M.SIGGA Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 It looks like members of Christ the King Parish in Pleasant Hill, CA will be trick-or-treating a little bit early...like during mass this weekend!!! All ages are invited and everyone gets to put on their favorite costume too. Check out the bottom of their parish webpage: Christ the King I wonder what Fr. Bryan will be dressed as?

foundsheep Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I think its a novel approach although they should of maybe limited it to saints and popes costumes. watch some kid show up as Micheal Myers getting communion with a play knife in one hand.

Paladin D Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 The Church I used to go to back in Wilmington, DE. They held a halloween/Christian like tour in the large basement. Your mission was to help two marines find a missing soldier, and you used Blessed Crosses to fight off evil forces (zombies, ghosts, vampires and such). It was fun, but not sure if it was against the rules of the Church. The Priests knew and even attended it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 As Pope John Paul II marks 25 years as Bishop of Rome, the Catholic world is both celebrating and taking stock of his pontificate: how he has helped shape political events while urging clergy to stay out of politics; how he has set firm new directions for a Catholic Church that is currently being described as “a people adrift”; how he has preached the unique gospel of Jesus Christ and offered spiritual inspiration to people around the globe, both Christian and non-Christian alike.umm . . . what the heck does that mean? We're a "people adrift" who is currently describing us that way? This Priest writes like a schizophrenic . . . There are also some interesting "liturgical" roles PROJECTIONISTS Members of the Parish serve as Slide Projectionists at all the Masses. Instructions for each Mass are provided in a binder in the pew where the Projectionist sits. Parishioners who volunteer for this ministry serve approximately once a month at the Mass they usually attend. Everyone is welcome to participate! Fr. Joyce, ahhh, let us pray fro him . . . Fr.

PedroX Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 The Holy Longing isn't to bad. A little to mushy for my tastes, but... The rest of his reading list scares me. Why read a book called "Is Jesus God"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 The worst part of that "Is Jesus God?" book . . . is that it never ends up saying Yes . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 There are also some interesting "liturgical" roles Projection TVs are big in the yuppie evangelical churches like Willow Creek in the NW suburbs of Chicago - kinda like a big college lecture hall. I would like to officially adopt the term Powerpoint Mass to describe the use of projection TVs at Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
