My Dear Parish Family,

As we draw ever closer to the close of our liturgical year, it is a good time to take advantage of this quieter time on our calendar to reflect on what is most important to our faith. We know that the Eucharist is the source and summit of what we hold dear and believe in. I have

been approached by many of you and have enjoyed many conversations regarding not only the importance of teaching about the true presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament but also where we reserve Him in our church and in our chapel. Over the next few weeks I would like to dedicate this bulletin blurb section to a deeper reflection on the importance of the location of the tabernacle.

In her book, Fulfilled: Uncovering the Biblical Foundations of Catholicism, Sonja Corbitt, writing on the Old

Testament Tabernacle of God, discusses the precise instructions given to the Israelites regarding the design and layout of their Tabernacle. She writes:

“The strictly prescribed Tabernacle setup informed the

Israelites that they could only draw near God in the way he

offered” (Fulfilled, 240) Like the tabernacles in our own church (which have a candle

or oil lamp, signifying the eucharistic presence) the Old Testament’s Tabernacle contained an ever-burning lamp. The similarities are not a coincidence:

“Light was a metaphor, in Old Testament Judaism for

the saving presence of God. The gold piece used to make the

lampstand symbolized the unity of that priesthood, first with

God in the Old Covenant, then with Christ himself

throughout the New Covenant” (Fulfilled, 152-153). This light, always revealing the truth, is fulfilled, Corbitt

points out, in the Magisterium of the Church, which continues to offer guidance and shed light today, and through its loving instruction, offers us new ways to draw near.

Let’s take a closer look at what the Church teaches when it comes to the location and placement of the tabernacle in a church building. Some newer churches do not have a tabernacle in the main sanctuary. Some older churches have moved theirs from the sanctuary. This has led to confusion. Since most of these changes happened after the Second Vatican Council, many wonder if the council required churches to move their tabernacles. These next few weeks we will explore what the Church teaches on this matter here in our bulletin. As always I ask you to please pray for me as I will continue to pray for you.

Hope and Healing Ministry

sponsored by the Parish Nurse/Health and Wellness Ministry

*** Special Notice *** Most people are aware of the extremely high incidence of drug and alcohol abuse in the United States today, which has

resulted in a major health crisis. The number of overdoses and deaths are staggering and continue to be on the uprise.

Here at Saint Dominic’s, we the members of the Parish Nurse/Health and Wellness Ministry, together with several very

dedicated members of our parish community, have come together to develop a ministry to address these major issues.

Thanks to the love and support of our Pastor, Father Brian, we are able to now offer our new ministry, “Hope and

Healing”, whose goal it is to offer support to individuals, their family and friends who are suffering from the disease of

addiction, in a spiritual, open-minded, faith-centered community. “Hope and Healing” respects the highest ethical

standards of confidentiality, anonymity, and support with dignity and respect.

The effects of addiction go far beyond the individual addict from family and friends, to the community at large. But hope

and recovery is possible. Once addiction is understood as a chronic disease, and not a personal failing, stigma and shame

can be replaced with compassion and hope. The Hope and Healing Ministry will offer a culture of acceptance and will

provide additional informational and community resources.

We meet every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Community Room.

The next meeting of the Hope and Healing Ministry will be held

Wednesday, October 23rd at 7:00 PM in the Community Room.For more information, please call Saint Dominic Church at 732-840-1410, ext 236

Please join us so you can learn more about this ministry.
