William Mathias (1934 – 1992) LITURGY AND MUSIC NOTES The first part of the Mass, known as the Introductory Rite, contains the following rituals: the Entrance Hymn, Greeting (Sign of the Cross), Penitential Act, Gloria, and Collect (Opening Prayer). When combined, all of these elements usually take about eight minutes, less in Advent and Lent because the Gloria is omitted during those seasons. Focusing on the Penitential Act, the Roman Missal provides three options. However, at Saint Jane’s, we have only been accustomed to the first two. In the first option, the priest leads a prayer known as the Confiteor, or general confession (“I confess to almighty God […]”), followed by an absolution (“May almighty God have mercy on us […]”), and concludes with the invocation of the Kyrie (“Lord, have mercy […]”). A second option is to omit the general confession and absolution and to offer the Kyrie invocations with what are known as “tropes,” (i.e.: “You were sent to heal the contrite of heart, Lord have mercy […]”). Yet, there is one more option available to us. Because more and more churches, including our Cathedral Church of Saint Matthew the Apostle, are beginning to use this third option, we will introduce it as part of our Masses during this upcoming Advent season. The third option replaces the general confession found in the first option with the following dialog: Priest: Have mercy on us, O Lord. All: For we have sinned against you. Priest: Show us, O Lord, your mercy. People: And grant us your salvation. This dialog is followed by the absolution found in the first option and concludes with the Kyrie invocations. We are part of a big Church, and to effectively express the universality of the Mass, it is important for us to exhaust all of the ritual options given to us in the Roman Missal. In doing so, if we visit a new church and they do something different from what we are accustomed to doing, you will still be able to fully participate as a member of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.

M ASS OF THANKSGIVING Thursday, November 23, is Thanksgiving. The only Mass at
St. Jane de Chantal will be celebrated at 11:00 am. The Poor Box on Thanksgiving will benefit St. Martin’s Cloak. ADVENT GIVING TREE The Advent Giving Tree program, sponsored by the St. Jane de Chantal Sodality, will begin on Thanksgiving weekend. Ornament gift tags will be hung on trees in the church gathering space. The tags indicate gift requests from charitable organizations, nursing homes, and the retired Sisters of Charity in Greensburg, PA. This program is a special way for our parish to remember others at Christmas. Please take a tag from one of the trees and return the gift in a Christmas gift bag, with the tag attached. Gifts will be collected only during the Saturday vigil and Sunday Masses the weekends of December 2/3 and December 9/10. Please note that gifts should not be left in the church during the week. If you must leave a gift early, please deliver it to the parish office. Giving Tree questions:

Please view or "Like" our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/stjaneyaf/ to keep up with all of our events! M ASS INTENTIONS It has long been a custom in the Catholic Church to have a Mass offered for someone who is deceased. Masses can also be offered for a special intention, e.g., for the recovery of one who is ill, an anniversary or birthday, or for a special prayer. The priest then makes it his intention during Mass to remember the particular request made. If you would like to have Mass offered for someone who is deceased or for a special intention, stop by the parish office during office hours (M-F 9:00 am - 5:00 pm; Saturday 9:00 am - 3:00 pm). A card is provided to send to the family of the deceased or to the person for whom the Mass is offered. It is also customary that a stipend, or offering, is made at the time of the request. The normal offering for a Mass, per archdiocesan guidelines, is $10.00.
REMEMBER IN PRAYER . . . those who are sick, and all those in our nursing homes and hospitals, especially Nancy Breslin, Pat Krisko, Elton Smith, Suzanne Kulikowski, James Besche, Susan Tise, Lucy Kirby, Donald Dominick, Lillian Liang, and Isabella Moya. . . . those who have died, especially John Dumont.

OPEN HOUSE On November 10, St. Jane de Chantal School welcomed over 30 families to the Fall Open House. Each family was greeted by Mrs. Hamilton and then led on a school tour by a current parent. Many families have since submitted applications for the 2018-19 school year. The next School Open House will be held Monday, January 29, 2018. Plan to join us, and visit our classrooms and meet the teachers. STORY-TELLING VISITOR Last week St. Jane de Chantal welcomed story teller, Gary Lloyd, as an in-school field trip, to teach the students the "Art of Story Telling." There were three different story-telling sessions to accommodate the different age groups in the school. Students were captivated by the story-teller's tales, both fiction and non-fiction. Pre-K through second grade heard stories of dragons, knights, and castles; third grade through fifth grade heard stories of adventures; and sixth grade through eighth grade heard stories about natural disasters. The story-telling experience was exciting and loved by all. Students learned what makes a good story and how to deliver a story to keep your listeners interested. FIFTH GRADE TO MOUNT VERNON The fifth grade went on its annual trip to Mt. Vernon recently to learn more about George Washington and colonial America. This trip coincides with their study of the founding of the American republic, fight for independence, and founding fathers. ARCHDIOCESAN TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Students enrolled in St. Jane de Chantal School whose families are be interested in applying for tuition assistance for the 2018-19 school year must complete a financial aid application with the Archdiocese of Washington, available at www.tads.com.

You may make a onetime gift (write “School Endowment Fund” in the “Notes” box), or a monthly recurring gift that renews yearly. #GIVINGTUESDAY Kick off the season of giving on Tuesday, November 28 and help provide the students of St. Jane de Chantal School with the support and tools they need to learn and develop a positive self-image, leadership skills, and a keen sense of responsibility toward school, faith, and community. Your gift on #GIVINGTUESDAY can benefit our school in three ways: School Endowment Fund, Msgr. Christopher Scholarship Fund, and School Technology Fund.
