The Italian Parish of Indianapolis

B envenuto! Welcome to Holy Rosary

Church! Whether you are a lifelong

parishioner, a first-time visitor to our

parish, or someone in between, we

are grateful you have joined us today.

Founded in 1909 as the Italian Parish of

Indianapolis, we continue to serve as

the parish home of people of Italian

heritage and also embrace all Catholics

in union with Rome, including those

devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass

(Extraordinary Form) and the Anglican

Usage of the Roman Rite.

In the words of our founding pastor,

Msgr. Marino Priori:

“The church is the temple of the

Lord, the gate of heaven. Come after a

week of earthly cares, after so much

toil, after so many sorrows, after so

much pain. Rest your limbs. Regenerate

your spirit at the sources of grace.

Raise your mind to God; thank Him for

the benefits received through His

creation and in daily life; ask for

strength so you can win all of life’s

struggles, and be able to possess the

fruits of redemption.”

A s the weather warms, it is important to remind

ourselves about proper dress for Mass. Too of-

ten our modern society trivializes the “little things”

as not being important. This is contrary to the

Christ’s message in the Gospel where He tells us that

those who can be trusted in little things can be

trusted in large things, and those who cannot be

trusted in little things cannot be trusted in large

things (Luke 16:10).

The way in which we dress and, in particular, the

way in which we dress for Mass is one of those

things that people often take as “little.” However, in

reality our dress is far from a little matter. It is a way

of showing respect — or lack of respect — for the

people around us and for ourselves.

On Sundays, wearing proper attire to Mass is a sign

of respect for God, the Church and all the members

of the Church. Dressing more formally and always

with attention to modesty* is an essential way in

which we remind ourselves, and others, of the impor-

tance of Sunday Mass. It is a small but significant

way in which we witness to the world the importance

and dignity of the Person we are going to see, Christ.

Here are my suggested minimum general guidelines:

Men should wear long pants without rips, tears or

holes, and a collared shirt or its equivalent.

Women should wear the female equivalent of the

above, always erring on the conservative

side. Obviously, it can be either a dress or skirt/pants

with an appropriate top.

Neither men nor women (including boys and

girls over the age of 7) should wear shorts. Thank you in advance for your respect and consid-

eration and for saving me and other priests from the

awkward experience of having to correct someone

dressed inappropriately.

Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor

The importance of proper attire at Mass

* On modesty the Catechism of the Catholic Church says:

“Purity requires modesty, an integral part of temperance. Modesty protects the intimate center of the person. It means

refusing to unveil what should remain hidden. It is ordered to chastity to whose sensitivity it bears witness. It guides how

one looks at others and behaves toward them in conformity with the dignity of persons and their solidarity. Modesty pro-

tects the mystery of persons and their love. It encourages patience and moderation in loving relationships; … Modesty is

decency. It inspires one’s choice of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve where there is evident risk of unhealthy curios-

ity. It is discreet. There is a modesty of the feelings as well as of the body. It protests, for example, against the voyeuris-

tic explorations of the human body in certain advertisements, or against the solicitations of certain media that go too far

in the exhibition of intimate things. Modesty inspires a way of life which makes it possible to resist the allurements of

fashion and the pressures of prevailing ideologies” (CCC 2521-2523).

Practically, in the United States that means the four B’s (Backs, Bottoms, Bellies and Breasts) should always be

covered.

Two camps: one for high school boys and a new one-day program for middle school boys

Bishop Bruté Days Camp will be June 25-27 at Marian University, Indianapolis. It is a retreat for young

men of high-school age open to the possibility of a priestly vocation. They will spend three days with the

students of Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary, including a day at the Old Cathedral in Vincennes, Ind.,

on the June 26 anniversary of Bishop Simon Bruté’s death.

Bishop Bruté Days Jr. on June 27 is for boys in seventh and eighth grade. It is a one-day introduction to

the seminary and focuses on general discernment.

Holy Rosary will reimburse the enrollment costs of any registered parishioner who attends the camp.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS

Feast Day: May 24

M ost Holy Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, how

sweet it is to come to your feet imploring your

perpetual help. If earthly mothers cease not to remem-

ber their children, how can you, the most loving of all

mothers forget me? Grant then to me, I implore you,

your perpetual help in all my necessities, in every sor-

row, and especially in all my temptations. I ask for your

unceasing help for all who are now suffering. Help the

weak, cure the sick, convert sinners. Grant through your

intercessions many vocations to the religious life. Ob-

tain for us, O Mary, Help of Christians, that having in-

voked you on earth we may love and eternally thank

you in heaven.

A young Church, young not

in terms of age but in the

grace of the Spirit, is inviting us

to testify to the love of Christ, a

love that inspires and directs us

to strive for the common good.

This love enables us to serve the

poor and to become protagonists

of the revolution of charity and

service, capable of resisting the

pathologies of consumerism and

superficial individualism. Brim-

ming with the love of Christ, be

living witnesses of the Gospel in

every corner of this city (cf. Chris-

tus Vivit, 174-175). Do not be afraid

of becoming the saints that this

land greatly needs. Do not be

afraid of holiness. It will take

away none of your energy, it will

take away none of your vitality

or joy. On the contrary, you and

all the sons and daughters of this

land will become what the Father

had in mind when He created

you (cf. Gaudete et Exsultate, 32). — Pope Francis
