Ever-living
God and Father of us all, you give to your Church the Priesthood of
your Son, Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, you provide holy
priests for a holy people.
We pray for all our priests, who announce the Word of God and
celebrate the Sacraments, for those who are young and those who are
old, for those who serve in difficult and trying circumstances, for
those who are faltering and those who have died.
We entrust all our priests to the Scared Heart of Jesus and to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary that they may persevere with fidelity to you
and to your Church.
With Saint John Vianney, patron of priests, we pray that our priests
may never fail to lead us to you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

LITURGICAL ETIQUETTE
Added 01-12-2010
External gestures
of reverence can become a witness to the truths of our faith. For
this reason, we wish to remind our guests and parishioners from time
to time of habits or practices which are not appropriate.
-
The rule of
fasting from solid food for an hour before one receives the
Eucharist still holds and thus makes the chewing of gum in church
completely disrespectful and inappropriate.
-
Although
the Church
does not require everyone to be dressed in their “Easter finest”
every week for Mass, please remember that the way we dress for
church is, oftentimes, a sign of how important the celebration of
the Eucharist is to us. Overly revealing clothing or bare
midriffs are never appropriate.
-
Churches are
meant to be sacred space, places where all can pray and worship.
While a cordial greeting is never out of place, carrying on an
audible and protracted conversation is never appropriate.
-
External gestures
of reverence can become a witness to the truths of our faith. The
bow immediately before receiving Holy Communion should be done with
the conscious recognition that it is the Lord Himself before Whom we
bow. He is truly present in the Eucharist, in both the host and the
cup. The extension of the hands must acknowledge our acceptance of
a gift, not a grabbing for something owed us. The hands are
completely empty, extended in the gesture of acceptance. The Lord
would not be just another item among keys or other personal items.
-
Our spoken and
sung responses at Mass are always meant to be done communally, with
whatever abilities were bestowed on us by our Father. What is
believed and held in our hearts ought to be expressed outwardly
during the Mass in word and in music.
-
Finally, out of
respect and reverence for the presence of Christ in the Eucharist,
arriving at Mass on time and remaining until the priest has recessed
down the aisle is appropriate behavior. Leaving Mass early and
disturbing the flow of communion in order to exit is never
appropriate. Please place cell phones in the silent mode and please
remain in church till the end of Mass to e blessed and commissioned
to go forth in Christ’s name.

St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church owes its beginnings
(1912) to the Italian immigrants who helped build the parish.
Now we approach our centennial, we welcome all ethnic backgrounds and
especially all new immigrants who need a church family.
