Lessons Learned from My Sons by Bill Alt, Campus Minister

It took me four days to become a father. On a Thursday morning,

Angie and I went to the hospital expecting to be holding our first

child by evening. We had planned on giving birth in the alternative

birthing center with minimal medical intervention- a comfortable

queen size bed, birthing balls, and a pool-like tub. Oh, you can plan

all you want but life will happen otherwise!

Thursday gave way to Friday and Friday moved into Saturday and

still no baby. I was amazed at the level of pain my wife could

tolerate barely interrupting our card games as a contraction rolled

over her. The alternative birthing center was long forgotten and she

was now attached to every device and monitor. Finally, on Saturday

night, she was given an epidural so she could sleep. The next

morning, by cesarean, she gave birth to our beautiful son Jacob.

I often comment that those four days in the hospital waiting for

Jacob was one of the most profound and intimate moments I have

spent with Angie but the implications of that intimacy and what it

means to be a father has taken every day since to learn. That is

how it goes-love learned over and over again across a lifetime.

Patrick has since joined his brother Jacob and the two of them

teach me every day how to love, how to experience and cherish

God in all things.

I have learned from my boys to always say everything with gusto.

They live their lives at high volume and, though it is not always

appropriate, I appreciate their exuberance? I have learned that you

don’t need music to dance and that dancing is always good. Life is

full of joy.

My boys have taught me to make the world smile. We need

kindness and compassion. They help me realize that we are meant

to carry each other, to lift each other’s burdens, and hold each other

close in our arms. We are called to work for justice and to embrace

the joys and sorrows of the world.

Because of my sons, I know there is nothing wrong with asking for

more. We have to ask for what we need but we also must share

what we have. We look for the fullness of life.

There are so many more lessons- Dads are needed (but Moms make

everything better), a lap is the best seat in the house, and sleep is

good. Yet, the most important lesson has been “Do not be afraid.” It

is a lesson that I have to constantly relearn. I am so often like the

apostles in the gospel terrified by the raging storm, fearful that the

boat will sink. I know that my anxiety does no one good and only

causes everyone agitation. My sons remind me in their simple way

to be more like Jesus, to trust that the sea will be calmed and the

boat will make it to shore. God is in control and love is real. All we

can do is stand in awe and wonder. Thank you Jacob and Patrick for

teaching me this lesson; thank you for teaching me to be a dad.

RCIA: Invite someone you know Many people decide to explore the Catholic faith because a friend or family member offered an invitation. Sometimes, it’s just a friendly suggestion that causes someone to be interested in checking out Mass or learning more.

St. Augustine reminds us, “Our hearts are restless until they find rest in you.” Deep in our hearts, we have a longing to be closer to God, but we aren’t always sure how to make that happen.

If you know someone who may be seeking a deeper knowledge of God’s peace, you can help:

Offer to attend Mass with them this summer.

Encourage them to stop by the parish office and speak with our RCIA leaders.

Better yet, come with them to learn more about RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults).

The RCIA journey at St. Mary Student Parish helps adults and students who are seeking a greater understanding of the Catholic faith, or those who want to complete some or all of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, First Eucharist).

There’s no pressure or obligation. Participants are welcome to explore and ask questions as they discern where God may be leading them. RCIA sessions will begin formally on Sept. 16, but inquirers are welcome to come in anytime to talk.

For more information, please contact:

Rita Zyber, RCIA assistant, rzyber@smspnewman.org or call 734-663-0557, Ext 230

or Fr. Eric Sundrup, SJ, esundrup@smspnewman.org or call 734-663-0557, Ext. 223

RCIA candidates pray as they celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at the Easter Vigil Mass in April.

LGOM at St. Mary’s 3rd Tuesday of the Month from 7-8:30 PM

The Lesbian and Gay Outreach Ministry (LGOM) is a group

sponsored by St. Mary Student Parish and meets monthly. Meetings

are private and confidential. As a diverse community of believers,

we respect each person as a unique reflection of God's presence in

our midst.

We commit ourselves to being a community of care, support,

formation, reconciliation, and witness to justice with and among gay

and lesbian persons, their parents, family members, and friends.

We teach that all love comes from God and focus on helping people

reconcile their faith with their orientation. We provide a safe space

for discussion, healing, and prayer. Together we reflect on Scripture

and listen to the lived experience of lesbian and gay persons and

their allies.

For more information, contact Mark at markthies@yahoo.com.

The Family Faith Formation program is for registered parish families

whose eldest child is in at least kindergarten and serves students

through the seventh grade academic year. Family Faith Formation is

a home-based catechesis that requires parents and children to

attend a monthly formation class (Sundays, October-May) and work

at home on lessons. The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First

Eucharist are typically completed in the 2nd grade year and it is

encouraged that children have received at least one year of faith

formation before their sacramental prep year.

Teen confirmation is for eighth grade students who have completed

the sacraments of baptism, reconciliation, and Eucharist. Our teen

confirmation program meets 2-3 times a month on Sunday

afternoons between October-May. Teens attend most sessions on

their own with some parental involvement at some of the

sessions. In addition to attending class, teens are required to

complete a faith formation text at home, complete 25 hours of

service, and attend a day-long retreat. It is recommended that teens

come to their confirmation preparation year with recent faith

formation experience.

More information and registration forms are available in the parish

office. Space is limited, so early registration is recommended.

For more information, please contact Karen Thomas at

734-663-0557 x234 or kbthomas@umich.edu

Weekly Offering Report as of June 7, 2015

June Wedding Banns

Kevin Wakefield McKinney & Margaret Loretta Mueller

June 27, 2015

Our 2015 DSA theme, “For Everything is From You, and What We

Give Is What We Have From You,” reminds us that we bring nothing

material into this world and we take nothing out of it. Everything we

have is a gift from God.

As Christian stewards we serve God out of love and gratitude for all

his gifts to us, knowing that it’s not how much we have, but what we

do with what we have, that is important. Sharing our financial

resources with others in need is a loving and just act –

a way of thanking God for all His blessings.

Our contributions to DSA allow our diocese to expand our efforts of

evangelization and social ministry well beyond what an individual or

a single parish could accomplish. The programs, ministries and

services funded by the DSA offer not only direct assistance to

individuals and families, but also to parishes and schools as they

carry out their missions in our 10 county diocese and beyond.

TO DATE, WE HAVE RAISED $34, 641 WHICH IS 47% OF OUR PARISH

GOAL OF $74, 613. As you prayerfully consider your gift to DSA,

allow yourself to be motivated by gratitude to God, making a

generous gift within your means, to the Lord for all the blessings in

your life. Thank you again for your generosity!
