NO SUNDAY COFFEE IN JULY.
HAVE A FUN & SAFE SUMMER.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The first “presbyters” were advisers to the bishops rather
than what we would call “priests,” yet by the year 1000
our present-day understanding of the ordained priesthood
is clearly in place. The Germanic influence was strong in
those days, reflected in a series of questions posed to the
candidate about his intentions.
The priest’s role in the celebration of Mass had by
then come to the fore, as the ritual notes that Mass vestments must be worn, the hands of the priest must be
anointed with chrism, and a chalice with wine and water
and a paten with a host must be given. Up to then, the
ordination rite had stressed the presbyter as a collaborator
with the bishop and a member of the order of presbyters.
Then, in a not-so-subtle shift, the presbyter came to be
seen as a “priest” designated to celebrate the Mass and, as
the prayer suggests, to touch the chalice. By these days,
remember, the cup had long vanished from Communion
for the laity. A thousand years ago, today’s patterns were
already in place. The priest no longer saw himself as a
member of a council of elders, a presbytery, and in some
dioceses he had little influence over the bishop. Instead,
he was either a pastor, with relationship to the eucharistic
community in the parish, or he was a priest monk, offering Mass for the salvation of the departed or the intentions of the living.

Tuesdays @ 7:00 PM.
Everyone is welcome. For questions, contact
Cristina Casiano at (210) 268 5466.
We live in a culture gripped by atheism, humanism, and secularism and Catholics both young and old are being seduced and
led astray. Atheism must be regarded as one of the most serious problems of our time. Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller,
Fr. Mitch Pacwa, Dr. D’Ambrosio, Sr. Miriam, and Vatican
endorsed demonologist, Adam Blai will help us plumb the
depths of this all-important attack on faith and religion. We
will learn how Catholics can remain entrenched in the fullness
of truth and not reject the crucial bond between man and God.
Enliven your Catholic faith and come enjoy the rustic oasis of
the Hyatt resort. For tickets, hotel accommodations with discounted room rates and more details, visit,
