Security is Becoming More and More Important for Parishes...
“If the world hates you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” St. John 15:18-9 DRB
"The battle, My child, will accelerate very shortly for there will not only be a great war of weapons of mankind, but it will be known soon throughout the world as a religious war." - Our Lady of the Roses August 21, 1974
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978
OSV.com reported on December 30, 2015:
St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Columbia, South Carolina, is welcoming pilgrims as they pass through a diocesan-designated Holy Door to pray and receive sacraments at the church. But not everyone comes to pray — a problem that involves both hospitality and security, according to pastor Father Gary Linsky.
Recently, the downtown parish has dealt with a rash of incidents, both disruptive and damaging. “We want to be welcoming, but it does sometimes make it a little more challenging,” he said.
Despite the problems, St. Peter’s opens its doors daily — including the Holy Door — as Pope Francis has asked all Catholic churches to do following recent terrorist attacks. St. Peter’s and other parishes are looking for ways to reach out to the stranger while maintaining safety at the same time. Some are working to identify visitors with less-than-friendly motives by training ushers and greeters, installing cameras, hiring security and monitoring entrances
‘Hand in glove’
Parishes should be ready to welcome visitors as they would welcome the Holy Family, said Mary Bosscher, a White Bear Lake, Minnesota-based administration consultant who has worked on security and other issues at many parishes in the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese.
“Our hearts should be an inn where we are welcoming Jesus and others, and our personal residence and our parish church (a spiritual home) are like an inn where we either welcome or don’t welcome people,” Bosscher said.
Most visitors come to a parish because they are looking for a new church, said Peter Johnson, founder of the Minneapolis-based Archway Defense, which offers on-site security training for churches. Visitors who come for other reasons may not comprehend or respect the church and how it operates.
At St. Olaf Catholic Church in downtown Minneapolis, parish operations director Don Grant sees hospitality and security as “hand in glove.” With the goals of welcoming everyone and also more effectively assisting visitors in need, the parish is opening its gathering space one morning a week to offer coffee, donuts and social service assistance. At the same time, the parish is assessing and upgrading its overall security, he said.
Taking responsibility
In a church facility, hospitality and security grow when parishioners and staff treat their parish like their home and take responsibility for it, Bosscher said.
“It’s a question, as church members, of treating [the parish like] our spiritual home and seeing ourselves as a spiritual family that is anxious to welcome new members,” she said.
When they see the parish as a spiritual family, parishioners and staff will be more aware of who is coming in and can better identify guests as those who want to participate and have a gentle attitude, Bosscher said.
Parishioners at St. Didacus in Sylmar, California, see the parish as their spiritual home, said Father Robert Garon, pastor of the large, suburban parish. Area gangs don’t bother the parish because gang members’ mothers are parishioners, he said.
Six years ago, a staff member defended the parish when someone tried to steal the tabernacle — including the pedestal to which it was attached. As the thief dragged the tabernacle toward his car, the 5-foot staff member yelled at him and hit him with her purse until he dropped it and ran away, Father Garon said.
Encouraging the members of the congregation to voice their security concerns is also a good idea, Johnson said. St. Didacus has benefited from the solutions parishioners have proposed, Father Garon said. “We should, as a church, be more aware of [security issues], because you have more people who have their eyes open regarding some of these things,” he said.
Policies and procedures
Factors contributing to effective hospitality and security include increasing order in parishes through essential basic policies and procedures, and ensuring common-ground understanding through clear communication, Bosscher said, adding that hospitality involves safety, cleanliness, order, good repair, the availability of clear information, and being both caring and vigilant.
Policies and procedures that improve both hospitality and security include being consistent with hours of operation, controlling who has building keys, monitoring traffic and controlling entrances, and training ushers and greeters to handle emergencies.
Hospitality in church communities should be appropriate for the time of day and for those who are invited, Bosscher said. Sunday morning hospitality will look different than that for evening faith formation or the school day.
As part of their hospitality plan, parishes should have a system for greeting newcomers, Johnson said. Bosscher added that providing a process to help staff identify and assist guests and determine their involvement or purpose at the location is important.
“If they are doing that kind of thing, then the parishioners are going to naturally become very aware of who is coming in and who’s going out, and visitors will feel known, noticed and welcomed on a personal and facility level,” Bosscher said.
Hospitality that truly welcomes the stranger will make hostile strangers feel uncomfortable, Bosscher said. Appropriate interaction between people is facilitated by security. “A thief doesn’t want to share fellowship and eat donuts with you.”
Be prepared
Parishes with good security also can be very welcoming, said Johnson, who added that effective ushers and greeters should be able to recognize cues that a visitor intends to do harm. They also should be able to provide reasonable mitigation of medical and other crises.
It is important to prepare for crisis situations through good hospitality, which includes having ushers, staff and leaders learn responses to five test cases, Bosscher said.
“Are we going to wait until we have an intruder and say, ‘What do we do now?’” Bosscher said. “Think ahead — plan ahead for hospitality — then you’re already put together for crisis.”
Parishes should evaluate the cost of improving hospitality, but Johnson said security enhancements are usually cost effective.
St. Peter’s parish in South Carolina undoubtedly will see many strangers pass through its Holy Door in the coming year, and leaders, staff and parishioners will be welcoming if not also watchful, Father Linsky said.
“We must keep the doors open and demonstrate to the world that Jesus’ arms on the cross and his own will were open and he received on the cross the suffering and sins of the world,” he said. “Our Church has to remain open as were his arms.”
EDITOR'S COMMENT: Catholic church buildings would
be protected if there are crucifixes on
the outside of all the outside doors. As time goes on more churches worldwide will be
attacked and burned. Encourage people to place crucifixes on their parish
churches. Maybe, they even could secretly put crucifixes at the top of
their parish church doors and save lost of life and/or the churches from being destroyed
from terrorists attacks.

Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, October 2, 1974

Bayside Prophecies...
http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
PERSECUTION
"All who continue in the battle ahead must accept martyrdom. It does not, My child, necessarily mean death of your body, but it will mean persecution. Stand fast in the faith. Keep the faith in the hearts of those you love. Extend your charity of heart to all of your brother and sisters throughout the world. Pray a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, October 2, 1974EXAMPLE OF THE SAINTS
"You must instruct and bring to your children the knowledge of your saints. Their example is in the light, My children. Those you have set up to idolize upon earth now are the creations of satan. You must accept and follow the example of your saints, those who have been given this honor by your holy Church. They, too, My child, did not win their crowns without trial, rejection, and often, martyrdom." -Jesus, June 5, 1975WASHED CLEAN
"The saints and those who were washed clean by the blood of martyrdom, they join all in Heaven crying for vengeance against deceitful mankind and the abominations that offend the Eternal Father--abominations in the House of God!" - St. Michael, September 13, 1974IN THE FEW
"Many martyrs, My child, shall come in the days ahead, and defenders of the Faith. Carry your crosses, My children, for those who will be saved shall be in the few." - Jesus, November 20, 1975IMMEDIATE ENTRANCE
"My children, are there so few who will suffer for the Faith? Are My children lost to the need for suffering and martyrdom for the Faith? Do you not understand, My children, that martyrdom means immediate entrance into Heaven. Is this not worth fighting for?" - Our Lady, November 20, 1978MANY GREAT SAINTS SHALL RISE
"Awaken now from your slumber and seek your return from your course of destruction by getting down upon your knees and praying in heartfelt, sincere prayer to the Eternal Father, to guide you back from your present road of destruction.
"Your countrymen have sought to silence the voice of My Mother throughout your world. You will not continue to silence the voice-boxes throughout the world, for you are sowing the seeds of your own destruction!
"Amen, amen, I say to you: unless mankind returns God the Eternal Father to his life, he will not have the years of two hands to count upon!
"The present generation, My child, shall pass through this crucible of suffering. Many great saints shall rise from this persecution.” – Jesus, June 5, 1975

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:
1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...
"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
"You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
"I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan. See: http://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , http://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and http://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!
