Parish Announcements
The family of Marie “Rie” Strittmatter
would like to thank everyone for their
kindness, sympathy and prayers. We would
like to thank those who prepared, donated
food and helped with the meal for her
friends and family. Thank you to the choir for the music
and everyone who helped with the funeral service. We
would also like to thank Father Kennedy for a beautiful
Mass and his kind words about Aunt Rie.
The Family of Rie Strittmatter
In today’s Gospel Jesus sees the needs of the people. He
has them recline on the green grass, green pastures if you
will. He restores their strength with his food. This is not
just about loaves and fish. Jesus is performing a prophetic
action. He provides the banquet Psalm 23 spoke of, the
Banquet of the Lord. Those who eat this food will continue
to eat it in the House of the Lord forever. When we receive
communion, we share in the meal of the Kingdom of God. We
are united to people throughout the world and throughout
time who also share in this meal. Picture yourself at the
table on Thanksgiving Day. Around the table are all your
loved ones, including those who have passed on to the Lord
many years ago. This is the Banquet of the Lord we share
every time we receive communion.
How great is our God? He is so great that He has
created billions and billions of people in the world, and, yet,
has found a way to treat each person as an only child. How
great is our God? He is so great that He loves every person
here as though each of us were the only person He ever
created.
When we receive communion, we are present at the Last
Supper, the First Supper, the Banquet of the Lord. When we
receive communion we enter into the intimate union with
God that Jesus came to earth to provide.
How much our God cares for us! He has found a way to
nourish our spiritual lives. His very Body and Blood keeps
us strong. He gives us the strength to proclaim his Kingdom.
We need to ask ourselves at communion time: "What am
I doing?" Am I just following the crowd? Hopefully not. Am
I receiving some sort of blessing? Hopefully, we realize that
communion is much more than a blessing. What is it that I
am doing when I receive communion? I am receiving the
Food that God provides.
Today we pray for a deeper appreciation, a deeper
reverence for the great gift of Love that is the Eucharist.
Fr. Tom Kennedy
Capital Campaign Update Approximately $41K has been donated since the June report. This
brings the total donated to $1,548,371. Last month we surpassed the Fall 2012 goal of $1.5M! This $1.5M was needed for renovations to
the Parish Center, Church, and REB, and for construction of the new classrooms. Thanks to your generosity we have accomplished
all of the above without any loans and should be moving into our new classrooms in the next month! We are now working to collect the additional $700K needed to cover the sports court, address the cemetery needs, repair and extend the parking lot, construct a new
rectory, and convert the existing rectory into parish offices. The building fund collection will be next week and all money collected
will go to this capital campaign as usual. If you have received a pledge envelope from the diocese, you may put it in the building
fund collection or mail to the diocese.
Father Tom will be beginning his rehabilitation soon.
If you are interested in assisting him by providing
meals, please call or text Sharon Pelzel 940-391-3697, or
