PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
(continued on Page 3)
Fr. John offered Mass with Fr. GeorgeSanders in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Going There to Contemplate the Hereby Fr. John Marconi
At the end of February I returned from my third pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the Land of Israel. Jacob, whose father was Isaac, the son of Abraham, would become knownas Israel. He, with his 12 sons, would spread out to claim the land flowing with Milk andHoney, this land is Holy.
For us in our Christian Faith, this land is Holy becauseit is where Jesus was born, where he spent most of hisyears. Born in Bethlehem, baptized in the river Jordan,and reared in Nazareth, He began His public ministryfrom the shores of Galilee, to His suffering, passion,death and resurrection in Jerusalem. At Pentecost, theoutpouring of the Holy Spirit would send the Apostlesand Disciples of Jesus to the far corners of the earthspreading the Good News. It is Holy Land because Godestablished His covenants, His presence with His people,and it is where He chose out of love to become one ofus in all things but sin, to be the Way, the Truth and theLife.
It is a blessing to travel, to be a pilgrim in the HolyLand. To be in and see these places where all theevents of our faith took place. However, mostimportantly since we believe in Jesus and in Hispresence in our midst, we know wherever we are,God is There, in the Here and Now. So whereverwe are, no matter where our pilgrimage of faith hasand will leads us, here at this moment because ofJesus, all places can be a places of Holiness, sacredplaces to experience and encounter the Living God.
One place in the Holy Land where this gracetouched me again is Mount Tabor, known for the

O Jesus, I pray for Yourfaithful and ferventpriests; for Yourunfaithful and tepidpriests; for Your priestslaboring at home orabroad in distant missionfields; for Your temptedpriests; for Your lonelyand desolate priests; forYour young priests; forYour dying priests; forthe souls of Your priestsin purgatory.
But above all,I recommend to Youthe priests dearestto me; the priest whobaptized me; the priestswho absolved me frommy sins; the priests atwhose masses Iassisted and who gaveme Your Body and Bloodin Holy Communion; thepriests who taught andinstructed me; all thepriests to whom I amindebted in any otherway. O Jesus, keep themall close to Your heart,and bless them abun-dantly in time and ineternity. Amen.

Transfiguration. In celebrating the Mass, the prayers stated, Here Jesus was transfiguredbefore Peter, James and John. It is humbling to be in the place where this event of ourfaith took place. Or again, in Nazareth, in the Church of Annunciation, Here the angelGabriel appeared to Mary. While praying the creed is proclaimed, Here the Word ofGod became flesh. It was humbling to be in this Holy Place where the mystery of theIncarnation began.
It is very humbling to pray in these Holy Places, yet isn’t it true that the Lord is withus, and where God is, it is Holy. We don’t have to go to the Holy Land to experience thepresence of Jesus. Here at Our Lady of Holy Souls, around the Altar, near the Tabernacle- Jesus is Here. And just as Mary said yes to the God and the Holy Spirit, our yes is justas important to bring Jesus presence here and now.

Grateful Stewards of God’s Gifts . . .by Laura G. Humphries, CT
Parish Life & Stewardship Director
They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. Weaving acrown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. Andkneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spatupon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head. And when they hadmocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and ledhim off to crucify him. Matthew 27: 28-31
I read a story recently about a teacher who donated a kidney to one of her formerstudents. This tremendous act of selflessness came about because the young person hadlost most of the function of his kidneys due to an illness. Literally, that teacher gave thegift of life to someone who wasn’t her own child or another family member. This iscertainly radical stewardship. How far would you go to give of yourself so that anothermight live? Would you have to love him or her like your own child or parent? No one candeny it would be a difficult decision, especially if you’re giving put your own health atrisk.
Reflecting on these things helps to provide some perspective on the crucifixion ofJesus. Not only did he suffer tremendously at the hands of the Romans, he gave his lifefor us so we might live forever. What does true stewardship look like? The cross is asymbol to us of total surrender. When we are called to give of ourselves in ordinary waysin daily life, we sometimes hesitate and think twice. Perhaps we are unsure, we shouldlook to the cross and there we can find our strength. And then when the call comes totruly sacrifice and place our trust in God, we may have already developed a lifestyle thatmakes responding, “Yes,” that much easier.
An excerpt from Everyday Stewardship, Living An Extraordinary Life
I have to admit that I use the phrase “we should look to the cross and there we canfind our strength” with my grandchildren when they whine about doing something that ishard or painful. It sometimes works and sometimes not. When I look at the cross and seeJesus there, I feel pain and sorrow that he had to die for us and in such a horrific way. Itcertainly is a motivating factor for me to be a better person, a better Catholic.
Being good stewards is a calling, a responsibility as Catholic Christians. We mustanswer our call with a resounding “YES”. There are obvious ways that we can answer.We need Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers and Lectors at Mass. These are ministries that wecan fill when we come to Mass. It is easy to train, all we need to do is make an appoint-ment and it can happen. If you are a Catholic in good standing and attend Mass everyweekend, please call the church office and make an appointment to train to become aminister. We need you. This doesn’t require too much of a sacrifice, but it does requiregiving of yourself.
Encounter Jesus, Serve Others

