		<description><![CDATA[Why do some dioceses move holy days, or not even celebrate them at all. Doesn&#8217;t everyone do the same thing? The short answer is no, not everyone does the same thing. Although the church is universal, there are many local customs and saints that each country, sometimes just a region, will honor. For example, feast days and patronal days may not be major feast days on the church&#8217;s universal calendar, but are celebrated as such in one place. Holy days of obligation are the same way. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has a certain amount of discretion in choosing days which best reflect the local church&#8217;s experience and history. Another reason certain feasts are moved is a practical one. With limited clergy, or a great difficulty for people to get to Mass, the feast day may be transferred to a Sunday. The rationale is that if a significant feast should be part of the church&#8217;s celebration, then better to do so on a Sunday when people and clergy are available, rather than try to fit it on a day when one or both cannot be there. Christmas and Immaculate Conception are always observed as days of obligation. In the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having entered the flu season our bishop, along with many other leaders in the church have asked to consider a few of the ritual practices of our liturgy; specifically the issue of exchanging the sign of peace, and sharing from the common cup. Let me begin my remarks by stating clearly that it is not a sin to miss mass when you are ill.  If you are ill please stay home and take care of yourself.  This will also help to prevent from giving whatever you have to others.  This draws our attention to another important consideration.  Avoiding the flu should not be seen as a  shunning or staying away from people who are sick.  It is about protecting yourself against infection.  Listen to the medical professionals and wash your hands frequently.  Sneeze or cough into your elbow.  If you are sick be courteous by staying away from others. Here at Nativity we have had the longstanding custom of receiving communion under both forms of bread and wine.  It is important to note that for many centuries no one was allowed to receive the precious blood except the clergy.  It has been the teaching of the Church that to receive [...]]]></description>
