Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Each year on April 29 we celebrate the dedication
of our Diocesan Cathedral, the Cathedral of Saint
Catharine of Siena. Each year on November 9, we
celebrate the dedication of the Cathedral of Rome, the Lateran
Basilica.
At first it might seem odd that Saint Theresa’s in Hellertown
would celebrate a Cathedral in Allentown and a Cathedral in
Rome, but when we stop to think about it, it is not odd at all. It is
all about our apostolic roots.
Jesus gathered a group of Disciples to accompany Him in His
public ministry. From this group of Disciples, Jesus Himself
chose twelve to be His Apostles. The Apostles shared intimately
in Jesus’ ministry and life. They were His constant companions.
These Chosen Disciples heard with their own ears Jesus’
teachings, saw with their own eyes Jesus’ miracles, and
participated in His way of life.
After Simon proclaimed Jesus to be the Christ, the Messiah,
Jesus proclaimed Simon to be “Peter,” which translates into
English as “rock”. Jesus declared that it was on this “rock” that
He would build His Church. Peter was chosen to be Jesus’ Vicar,
to be the guardian of the entire Flock of Christ.
In both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition the Apostles
handed down to us what they themselves had received directly
from Christ. The Apostles as a whole and Peter as their leader
were chosen to protect, defend, and guide the Flock.
When Jesus ordained the Apostles to be His Bishops, He also
gave them the power to pass on their sacred vocation to their
successors. When Jesus chose Peter to be His Vicar, He also gave
the Apostles the authority to choose successors for Peter’s Office.
The Bishops are the successors of the Apostles. It is through
our Bishop that we remain linked to the Faith that Jesus Himself
entrusted to the Apostles. It is natural for our Diocese to celebrate
the dedication of the Cathedral in which our Bishop presides over
the flock entrusted to his care: the Flock of the Diocese of
Allentown.
The Popes are the successors of Peter, the Vicar of Christ. It
is through our Pope that we remain united as one, holy, catholic,
and apostolic Church. It is natural for the entire Church to
celebrate the dedication of the Cathedral in which our Pope
presides not only over the Flock of Rome, but over the entire
Flock of Christ.
Celebrating the dedication of the Cathedral of Saint Catharine
of Siena in Allentown and celebrating the dedication of the
Lateran Basilica in Rome is all about celebrating our apostolic
roots.
May the Peace of Christ be with You Always,
Father Tauber

NOVEMBER 9, 2014 – DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
REMEMBERING OUR
DECEASED LOVED ONES
Since its earliest days, the Church has prayed for
the purification of the souls of the faithful
departed and all who have died in friendship with
God. The month of November in particular is dedicated to
prayer and penance for our brothers and sisters who have
gone before us to eternal life. With confidence in the mercy
and compassion of God, we lift them up in prayer, asking
God to free them from their sins, to purify their souls, and
to raise them up to eternal glory in heaven.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord;
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May all the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
We pray especially for the members and friends of our
Parish who have died since last All Souls Day (November
2, 2013, through November 1, 2014):
