  • The King Has Called Us to Himself and to Mission

    This series is intended to give us opportunities each week to allow Jesus to be Lord of our life – of our everyday lives and in all aspects of life as we know it. But that doesn’t happen by accident. The weekly activities can help us in drawing closer to Jesus. But they aren’t a substitute for consciously choosing to surrender our life into the hands of Jesus – who literally loved us into and holds us in existence every second of every day.

    This week, the question is, “Have I surrendered my life into Jesus’  hands?” Don’t rush past the question. In 1980, Country singer Johnny Lee wrote a timeless song titled, “Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places.” And how true that is for too many of us in the culture we have lived in all our lives. The culture tells us to look everywhere but to the very One who made us, who knows and loves us better than we know and love ourselves; and to look for love everywhere else but in God. And too many of us spend large chunks of our lives looking for love in all the wrong places – fame, wealth, power, prestige, possessions, etc. Or we simply allow the busyness of life to get between us and Jesus.

    This week, we want to step back and remember whose we are, and who loves us even more than we love ourselves. Then we want to (re-)surrender into God’s will for our lives so that He becomes the center of our lives and around which, every other aspect of life is positioned. 

    We are going to use the Surrender Novena as our way of placing ourselves totally in the hands of Jesus, so that we begin to depend on and trust in Him for everything – full stop. Yes, a Novena takes nine days to complete so it will take you into next week. Keeping in the spirit of this series, the Surrender Novena, takes less than 5 minutes each day to pray, though you may want to take a few more minutes to let the prayers sink in and take them to heart. 

    Watch Deacon Tim's short Trailer for this week's activity and then read the activity for yourself. Then get ready this next week to surrender your heart to Jesus once again (or perhaps for the first time).

    Next week, we will look at the call we each have from Jesus to bring His light and presence to those we encounter in our every day lives.  That is what we are to be about as Jesus' disciples.  You can get a sneak peek at that activity here:

  • Diocesan Mask Mandate for Parishes Lifted as of March 3, 2022


     

    March 3, 2022

    Bishop Stowe Ends the Mask Requirement for Mass and other Liturgical Celebrations. 

    With the latest directives regarding masking from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the CDC, it is now appropriate to allow for optional masking and site-based decision making about when it might be necessary to require masks because of local conditions. The Bishop continues to urge all Catholics to be mindful of our immuno-compromised members, who are encouraged to remain masked and who remain dispensed from the obligation to attend mass if necessary. 

    Pastors and Parish Life Directors are encouraged to create zones for those who will remain masked and prefer social distancing in their churches wherever it is possible to do so. We again encourage all eligible individuals to be vaccinated and boosted for their own well-being and in service of the common good. Please see https://cdlex.org/diocese-of-lexington-epidemic-response/ for the complete guidance related to the Mass and other Liturgical Celebrations). 

    In addition, the use of masks will be optional for those at gatherings and meetings that take place on parish grounds (see https://cdlex.org/diocese-of-lexington-epidemic-response/ for the complete guidance related to gatherings and meetings). 

    This relaxation of restrictions does not indicate the end of the pandemic. We will continue to be attentive to all developments of the virus and its spread and will act accordingly. Let us continue to pray for those who have lost lives, lost loved ones, and for our health care workers who have sacrificed so much for our well-being. May God grant us health and healing.


    Fr. John Moriarty, in consultation with the Parish Staff, has approved the following changes that follow from the lifting of the diocesan masking mandate:

    • For the time being, the one section with every other row roped off on the Guadalupe side of the Cathedral, will remain a safe space for those who still desire to maintain social distancing.
    • If you choose to sit this section, please continue to wear a mask out of respect for those who want to maintain this extra degree of safety from possible exposure.
    • All other sections of the Cathedral will be mask optional.
    • All ministers of Holy Communion will still wear their masks while distributing Holy Communion.
    • These changes are effective immediately.

    Other changes will likely follow in the coming weeks.  Stay tuned for details as we can work them out.
