PRINCE OF PEACE PARISH// PODCAST: frdan1966.podomatic.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/�

Dear Parishioners, �

�

In this bulletin, you will find the Bishop’s

statement on implementing certain protocols to

reduce the chances of catching the flu this time of

year.�� Just a note of clarification in terms of

receiving communion on the tongue, please note

that the Bishop is recommending this while knowing that individuals

still have the right to choose how they would like to receive

Communion.� There might have been some confusion last week about

the Bishop’s recommendation coming through as a law or

command.� I hope that you take seriously the Bishop’s request and, in

your conscience, decide which option you believe to be right for you in

how you receive Communion.�

��������������� On the topic of receiving communion, I realize that the

decision to have all four communion stations at the front of the

Church causes a hardship for those who find it very difficult to walk

up the aisle, especially at the Basilica.� I would like to address this as

many of the other parishes have by having designated places where

Communion will be brought to you by an Extraordinary Minster of

Holy Communion.� It seems that the best place for that is at the

halfway mark at Holy Cross and Holy Family.�� We could reserve these

pews for those who need Communion brought to them.� Then the

ministers would bring it to them at the conclusion of Communion and

return to the altar.� Because the Basilica has a longer aisle, we could

set aside some pews toward the back where it would be easier for

those receiving Communion.� Please feel free to speak to me about

your difficulties so that we can make appropriate accommodations for

you.�

��������������� Finally, this bulletin begins the three�part series on the

Bishop’s letter to the Pope on the state of the diocese required as part

of the Ad Limina visit.� Bishops do these visits about every five

years.� They meet with the successor of St. Peter to update him on the

different issues facing the Church in their respective dioceses.� It was

thought that many of you would find the summary to the Holy Father

interesting in that it gives a glimpse into what Church leadership

thinks is important at this time in history.� ��Peace, Fr. Daniel�

Sunday in Ordinary Time�

�

On the cusp of fame, power, or influence, would you turn it down? Today’s Gospel again features John the Bap-

tist. Controversial but popular, John has gathered quite a group of followers. He has disciples. People come from

near and far to be baptized by him. Pharisees and government leaders are drawn to his preaching. If John was

another man, a lesser man, he would have claimed his own greatness. Instead, John the Baptist is a witness to

humility.�

�

“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God … he is the one of whom I

said, “A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me.”… the reason why I came baptizing with water was

that he might be made known.’” Rather than point to himself, John points to Christ. John could have grasped at

what he had accumulated. He could have seen Jesus as a Messianic competitor. Instead, John knows who he is.

He knows his place as forerunner. Because John knows who Jesus is. “I have seen and testified that he is the Son

of God.”�

�

A life of humility, a life for others, can be challenging to live. So much of our culture is built around achievement

and individualism. We can justify it, too, in pursuit of “greater goods” and higher ideals. In the process, however,

we might miss our own participation in the kingdom of God. John, for all of his humility, was not an afterthought.

In another Gospel passage, Jesus calls him “the greatest prophet,” even the greatest of men. Why? Because he

fulfills the mission given to him by God: to announce the coming of the Messiah. We too are prophets and fore-

runners. Our witness to the Gospel is meant to point people to Jesus. Consider your own mission this week. To

whom are you called to announce the good news of the Son of God? ©LPi�

Summary of the Letter to the Pope 7.�

for the ad limina visit by Bishop Deeley.�

PART 1 of 3�

Bishop Deeley completed his ad limina visit with the Pope along with the

other bishops of New England. The ad limina visit, more fully, ad limina

apostolorum, is an obligation of bishops to visit the tombs of the Apostles,

St. Peter and St. Paul while meeting with the pope to report the state of

their dioceses. This visit happens every five years. The Bishop was

required to produce a lengthy report for Pope and the different offices in

Rome. The final page is a summary. The parish wanted to make it

available to you to keep you informed of the state of the diocese in Maine.

Below is part 1 of 3 parts.�

Most Holy Father:�

�

� It is an honor and a privilege to present to you this report on the affairs of the Church in the Diocese of

Portland in Maine. Though the report encompasses the years 2011�2018, I have been the Diocesan Bishop only

since 2014. With this letter, I wish to summarize the major events of these years and my hopes for the future.

As I send this letter, let me offer you my thanks for the guidance you have provided for us in your teaching

regarding the importance of evangelization. Of particular importance, and a rich source of inspiration to our

efforts in the diocese, have been the apostolic exhortations Evangelii Gaudium and Amoris Laetitia and the

powerful teaching provided by the Year of Mercy. �

�

1.)� One of the most important efforts in this diocese has been one that began in 2004 and has

continued over the last 15 years, the pastoral plan, Telling Anew the Story of Jesus. It was begun during the

time when Bishop Joseph Gerry, OSB was ordinary. He recognized that the number of churches and parishes

were no longer sustainable as the number of Catholics had declined in Maine. He called for a plan to meet this

challenge. He retired in 2004. Bishop Richard Malone continued this effort, giving the name to the plan in his

pastoral letter, Telling Anew the Story of Jesus. This first phase involved a total reorganization of the parishes

in order to make the existing parishes financially viable and to provide a priest for each of them. Shrinking

family size and economic hardship resulting in people moving out of Maine for employment had resulted in a

smaller number of Catholics in the diocese and the state. �

�

The decisions on parish closings and amalgamation of churches was in its final stages upon my arrival.

