RING THOSE BELLS!! As most of you are aware our bells stopped working last winter and they simply

cannot be fixed as we can no longer get parts for this 30+ year old model. We MISS the bells and we looked into new bells they range from

$10 650. To $13 805 US money. If you miss the bells as much as we do please talk to Mark Hudec about your

desire to replace these bells. We are looking into ways to come up with the funds to hear the bells again

There will be a mass server workshop at St. Mary’s FV on Thursday Sept 26 for all new and old mass servers

THINKING AND LIVING CATHOLIC

THE FATHERS OF THE CHURCH?

Many Christians frequently refer to the “Fathers

of the Church” or the “Church Fathers.” Who are

they? Not to be confused with the “Desert

Fathers,” the “Church Fathers” are a group of

foundational members of the early Christian

Church.

According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, “The

word Father is used in the New Testament to mean a teacher of spiritual things, by whose

means the soul of man is born again into the likeness of Christ.” Initially this term was used

to denote those spiritual “fathers” who nurtured the faith of the early Church and who

maintained what the Apostles taught.

Over time this term became more focused and the Church defined specific people who

qualified as “Fathers” and whose teaching greatly influenced the growth of Christianity.

This includes bishops from both the Western and Eastern churches. The following Fathers

are recognized as the “Great Church Fathers” or the original “Doctors of the Church.”

Ambrose (340–397), Jerome (347–420), Augustine (354–430) and Pope Saint Gregory the

Great (540–604) Basil the Great (329–379), Athanasius (296–373), Gregory of Nazianzus

(329–389) and John Chrysostom (347–407). Besides these traditional eight Fathers, there

are many other influential spiritual figures of the early Church.

WHO QUALIFIES TO BE A CHURCH FATHER?

There are specific requirements that qualify an individual as a “Church Father.” The

Church demands four major characteristics to be exhibited in the life and works of an early

Church leader if he is to be considered a Father of the Church. These are antiquity,

meaning that he lived before the eighth century (the death of St. John Damascene [cir. A.D.

750] is generally regarded as the close of the age of the Fathers); doctrinal orthodoxy;

personal sanctity; and approval by the Church.
