Our Diocese is blessed with many couples happily married for over 50 years. These strong witnesses to the Sacrament of Matrimony should and need to be celebrated. With that in mind, the Office of Marriage Preparation and Enrichment is once again searching for the Longest Married couple in each parish and will send a Certificate of Recognition to the winner in each parish as a tie in to the National Marriage Week in February sponsored by the USCCB, World Marriage Day and Marriage Encounter’s eighth annual search for the Longest Married Couple in the United States. For the last two years the Diocese of Knoxville has had the Longest Married Couple in the State of Tennessee. If you would like to nominate a couple for this honor please submit the names, how long they have been married and what parish they belong to by January 7, 2018, to Marian Christiana at

ANCIENT MEMORIES FOR THE NEW YEAR ANNO DOMINI 2018 “She [the Catholic Church] saw the commencement of all the governments and of all the ecclesiastical institutions that now exist in the world; and we feel no assurance that she is not destined to see the end of them all. She was great and respected before the Saxon had set foot in Britain, before the Frank had crossed the Rhine, when Grecian eloquence still flourished in Antioch, when idols were still worshipped in the temples of Mecca. And she may still exist in undiminished vigor when some traveler from New Zealand shall, in the midst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St Paul’s.” (Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1840)
For These We Pray.. Wayne Traffas.. Ron Kopp.. Chuck Williams.. We're revising the way we add names to the bulletin for the sick of the parish. Names will be placed on the list for one month. Please e-mail your prayer request to
[email protected]
One project of our Martha and Mary Guild is to crochet or knit prayer shawls and lap robes for our sick and homebound parishioners to let them know they are being remembered in love and prayer. We also make baby blankets for the Ladies of Charity layette program. If you would like to help with these projects, please join us on Tuesday mornings in the JP II room. You can also help by donating yarn and/or making the items at home.
Quote and image from a splendid new book by Fr. William J. Slattery (Heroism and Genius, Ignatius Press) on the role of the Catholic Church as the fount and cradle of most all that’s good and beautiful in Western culture and civilization. From its Contents:
We also welcome anyone who would like to work on your own project with a faith-filled group. For further information, call Lorraine McWilliams 865-805-7316.
Chapter 6 Guardians of the Ancient Rite: The Traditional Mass and the Culture of Christendom
Those unable to attend Mass and who would like to receive the Blessed Sacrament, please contact Deacon Mike Gouge at 966-9504. Sunday is the most appropriate day for the Eucharist to be taken to those who cannot be part of the community’s celebration. It is most fitting that extraordinary ministers go directly from the Sunday or weekday Mass carrying Communion to the sick and homebound.
“By the reign of Pope Gregory the Great (590—604), the clergy had already designed the essential structure of the sublimely beautiful [traditional Latin] rite that would become over the following three hundred years in Western Europe the principal form of enacting the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.”
If you would like to participate in this valuable ministry as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, call Deacon Mike.