The programis welcoming to all women irrespective of faith background, age or marital status. Itincorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion and monthly talkson relevant study material.
Some feedback from the 2018-2019 season of Walking with Purpose is as follows:
• “This is my second year with WWP. I really enjoy it very much. It has surprisedme, that when we are on Christmas, spring break or summer vacation how muchI miss it. I feel like something is missing.”
• “This study came at a time in my life when I really had a lot of serious sufferingand struggles. I know the timing was perfectly God’s and I really needed this joltin my personal relationship with Jesus.”
• “I enjoy having mixed generations in the groups and learning from each other.I’ve grown to really love all the ladies in my group.”
Touching the Divine, a study of the Gospel ofJohn, will be our focus for the coming study.Registration for the next session will be in August andthe first Connect Coffee Talk will be Wednesday,September 4th at 6pm (Evening Session) and Thursday,September 5th at 8:30am (Morning Session). Watchthe church bulletin or contact [email protected] formore information.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:The old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

A New Paradigm on the HorizonHoly Souls School has always been committed to offering a faith-filled environment
while striving for academic excellence. With great intention, the teachers and studentsare dedicated to instilling timeless values while embracing progressive teaching strategies. Balancing timeless and timely instruction is a top priority.
In an effort to achieve this balance the school is making two major enhancementsfor the 2019-2020 school year. Both of which intend to better meet the social, emotional,and academic needs of all students at Holy Souls School.
Moving forward a transformation of the traditional library and computer lab willtake place. Both capacities add value to the education of our students, however as wesee a shift in technology use and research, it only makes sense to prioritize the expectationsand purpose of these areas. We will be combining the library and the computer labbeginning in the 2019-2020 school year to make way for our new Innovative MediaCenter. Barbie Johnston will be transitioning out of her role as a 2nd Grade teacher, andwill be the new Media Specialist. We are eager to see the growth this brings to alllearners.
Our second priority for the 2019-2020 school year, is to establish and implement aSocial and Emotional Learning Curriculum for Prek-8th Grades. Social and emotionallearning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manageemotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establishand maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Emotionalintelligence skills are key for academic and lifelong success. By integrating socialemotional learning (SEL) as a central pillar of our school, the students and educatorswill develop and practice emotional intelligence skills. Attention to SEL helps everyonein a school setting develop 21st century skills for deepening awareness, choice, andpurpose. SEL helps to create a school climate that is a great place to learn. To date wehave implemented an on-site therapy dog, Dude! He visits our school each Monday andtours the classrooms. He also mingles with the students while playing at recess. In theupcoming year our school will adopt the Conscious Discipline model. ConsciousDiscipline is an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to classroom management.It provides an array of behavior management strategies and classroom structures thatteachers can use to turn everyday situations into learning opportunities.
We feel strongly that with the implementation of both enrichments, our school’smission will only beenhanced. Our goal isto continually build onthe rich, 100-yearfoundation, that manyhave worked tirelesslyto create. Together, wewill continue to provideoutstanding educationalopportunities andacademic excellencethrough Christ for all ofour students.

Goodbyes aren’t always FarewellsBy Samantha Denefe
Over the last several months the Lord has been showing me a specific image duringmy prayer time. It’s an image of a field. It’s large with beautiful rust colored soil, alreadytilled and worked through. At the edge of the field are ploughs hooked up to the horsesand ready to go, with people standing next to them. Soon it will be time to plough andplant the seeds.
As you have probably heard by now, I am stepping down as Director of Evangelizationand Faith Formation. God is calling me to spend more time in my primary vocation aswife and mother. This discernment has been a long process with lots of tears. I love thisjob and community, but God is calling me to be home more. Over the last four years myprayer has consistently been “Lord make us a City on a Hill, a light for the world to see”and I sense God is doing and about to do even more amazing things in this community.
While my job here was to prep the soil, God is calling someone new to this positionto help plant the seeds. You, who are taking the time to read this, I feel He may be callingyou to help with this next step is parish renewal.
Over the last four years we have implemented small faith communities throughEvangelical Catholic programs, the Sunday Series, Walking with Purpose, Prayer Retreats,Alpha, and worked with our leadership on assessing our current culture. There has beenso much spiritual growth and fruit. I gave all I could to the Lord in this job, and haveloved it so much. Now He is calling me to give all I can as a wife, mother, and parishionerat Holy Souls.
Thank you for walking with me on my faith journey, and allowing me to walk withyou over the last four years. You have deeply impacted my life. I look forward to stillseeing you at Mass. Goodbye as your Director of Evangelization, hello as a fellowparishioner!

“Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good” Romans 12:21

By Denise Dumars, Coordinator of Youth Ministry
The events of this past spring included the CYMStations of the Cross, the St. Patrick’s Dance, a Sun-day brunch event followed by a Scavenger Hunt,Tiny Saints fundraising, our annual Seder Dinnerand Senior Farewell. We have added some newgames to our collection at the Benedict House andhave had fun learning and playing them together.While the spring sailed by smoothly, the youth andCore Team tested and tweaked Life Teen for ourgroup. We are looking forward to the summer monthsand all our activities!
With finals around the corner, the BenedictHouse was open that week (May 20, 21, & 22) forthe teens to once again come prepare. “Coffee andCramming” provided a cozy place to study and havesome snacks while providing WiFi. Now, it’s on tothe summer!
May 29 we welcomeed the upcoming freshmento an evening of icebreakers and the chance to mixand mingle as well as pray together at the BenedictHouse (6-8 pm). The freshmen has the opportunityto sign up for Buffalo Float Trip and the McGeheeMission Trip.
The Buffalo Float Trip has a retreat/camp at-mosphere. Fr. Neil Pezzulo, a Glenmary priest fromCincinnati, Ohio once again joined us and provideddaily Mass. We have a few hikes prepared, explor-ing in a cave, as well as the actual day of floating onthe Buffalo River.

history as well as faith sharing experience.Also in the works is attending the
Steubenville Conference in Springfield, Mis-souri. Though we attended the Dallas one lastyear, the venue and accommodations are muchbetter at the Missouri State University Cam-pus, and that really plays a significant role inthe spiritual experience. We will be travelingwith Immaculate Conception Parish in mid-July.
A mission trip is also in the works for NewOrleans, Louisiana. Many of the teens haven’tbeen to this part of the world, so besides ex-periencing the fruits of service, the differentculture will also provide a learning experience.Most of our work will be indoors (it’ll be July!),and we will receive evening spiritual directionfrom Sister Teresa Daly, a Vincentian Daugh-ter of Charity, who had spent some time work-ing in Arkansas. We also have a day of funplanned!
Six teens will be attending a week longLife Teen Camp in early August in Tiger, Geor-gia. The experience should be awesome andincludes some white water rafting.
Between all these events, be sure to checkthe bulletin for local service opportunities withCYM, game and movie nights, as well as lookinto the programs organized by our Diocese.C2Si, July 8-12 provides 9-12 graders thechance to learn about Catholic social justiceteachings as well as gain hands-on experienceworking in our community. There is also aSEARCH Retreat June 28-30.
Please pray for our teens and our adultvolunteers. Pray also for those teens whoaren’t involved in the Catholic Youth Ministryprogram that they are encouraged by theirfamilies and friends to be a part of the Bodyof Christ here at Holy Souls.

UPDATESBy Caroline France, President
Altar Society has had a great year, with our wine tasting in January, and anothersuccessful Mardi Gras event in the books! We also relaxed and sipped margaritas whileplaying games over Spring Break with a game night where the ladies’ guessing, and clue-giving skills were put to the test during “Fish Bowl”.
In April, Laura Woford presented her beautiful Divine Mercy painting to our group,along with a short background and devotional. Please be on the lookout for her piece inthe church sanctuary, which has been generously donated by Laura and her family, inhopes that our Parish never forgets the loving mercy that God is continuously showeringdown on each of us.
Please join us for our next meeting on September 17, 2019 at 6:30pm in the ParishHall. We hope to see you all there!

layettes.

Parish Hallon the following dates:

Even if you can’t staythe entire time,we welcome

You Are Made to Make a DifferenceEmbrace every opportunity to do so.
By: Regina Binz and Mary Sue Whitelaw
Giving is not just about making a donation. It’s about making a difference. And,that’s what giving to Holy Sews is all about – making a difference. A mother whoreceived one of our layettes for her baby boy born too soon shared the following testimonywith us:
“I wanted to reach out to you and say thank you for what you do. You not only gave myson something but you gave me something as well. My son was born on 4/24/19 butwas born sleeping. He was 19 weeks. What you do is absolutely beautiful. We get nobirth certificate because he was born sleeping; he gets no death certificate because he istoo small. He did receive what you had made and it touched my heart unbelievably so.It might not seem like much to some but it was everything to me. Thank you.”
So, to those of you who gave in someway to our April Showers campaign - be itthread, fabric, trim, a gift card – yourgesture made a difference. Thank you forbelieving in our mission and for steppingup to our table to take a raindrop off ofthe tree and return it in the form of atreasured gift. We are grateful.
Holy Sews was recently the recipientof a $1,250 grant from First Electric Trustas a part of their Operation Round-Up charitable donation program. Regina Binz, CindyStabnick, Sarah Alexander and Mary Sue Whitelaw met with members of First Electric’smarketing department recently for a check presentation. Regina told her story and webrought layettes to show them exactly what they are funding. They were so impressedwith the Holy Sews mission that they encouraged us to apply every year.
We continue to sew with lovein every stitch and we sow theblessings of knowing thatsomewhere in one of over 400hospitals that we serve, with thehelp of our volunteers, donors andsupporters, we have all partneredtogether to ease someone’s distress,to bring some semblance ofcomfort, to dress someone’sprecious baby with honor anddignity, and to make a difference.
