The Italian Parish of Indianapolis

B envenuto! Welcome to Holy Rosary

Church! Whether you are a lifelong

parishioner, a first-time visitor to our

parish, or someone in between, we

are grateful you have joined us today.

Founded in 1909 as the Italian Parish of

Indianapolis, we continue to serve as

the parish home of people of Italian

heritage and also embrace all Catholics

in union with Rome, including those

devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass

(Extraordinary Form) and the Anglican

Usage of the Roman Rite.

In the words of our founding pastor,

Msgr. Marino Priori:

“The church is the temple of the

Lord, the gate of heaven. Come after a

week of earthly cares, after so much

toil, after so many sorrows, after so

much pain. Rest your limbs. Regenerate

your spirit at the sources of grace.

Raise your mind to God; thank Him for

the benefits received through His

creation and in daily life; ask for

strength so you can win all of life’s

struggles, and be able to possess the

fruits of redemption.”

We will take up a second collection this weekend

for the Propagation of the Faith.

Join us for the Parish Breakfast today (Sunday) in

Priori Hall from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. All you can eat for

only $6 per person with a maximum $30 per family.

October is the Month of the Holy Rosary. The

Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary encourages

the public recitation of the rosary at every daily Mass

for the sanctification of the Church and world peace.

We invite you to grow in holiness by joining a

group of parishioners on Sunday, Nov. 4, as they be-

gin preparing for Marian consecration: 33 Days to

Morning Glory. The group will meet from 1 p.m. to

2 p.m. in our first-floor classroom. For six weeks,

they will read about and reflect on four great Marian

giants: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe,

St. Teresa of Calcutta and St. John Paul II. Those

saints will teach the secrets to drawing closer to the

Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary. Meetings

also will include a 30-minute video by Fr. Michael

Gaitley, MIC. For more information, contact Lori

Brown at 317-753-8434.

The Gabriel Project of Holy Rosary Parish is

looking to train another “Angel” to help with moms

in need. This commitment requires about one mom

per year for a few months. It is rewarding to help

save a child in danger of abortion. For more informa-

tion, contact Paula Stahl at paulas2944@yahoo.com.

NOVEMBER: MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULS “From the beginning the Church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for

them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.”

— Catechism of the Catholic Church

Be sure to assist your deceased loved ones by including them in our annual All Souls Remem-

brance. Write their names on one of the envelopes available at the St. Joseph Altar — an offering

is optional. We will place these envelopes on our high altar throughout the month of November. Purgatory, Gustav Dore

Second of a two-part article

T he world of contraception is nothing more than

a shallow, satanic fantasy in which the selfish

pursuit of pleasure or the abuse of the procreative

faculty results in the destruction of marriage and

families. This destruction of the basic building

blocks of society leads to the destruction of society at

large. Yet, ironically, the common refrain people tell

themselves is, “Everything is better now.”

Everything is not better now. But, it could be. The

reality of human marital love and the procreative

purpose of conjugal relations is beautifully outlined

in Humanae Vitae, the papal encyclical published by

Pope St. Paul VI in 1968. If you are married, whether

you are Catholic or not, you should read this brief,

easy-to-understand encyclical.

Children are a beautiful gift from God. They are

always good. ALWAYS GOOD! More children are

more good. To paraphrase Mother Teresa, flowers

are always beautiful.

That does not mean that children are not a burden.

They are a burden. They will cause you to suffer. To

ignore this is foolish. The question is, are they lov-

able. Can you love them? The answer is, of course,

yes. Now, look to the crucifix. Remind yourself and

the world about the truth that the Cross is the full

revelation of human love.

Love is what Satan hates. Love is what he attacks.

Children are the incarnation of marital love. What

Satan “loves” is when he can convince people to en-

gage in sex, relationships, etc., and exclude love. His

favorite lie is that you can have Love without the

Cross. (If you do not think that lack of children can

undermine marital love, speak to a couple who have

struggled with infertility about the strains that par-

ticular cross puts on marriage.)

To heal our society we need good, holy families.

We need children raised up in good, holy families.

We need lots of them. How can you make everything

better? Support families in developing virtue, and

support families when they have children. Children

are a cross. Many children are many little crosses.

Offer to help families that have been open to life.

