AUGUST 2023 at SACRED HEART

An action-packed month!
August 4 is not only our First Friday Sacred Heart Community Mass, but the Memorial of St. John Vianney, declared patron saint of parish priests upon his canonization by Pope Pius XI.
August 6 is not the Eighteenth Sunday of the Year, but the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, one of the few feasts on fixed dates which, if it falls on a Sunday, takes precendence over the regularly-numbered Sunday.
August 15 is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation.
Finally, August 26 at 5 PM is our annual Italian Heritage Mass in which we honor SS. Pietro Martire e Domenico Abate, patrons of Fornelli, Italy, birthplace of much of our parish ancestry.  A dinner dance immediately follows.  Check bulletin for details.

Without further ado...

THE NEXT SIX WEEKS - "Ordinary?" Time

Sounds so... ordinary... doesn't it?  Which is part of the reason I still use the phrase "of the year" instead of "in/of Ordinary Time." Those days that don't fall in a named season anymore.  At one time they did fall in named seasons.  In the liturgical calendar before the 1969 major tinkering thereof, today would have been Holy Family, which now falls during the Christmas Octave.  The Sundays to follow would have been "Sundays after Epiphany", thus giving Epiphany a season, that is, until the last three Sundays before Ash Wednesday, which would have been Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima, respectively (roughly 70, 60, and 50 days, affectionately known as "Pre-Lent"), followed by Ash Wednesday, which begins Lent, which is, in Latin, Quadragesima (40 days).  Those Sundays marked as "Ordinary Time" during the summer and fall months were once known as "Sundays after Pentecost", thus that entire stretch was known as the "Season after Pentecost".

The other reason I still use the phrase "of the year", for example, "Second Sunday of the Year," is that "of the year" is almost the literal translation from which the Latin Missal uses even to this day: "per annum."  The only difference is the preposition "per," which is "through".  For the few years of the 1969 Missal, "of the Year" was used in many of the English language liturgical books.  In fact, Fr. Samuel Weber, OSB, the Benedictine priest from the famed St. Meinrad Archabbey in Indiana whose responsorial Psalms are often sung here, in many of his settings used the phrase "Nth Sunday through the Year" in the headings, literally faithful to the (even present) Latin from which our English Mass is translated.

That said:
