Every year, Christian communities and churches join together to pray for the visible unity of the Church, accepting the will of Christ, who prayed “that all may be one” (John 17:21) during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. In the U.S., this Week of Prayer is commemorated from January 18-25.

This commemoration is especially highlighted in the Diocese of Wilmington because the founder of the week, Servant of God, Father Paul Wattson, SA, was born in the Maryland portion of our diocese.  Information and resources regarding the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is available at www.GEII.org

Listen to Catholic Forum on Saturday, January 16th, at 1:30 on Relevant Radio 640 to learn about the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity when Father Jim Loughlan, SA, Director of the Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, is interviewed.

Join us Tuesday, January 19 at 4:00PM
in St. Ann for the
Prayer Service on Peace and Justice

Bishop Malooly to celebrate live-streamed Mass for Life and Holy Hour for Life on Friday Jan. 29

The Most Reverend W. Francis Malooly, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, will preside at a Holy Hour for Life and a Mass for Life, on Friday, January 29, 2021. Both online events are a part of the National Prayer Vigil for Life sponsored by the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Holy Hour will debut at 4:00 a.m., and the Mass will be live-streamed at 10:00 a.m. Both events will be shown on the diocesan YouTube channel, YouTube.com/DioceseofWilm and cdow.org/Respect-Life, and are from the beautiful and historic Cathedral of Saint Peter in Wilmington, Delaware.

Catholics across the country are encouraged to observe a nationwide prayer vigil from Thursday, January 28 to Friday, January 29, 2021 marking the 48th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalizing abortion through nine months of pregnancy. Since those decisions, over 60 million abortions have been performed legally in the United States.

The vigil will begin with a live broadcast at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 28 from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. with a rosary, followed by Mass opening the National Prayer Vigil for Life. After the Mass and throughout the night, Holy Hours led by bishops from various dioceses around the country will be broadcast on the USCCB’s website (usccb.org). Bishop Malooly’s Holy Hour will debut at 4:00 a.m. on that site, as well as on YouTube.  The live-streamed Mass, available on the diocesan YouTube channel, is at 10:00 a.m. Both events will also be available at cdow.org/Respect-Life.

The Holy Hour for Life will include a rosary with diocesan deacons and seminarians offering reflections on the various Sorrowful Mysteries and how they relate to life issues facing our society. Long-time pro-life advocate, Deacon Robert Cousar, who ministers at Saint Joseph Church in Wilmington, and Transitional Deacon Michael Preston, from Saint Teresa Church in Port Deposit, Maryland, will speak. Seminarians Brennan Ferris, John Enemuo, and James Gebhart will also share their thoughts during the rosary. Bishop Malooly will be the presider and homilist at the live Mass at 10:00. Unfortunately, both events are online only due to coronavirus concerns. More information can be found at cdow.org/Respect-Life.

The 7:30AM Sunday Quiet Mass at St. Ann will continue thru the Lenten Season. That is, there will be no music or singing at that Mass.

The reason this is being done is that it has come to our attention that during COVID, there are people concerned about coming to Mass because of the singing. Studies show that activities related to performing arts, such as
singing, speaking loudly, and playing instruments in close proximity to others carry an elevated risk compared to other activities. Such activities require social distancing to be more than twice the regular 6 foot distance.

The Parish Council has discussed this issue with the Liturgy Committee and this is the recommendation. I hope that this will make at least a few more people feel comfortable enough to come back to church to attend the Quiet Mass.
