  Altar bell      The most stunning uses of church bells is their ringing at the elevation of the Host and the elevation of the Chalice in the Mass, an act that announces to the entire world that a   miracle is taking place  . Later this typically came, in most places, to be done only by a small handbell (the "Altar bell" or "Sanctus bell") inside the Church, but many places retain use of the large bells at this time. It's an exquisite moment (there are no words, really) -- one that would compel one to kneel if one weren't already kneeling. In modern times its use in the Mass is considered optional to the Consecration. Many parishes do not use them, but  they are recommended, and some do continue to use them. (It is at the discretion of the individual priest, unless directed otherwise by the hierarchy). In traditional Catholicism, according to the rubrics, the Altar Bell is rung at the Sanctus and at the elevation of both Species.
The Chimes of the Trinity is the ringing of the bell three times to represent the Father,  Son, and Holy Spirit   The four bells represent  (Air, Water, Earth, Fire)

 I commend Bishop Brown on his letter and desire to help protect our Religious Liberties, once these liberties go,
 watch out for what will come next.  Fr. Charbel R. Grbavac O.Praem.
 
 

Excerpts of an article written by non-Catholic Sam Miller - a prominent  Cleveland  Jewish businessman:


          "Why would newspapers carry on a vendetta on one of the most important institutions that we have today in the United States, namely the Catholic Church?
Do you know - the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion  dollars. The graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 92%.  The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the  U.S. with an enrollment of 700,000 students.
          The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people - not just Catholics - in the  United States today.
But the press is vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the disease of pedophilia on the Catholic Church, which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage.
Let me give you some figures that Catholics should know and remember.  For  example, 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact in a study by the  United  Methodist  Church , 41.8% of clergy women reported unwanted sexual behavior;  17% of laywomen have been sexually harassed.   Meanwhile, 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of  pedophilia. 10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia. This is not a Catholic Problem.
        A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the  choice, would choose to be priests again in face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving.

The Catholic Church is bleeding from self-inflicted wounds.  The agony that Catholics have felt and suffered is not necessarily the fault of  the Church.  You have been hurt by a small number of wayward priests that have probably been totally weeded out by now.
       Walk with your shoulders high and you head higher.  Be a proud member of the most important non-governmental agency in the  United States .Then remember what Jeremiah said:  'Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls'.   Be proud to speak up for your faith with pride and reverence and learn what your Church does for all other religions.
