ST. ANTHONY PARISH
Dear Parishioners,
Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk is a priest of the Fall River Diocese
who holds a Ph.D. with a Doctorate in neuroscience from Yale and
did post-doctoral work at Harvard. Currently he serves as the
Director of Education at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in
Philadelphia. He is a frequent columnist with the PILOT and writes
on matters concerning bioethics and other medical moral issues. I
mention this because this past week Father Pacholczyk wrote a
column titled "Cremains and Respect for the Human Body."
Realizing that not many might have had the chance to read the
current teaching about cremation, and because there is a lot of
misunderstanding about it, I would like to quote from Father's
article, since the question of cremation comes up frequently.
Father T (we'll call him that) states: For Catholics, cremation is
considered an acceptable form of handling the human body after
death, although, as noted in the Order of Christian Funerals,
cremation does not enjoy the same value as burial of the body...the
Church prefers and urges that the body of the deceased be present
for the funeral rites, since the presence of the human body better
expresses the values which the Church affirms in its rites.
Our parish experience, and I am sure the experience of all
parishes, is that our experience is threefold, a funeral Mass with the
body present, a funeral Mass with the cremains present, and a
memorial Mass without the body or cremains present. Sometimes
the choice for one of these options is necessitated by a time factor.
When Cardinal Burke was bishop of the Diocese of Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, he noted some of the problems which cremation might
cause. He wrote in a Pastoral Letter that with the growing presence
of cremation, there has also developed a certain lack of care for the
cremated remains of the dead. Sometimes remains are left
unclaimed at funeral homes. Cardinal Burke noted that it is not
permitted to scatter cremated remains over a favorite place.
Moreover, keeping the ashes of a loved one on the fireplace or in
the attic can downplay or deny the human dignity of the deceased,
tempting one to treat the mortal remains as just another item to be
moved around among our various trinkets.
One reason why cremation has become so commonplace is the
growing lack of burial space in our cemeteries. Many cemeteries
are building columbaria where the remains can be buried. Father T
concludes his article with the reminder that the sacred memory of
our departed family and friends, in sum, calls us to carefully attend
to their remains with authentic and objective gestures of respect.
The Code of Canon Law was revised in 1983, but I thought it
would be interesting to look up the Code under which we were
taught, the Code of 1917 which came directly from the Code of the
Council of Trent, and see how far we have come. Canon 1203
states: "The bodies of the faithful deceased must be buried, and
their cremation is reprobated. If a person has in any way ordered
that his body be cremated, it is illicit to obey such instructions, and
if such a provision occur in a contract, last testament, or in any
document whatsoever, it is to be disregarded." Fortunately, the
revised Code of Canon Law states: "The Church earnestly
recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the
dead be observed. It does not, however, forbid cremation unless it
has been chosen for reasons which are contrary to Christian
teaching. This should allay any fears of anyone who might think the
Church still forbids cremation.
Sincerely,
Fr John R. Mulvehill

Canobie Lake Fun Day – August 29
In Appreciation for their services, Saint Anthony Parish
invites altar servers to a day at Canobie Lake. We travel
by motor coach, leaving St. Anthony’s at 10 sharp and
usually arrive home around 8pm. Father covers the bus
and ticket into the park, but your child is responsible for
any food, snacks, etc. that they will purchase during the day. Stay
tuned for a sign-up genius that will go out to reserve your seat.
In Loving Memory
Please remember in your prayers, Grace Genevieve
Good who passed away recently. May her soul and the
Souls of All the Faithful Departed Rest In Peace. AMEN
We rejoice with the families of our new
brothers and sisters who recently
received the Sacrament of Baptism.
