Paris attacks are an 'affront' to human dignity, pope says
By CINDY WOODEN
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY - Using God's name to try to justify violence and murder is "blas- phemy," Pope Francis said Nov. 15, speaking about the terrorist attacks on Paris. Such barbarity leaves us dismayed, and we ask our- selves how the human heart can plan and carry out such horrible events," the pope said after reciting the Ange- lus prayer with visitors in St. Peter's Square. The attacks in Paris Nov. 13 - attacks the French gov- ernment said were carried out by three teams of Islamic State terrorists - caused the deaths of at least 129 people and left more than 350 in- jured, many of them critically. The attacks, Pope Francis said, were an "unspeakable affront to the dignity of the human person." The path of violence and hatred cannot resolve the problems of humanity, and using the name of God to jus- tify this path is blasphemy," he said, asking the crowd to join him in a Hail Mary. May the Virgin Mary, mother of mercy, give rise in the hearts of everyone thoughts of wisdom and pro- posals for peace," he said. We ask her to protect and watch over the dear French nation, the first daughter of the church, over Europe and the whole world." Cardinal Andre Vingt- Trois of Paris issued a state- ment calling for calm and for prayers, not only for the Paris victims, but also for the victims of recent terror- ist attacks in Lebanon and in Africa. May no one allow himself to be defeated by panic and hatred," the cardinal said. Let us ask for the grace of being peacemakers. We must never lose our hope for peace if we work for justice." With some 1,500 inside Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and hundreds more gathered outside Nov. 15, Cardinal Vingt-Trois celebrated a spe- cial Mass in memory of the victims. As the cathedral bells tolled a death knell, police patrolled the square in front of the cathedral and checked people as they entered the Paris landmark for Mass. The cardinal told the as- sembly - which included government officials and am- bassadors from a variety of nations - that the Mass was intended as a sign of sharing the pain of the victims and of praying for them, their fami- lies, for Paris and for France. The savage killings this black Friday plunged entire families into despair, and this despair is all the more profound because there can be no rational explanation that would justify the indis- criminate execution of dozens of anonymous people," the cardinal said. The only Christian re- sponse, he said, is to be "mes- sengers of hope in the heart of human suffering." The terrorists succeed if their actions shake Chris- tians' hope founded on faith in Christ and on a belief that all of history, including mo- ments of suffering, is in God's hands, he said. The appropriate response to the "barbaric savagery" of the terrorists, he said, is "to demonstrate additional trust in our fellow men and their dignity." After the attacks occurred, Jesuit Father Federico Lom- bardi, Vatican spokesman, was asked about security con- cerns and particularly wheth- er the terrorist attacks would impact plans for the Year of Mercy, which is scheduled to begin Dec. 8. These murderers, pos- sessed by senseless hatred, are called terrorists precisely because they want to spread terror," Father Lombardi re- sponded in a statement. "If we let ourselves be fright- ened, they will have already reached their first objective." It goes without saying that we must be cautious, and not irresponsible," he said, but "we must go on living by building peace and mutual trust."
