Jee Han Park memorial

 


The regular Saturday evening Massgoers will certainly remember Mr. Jee Han Park, who has served as organist there for some time.

He was killed by a drunk driver recently, so we pray for the repose of his soul and for all those who mourn his loss.

Here is the memorial notice from St. Anthony of Padua Parish.


In your prayers please remember
Who entered Eternal Life on Wednesday, June 9, 2021
in Cincinnati, Ohio. At age 57

Jee Han PARK, entered Eternal Life on June 9, 2021, on the eve of his birthday.
His tragic passing was due to the actions of a DUI driver.
Born and raised in South Korea, he came to the United States in pursuit of musical perfection. He settled in Cincinnati over 20 years ago and quickly became a beloved member of Saint Anthony of Padua Maronite Church and Madison Ave Christian Church. He followed his dreams, progressing through the prestigious UC CCM graduate program, one formality away from completing his Ph.D.
He is survived by his beloved mother, two sisters, and brother in South Korea, and a brother, a sister-in-law, and a niece residing in Canada as well as his American family, Joseph, Steven, Rebecca, Geneva, and Adon Sowma.

We pray that the Lord God may grant rest and peace to Jee Han and consolation to his family, granting him Eternal Peace and rest among the Righteous and the Just in Heaven.

New priests' ordination video

Image
The Archdiocese has recently published a very good 3-minute video of the ordination of three new priests for service to the Archdiocese. You will hear snippets from Archbishop's Schnurr homily and see a few scenes from that ordination Mass.  There are many powerful symbols in that ordination ceremony, including the men about to be ordained priests lying prostrate (on the ground, face down) before the altar, symbolizing that they are dying to themselves as they become "another Christ." In the photo above, after the bishop consecrates the men with prayer and laying on of hands, all of the other priests concelebrating the Mass also lay hands on them, showing that they now share in the one priesthood of Jesus Christ, the great High Priest. You may recognize Fr. Christopher Komoroski.  He was at our South Clermont parishes several weeks when he was still a deacon, to practice his preaching. I had the privilege of "vesting" Fr. Andrew Reckers (helping him put on his

Facing the Father together

  For this Advent season only this year (Masses of November 28th through December 23rd), Fr. Reutter will be offering all of his parish Masses in the traditional posture of the Church, with the priest and people together symbolically facing the Father.  (This liturgical orientation is sometimes called by its Latin names, ad orientem or ad Deum  which mean "facing the East" or "facing God [the Father]" This way of celebrating the Mass has centuries-long and ancient roots.  In fact, it was mandatory for much of the Church's history.  After the Second Vatican Council, two options were introduced: the traditional posture or Mass facing the people ( versus populum , to use the Latin phrase).  This resource page has some information on the symbolism behind this option and how it helps to reveal what is happening in the mystery of the Mass. * Fr. Mike Schmitz video, " Pray the Mass like never before ."  This is a general video on the mystery of the Mass, with
