10 Commandments of Church Etiquette It seems there is an increasing disrespect for God and the Community occurring during the liturgy. The basic idea of how we should behave in Church is summed up by the Second Council of Lyons, A.D. 1274: It is fitting that He Whose abode has been established in peace should be worshipped in peace and with due reverence. Churches, then, should be entered humbly and devoutly; behavior inside should be calm, pleasing to God, bringing peace to the beholders. Those who assemble in church should extol with an act of special reverence that Name which is above every Name, than which no other under Heaven has been given to people, in which believers must be saved, the Name. Each should fulfill in himself that which is written for all, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, especially during the sacred Mysteries of the Mass. In churches the sacred solemnities should involve the whole heart and mind; one’s entire attention should be given to prayer. Below are some guidelines that we ask you consider when attending Mass: 1. Please do your best to arrive at church on time, or even better, before the service starts. If you arrive after the liturgy has begun, please stop and assess what is going on before looking for a seat. If there is silence, like before the penitential rite or prayer, then pause where you are and wait for the congregation’s next movement, like standing or being seated. Please take a worship program when you enter and mark the first hymn in your hymnal. 2. Put your cell phone on silent or turn it off. It is not acceptable to answer your phone during Mass. If there is an emergency, please step out of the church to take the call. 3. When you first enter the Church, please be observant of how others are behaving. We prefer that you enter quietly and remain reverently silent out of respect for God. Those who arrive early often use that time to read the texts for the day found in the hymnals. Certainly you should greet the people around you, but save the long conversations for the gathering area. 4. You should not leave the Church during prayers, the reading of the Scripture, the Homily or the Consecration. We ask that you remain in church until the closing hymn has been sung. There will be times when a person needs to leave unexpectedly. When this occurs, please do so as discreetly as possible, with the least amount of disruption to the service and the least amount of distraction to your fellow parishioners. 5. You should fast for one hour before receiving Communion, and should refrain from receiving the Eucharist if you are in a state of mortal sin. If circumstance prevents you from receiving Communion, you are invited to approach the altar for a blessing. Indicate this to the Minister of the Eucharist by touching your index finger to your lips. 6. Please do not leave following communion. Would you eat a meal in a person’s home and walk out of the house after eating the last bite without giving thanks for what you have received? Be considerate of God and the Church by staying until the end of Mass. 7. Children should be respectful during Mass. If seated in the Church, please be mindful of those around you. If a child becomes too disruptive please go to the Commons or outside as quietly as possible. Once the child has calmed down, you may return to the Church. It is never appropriate to allow a child to run down or play in the aisles. In addition, toys that make noise are not permitted in church. Children should be taken to the restroom before church begins so as not to disrupt the liturgy. Should a young child need a snack, please be sure that all trash is removed. Chewing gum is never permitted in Church. 8. Dress appropriately. While the Church does not impose a dress code, how we dress is a sign of how important we consider coming to Mass. Men should not wear a hat or cap inside the church building. No one should wear sunglasses in the church unless for health reasons. 9. Please try to have your offering prepared before you get to church and ready to put in the basket at the appropriate time. How much to give is left to your discretion, as we are not bound by the Old Testament laws of tithing, but are bound, as a precept of the Church, to support the Church. We ask that you please use your offertory envelopes or indicate your parishioner number in the memo of your checks. 10. When in doubt, ASK! Our greeters, Mass Coordinators, Ushers and Sacristans are happy to help!
Thank You, for your Cooperation!
Infirm Priests Next week’s special collection will benefit Infirm Priests. Money from the Infirm Priests Collection provides for the long-term funding needed by the welfare fund, to enhance the monthly benefits to our retired priests in perpetuity and to assist in the special health care needs of the infirm and retired priests of our diocese.
Doors to Freedom The St. John the Beloved Women’s Club will be participating in a Deanery wide project this summer called Doors to Freedom. This organization was established to provide a safe place for survivors of sex trafficking to experience a transformed life. Their desire is to lovingly support each individual as she overcomes her traumatic past and receives total restoration: body, soul, and spirit. They are committed to providing a place, free of charge, for these women to call home. Through counseling, life skills training, vocational training and continuing education, she will find new life, restored hope and a beautiful future. The Women’s Club is asking the entire parish to become involved in this endeavor by donating the following requested items during the months of July, August, and September. A box will be placed in the Common for the collection with a poster listing the requested items. Please consider helping us in making a difference in the lives of these young women.

Ministry of Caring Recently we welcomed Srs. Leena and Theresa who represented the Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy as part of the annual Diocesan Mission Coop Appeal. Several of you asked how you might contact the sisters directly. Locally, they minister in West Ashley at the CarterMay Home, 1660 Ingram Road, Charleston 29407. They offer loving ministry of caring to several elderly men and women, as well as to resident retired priests. Their congregation official website is: hospitallersistersofmercygroup.org/cmswp On their behalf, they offer sincere thanks and fervent prayers for your generosity.
RCIA Classes to Begin this Fall Are you, or is someone you know, interested in becoming Catholic? Fall classes are forming for those who are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church. Through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), adults who have never been baptized or who have been baptized in another Christian tradition have the opportunity to study Catholicism in a group setting. Catholic adults who have never been confirmed are also invited to this series of classes. The first session will be held Sunday morning, October 7th from 10:30am-12:00pm in Madden Hall. There is no need to pre-register, and “significant others” are welcome to attend with the participants. For more information, call Bryan Burnett or Father Jacob at the Parish Office at 843-873-0631. Hope to see you there!

Scripture Reflection
he First Reading from the prophet Ezekiel tells of how Ezekiel was called by God. The Lord speaks to him and says, “Hard of face and obstinate of heart are they to whom I am sending you.” God knew He was not giving Ezekiel an easy task, but that is part of what being called by the Lord sometimes involves. Being called is something to which we often make reference, as each of us is called in Baptism. St. Paul once wrote that we are “called to belong to Jesus Christ.” The United States Bishops issued a document a few years ago titled ”Disciples Called to Witness.” That is what we are all to do as baptized Catholics. The Bishops say, “To create a culture of witness, we must live explicit lives of discipleship. Being a disciple is a challenge. Fortunately, one does not become a disciple of Christ on his or her own initiative. The work of the Holy Spirit within the Christian community forms the person as a disciple of Christ.” God does not forsake us when we are called, just as He did not abandon Ezekiel. He is with us through the Holy Spirit to strengthen us and assist us. We must allow the Lord to help us. At the same time, we must strive to be disciples of the Lord. We are called to spread the light of the Gospel in everything we do.
