Diocesan Mission Statement

Diocese of Fairbanks Newsletter“Ministering” is a publication of the Catholic Diocese of Fairbanks which serves northern and western Alaska. Its purpose is to provide a regular opportunity for all ministries throughout the Diocese to share information so that our tremendous diversity may enrich our common mission of service to the people of our Diocese. If you have questions or suggestions for articles, please contact David Schienle at the Chancery at (907) 374-9500 or library@cbna.org.

What is Ministering Update?For many years, the Diocese of Fairbanks has published the diocesan newsletter Ministering on a monthly basis. That is changing. The expanded size of the newsletter, along with the addition of more photos and graphics, requires additional production time. For that reason, we have shifted our publication schedule. We will be publishing Ministering Update, which is a smaller update to diocesan news between publication of the full version newsletter.

Message from Bishop Chad W. Zielinski

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we move into Advent, I want to share a few highlights from a busy month. On Tuesday, November 8, many families in the United States. were glued to the television waiting for election results. At the same time, a number of Catholics from across the state gathered in Anchorage for Solemn Evening Prayer, in preparation for the Installation of Archbishop Paul Etienne. The following day, Archbishop Christoph Pierre, read the Papal Bull whereby Pope Francis officially assigned Bishop Etienne as the new Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Anchorage. The Installation Mass was a glorious celebration as it was scheduled to be on the Feast Day of St. John Lateran, the proper Church of the Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis. Amidst the fervor of interest of the outcome of Election Day, November 8, the Catholic Church moves forward with her call to be “missionary disciples”, and this was publicly celebrated in the mission territory of Alaska. Sunday, November 13, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops met in Baltimore, MD, for their annual gathering. I think many in the media were looking for the bishops to make public statements regarding the election outcome. The Committee on Migration did make a public statement by Bishop Eusebio Elizondo regarding the USCCB’s concern regarding immigration in the United States. This statement reflects Catholic teaching regarding the care and concern for immigrants in the United States and other places in the world. As the Year of Mercy was coming to a close, Pope Francis reminded us that this past year should have heightened our awareness and concern for the corporal works of mercy as we reach out to the entire human family in need. Indeed, during the conference, continued attention was drawn to the Christian genocide in the Middle East and other areas of the world. Through the USCCB and Knights of Columbus, great efforts have been made to bring assistance to some of the severely war torn areas of Syria and Iraq. The Eastern Rite Catholic bishops urged us to continue our Sunday prayer petition for the end of the persecution of Christians in the Middle East which is a direct request from Pope Francis. Among the many items of interest and concern to the bishops, one seemed to resurface most often: our young people, ages 18-30. It seems that once they leave home they cease practicing their faith. Significantly more of our young adult’s mark “none” when asked about their religious preference on surveys or when registering for school or the military. It is a situation reflected cross-culturally in other professional surveys. So, this is truly in the hearts and minds of the bishops, and our Holy Father. His documents, “The Joy of the Gospel” and the more recent, “The Joy of Love,” articulate the beauty of the family as instituted by God. The documents also reflect on recent societal challenges that weaken the fabric of the family, including the loss of a sense of the holy and a drop in Mass attendance. Pope Francis identifies the joy of the Gospel and Christ’s love as the key to keeping a family holy, healthy and happy. More regionally, I and many other

~ 4 ~

bishops at the USCCB are interested in drawing on the prayerful reflections of our parishioners. Thus, I ask you to pray about and discuss within your parishes how we can tighten the fabric of the family and inflame in our young people a greater love of God and our faith. I thank you in advance for any insights you can provide. I will be sending out a separate seasonal reflection, but in parting, I wish you a blessed Advent and Christmas. Yours Sincerely in Christ,

†Most Reverend Chad W. ZielinskiCatholic Bishop of Northern Alaska

One positive that came out of the roll-out of the third edition of the Roman Missal in English back in 2011 is that it initiated a long conversation about “best practices” when it comes to celebrating the Mass or any other liturgy. Although there is still much work to be done in this area, the results of that conversation have been largely positive. In the not-so-distant past, what was regarded as good liturgy planning often consisted of creatively inventing new elements for the Mass or other liturgy, often at the expense of the primary elements of word, unified gesture, bread and wine, etc. In the years since 2011, in my experience, it seems that much more emphasis is placed on doing what the rite calls for as well as they can be done, rather than reinterpreting and misinterpreting the signs which are a permanent and essential part of the Mass. I am hoping and praying that the series of workshops organized by this FDLC and presented to communities all over the country will result in a similar ongoing conversation on the Order

of Celebrating Matrimony (OCM). It’s no secret to anyone here that planning weddings presents its own set of challenges when it comes to balancing the varied options the Church envisions with the expectations of the couples, who are often getting their inspiration not from learned books on celebrating Matrimony, but on the latest fashions and fads presented on TV, in movies, and on YouTube. One of the treasures of the new OCM is the greatly expanded Introduction. This Introduction contains not only instructions for the proper execution of the rites, but even more importantly, you will find there are some extensive new language on the theology and nature of marriage, together with the roles of clergy, family, and even parish communities in preparing couples for marriage. I submit that if everyone were to read and understand those first 27 paragraphs of the Introduction to the OCM, there would be vastly fewer requests for the latest Hallmark wedding product, or for the playing of a CD with the couple’s favorite love song during the ceremony. If we

clergy were teaching those first 27 paragraphs as part of our ongoing homiletic catechesis, and the primary symbols and signs of the OCM – the holding of hands, the rings on the fingers, the words of consent exchanged, not to mention the Eucharist itself when Mass is celebrated – there would be far less desire for the extraneous or the superficial. My hope is that this, like any new text, is received as an invitation to re-examine the way we “always do weddings,” even though some of the new elements – like perhaps the acclamation dialogue after the Reception of Consent, or the greater encouragement to include singing and participation by the assembly – serve as an invitation to “give it a try” rather than write it off as something we’ve never done before. In these challenging times, when the number of couples seeking Matrimony within the Church has dropped precipitously, we can no longer say the old ways we are used to work just fine. Perhaps we can try something new and revolutionary: being more attentive to what the Church is actually asking us to do

The 2016 National Meeting of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions took place in Albany, New York on October 5-7, 2016. Delegates from eighty-five U.S. dioceses considered the theme Open Wide the Gates of Justice: Praise God Within Them. The relationship between the Church’s liturgy and its impetus to promote social justice was considered, assisted by major presentations from El Paso Bishop Mark J. Seitz, Dr. Diana Hayes, and Rev. Mark Francis, CSV. The Msgr. Frederick R. McManus Award for 2016 was presented to Rev. Jan Michael Joncas.

Bishop Seitz also provided the delegates with a presentation on the Committee on Divine Worship’s latest activities. His thoughtful reflection, delivered after the presentation of news and events, is reproduced here for the benefit of our readers:

in weddings. As we all know, preparing for good, effective wedding liturgies that respect the principal elements the Church is asking us to emphasize, and which do not get swept away in a tsunami of fads, conspicuous consumption, and superficiality can be challenging, especially in view of how often we are called to work with couples who have little contact with our parishes and with liturgies otherwise. Sometimes we have to be patient; sometimes we have to make pastoral judgments that stretch the rules a little; of course we are always called to be appropriately creative. Without an appropriate adaptation to culture and place a liturgy is sterile and foreign. Culture is a language, a source of identity and self-understanding as well as communication, which has its special vernacular. Everyone in this room, in some way or another, is involved in the planning and execution of liturgies. Do you ever feel, as I do, that we are engaged in some kind of difficult balancing act between two extremes? Here are the two extremes I am taking about:• Executing a liturgy in a very

casual and free-spirited manner, where the General Instructions and rubrics, if heeded at all, are relegated to a kind of “ideal” status that was never really meant to be followed;

or there’s the other extreme —• Planning and executing a

liturgy which is strictly, almost obsessively, by the book. Everything is “correct” in the literal sense, but the resulting liturgy can be overburdened with rubrical details, almost robotic, at the expense of helping the assembly to realize that they are

participants in the divine liturgy, not just spectators of some grand liturgical machine.

