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.”

Appunti del Parroco: a Message from the Pastor

A couple of weeks ago I discussed the Sacrament

of Baptism and its effects. This week we will

look at who can be baptized, the ceremony of bap-

tism, and the necessity of baptism.

As discussed previously, baptism effects not only

the washing away and forgiveness of all sins but also

the conforming of the soul to Christ and its adoption

into divine “sonship.” The forgiveness of sins lasts

until we sin again, but the change in our soul is per-

manent. Once our soul is marked as a son or daughter

of God, not unlike the genetic markers our biological

parents leave on us, every part of our body and soul

is forever changed, marked by God as His own.

Therefore, once we have been baptized it cannot be

repeated. Just like my genetic identity is a permanent

mark of who I am, so my baptism leaves a permanent

spiritual mark on my soul and, through my soul,

every part of who I am.

This partly answers the question, “Who can be bap-

tized?” The other two parts of the answer come in the

reality of God’s universal salvific will, i.e. His desire

to save all men, and in His respect for human free

will. This means that anyone who is not baptized and

does not express a desire to remain unbaptized, can

be baptized.

The ceremony of baptism in its most basic form is

very simple. It consists of the pouring of water (over

at least the head) or immersion of an individual three

times while invoking the Holy Trinity: “I baptize you

in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy

Spirit.” Anyone, even a non-Christian, can baptize

another person as long as he intends to do what the

Church intends in baptism.

In the case of a person who has not yet reached the

age of reason*, he is baptized prior to catechesis and

is educated in the faith as he grows in wisdom, not

unlike the way in which Christ grew as a man while

already the Son of God. If the person is above the

age of reason, he is catechized first and then bap-

tized, confirmed and given first Holy Communion.

From the time of the apostles, becoming a

Christian has been accomplished by a journey

and initiation in several stages. This journey

can be covered rapidly or slowly, but certain

essential elements will always have to be pre-

sent: proclamation of the Word, acceptance of

the Gospel entailing conversion, profession of

faith, baptism itself, the outpouring of the Holy

Spirit, and admission to Eucharistic commun-

ion.

This initiation has varied greatly through the

centuries according to circumstances. In the

first centuries of the Church, Christian initia-

tion saw considerable development. A long

period of catechumenate included a series of

preparatory rites, which were liturgical land-

marks along the path of catechumenal prepara-

tion and culminated in the celebration of the

sacraments of Christian initiation (Catechism of

the Catholic Church, Nos. 1229-1230; for more on the

particular symbols within the rite of baptism itself, see

Nos. 1234-1245).

As Catholics we believe that baptism is necessary

for salvation. This means, from the human side of

things, God has revealed to us only one means by

which people are saved: baptism. This does not mean

that God by extra-ordinary graces cannot save any-

one He so desires. Rather, it simply means that as

God’s instruments, we as individuals and the Church

as a whole know of no other means by which we can

assure the salvation of a person except baptism.

The Sacrament of Baptism, Part 2

* The “age of reason” is the time of one’s life at which he or she is assumed to be morally responsible and able to distinguish be-

tween right and wrong. It is generally held to be by the end of the seventh year, although it may be earlier or later depending on indi-

vidual development and circumstances.

N ow, Bethlehem is the city where the die was struck and Christ Himself is the Die. All the men who

have lived and will ever live are the raw material awaiting the stamp of the Divine Original. But in or-

der to be like Him, that is, a sharer of His Divine Life, we must be struck off that die. And the Baptismal font

is the new Bethlehem where the copies are made, for there men are re-born again to the Life of God. — Ven. Fulton J. Sheen, The Prodigal World, 1936

SVdP seeks mentors for new program

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul desperately needs

volunteers to be mentors to those who are about to

graduate from its “Changing Lives Forever” program.

The program helps impoverished people develop spe-

cific plans to improve their lives and leave poverty. Cur-

rently there are 65 people from five parishes in the 18-

week program. They are preparing to graduate in early

summer.

Mentors would undergo four hours of training, and then

would make themselves available to these graduates six

hours each month for one year. The mentors themselves

would set the times for these meeting.

For more information about become a mentor in the

“Changing Lives Forever” program, contact Joe Doll at

317-919-1419 or profjdoll@aol.com, or Domoni Rouse,
