TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Sometimes when bishops are consecrated, they are not given the care of a diocese as an “ordinary.” A very old tradition, however, assures that they are invested with a “see,” a link

with a local church. Many hundreds of places around the world were dioceses at one time, but are no longer. In England, for example, some of the his-toric dioceses such as London, Salisbury, and Man-chester ceased to be Catholic at the Reformation and their cathedrals passed to the Church of Eng-land. The reestablishment of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century meant that new dioceses had to be created, such as at Liverpool and Westminster. Similarly, in Scandinavia the ancient Catholic dio-ceses vanished under Lutheranism. In North Africa, tiny dioceses disappeared under the sands or were swept away by Islam. In the United States, some original dioceses never really developed as popula-tion centers, such as the old dioceses of Bardstown, Vincennes, Sault Ste. Marie, or Walla Walla. The tradition of “titular sees” assures that the ancient churches are always held in prayer, as the bishop celebrates Mass in its memory a few times a year.

The Missionary Cooperative Appeal . . . is an annual program in which missionaries from around the world speak at each parish. The goal of this appeal is to in-crease awareness of missionary work and to raise funds to help missionary organizations continue their evangelization efforts. In the Diocese of Sacramento, 48 different missions were select-ed this year to speak at two parishes. Next weekend, our parish will be visited by Fr. Joseph with the Diocese of Kurnool. He will share with us their courageous evangelization efforts on behalf of the Catholic Church and give us an opportunity to support their work in the field. A second collection will be taken up following his presentation. Special envelopes will be provided for your convenience. Donations made by check should be made payable to “OLMC.” All funds collected throughout the Diocese will be equally divided among the 48 missionary organizations visiting the Diocese of Sacramento this year. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
