ADORATION of the BLESSED SACRAMENT:
The church is open daily from 7:15 am to approximately 6
pm. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is encouraged by
spotlighting the Tabernacle outside the times of the Holy
Sacrifice.
HOLY COMMUNION: We welcome to the Holy Mass all
who share our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. While all are
welcome here, we cannot extend to all an invitation to receive
Holy Communion. This is not for lack of Christian hospitality.
Rather, it is the recognition by the Catholic Church that real
divisions of faith and practice do sadly exist among
Christians. Practicing Catholics who go to Confession
whenever needed are invited to receive Holy Communion.
Non-Catholic Christians and those Catholics in need of the
Sacrament of Penance are asked to pray for a spiritual
communion with the Lord Jesus and for the unity of His
Church.

It is a Holy and Wholesome Thought To Pray for the
Dead. More effective than flowers or memorial gifts, is
to have the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for your
deceased loved ones or a Mass celebrated as a
“special intention” For a living person.
Call or visit the parish office to request a Mass
304-342-8175.
Use of Contribution Envelopes
Those who insist on anonymity in contributing to the parish
are asked to use the parish contribution envelopes and mark
the contribution space -0- or -?-. This will enable pastor to
know you are a practicing Catholic and regularly attend Mass
for reasons noted under Sponsor Certificates.
Sponsor Certificates
To act as Sponsors of Baptism/Confirmation, certificates are
gladly issued to registered members of the Basilica of the CoCathedral of the Sacred Heart who have received the
Sacrament of Confirmation, are known to attend Mass
regularly by use of envelopes, receive Holy Communion
regularly, have children receiving Catholic Religious
Education and, if married, have done so in conformity with
the regulations of the Catholic Church. Same criteria required
for families to receive special parish rates for SHGS tuition.

THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC REVIEW
Encountering Islam
How can Catholics elevate interfaith dialogue?
November 17, 2014 | The Editors
Pope Francis’ trip to Turkey at the end of November comes at a critical time and place in the history of
Christian-Muslim relations. Bordering Iraq and Syria, Turkey has in recent months been inundated with
refugees fleeing the advance of Islamic State militants. The Christian presence in the Middle East has been on
the decline for decades, but today civil war and the rise of extremist groups threaten to expel the tiny minority
that remains.
The plight of persecuted Christians is an issue close to Pope Francis’ heart, and at a gathering of cardinals on
Oct. 20 denounced “terrorism of previously unimaginable proportions” and the perpetrators on whom “the
value of human life has been lost.” Nowhere in his remarks, however, does he draw a connection between this
violence and the religion of Islam. His careful use of language reflects his belief, expressed a year ago in his
apostolic exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel,” that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are
opposed to every form of violence.” For that reason, he writes, Catholics must avoid “hateful generalizations”
in the face of violent fundamentalism.
Such nuance often is lost on American commentators. In September the talk show host Bill Maher said the
“Muslim world…has too much in common with ISIS”; his guest, the author Sam Harris, conceded that there
are certainly “nominal Muslims who don’t take the faith seriously, who don’t want to kill apostates, who are
horrified by ISIS.” As there were no Muslims present in this exchange, the source of religious authority cited
was the Pew Research Center, which found that 86 percent of Egyptians support the death penalty for
apostates.
That is a troubling statistic, but religions are not defined by opinion polls. Those who wish to make sweeping
generalizations about Muslims have their work cut out for them. There is no equivalent to the pope in Islam,
no single catechism or hierarchy to consult for definitive interpretations of religious texts. Any sentence that
begins “All Muslims” and does not end with “believe there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the
messenger of Allah” probably paints an incomplete or inaccurate picture of a faith held by over 1.5 billion
people from every region of the world. In Afghanistan 99 percent of Muslims favor making Sharia law the law
of the land; in Azerbaijan just 8 percent favor this. Factors other than faith are at play here.
This is not to say that the Muslim faith in its diversity of expressions should not be engaged with
critically. Groups like ISIS and Boko Haram commit horrific acts of violence in the name of Islam, and it is
not enough to simply say, “They are not true Muslims.” But neither should their actions be used to perpetuate
what the theologian William T. Cavanaugh calls “the myth of religious violence,” the idea that religion is
“more inclined toward violence than secular ideologies and institutions.”
What, then, can Catholics do to elevate the conversation around Islam? First, we must recognize that
narratives matter. According to a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute in 2011, only about a third of
Americans personally know a Muslim, and 86 percent report knowing little or nothing about Islam. If what
most Americans know about Islam is what they see in the headlines—rebels beheading journalists in Syria and
kidnapping school girls in Nigeria—it is easy to understand why a Pew poll in 2014 found 50 percent, the
highest share since 2002, believe Islam is more likely to encourage violence than other religions. These stories
deserve our attention; but so too does the fact that Malala Yousufzai, who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize
for her work promoting girls’ education, is Muslim, as were four others among the past 12 peace laureates.
Catholics can also follow Pope Francis’ lead by creating a “culture of encounter” with Muslims. This fall
Bishop Arthur Serratelli of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J., attended an iftar, the evening meal at which Muslims
break their Ramadan fast. At the dinner the bishop joined Imam Mohammad Qatanani in a discussion about
volunteerism, another fruitful ground for interfaith engagement. The Interfaith Youth Corps, for example, fosters cooperation among faith and secular communities through service work on over 100 campuses nationwide. Catholic high schools and universities could also incorporate introductory classes on Islam into their
curriculum and welcome imams as campus chaplains, as Georgetown University has done since 1999.
In a world where senseless terror threatens Muslim and Christians alike, we must take up the call of the Second Vatican Council, in the “Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions,” “to
work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all
mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom.”

Did you know? The 2015 Warriors to Lourdes Pilgrimage for
Wounded or Disabled Military Personnel for the 57th Annual
International Military Pilgrimage will take place May 12-18,
2015. The pilgrimage, sponsored by the Archdiocese for the
Military Services, USA, and the Knights of Columbus, is the
latest event in a long history of both organizations’ involvement in
Lourdes and service to the military. Military personnel and their
designated caregivers (if applicable) will travel to the Marian
shrine for a time of resting, praying and healing. “We will journey
and pray with pilgrims from around the world,” said Archbishop
Timothy P. Broglio of the Archdiocese of Military Services. “It
will be an occasion to raise our hearts and minds to the Prince of
Peace and beg for an increase in understanding and a decrease in
strife.” Apply for the pilgrimage at Lourdes@kofc.org