We err when we think these are the only choices we have. The Church has gone to great pains to ensure that the People of God who gather for Mass or any other liturgy experience the liturgy that the Church had in mind, not a wild creation of the planners or the celebrants. I would suggest that a better word for what happens in advance of a liturgical celebration is not “planning,” but rather “preparation,” since the liturgy is not something that is “created” as much as it is something that is enacted. At the same time, the Church clearly recognizes that the assembly is not sanctified by contact with liturgy, but is sanctified and transformed by full entrance into the liturgy. One of the most ignored or overused instructions in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) is paragraph 24: “[T]he Priest will remember that he is the servant of the Sacred Liturgy and that he himself is not permitted, on his own initiative, to add, to remove, or to change anything in the celebration of the Mass.” (This statement was actually taken from the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, no. 22, so it has a significant pedigree!) Taken by itself, this important instruction might seem to favor the second extreme I mentioned a moment ago, where a liturgy is to be done precisely and meticulously, but often without heart or appropriate adaptation to time and place. However, anyone who takes a few moments to look carefully and without some preconceived prejudice at the

Roman Missal will quickly realize that not all Masses were ever meant to look and sound alike any more than those who celebrate do. Variety and adaptation are built in. It is really no exaggeration to speculate that a priest could live through his entire priestly ministry without having celebrated the Mass exactly the same twice. Such variety and even creativity is quite possible without “adding, removing, or changing” anything in the Mass. It would take way too much time to expound on every feature of the Mass which can be varied according to occasion and circumstance, but let’s just review a few of them so that we are all on the same page.

LanguageBack in the late 1960s when the first vernacular Missals were being published and used, Pope Paul VI famously said that the scores of vernacular languages would now become “the voice of the Church,” a voice which had for centuries before been assumed to speak Latin only. While Latin retains pride of place in our Roman Catholic tradition, attention to the languages spoken and understood by the faithful of any given community must be given careful consideration.

MusicThis is perhaps the most noticeable area where great flexibility and creativity can be applied, or even expected. Although each of us probably has his or her “favorite” style of church music, the Church, while continuing to uphold Gregorian chant as having “pride of place,” nonetheless has taken great pains to instruct us that a wide

~ 7 ~

variety is admissible, as long as it is appropriate and reflective of Church teaching and theology. Perhaps as in no other aspect of liturgy does culture and even language play such a deciding role. The GIRM itself speaks of four options for the entrance procession (no. 48): 1) the proper antiphon chanted or intoned using text either from the Missal or from the Graduale Romanum; 2) the antiphon and Psalm from another liturgical resource called the Graduale Simplex; 3) a “chant” from any other approved collection of antiphons and Psalms; and 4) any other approved chant (meaning anything sung: song, hymn) that is suited to the day, the season, and the sacred action. Quality and appropriateness of the text, the music and its performance by the music ministers still call for our careful reflection, but we still have an enormous area of creativity and variety gifted to us without altering or taking liberties with the liturgy.

Progressive SolemnityThis is the well-known but often ignored principle that a Mass on a Tuesday morning in Ordinary Time at 7:00 AM is not celebrated with the same pomp and solemnity as the Easter Vigil or Pentecost. While we would never want to reduce any liturgy to merely the bare minimum required, the days on which we have more, and the days on which we keep things simpler, should reflect the importance of the day and the event. Instead of succumbing to a bland base-line for nearly all our liturgical celebrations, we should more consciously and creatively apply the principle of progressive solemnity to say something about the importance of the day. There is an appropriate ebb and flow to our

liturgical cycle.

