Dear Mr. Ciani:
Allow me to take this opportunity to express my thanks

the young people of our diocese. They are always an inspiration to me
and a great source of pride.
Please be assured that you and all at St. Pancras School

Earth Day 2012
Earth Day will be celebrated on April 22nd.
On April 22, more than one billion people around the
globe will participate in Earth Day 2012 and help Mobilize
the Earth™. People of all nationalities and backgrounds will

"LONG BEFORE the environmental movement began
and global warming became a hot topic, God told us in
the first chapter of the Book of Genesis that caring for
creation is our moral responsibility. But evidence is
mounting that we haven’t been doing a very good job, and
the results are catching up with us.
Thus, people of faith, including Catholics, are going
green because of their religious convictions. Some of
them are finding out that saving the earth saves them
money, too. This article will present a sampling of such
efforts." From AmericanCatholic.org.
The
Angelus is said throughout the year
except during Eastertide, from
Easter Sunday through Pentecost, when the Regina Caeli is recited
in its place. According to custom, these prayers are recited at
dawn, noon, and in the evening.
Throughout the Easter
Season - Until Pentecost (the seventh Sunday after Easter) - the
Regina Caeli (Queen of Heaven) is said in place of the Angelus
prayer at 8:25 am, 12 noon and 6:00 pm.
The Angelus
In the Angelus, the first
part of the Hail Mary is said by the leader, while the others respond
with the second part.
V. The angel of the Lord
declared unto Mary. R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.
V.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. R. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at
the hour of our death. Amen.
V. Behold the handmaid of
the Lord. R. Be it done unto me according to your word. Hail Mary...
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary...
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts,
that we to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by
the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the
glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Queen of Heaven
V. Queen of
Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
R. For He whom you did merit to
bear, alleluia. V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray:
O God, who gave joy to
the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of
the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of
everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
