Church Doors

On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis once again opened the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, signaling the start of the Jubilee Year of Hope, during which 30 million pilgrims are expected to pour into the Basilica to gain an indulgence for the remission of their sins. Concomitantly, Bishop Libasci has decreed a Eucharistic Pilgrimage here in the Diocese of Manchester in the Year of Our Lord 2025 to emphasize and to celebrate the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. (See the Decree inserted in this week’s edition of the parish bulletin.)

Here at St. Joseph’s Church in Lincoln, we will celebrate in mid-January the installation of new doors on the front of the church building.  The current wooden doors, along with the framing and hardware, have warped and deteriorated to the point of being energy inefficient and too costly to repair.  (You may have heard the doors slamming during Adoration and Holy Mass!) The new doors and framing will be more energy efficient and will provide enhanced security measures, including transparency, better locking mechanisms and push bars to facilitate emergency egress.

There is simply no way to thank Millie Berry sufficiently for her generous contribution of this  new enhancement to the church building.  Millie  has assumed the entire cost of this project, donated in memory of her brother, Bill Berry, and her mother, Mildred Berry. When you see Millie, please offer a word of thanks to her for her gift of the new front doors.

With prayerful best wishes,

Fr. John Mahoney

Jubilee Year of Hope

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Please take home one of the calendars available at the church doors. Fr. Leo Burchel terms the new year  “a gift from God and a special year of prayer.”  What a gift we have as Catholics in the liturgical calendar!  Mother Church proposes for us times and seasons in which we attune our sentiments to the sentiments of Christ: repentance and expectation during Advent, humility and joy at Christmas, penance and mercy in Lent, and a grand celebration during the Easter season.  We can thus walk step in step with the Church,    living the principal mysteries of our faith throughout the year in an atmosphere of communion and solidarity with our fellow Christians.  Through the liturgical seasons – and our faith-filled living of them – hearts are united, the Church is built up, and charity increases.

Abundant blessings to all of you in the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025!

Fr. John Mahoney