Options within the Order of MassDuring the recent FDLC workshops introducing the Order of Celebrating Matrimony, many commented on certain “new features” of the Rite. Some were indeed new, but others that may have seemed new, like the inclusion of an “entrance song” at weddings, has been there all along, perhaps unnoticed or ignored. Speaking again of liturgies in general, those of us who preside and assist at liturgies should be instructed, yes, but we should also be willing to carve out time to review the available legitimate options from time to time, and perhaps even use some that we haven’t before. Again, there would be too many to list comprehensively, but some of the options in the Ordo Missæ are as follows:• Several options for the greeting

at Mass.• Numerous options for the

Penitential Act, including the Confiteor as well as the numerous invocations which are options for the Penitential Act: “Lord Jesus, you came to gather the nations into the peace of God’s kingdom: Lord have mercy.” And many more. There is also the perfectly good option which we almost never use: “Have mercy on us, O Lord. / For we have sinned against you. Show us, O Lord, your mercy. / And grant us your salvation.”

• Brief monitions at appropriate points and moments of silence.

• The Liturgy of the Word – On some days of the year, especially during Ordinary Time, a presider can celebrate with a wide variety of Mass prayers and take advantage of many options

for the readings, too. Do we succumb to the temptation to go with whatever is printed in the missalette, even though we may have numerous other options?

• The Universal Prayer (Prayer of the Faithful) – Although the Missal includes some sample sets of intercessions, by its very nature, the Universal Prayer should reflect the needs of the community and events in the world around it. We can stand to be a lot more creative and sensitive with these intercessions. How unfortunate it is for a community to be invited day after day and week after week to pray pre-published generic prayers provided by publishers, and written months if not years before. This is one feature where creativity is not just permitted, it is expected.

• Preparation of the Gifts – The liturgy itself admits many options to how and by whom the bread and wine for use in the Mass is conveyed to the altar. The ones who are asked to bring the gifts to the priest or deacon should vary and be representative of the entire parish or diocesan community. Financial offerings should be included and we need to find ways to include those who now give via bank drafts and other means. The sign of the gifts coming from the assembly to the altar is so important in my opinion that it should never be omitted.

• Eucharistic Prayers – On most weekday and Sunday Masses, except for a few major solemnities and feasts, there are options for the Preface texts to be used. Presently for the dioceses in the United States, there are no fewer than 13 Eucharistic

~ 8 ~

Prayers approved for use, including the “main” ones (IIV), two for Reconciliation, four for Various Needs and Occasions, and three for Masses with children. Despite this variety and this wealth of powerful euchological language, we too easily fall into the trap of praying Eucharistic Prayer III on Sundays and Eucharistic Prayer II on weekdays without additional thought or reflection. Equally troubling are those who have decided on their own authority that only Eucharistic Prayer I may be used. To be clear, by eliminating the other 12 approved options, the priest has taken it upon himself to “remove” something from the celebration of Mass, contrary to paragraph 24 in the GIRM. The opposite extreme should also raise concern: those presiders who never employ the first Eucharistic Prayer.

• Creativity can and should be legitimately applied here, too: using the Eucharistic Prayers for Reconciliation during Lent is a no-brainer; the Eucharistic Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions are all too easily overlooked. And let us not overlook the various formulae provided for the dismissal and

blessing at the end of the Mass.• On special commemorations

like Palm Sunday, the Missal itself provides several options for the blessing and procession of palms. Some days, like on the Commemoration of All Souls, the celebrant has three sets of Mass prayers and numerous readings to choose from. Perhaps we could all stand to give a little more thought and discernment as to which of these options best serves our communities in light of, for example, recent tragedies or death, rather than simply going to our favorite ones every year.

