Take the GR Quest #5 and You May Win a Flip Camera

Answer these questions in the comment area below by September 30. We will post the winning entry soon after and announce the winner!

Fr. Daniel Whelan is a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville, KY, now serving in the parishes of Holy Cross and Emmanuel Catholic Churches in the southern Kentucky missions. Prior to becoming a priest, Fr. Daniel was a school teacher in both middle and high schools. Besides his normal duties as a priest--which he loves--some other activities he likes are mountain biking (even when it's muddy), snow skiing (even when I'm falling), and playing the piano (even when my cats may not appreciate the noise).

Test your knowledge of the Catholic faith and learn something along the way! Fr. Daniel Whelan, known as  Padre Dan to some, will challenge you with 5 questions each month. Send us your answers in the comment area below this entry by September 30 and you may be the winner!
  1. On September 29, the Church celebrates the feast of the Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.  Traditionally, how many choirs of angels are there and list them from highest to lowest? What is a “choir” of angels?
  2. On September 13, whose feast day is celebrated?  What does his second name mean and why was it given to him?
  3. We are a Church of Scripture and Tradition.  What biblical scholar, who gave us the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible, said, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ?”  When is his feast day celebrated?  Of what occupation is he the patron saint?
  4. As of this posting date the official World Youth Day site http://www.madrid11.com/JMJ2011ESP/REVISTA/cabecerasypies/PreHome.asp comes to us in 18 languages. What are they?
  5. A non-Catholic friend wants to know about St. Pio of Pietrelcina, whose feast day is September 23.  The one thing he does not understand is the stigmata that St. Pio had.  In a few sentences, explain to your friend what is the stigmata and why St. Pio had it.

Share your answers below in the comment area and you may win this month’s prize–a Flip camera! You may only enter once.  We will contact the winner and will post the winning entry by Oct. 1.

    1.Traditionally there are nine choirs of angels. From highest to lowest they are,
    Seraphim
    Cherubim
    Thrones
    Dominations
    Principalities
    Powers
    Virtues
    Archangels
    Angels

    We believe that angels are divided into groups or ‘choirs’. Each choir has a distinct power and duty that sets it apart from the others.

    2.On September 13, the feast day of a great doctor of the Church, St. John Chrysostom is celebrated.
    His second name means “golden mouthed” it was given to him because of his eloquence in preaching and public speaking.

    3.St.Jerome said “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ”
    His feast day is celebrated on the 30th of September.
    He is the patron saint of Translators.

    5.We say that someone has the stigmata when the same physical wounds that Jesus had on His hands and feet appear on that person, they also suffer the same pain that Jesus had from His wounds. This happens to people who are very close to God. Padre Pio was one of those people. He was a very holy man and was willing to suffer a great deal for Jesus.
