THE SUNDAY MORNING “CLASSES” at St. Ann that Father Michael started holding several weeks ago, are still ongoing. We will soon begin a study of the Mass. Fr. Sweeney has topic ideas for each week but there is no set agenda, so if you come with questions, the answers might be that week’s agenda! There is no assigned homework and no tests! Informal and very informative. Those who have attended, even cradle Catholics, have learned a lot and now have a much deeper understanding of, and greater appreciation for, our Catholic faith and customs. Feel free to join us and see what you think. Starts at 7:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Holy Family Room. No pre-registration required!
*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism"(A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)* Last week's question along with the answer:
Question #157: What is the sanctuary lamp?
Answer:The sanctuary lamp stands near the tabernacle and burns perpetually as long as the Blessed Sacrament is in the tabernacle. (On Good Friday, when the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the tabernacle, the Sanctuary lamp is taken as well.) The lamp may burn either oil or wax. The globe may be either white or red. More than simply an indicator of the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, the flame also reminds us of the eternal light of Christ shining in a darkened world.
Question #158: Why are there seeming contradictions in the gospel accounts?
(The answer will appear in next week’s bulletin along with a new question)