I have focused on areas of creativity within the Mass. If time permitted we could include examine every liturgy (sacraments, Liturgy of the Hours, funerals, etc.) in search of legitimate options the Church in her wisdom has provided us with, but which often we neglect or ignore. I hope my reflection here, inspired by some of the new and not-so-new options in the Order of Celebrating Matrimony, has helped illustrate that, when it comes to the Church’s liturgies, one size and shape was never intended to fit all. Indeed, the liturgical books present us with a kind of ritual canvas upon which we can (and should!)

paint a slightly different but always appropriate liturgical picture each time, in the light of the needs of our communities. I don’t think I am overstating anything to say that the systematic omission of legitimate options, whether through laziness or because of personal preference, impoverishes the liturgy and keeps it from becoming fully what it was meant to be. In the not-too-distant past, good liturgy preparation was thought to be a moment when clever things were added to the liturgy to make it “interesting” and “meaningful.” Unfortunately, such liturgical freestyling often said more about the persons planning and presiding at the liturgy than it did about the Risen Lord being worshipped and praised within the Body of Christ, the Church. I would recommend that the question should be changed from “What can we add or change?” to “How can we celebrate the liturgy in its fullness here and now within the Church?” As we have seen, the choices are almost infinite. And in our creativity we really don’t need to invent a thing!

Thank you to everyone for their assistance in helping to make our parishes and schools a much safer place. Not only for our children but

also for our elderly. Blessings for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please continue to keep up your good work as we strive to

follow the example of our Lord and Savior.

Rev. Robert Fath

NCCYM/FFC ConferenceNovember 30-December 4, I had the opportunity to attend the bi-annual National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministers Convention being held in San Jose, CA, in conjunction with the Northern California Faith Formation Conference. Over three days, close to a hundred workshops and three keynote addresses were presented to several thousand participants from all over the United States. The talks focused on building up families, providing continuing education for youth ministers and catechists and

strengthening the commitment of youth and young adults to Christ and His Church. Keynotes were offered by the Most Rev. Frank Caggiano of the Diocese of Bridgeport, Dr. Kara Powell of Fuller Theological Institute and Mr. Chris Stefanick. Each offered their perspectives on transmitting the challenges and opportunities faced by the young Church, connecting with members of the Church across generational lines and sharing the “love story” that is our faith in Jesus Christ.

Their witnesses were powerful and inspiring for everyone in attendance. DVDs of the keynote addresses and audio files of all the workshop talks given over the three-day conference will be available through the Office of Faith and Family Formation some time in mid-January. A list of all the presenters and talks given can be accessed at http://www.nccym.info/program/breakouts.htm.

Congratulations to Mr. Fredrick Granheim- Installation to AcolyteOn Saturday, November 26, during the Vigil Mass for the First Sunday of Advent, seminarian Fredrick Granheim was installed in the ministry of acolyte by Bishop Zielinski. Acolytes are called to service at the altar with the Deacon and Priest, dedicating themselves to the service of the sacrament. The ministry of acolyte, as well as lector, are two important steps on the path towards ordination to the priesthood. The suggested homily for the installation of a new acolyte, in part, says: Dear sons in Christ, as people chosen for the ministry of acolyte, you will have a special role in the Church’s ministry. The summit and source of the Church’s life is the Eucharist, which builds up

the Christian community and makes it grow. It is your responsibility to assist priests and deacons in carrying out their ministry, and as special ministers to give holy communion to the faithful at the liturgy and to the sick. Because you are specially called to this ministry, you should strive to live more fully by the Lord’s sacrifice and to be molded more perfectly in its likeness. You should seek to understand the deep spiritual meaning of what you do, so that you may offer yourselves daily to God as spiritual sacrifice acceptable to him through Jesus Christ. In performing your ministry bear in mind that, as you share the one bread with your brothers and sisters, so you form one body

with them. Show a sincere love for Christ’s Mystical Body, God’s holy people, and especially for the weak and the sick. Be obedient to the commandment which the Lord gave to his apostles at the Last Supper: “Love one another as I also have loved you.” While lay people can be called to either of these ministries, they are integral in the path to the priesthood – through these ministries seminarians are further formed to be ministers of the Lord and serve His people. Continue to pray for Fredrick and our other seminarians as they continue to consider their call to ordained ministry.