Married couples with young children dream of an

evening (or maybe even two) each week with adult

conversation. Facilitate that. Get to know those cou-

ples. Offer to babysit and mean it. Free, good, trust-

worthy babysitters are worth double or triple their

weight in gold to those couples.

When parents are struggling to juggle many kids at

Church, offer to sit in the pew and help. Or just offer

to sit in the pew to block an escape route. Give them

a gift card to a nice restaurant for a date night. En-

courage them with positive words. Give them help-

ful, non-judgmental tips for disciplining kids. Be pa-

tient when their kids misbehave. Offer to come over

to their houses and clean or fold laundry. Pray for

them. Being open to children (especially many chil-

dren) in our society today is punished with some of

the nastiest and cruelest societal judgment, so stand

up for them and pray for them. And be hopeful; the

children are our future.

If you are married and of child-bearing age, be

open to having children — and then more children.

Be prudent, for sure, but remember to fight the pres-

sure of societal “norms.” Those are not God’s norms.

Work hard at growing in personal virtue and at being

virtuous parents. Uncorrected bad behavior in chil-

dren is always scandalous. Being an imperfect parent

is not being a bad parent. Being an imperfect parent

is not being a bad parent. Being an imperfect parent

is not being a bad parent. However, failing to disci-

pline your children and hold them accountable for

their bad behavior is being a bad parent, and creates

scandal to other couples and the world.

If you are struggling with disciplining your children,

ask for help. No one is born a perfect parent. Parent-

ing is a learned behavior. Study, make mistakes, learn

from those mistakes, ask for help, and then study

some more. If you do this, you will become a better

parent with each passing day, week, month, year. Continued on page 6

40 Days for Life

The 40 Days for Life fall campaign is still going strong. Pictured above, the Frecker Family (right to left: Lisa, Nick, Nikki, baby Marie, Joy) joined us last Saturday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. to pray outside the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic at 86th Street and Georgetown Road — this went above and beyond the usual 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. slot covered by Holy Rosary parishioners.

A baby shower on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 p.m. will mark the end of the fall campaign; it will be held at St. Luke Catholic Church, 7575 Holliday Dr. E. Please bring a baby item for the Gabriel Project Re-source Centers at Little Flower and St. Joseph parishes.

Parish prayer group to study

apparitions of Our Lady of America

I n the middle of the 20th century, the Blessed Vir-

gin Mary — calling herself, “Our Lady of Amer-

ica, Immaculate Virgin” — appeared in private reve-

lations to Sr. Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil) of the

Precious Blood Sisters. These revelations, many of

which occurred in a convent chapel near Rome City,

Indiana, also included apparitions of Our Lord, St.

Joseph, St. Gabriel and St. Michael.

Our Lady asked Sr. Mary Ephrem to draw a picture

according to the vision, and that a statue of Our

Lady of America be constructed accordingly. She

further requested that this statue be carried into the

Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate

Conception in Washington, D.C., in solemn proces-

sion by the bishops and then remain there. Our Lady

said that if this is done, the United States will turn

back toward morality and the Basilica will become a

great place of pilgrimage.

All are invited to learn more about Our Lady of

America and the messages to Sr. Mary Ephrem at

the Our Lady of Guadalupe Prayer Group meeting

on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 6:30 p.m. in our first-

floor classroom. The evening will begin with recita-

tion of the rosary. Study materials will be available.

For more information about the meeting, contact Ka-

tie Willen at 317-432-9174.

To put it into perspective, think

about what’s involved in making

anything. For example, have you

ever built a box out of wood?

Imagine you were given a stack

of wood, a hammer and some

glue, and then were told to make

a box. What would it look like?

If you wanted it to be better and

stronger, what would you need to

do? You might need to talk to a

carpenter. You might want to

find a carpenter who not only

made boxes, but made them

strong and attractive. You might

need to obtain some screws or

nails. You might need to find or

borrow a drill, saw or screw-

driver. You might want to learn

about things like dovetail joints.

Kids, of course, are more com-

plicated than simple wooden

boxes. You are going to need

some help learning how to be a

good parent, and how to obtain

the resources necessary to be a

good parent. You are going to

need some practice. You will get

better over time.

Finally, remember that your

children are not about you. You

should not have children because

you want them, but because they

are good. They are a good unto

themselves and, when well

raised, a good for society as a

whole. So, read Humanae Vitae.

Be open to children. Consider the

good of children in themselves

and be generous.
