THE HOLY SHROUD: THE NEW EVIDENCE OF AUTHENTICITY St. Joseph Catholic Church Wednesday, October 12th, 2016 6:30 7:30 P.M. Admission is Free No cloth in history has been so studied as the Holy Shroud. Nor has any cloth so caught the fascination and reverence of the world. Is it the ancient burial cloth of Jesus, a Visual Gospel providing in its fabric the story of His passion and resurrection? What do modern blood and DNA studies reveal? Are there images of flowers and pollen on the Shroud that trace its history? What do pathologists say about the wounds and the weapons that created them? These questions as well as new forensic scientific and historical evidence are discussed in this free 1 hour intriguing presentation supporting the authenticity of the Shroud presented with many colorful PowerPoint slides. About the Presenter: John C. Iannone is a Catholic writer and lecturer who studied the Holy Shroud since 1978. In 1998 he was invited by Cardinal Saldarini to closely view the Shroud for an extended period. He published 3 books on the Shroud including The Mystery of the Shroud of Turin: The Case for Authenticity (2013) and done over 330 lectures at Churches and Universities of all denominations around the US, Canada and Rome. Having earned an MA at the Catholic University in Religious Studies, he did additional work at Fordham and Union Theological Seminary in NY. Mr. Iannone has done television programs on EWTN and PBS-New Orleans as well as many radio broadcasts including a talk on Vatican Radio as Pope Francis closed out the Shroud Exhibition in 2015. He recently presented at St. Patrick s Cathedral with support of Msgr. Robert T. Ritchie (Rector) and Him Eminence Cardinal Timothy Dolan. 463 St. Joseph Church Page 3

Only one Godfather or one Godmother or one of each (Canon 873). 2. To help the baptized person to lead a Catholic Christian life in keeping with baptism and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it (Canon 872). - A mature Catholic who will establish a lifelong faith relationship and be willing to walk with the child in their faith journey. - A Catholic role model for the child. 3. A Catholic who is at least 16 years old (Canon 874, 1, 2 ) and has received already the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist and who leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on (Canon 874, 1, 3 ). 4.

If the Godparent is married, the marriage must be a valid and recognized marriage in the Catholic Church. 7. Cannot be the father or mother of the one to be baptized (Canon 874, 1, 5 ). 8.

ROLE OF A GODPARENT "Whenever a person is baptized, as an infant, as a child, or as an adult, there should be at least one person present who will act as sponsor for the one being baptized. The sponsor, commonly referred to as one's godmother or godfather, accepts the responsibility of helping the person grow in the Catholic faith. One who acts as a sponsor for an infant or child agrees to help the parents teach their child about the faith and how to live as a practicing Catholic."