St. Elizabeth of Hungary celebrates a centennial
them what God is doing in this parish." What we must do is lift up a prayer of thanksgiving for those who have been a part of this parish," he add- ed. "We must pray that we will continue to be a part of the outreach to this bustling community." It was a comment greeted with great applause at the end of Father Harris' homily. Rick Rayome, who plays bass with musicians for the parish's contemporary Mass- es, couldn't agree more with Father Harris' assessment of the parish's future. We have to be part of the new evangelization," he said, and reach out to all the new people in the community. All we have to do, really, is say 'I love my church.' " Those visiting for the 100- year celebration came into a St. Elizabeth Church that looks far different today than it did just a few years ago. All the Stations of the Cross have been painted, Fa- ther Harris noted, as has the sanctuary. A high-technology sound system, featuring 12- foot speakers incorporated into features at the front of the church, has dramatically improved the acoustics. It used to be that you could be standing next to someone trying to have a con- versation, and you couldn't hear each other," Rayome said. Those acoustics have been aided by sound absorbing panels that look like a part of the walls. Pastoral associate Janet Buntain agreed that the interior renovation work has made a big difference." Father Robert Gray, who has served the parish since his retirement two decades ago, agrees that all of the im- provements are impressive. Look at the statue of St. Elizabeth," he said prior to the start of the 11 a.m. Mass. Isn't she beautiful?" Tyler Stevens and his young son, Liam, lived on Delor Avenue in German- town before recently moving just a few blocks to Eastern Parkway. They attend the early Mass each Sunday at St. Elizabeth, and Stevens said both he and his toddler son love it. We walk to early Mass and he loves it here," Stevens said. "Then after Mass we go down and play at (nearby) Emerson Park. It makes for a great Sunday." Continued from Page One

St. Joseph Church launches 150th anniversary celebration
away lands like Ireland and Germany," said Father Sn- chez. The parish is now home to their descendants, as well as a growing community of Hispanic immigrants. It's a diverse parish where all are welcomed to worship together as a family," said Father Snchez. Several parishioners, in- cluding Mary Glasscock, used the word "family" to describe the parish. Glass- cock, who teaches religious education at the church, grad- uated from the now-closed St. Joseph School, as did her mother. It's a close-knit family and everyone has worked to make it a good parish," Glass- cock said. As they approach St. Joseph's 150th anniver- sary, Glasscock said her wish is for the parish to remain strong. "I don't think we'll have a problem with that." Glasscock noted that the growth of the Latino presence in the church, which began when Father Snchez became pastor in 2006, has been a challenge. But, she said, the newer parishioners have inte- grated into the larger parish. St. Joseph offers a sepa- rate Mass in Spanish, but a bilingual Mass every Sunday at noon enables both groups to worship together. We're not separated," she said. "When we have a gath- ering, it's for both groups." She added that religious edu- cation classes are combined and taught in English. Samuel Zuniga, a native of Mexico, said he and his fam- ily have been parishioners of St. Joseph since Father Sn- chez became pastor. I like the way Father Snchez presents the Word, and the union I feel with the people here," said Zuniga. He hopes St. Joseph continues to grow, he said. He and his family were among the many Hispanic families who worshipped at the Mass and attended a brunch afterward, where ta- males and smoked sausages were among the various foods served. During the liturgy, the congregation expressed their gratitude for those who served at the parish. They gave thanks for diocesan priests who have served at the parish in recent years; the Franciscan Friars of St. John the Baptist Province in Cincinnati, whose members administered the parish for 127 years; and the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, who served as educators at St. Joseph School, which closed in 2003 after 136 years. In good and in challeng- ing times they've worked with us. They've baptized our chil- dren, heard our secrets and buried our loved ones. Their love and dedication is still within the walls and spirit of the church," Father Sn- chez said. Connie Stewart, a lifelong parishioner and chair of the parish's anniversary commit- tee, said the original building, where the parish hall and gym now stands on Washing- ton Street, was consecrated in January of 1866 and served as both the church and school. The school opened in the fall of 1867 with 236 students and was administered by the Ursuline Sisters. The current church build- ing was completed and con- secrated in 1886. Due to the cost, the twin steeples weren't constructed until the early 1900s. Except for some minor changes, the interior of the church has been pre- served, said Stewart, who was baptized there. Stewart's family has be- longed to St. Joseph for sever- al generations. She was also married at the church, as were her parents and grand- parents. It's not a real prominent church in the city, but we're a group of hardworking peo- ple," she said. "We want to see our parish thrive and be here for many years to come." She said the upcoming an- niversary will be a time to reflect on the past, present and future of the church. In addition to Sunday's celebration, the anniversary observance will also include:
n
A St. Joseph feast day Mass and festival will be held March 19.
n
A celebration Mass and dinner will take place on May 14. Continued from Page One
