Churches Announce Observance Of Rogation The Episcopal Churches of upper Susquehanna County have announced their observances for Rogation on Sunday, May 9. The observances will include the singing of the Great Litany while blessing the grounds of the churches and blessing of plants as a symbol of the call to be stewards of the earth. Services are at 9:00 a.m. in Montrose and Susquehanna and at 11:00 a.m. in New Milford. The Rev’d Paul Walker will officiate and preach at the service in Montrose, and The Rev’d Randy Webster will officiate and preach at the services in Susquehanna and New Milford. The word Rogation comes from the Latin verb “rogare,” which means “to ask.” In the western church the Rogation days were certain prescribed days of prayer and fasting in the early summer, associated with intercession especially for the harvest. In England the “Minor Rogations” were kept on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the Feast of the Ascension, forty days after Easter. The outdoor Rogation processions were suppressed in England in 1547, but under Elizabeth I the Royal Injunctions of 1559 ordered the perambulation of the parish at Rogationtide. In a society that was largely agrarian based, praying for crops and livestock was an important event; the loss of either could mean the difference between life and death for a village. The Great Litany of 1544, while it could be prayed at other times prior to processions, was only prescribed to be used on the minor Rogation days. The occurrence must have taken great importance in the then largely agrarian society. The Second Book of Homilies contains two homilies for Rogationtide. In the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 the three minor Rogation Days were ordered to be observed as “days of fasting and abstinence” within the Great Fifty Days of Easter. The Episcopal churches are inclusive community churches in the Anglican tradition, and are located at 60 Church Street in Montrose, at 115 Main Street in New Milford, and at 1107 West Main Street in Susquehanna.
The holy day of “The Ascension of the Lord,” Thursday, May 13, will be celebrated at the Holy Name of Mary Church, Montrose, with a vigil mass on Wednesday, May 12, at 7:00 p.m. Masses on the holy day, Thursday, May 13, will be at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Father Gerard Safko serves as Pastor of Holy Name of Mary Church.
Randy Lee Webster will present a recital of organ works on Sunday, May 16 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, located at 60 Church Street in Montrose. The program will include Prelude and Fugue in C Major by J.S. Bach and the Sonata No. 1 in f minor by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Father Webster is the parish priest at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in New Milford and Christ Church in Susquehanna. Webster received his education at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, studying with Dr. Marilyn Stulken and at the Eastman Conservatory in Rochester, New York, studying with Dr. Michael Messina and Dr. Jon Bodinger.
