Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

Please note a few issues to bring to your attention with this first

bulletin for Holy Family Parish:

1. The formal Decree for our new Holy Family Parish is on pages

13 & 14 in this bulletin. It was also sent as a Flocknote to all those

online, but I wanted all parishioners to have this historical

document. You can cut out the page and keep as a memory of

being the first parishioners of Holy Family Parish.

2. The bulletin front cover has our transitional logo on it with the

old hand with fingers identifying each Church instead of separate

parishes with the new Holy family Parish name on the hand. We will

use this transitional logo for a few weeks and then switch to our new

logo which is available on gear available at our first Holy Family

Parish HOPE Festival.

3. This bulletin contains information and order forms for what you

might be interested in at our Festival this week, Wednesday through

Saturday, July 8-11. See pages 10 & 11.

4. The separate parish sections are now gone. Everything in the

bulletin is now offered to everyone in the new parish. Each

parishioner has 5 church buildings, rectories, schools and

properties in which parish events and meetings are held.

5. The potential exposure of COVID-19 last week concluded in a

negative test result. Therefore there has bee NO exposure of the

virus in our parish at this time. Page 7 shows the latest Press

Release last Sunday from the Diocese. Our Safety Team is

working on an action plan for various possible COVID19 exposures

we might encounter in the coming months and will share that in the

bulletin as soon as it is finalized.

I had the nicest surprise recently. A few weeks ago, a parishioner

couple dropped off a gift. It was a small statue of the Holy Family,

Joseph standing behind the Blessed Mother holding her son Jesus.

The note attached said they were thankful that I was appointed the

new pastor of their new Holy Family Parish. They said they hoped I

appreciated the statue as much as they appreciated getting it. It sits

on a shelf in my office now. But in addition to gratitude, I started to

think that it would be nice to get a similar small statue for each of

our five churches, to connect us all to the new patrons of our Holy

Family Parish. I was sharing this good news and idea to some of

our money counters who were in the office to count that day. One of

those parish couples contacted me later and said they wanted to

donate to get those Holy Family statues too for each church. So

they’ve all been donated too! I then went online and picked five

separate statues of the Holy Family specifically for each church,

ordered them and had them shipped. They are shown on this page

and will be in each church on display this weekend as well. Later

that night, the first couple who gave me the first statue was one of

our early bird raffle winners, drawn out of thousands of already

received Grand Raffle tickets!

I know parts of the last two years of transition have not been

easy. And perhaps not all of us feel like we belong to one parish

family yet, but it’s so heartwarming to hear of different folks enjoying

the new identity that we have become. It was beautiful to see so

many pastoral council name suggestions and even more

encouraging to me when parishioners from one former parish

suggested folks from a different former parish. We’ve been in

pandemic mode for a few months, but before some of that started,

at some parish meetings, I would see folks from different parish

churches socializing with one another in the parking lot or at

different events. These are all the seeds of becoming more fully one

parish family.

St. Paul says to the Romans in this weekend’s second reading,

“If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in

you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your

mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.” (Romans

8:11) Parish life is not about all the things we do, or the buildings

and things in them. Parish life is about relationships. First and

foremost, it’s about our relationship with God, and how we can be

uplifted in sharing that faith and relationship through one another.

It’s about helping one another to become better disciples of Jesus,

and what we do in helping others to become disciples of Jesus too.

My new responsibility, with my new title of Pastor, is the “care of

souls.” While that’s every priest’s responsibility, it’s explicitly the

pastor of a parish’s responsibility to share with the other priests

assigned. Sometimes overlooked is that the care of souls in a

parish, is not just the care of registered Catholic persons, but all

souls living in the parish. Father Dalton and Father DeWitt have

both been fine pastors of different parishes. Now together, we have

the care of souls, along with three deacons who serve too. Our goal

is to do our best in attending to the spiritual needs and providing the

sacraments to everyone in our parish. I hope one day when our

lives in this world are all ended, to see that all the souls of this

parish are now saints in heaven. This accomplishment would not be

because of any great work of mine or the other clergy, but because

we helped each other to understand the Spirit of the one who raised

Jesus from the dead dwells in each of us.

In Christ’s love,

Father Kevin

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE 14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READING I ZEC 9:9-10

Thus says the LORD: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout

for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you;

a just savior is he, meek, and riding on an ass, on a colt, the foal

of an ass. He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the

horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and

he shall proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion shall be

from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14

R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

I will extol you, O my God and King,

and I will bless your name forever and ever.

Every day will I bless you,

and I will praise your name forever and ever.

R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and of great kindness.

The LORD is good to all

and compassionate toward all his works.

R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is faithful in all his words

and holy in all his works.

The LORD lifts up all who are falling

and raises up all who are bowed down.

R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

READING 2 ROM 8:9, 11-13

Brothers and sisters:

You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit,

if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have

the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one

who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who

raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies

also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers

and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to

the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if

by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

R. Alleluia, alleluia. CF. MT 11:25

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;

you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL MT 11:25-30

At that time Jesus exclaimed:

“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for

although you have hidden these things from the wise and the

learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such

has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to

me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and

no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom

the Son wishes to reveal him.”

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give

you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am

meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Historia de la adoración eucarística:

Primera parte

Centralidad de la Eucaristía

Desde el principio del cristianismo, a la luz de la fe, se entien-

de la Eucaristía como la fuente, el centro y el culmen de toda la

vida de la Iglesia: como el memorial de la pasión y de la resurrec-

ción de Cristo Salvador, como el sacrificio de la Nueva Alianza,

como la cena que anticipa y prepara el banquete celestial, como

el signo y la causa de la unidad de la Iglesia, como la actualiza-

ción perenne del Misterio pascual, como el Pan de vida eterna y

el Cáliz de salvación. Normalmente, la Misa al principio se cele-

bra sólo el domingo, pero ya en los siglos III y IV se generaliza la

Misa diaria.

La devoción antigua a la Eucaristía lleva en ciertos tiempos y

lugares a celebrarla en un solo día varias veces. San León III

(+816) celebra con frecuencia siete y aún nueve en un mismo

día. Varios Concilios moderan y prohiben estas prácticas excesi-

vas. Alejandro II (+1073) prescribe una Misa diaria: «muy feliz ha

de considerarse el que pueda celebrar dignamente una sola Mi-

sa» cada día.

Reserva de la Eucaristía

En los siglos primeros la conservación de las especies eucarísti-

cas se hace normalmente en forma privada, y tiene por fin la

comunión de los enfermos, presos y ausentes. Las persecucio-

nes y la falta de templos hacían impensable un culto más formal

de adoración eucarística. Al cesar las persecuciones, la reserva

de la Eucaristía va tomando formas externas cada vez más so-

lemnes.

Las Constituciones apostólicas –hacia el 380– disponen ya que,

después de distribuir la comunión, las especies sean llevadas a

un sacrarium. El sínodo de Verdún, del siglo VI, manda guardar

la Eucaristía «en un lugar eminente y honesto, y si los recursos

lo permiten, debe tener una lámpara permanentemente encendi-

da». Las píxides de la antigüedad eran cajitas preciosas para

guardar el pan eucarístico. León IV (+855) dispone que

«solamente se pongan en el altar las reliquias, los cuatro evan-

gelios y la píxide con el Cuerpo del Señor para el viático de los

enfermos».

Estos signos expresan la veneración cristiana antigua al cuerpo

eucarístico del Salvador y su fe en la presencia real del Señor en

la Eucaristía. Sin embargo, la reserva eucarística tiene entonces

como fin exclusivo la comunión de enfermos y ausentes; pero no

todavía el culto a la Presencia real.

In reviewing some of the five former parish histories for our final

parish feast days, I found some good material. I suspect there is

more out there. I would like for a small team of Holy Family

Parishioners to help form a History Committee. The goal would be

to collect any photos, newspaper articles and other memorabilia

and keep a record of these things as a history for our future

parishioners. Gary Rogers is a parishioner and also a member of

the Oakmont Historical Society and has offered to help. He and I

are looking for others who might have some experience with

historical records or simply want to help with the documentation of

materials. If you know of someone or are interested, please call or

email the parish office. We’d like to start collecting

some of the former parish and school memorabilia

as we begin to form a new parish together. At

some point, we might put together a booklet and

small library of our past.

Thanks for your consideration,

Father Kevin

Principal’s Letter

Dear Parish Family,

I would like to thank you for your prayers and patience in this time of change.

Not only do we have to change our way of living, we are in the process of a

new beginning for our school families. As you may be aware, we have

merged two of our schools in the Parish family. We will begin the new school

year as Holy Family Catholic School. Students and families from St. John the

Baptist and St. Joseph schools will become one in a learning environment

that will teach and strengthen students in knowledge, faith, and love. The

students are excited and looking forward to this new change. This merger will

fill the classrooms allowing the school to become vibrant and even more

financially stable than we have in the past. Our classrooms will be filled with

faculty members that are well trained and certified in the areas of what grade

or subject that will be taught. I am asking everyone to continue praying for us

as we move forward with the merger of our schools. As your Principal, I will

be responsible for making this change a positive experience for everyone

involved.

If you’ve considered Catholic schooling before and might want to, especially

now, during this crisis, please contact me at principal@opvcatholic.org or call

412-793-4580. With God’s help and guidance, we will get through this

together and provide the excellent Catholic education we are capable of

providing. Be Good, Behave, Be Safe, God Bless,

Mr. Beau Quattrone, Principal - Holy Family Catholic School
