What Does The Catholic Church Do With All Those Candles?
Written By
Brenton Cordeiro
Good question, right? Why does the Church use so many candles?
The answer lies within the tradition and history of the Church. The use of candles is a part of the rich heritage of the Catholic faith. Sure, candles probably served some practical purpose in liturgies and rites before electricity became commonplace. But the use of candles has a far deeper scriptural and theological meaning.
Christ, Our Light!
The use of lights and lamps is seen in the Old Testament as an important part of Jewish worship in the Temple in Jerusalem. In fact, the seven-lamp menorah, first used in the moveable sanctuary Moses built while the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness, and then later an integral part of worship in the Temple, is today one of the most recognizable symbols of Judaism.
Should A 5th Marian Dogma Be Added?
Written By
Will Wright
A Fifth Marian Dogma?
The Virgin Mary is the Mother of God, preserved immaculate from the moment of her conception, and assumed into Heaven to reign as Queen at the end of the course of her earthly life. What more could be said of the Blessed Virgin Mary? Actually, there are two interconnected doctrines of the Church which have yet to be defined with the precision of the four Marian dogmas.
A possible fifth Marian dogma could include three titles of Mary: Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces, and Advocate with Jesus Christ on behalf of the human race.

Our 10:30 Mass can be streamed at anytime in the McCabe Room. Please be sure to contact the office ahead of time so the equipment can be set up.
An elevator and nearby rest room make this an option for those who wish to attend Mass but have difficulty getting into the church.
Rather than miss Mass because of active little ones, parents may wish to bring their youngsters to the Resource Room where they can share in the service with them without the constraints of a pew. There is room to move around and a library of children's bible stories for them to enjoy.
All are welcome. Please suggest this to family and friends who may be looking for an opportunity, even temporarily, to attend Mass at Holy Family.