Structurally, the work of the plan was virtually completed. In my first few months in Maine, I spent my time

visiting each priest and discussing with them the needs of the diocese. It became evident that only the first part

of the pastoral plan had been implemented. Structurally, there were new entities created. Staff were employed

to assist the newly configured parishes in fulfilling their mission. But, underlying the life of the diocese was a

sense of incompleteness. The priests were somewhat overwhelmed by the challenge before them. They had

been without the leadership of a bishop for almost two years when I was installed. It was clear to me that a

new direction, building on the efforts already made, was needed. The part of the pastoral plan which called for

evangelization had not yet truly begun. The diocese needed a new vision of missionary discipleship. And it had

to enhance collaboration and cooperation between clergy and laity.�

�

After consultation with the Presbyteral Council and my staff, it was determined that the new vision

would come with the help of the services of the Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) which would provide: (1)

leadership formation, which would support multi�parish governance and collaborative ministry, and (2)

visionary support for clusters (that is, groups of churches and/or parishes) to re�engage the missionary

discipleship focus of Telling Anew the Story of Jesus.�

�

The first phase was a three�year process which provided tools for the priests and their staffs to deal with

their new situations. It provided leadership formation for clergy, diocesan, and parish leadership. The positive

part of this three�year training was that it afforded the opportunity for the clergy and the staff to work together

and to grow in appreciation of their mutual commitments and call to the mission of the Church. The central

�

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time � January 19, 2020� �

offices of the diocese at Chancery also engaged in this training with the same positive results. At the conclusion

of the three years, everyone involved in the work of the diocese had heard that they were called to be missionary

disciples and were given the skills to carry out the mission in appreciation of the help they could seek from those

who collaborate with them in the mission of the Church. �

�

The second phase would take five years. In this phase, the CLI staff is working with each parish to help

them develop a vision and pastoral plan. This process, extensive in its consultation and collaboration, is working

to involve the many people who make up the parish. Each parish was provided with an analytical survey

instrument, the Disciple Maker Index (DMI), which, through broad participation, helped each parish assess how

it understands its vitality now and what it needs to grow in the future. From these findings, the pastor, with a

team of people representing the whole parish, set some positive and realizable goals for the parish. In this way,

parishes can be focused on their primary mission, evangelization and sharing the Good News with those who

need to hear it again. The diocese is divided into 30 administrative clusters; therefore, CLI works with six

clusters each year. At this point, 18 clusters have gone through the process and have submitted pastoral plans for

review and acceptance by my office. Six more clusters are currently in process, and the last group will begin in

the fall. I believe that this process has engaged parishioners who otherwise had not been involved in their

parishes and is helping to move evangelization efforts forward. NEXT WEEK�PART 2 of 3.�

Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland Issues Flu

Prevention Protocols�

��

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, which covers

the entire state of Maine, is taking steps in response to

the current widespread cases of influenza by

reinstituting a number of precautions during Masses

and other celebrations.��

��

After reviewing reports from state health authorities,

Bishop Robert P. Deeley is implementing the following

directives:�

��

•� If parishioners are sick or already have any type of

cold or flu�like symptoms, they are asked to stay

home, both for their well�being and that of

others. When individuals are ill, they are not

bound by the Sunday Mass obligation.

Encouraging people who are at risk to stay away

from large church gatherings is an extra step

intended to maintain their health.�

•� The distribution of the shared consecrated wine for

the faithful is suspended, with the exception of

those who must receive from the cup due to

medical reasons (i.e., Celiac disease).�

•� The faithful will be urged, but not required, to

receive Holy Communion in the hand rather

than on the tongue. All ministers of Holy

Communion are advised to distribute the

consecrated hosts with care, being cautious not

to touch the tongue or the hand of the

communicant.�

•� All ministers of Holy Communion must sanitize their

hands before and after distributing Holy

Communion.��

•� Breaking with custom, parishioners should not shake

hands during the Sign of Peace and will be

encouraged to offer a verbal greeting, smile, or

bow of the head. Hospitality ministers should

also not shake hands, but rather offer verbal

greetings. They will be strongly encouraged to

sanitize their hands prior to and after exercising

their particular ministry as well. Parishioners

should not hold hands during the Our Father.�

•� Sponges, sometimes found in holy water fonts,

should not be used.�

•� Prayers of the Faithful will include prayers for those

stricken with the flu or other serious illness, for

those who care for the sick, and for the

community at large.�

��

These protocols will remain in effect

until further notice and are similar to

those established during other severe

flu seasons.�
