Holy Family Parishioners:

This weekend Holy Family Parish will be holding a free

concert open to all parishioners on Sunday, October

18

th

at 3:00pm at SJB. We’re very excited to be able to

offer this performance since so much of the music

ministry has been on hold since March. It will be

wonderful when we’re allowed to assemble our choirs

together again, but for now, we wanted to organize a

musical event for the parish that is within the

parameters of current restrictions.

The concert will consist of a variety of performers and

musical styles. Andrija Andelic, one of the music

directors for our grouping, will play two piano

selections, one by Rachmaninoff, a romantic period

composer, and the other by Vasilije Mokranjac, a 20

th

century Serbian composer. Andrija will also accompany

Rhian Kenny, a flutist from the Pittsburgh Symphony

Orchestra. Together, they will perform two flute-piano

duets.

The Holy Family Handbell Choir is a bell choir that

originated at St. John the Baptist in 2007. I took over

the direction of the bell choir in 2008 when I became

the music director for St. John. However,

since the merging of our five churches, one

of my goals has been to blend the bell choir

with ringers from our other churches to truly

make the choir a grouping-wide ensemble. I

would love to hear from anyone that may be interested

in joining us! If you don’t know much about a handbell

choir come and check us out at the concert or watch

the livestream video. You’ll hear many different

handbell ringing techniques throughout both pieces that

show off the range and capability of sound for the

instrument.

Angelo Ragghianti, a Verona native, has been a cantor

at St. John and St. Joseph since he was eleven and

has since graduated from Carnegie Mellon University

with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Vocal Performance

degree. Angelo will be singing Ave Maria and another

selection that is a fusion of opera and musical theatre.

I’ll accompany Angelo’s pieces, as well as play a

couple of solo organ selections. The first piece is a

Prelude and Fugue by J. S. Bach and the other is a

French organ work by Henri Mulet, which should shake

the rafters!

We’ve all been working very hard to prepare for this

concert and I hope those attending and watching really

enjoy the performance! If you can’t make it to the

concert, you can always go back and watch the

livestream video at a later time!

God Bless,

Amanda

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE 29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

READING I IS 45:1, 4-6

Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I

grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his

service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates

unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen

one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though

you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is

no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not,

so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may

know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no

other.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 296:1, 3, 4-5, 7-8, 9-10

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands.

Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his

wondrous deeds.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.

For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; awesome is he,

beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of

nought, but the LORD made the heavens.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.

Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory

and praise; give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts,

and enter his courts.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.

Worship the LORD, in holy attire; tremble before him, all the

earth; say among the nations: The LORD is king, he governs the

peoples with equity.

R. Give the Lord glory and honor.

READING 2 1 THES 1:1-5B

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians

in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and

peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering

you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith

and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,

before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved

by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to

you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and

with much conviction.

R. Alleluia, alleluia. PHIL 2:15D, 16A

Shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL MT 22:15-21

The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus

in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians,

saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that

you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you

are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a

person's status. Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to

pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice,

Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me

the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the

Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose

inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them,

"Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what

belongs to God."

BREVE HISTORIA DEL ROSARIO: LA DEVOCIÓN

POR EXCELENCIA (tercera parte)

A raíz de la victoria cristiana en la Batalla de Lepanto (7 de octubre de

1571), el Papa S. Pío V, que había pedido a la cristiandad el rezo del

Rosario por este motivo, institucionaliza para toda la Iglesia la festivi-

dad del Rosario, en acción de gracias por esta victoria, de modo que

la fiesta era conocida indistintamente como la Virgen del Rosario o la

Virgen de la Victoria hasta que, en 1573, el Papa Gregorio

XV estableció como nombre definitivo de la festividad el de Virgen del

Rosario.

De Pío V a León XIII: Desde que el Papa Pío V recomienda a todo el

mundo el rezo del Santo Rosario, recordando que con esta oración se

han obtenido grandes triunfos y el don de la paz y que esta devoción

ha demostrado tener gran eficacia para detener las herejías y conse-

guir conversiones, y que toda persona fervorosa lo debe rezar fre-

cuentemente, la costumbre de rezar el Rosario se vuelve popularísi-

ma en todas las naciones.

Al menos diez Papas lo siguen recomendando, y muchísimos santos

lo difunden por todas partes. Uno de los Papas que más destacó en

su devoción por el Rosario fue León XIII (1878-1903), quien en doce

encíclicas y en otros veintidós documentos pontificios recomienda a

los fieles el rezo del Rosario. Es llamado el “Papa del Rosario”. El fue

quien consagró el mes de octubre al rezo del Rosario.

Siglos XIX y XX: En Lourdes (Francia), en 1858, la Virgen María se

aparecería en dieciocho ocasiones ante Santa Bernardette Soubi-

rous,llamándola al rezo y a la difusión del Rosario. En las apariciones

de Fátima (Portugal), en 1917, la Virgen volvería a aparecerse con el

Rosario en sus manos y se presentaría como la Virgen del Rosario. A

los tres niños, testigos de estos hechos, los ya Bea-

tos Jacinto y Francisca, y la monja Carmelita descalza Sor Lucía,

fallecida en el mes de febrero de 2006, les recomendó el rezo y su

divulgación a favor de la salvación del mundo.

Unos de los Apóstoles más destacados de la promoción del rezo del

rosario en el corazón del siglo XX fue el norteamericano Padre Pa-

trick Peyton, quien afirmaba que “la familia que reza unida el rosario

permanece unida”. Realizó numerosas campañas de difusión del

Rosario y editó unas películas sobre los misterios del Rosario, que se

emitieron en el mundo entero.

“El rosario es mi oración preferida”: Ha entrado ya en los anales

de las páginas de la historia del Rosario el Papa Juan Pablo II (1978-

2005). Poco después de su elección pontificia, el 16 de octubre de

1978, en el corazón del mes de rosario, el Papa Wojtyla afirmó que “el

rosario es mi oración preferida”. Y son numerosas las imágenes y los

testimonios de Juan Pablo II rezando el Rosario.

Lighting Upgrades – Our Parish Maintenance staff

have been working on upgrading some of our

churches, halls, offices and parking lots to LED lighting.

LED lighting is brighter, more long lasting and

extremely economical. We received most of the new

lights for free from Duquesne Light this summer. The

most recent change was made at St. Joseph Church to

lights that were originally meant to light up the stained

glass windows from inside at night. The new lights

make a dark space come alive with lights. Check it out

the next time you are in Verona after dark.
