You may have heard that the Parish is beginning a 'Church Renovation Project. Actually this process started
10 years ago with a detailed analysis oI our campus. At that time, you may remember, our Buildings and
Grounds committee analyzed all oI the buildings and systems on our campus. We made a list oI 'HAVE
TO`s and 'WANT TO`s. We also determined what needed to be done to 'button up the buildings Ior
energy savings and protection Irom the elements. All oI those projects were completed within the Iirst couple
oI years. The committee also generated a list oI things that would need to be done over the course oI the next
10 years. A Iew oI those have been accomplished. However, the majority oI items have not, and it was
determined by the Finance Oversight Council (FOC), Iormerly the Administration Committee, that a
complete renovation project would be more Ieasible Ior several reasons:
xSeveral oI the projects are interconnected and would cost more to be completed as standalone projects
xCompletion oI some projects would require redoing completed projects, iI done separately
xOne capital campaign would work better than several little ones

You may remember that last year we enlisted the services oI Freytag and Associates to review our work, add
suggestions, develop a timeline, and present estimates Ior the project. That study has been completed and John
Freytag has presented the FOC with a very detailed packet oI inIormation.

Over the next 2 months we will be assembling a renovation committee, reviewing the inIormation Irom
Freytag and Associates, and eventually presenting the project to the parish. II you have an interest in serving
on the renovation committee, please contact me, or Joan D`Antoni.

There will be several opportunities Ior parishioner input and discussion as we proceed. This is an exciting
time as we prepare Ior the 175
th
anniversary oI our parish and the 150
th
birthday oI our church building!

Notes trom the |ott

Our musical prayer will experience some changes this year with the advent oI the 3
rd
Edition oI
the Roman Missal. We will Iirst tackle the congregational chant settings: Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and
Agnus Die Irom the missal. The good news is that we already know how to sing the Agnus Die.
Because oI the Gregorian style, with its non-metered pulse, I believe that the beauty oI it is Iully
experienced in the original languages. Because the translations are easily understood, we will sing the
Kyrie in Greek, the Sanctus and Agnus Dei in Latin. We will chant the Gloria (in English) Irom the
Christmas season until Lent.

The General Instructions oI the 3
rd
Edition call Ior the singing oI Antiphons during the Mass.
These antiphons are: The Entrance Antiphon with Psalm verses, The OIIertory Antiphon, The
Communion Antiphon or Psalm 34. Currently we sing an opening hymn, a hymn at the Presentation
oI the GiIts and a communion hymn during these liturgical processions. AIter examining the musical
settings Ior these antiphons, I have selected a collection oI Entrance Antiphons Ior our use. The texts
oI the entrance antiphons Iollow the lectionary cycle and the psalm texts are set to Iamiliar hymn
tunes. For example, Psalm 105 is sung to the tune oI Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.
The collection is titled, Introit Hymns for the Church Year. We will begin singing Irom that book on
the Ieast oI the Baptism oI the Lord in January. One nice Ieature oI this book is that the music is
written in SATB Iorm. II anyone in the congregation is an alto, tenor or bass, they can sing the hymn
in their natural vocal range.

We will continue to sing a hymn during the Presentation oI the GiIts. On special occasions the
choir may sing a piece or perhaps an instrumental piece may be played. The Communion Antiphon
begins when the celebrant receives communion. We will continue to sing a hymn, or sometimes a
psalm, at this time. In other words, the communion music will begin beIore the congregational
procession starts. Even though the mass is oIIicially over with the dismissal rite (Iinal blessing and
response), we will continue our local custom oI singing a recessional hymn.

Mass settings can be heard on our parish website.

Choir membership is open to anyone who can remotely carry a tune in a bucket. We are
working on a new English mass setting Ior the Easter season, Christmas music and selections Ior
conIirmation. As soon as I Iigure out the computer program, we will have pew cards Ior our custom-
made English Mass setting. Rehearsals are held in the Church on Wednesday evenings Irom 7-9 PM.
Usually we Iinish slightly early. II you would like to sing with us during the 11 AM Mass, please join
us Ior Sunday rehearsal at 10 AM. Students (grade 2 and up) are welcome to sing with us in the loIt.

II you have any questions about any oI the musical changes, Ieel Iree to chat with me at any
time. II you would like to join our little group oI singers, please call me at 773-2678. We would love
to KHDU Irom you!

Who do we help? Recently a grandmother came in who had to take responsibility Ior her three grandchildren ages
9, 11, and 18 months. The Iather was not in the picture and the mother had gotten into drugs. The lady was living
on less than $600 a month and $200 in Iood stamps. She was not receiving any support Ior the children. She had
received a disconnect notice Ior her water. The bill was $65. II it were disconnected it would cost her $50 to
have it reconnected. Our normal assistance Ior a utility bill is $40 to $50. We require the client to come up with
any balance. OIten they are able to do that with help either Irom Iamily, Iriends or some other organization.
Depending on the situation we may require a client to come back to the oIIice the next time it is open to show they
have paid the balance. In this case we paid $40 toward the bill as she indicated she could obtain the $25 balance.
We did not require her to return to the oIIice since she needed no more hassle in her liIe and we believed that she
would obtain the balance. She needed assistance with clothing Ior herselI and the children. We reIerred her to the
ThriIt Shop which provides clothing Iree to our clients and the Children`s Clothing Bank which provides Iree
clothing Ior children.
St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank you Ior your continued support. In a typical month, we serve 140 Iamilies,
spending $3500.00 on necessities such as Iood, utilities, rent, medicine, gasoline and clothing. We serve not only
the poor oI our community but struggling parishioners. St. Vincent de Paul keeps the inIormation private.
Parishioners can call Kathy SenII at 772-4896, which is also listed on the Iront oI the bulletin under Social
Concerns.
A team Irom the Diocesan St. Vincent de Paul and St. Michael`s in Worthington conduced an excellent joint
training along with St. Peter`s conIerence. With 3 other conIerences in attendance, we were able to share ideas.
Envelopes in the back oI the church can be used Ior Christmas, memorials, birthdays, or any other special occasion.

This year, to shake things up a bit and make Ior a more interesting Christmas program, Bishop
Flaget is planning a 'Traditions oI the Season Dinner Program Ior December 13th.
This year, our evening will begin with a traditional holiday meal served by our junior high students
at 6PM. At 7PM, we will clear the meal away and begin our program where all students will perIorm with
their classes. PerIormances will include traditional songs oI the Advent and Christmas season as well as an
educational portion about common traditions and their origins.
In addition, students are learning about proper manners in music and library. Students are learning
the proper way to set a table, to behave at a Iormal meal, and other great manners that sometimes get
overlooked. We are doing this as a part oI our yearlong theme, 'Preach the Gospel without ceasing, and
when necessary, use words. We want our students to realize that it is in our actions that we show Christ`s
love, not just by our words.
In order to properly plan Ior the meal, we will be selling tickets ahead oI time. Tickets will be $6
and can be purchased Irom the school oIIice.
It is not required to purchase the meal to see the program. Families who do not wish to eat may
come at 7PM and we will have the bleachers available Ior seating. However, iI you are able, it will be a
great meal and a great chance Ior the Iamily dinner atmosphere prior to the show. Once the show starts, we
will ask that all audience members remain seated until the program is over.
