerable members in the arms of their parents, to the most venerable members who have been praying this prayer since childhood. I hope you will join me in welcoming Arlo this weekend and then Joey and Jamison on the September 16. Welcome to the three of you, to the Catholic community of the body of Christ, and congratulations to your parents and godparents. Another (temporary) change is that, after extended reflection, and with bold trepidation, I would like to announce that we will move the 4:00 PM Mass to St. James for the month of October only. The reasons for this are to allow plenty of parking for all those who attend Mass at that time, to help all those who fight the downtown tourist congestion to get to Mass more easily, and to use the IC parking lot for tourists as a fund-raiser. We hope that this experiment will help us with attendance and to relieve a little of the frustration many experience in getting to IC during October. We are not planning to change the location of the other weekend Masses. Peace, Father Murray Building news: Well, it has been a summer of construction and we are finally without a plumber, electrician, carpenter, or paver on the grounds, for a short while. We have been working on a lift for Immaculate for access to the basement and the bathrooms. It is a slow process as we determine what is the best course. It appears now that a one-person lift will be the way to go. We also will have the ramp at the back door at IC evened out so that there is not a lip to negotiate on the way in the door.

A MESSAGE FROM FR. MURRAY
El verano casi ha llegado a su final y nos estamos preparando para el otoño. Hemos estado ocupados con la planificación para el próximo año y hay nuevas oportunidades para que todos puedan involucrarse. Puede preguntarse qué es lo que le apasiona y cómo podría llevar eso a la iglesia como una donación en servicio. Desde la jardinería hasta la enseñanza, su pasión puede ponerse en alguna forma de ministerio. Mientras escribo esto, estamos planeando hacer algunos cambios con los bautismos en nuestra parroquia. En el pasado, cuando se bautizaban cientos de bebés cada año, la práctica general era bautizar grandes grupos de niños en las ceremonias después de la misa, generalmente los domingos por la tarde. A medida que el número de bebés bautizados disminuye, es más sensato volver a la forma anterior de hacer las cosas, es decir, durante la Misa. Es algo extraordinario ver un bautismo y poder recibir a un nuevo miembro en la iglesia. Después de nuestro día de nacimiento, según la tradición antigua, es el día más importante de nuestras vidas, porque cambia el arco de nuestras vidas para convertirnos en alguien que se ordena a Jesucristo y a la vida eterna. Por supuesto que los padres y padrinos son los primeros maestros en el camino de la fe, pero somos una comunidad de creyentes. Nosotros también, al orar y dar la bienvenida a nuevos miembros, comunicamos nuestra fe. Este mes bautizaremos bebés dos veces en la misa de St. James a las 10:30 am, este fin de semana y luego nuevamente el día 16. Normalmente lo haremos una vez al mes en una de las Misas, pero esperamos volvernos completamente regulares en esta práctica. Para mí, uno de los momentos más profundos del sacramento viene después del Bautismo y la Oración Eucarística. En el rito de la Comunión comenzamos con el Padre Nuestro, o la Oración del Señor, lo que el mismo Jesús estableció como nuestra norma para la oración. Oramos con nuestro nuevo hermano o hermana nuestra oración comunitaria. Es una señal de que somos el cuerpo del Cristo, desde los miembros más vulnerables en los brazos de sus padres hasta los miembros más venerables que han estado rezando esta oración desde la infancia. Espero que se unan a mí para darle la bienvenida a Arlo este fin de semana y luego a Joey y Jamison el día dieciséis. Bienvenidos a ustedes tres, a la comunidad católica del cuerpo de Cristo y felicitaciones a sus padres y padrinos. Otro cambio (temporal) es que, después de una prolongada reflexión y con audaz temor, me gustaría anunciar que trasladaremos la Misa de las 4:00 PM de IC a St. James solo durante el mes de octubre. Las razones para esto son proveer suficientes lugares de estacionamiento para todos los que asisten a la misa de las cuatro, ayudar a todos aquellos que luchan contra la congestión turística del centro para llegar a misa más fácilmente, y usar el área de parqueo de IC como una forma de recaudar fondos, cobrándole el estacionamiento a los turistas. Esperamos que este experimento nos ayude con la asistencia y que aliviemos un poco la frustración que muchos experimentan al llegar a misa a IC durante este mes. No cambiaremos los otros horarios de misa. Veamos cómo funciona esto este año y luego podemos pensar en el futuro. Paz, Padre Murray Noticias de construcción. Bueno, ha sido un verano de construcción y finalmente no tenemos plomero, electricista, carpintero o pavimentadora por un tiempo. Hemos estado trabajando en un ascensor para Inmaculada para acceder al sótano y los baños. Es un proceso lento ya que determinamos cuál es la mejor opción. Ahora parece que un ascensor de una persona será el camino a seguir. También debemos tener la rampa nivelada en la puerta trasera para que no haya un espacio que obstruya el camino hacia la puerta.

ARE YOU READY TO TRY ALPHA?
Alpha is great for: • Adults who are curious about Christianity
• People who were raised in a church but have drifted away over the years
• Faithful people who want a safe place to talk about their beliefs, questions, and doubts
• Parents of Middle School and High School students, wondering how to keep the faith in
turbulent times Adults from ages 18-118 are welcome! Come and see what Alpha is all about, and how it can change your life. Bring two friends! Child care available starting week 2 (Sept. 18). AN MQOA ALPHA GUEST SAYS:
“...our group had a profoundly positive experience here...the sharing, the
questions, the funny stories and the painful moments too, all make Alpha a
wonderful experience of the Church at its very best!”
COME AND SEE! “Come and See” night on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 7:00 PM
at St. James church hall. We’ll feed you (seriously, it’s worth coming just for the food) and give you a peek at
what Alpha is, what we have to offer, and a taste of what it’s like to be a part of it. No registration needed, just
come and see! No charge. No pressure.

FALL OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW
HEALING MASS ― TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 If you are in need of spiritual or physical healing, please join us for a Bilingual Mass followed by Healing Prayer on Tuesday, September 11, at 7:00 PM at Immaculate Conception church. After Mass, all are invited to come forward for healing prayer or the sacrament of anointing of the sick. All are welcome.
CCD AT MQOA? Here at Mary, Queen of the Apostles Parish, we know that the best and most effective people to lead a child to Christ are his or her family members. That’s why we’ve designed faith formation that builds up the whole household – parents, guardians, grandparents, siblings, and other special adults. Sunday Mass is at the center of all our programs for family faith formation. Check out these opportunities to learn, grow in faith and become disciples.
FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION If your child is in grade 2 or above and has already been baptized, and you seek the sacrament of Eucharist for him/her, join us at an opening gathering for parents and candidates on Sunday, September 30 at 9:30 AM in the conference room at St. James church. Preparation for this sacrament includes preparation for the sacrament of Reconciliation (first Confession) in the fall, and continues with preparation for Eucharist in the spring. We use a combination of 5-6 gatherings of children and their parents/guardians and an at-home curriculum. First Communion is scheduled for May 19, 2019. Please let us know you’re coming by emailing Margo at [email protected]
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION If you or a high school student in your family is baptized, a sophomore or older, and seeks the sacrament of confirmation, please join us for our first gathering of candidates and parents on Sunday, September 23 at 5:00 PM in the chapel at Immaculate Conception church. Preparation for this sacrament consists of a combination of 5-6 gatherings of candidates and their parents/guardians/sponsors and an online curriculum. Confirmation Mass is scheduled for June 8, 2019. Please let us know you’re coming: email Margo at [email protected]
WONDROUS STORIES Wondrous Stories, our Children’s Liturgy of the Word, is offered as ongoing faith formation (in the place of CCD) for children up to 6th grade. Offered during our 10:30 AM family-friendly Mass at St. James church, kids gather in the parish hall (while their parents enjoy the readings and homilies at Mass), to learn about the Gospel and our Church. Kids love it, parents love it. Watch for more information and our start date here in the bulletin!
But wait… there’s more! Watch for more opportunities for adult learning, like Alpha (see p. 4)
