Visitors

Welcome to historic St. Rose of Lima Catholic

Church! Built over a century ago, we all owe a debt of

gratitude to the Irish faithful who were the first to call

this church their parish. For apart from the countless

sacrifices made by that first generation of faithful to

build a suitable house of prayer and divine worship for

the greater glory of God, this beautiful church would

not exist.

Many of the beautiful stained glass windows, perhaps

the most stunning feature of the church, have been

newly restored. Rendered in the Munich Pictorial

style, they depict scenes from the life of Christ as well

as images of various angels and saints. By the end of

this year, we hope to complete this restoration project.

The careful observer will discern elements from the

Gothic, Romanesque, and Byzantine styles which

together make up the style known as Venetian Gothic.

When the church was entrusted to the care of the

priests of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in 2008,

the sanctuary was renovated and restored for the

celebration of the usus antiquior (more ancient usage)

of the Roman rite. Bishop Paprocki consecrated the

new main and side altars in 2012 and established the

church as a personal parish on New Years Day, 2014.

After both Sunday Masses, visitors are invited to meet

and greet some of our parishioners in the parish hall

and socialize over coffee and donuts. If interested in

joining the parish, simply call the office.

From the Pastor’s Desk Third Sunday of Advent The Christmas Creche

The Child in the manger and various other representations

of the story of Bethlehem have been used in the Catholic

church since the first centuries. The earliest‑known picture

is a Nativity scene of the end of the 4th century (about A.D.

380) that served as a wall decoration in the burial chamber

of a Christian family in St. Sebastian's Catacombs, in Rome.

These days, we call it the Christmas Crib. The word crib

comes from an old English word cribb (2 bs) itself derived

from the west Germanic word *kribjon (manger). When we

want to be fancy we call the Christmas crib a crèche, from

the French, a word which comes from a franquish word

*kripja (manger) and ultimately from the same west

Germanic word. So wether we use crib, crèche or manger

(another French word...), we refer to the fact mentioned in

the story of the Nativity of the Gospel according to St. Luke

that the newly born Jesus was placed in a manger.

The crib in its present form and use is credited to Saint

Francis of Assisi. He made the Christmas crib popular

through his famous celebration at Greccio, Italy, on

Christmas Eve 1223 almost 8 centuries ago, with a

Bethlehem scene including live animals. His biographer,

Thomas de Celano gave us a lively description of the event.

“It should be recorded and held in reverent memory

what Blessed Francis did near the town of Greccio, on the

feast day of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, three

years before his glorious death. In that town lived a certain

man by the name of John (Messer Giovanni Velitta). (...)

“Blessed Francis often saw this man. He now called him

about two weeks before Christmas and said to him: "If you

desire that we should celebrate this year's Christmas

together at Greccio, go quickly and prepare what I tell you;

for I want to enact the memory of the Infant who was born

at Bethlehem, and how He was deprived of all the comforts

babies enjoy; how He was bedded in the manger on

hay, between an ass and an ox. For once I want to see all

this with my own eyes." (...)

“The Saint of God arrived, found everything prepared,

saw it and rejoiced. The crib was made ready, hay was

brought, the ox and ass were led to the spot. Greccio became

a new Bethlehem. The night was made radiant like the day,

filling men and animals with joy. The crowds drew near and

rejoiced in the novelty of the celebration. Their voices

resounded from the woods, and the rocky cliff echoed the

jubilant outburst. As they sang in praise of God the whole

night rang with exultation. The Saint of God stood before

the crib, overcome with devotion and wondrous joy.”

There is no mention of an ass and an ox in the Gospel.

However, St. Francis was following an ancient tradition.

They appear as early as the fourth century in pictures of the

Nativity. The custom originated because of two passages in

the Old Testament that were applied to the birth of Christ:

the words of Isaiah (1:3), "The ox knows his owner, and the

ass his master's crib; but Israel hath not known me and my

people hath not understood"; and the verse of Habakkuk

(3:2) in an early Latin version, "In the midst of two animals

Thou shalt become known."
