Dear Parishioners,� � � � � � � � � +JMJ�

In Familiaris Consortio, in the section called, Bright Spots and Shadows for the Family Today �

Pope Saint John Paul II wrote:�

Christian spouses and parents can and should offer their unique and irreplaceable

contribution to the elaboration of an authentic evangelical discernment in the various

situations and cultures in which men and women live their marriage and their family life (FC

5).�

In this section of his document, the Pope points out the many good aspects and bad aspects of society today

that respectively build up and tear down family life and love. The good aspects are such things as lively

awareness of each person’s freedom, increasing attention to the� dignity of women, and concern for

education.�The bad aspects are such things as widespread misunderstanding of what freedom means,

mistaken ideas about the independence of spouses from each other, disordering of authority between parents

and their children, growing occurrence of divorce and abortion, and ready acceptance of artificial contraception.�

Perhaps the Pope’s most important insight from the previous paragraph is his mention of the widespread

misunderstanding of “freedom.” In popular understanding today, “freedom” means a person can do whatever he

or she desires at a given moment: a person does not have to consider whether a given action would hurt others

or whether it might be contrary to human nature, contrary to what is truly upbuilding physically, psychologically,

or spiritually. For example, some segments of society would promote pornography, saying that a person ought

to be “free” to choose what he or she wants to read for personal entertainment. The Catholic understanding

here is that pornography is actually harmful to a person psychologically and spiritually: it is contrary to God’s

purpose and design for the human mind and sexual faculties, and therefore it is also harmful. The ultimate

freedom is to be able to live one’s humanity to the fullest; and this is the same thing as living one’s humanity

most perfectly according to God’s intention, his creation. Anything a person does contrary to God’s plan for

humanity actually robs a person of freedom. A person becomes more of a slave, less free. There is no such

thing as a person who could be more free living contrary to God’s plan.�So the popular concept of freedom and

the true Catholic understanding of freedom sometimes directly� are opposed to each other. And this popular

understanding of “freedom” is often at the root of much of the way society at large approaches family life today.�

So the Pope’s quote at the beginning of this article explains that parents and spouses must be discerning as

they raise their families. Parents and spouses allow their faith to help them take a discerning look at all the

aspects of their family life in order to choose activities and lifestyles that make the family and individuals in a

family truly “free”. Couples and spouses who would simply let the media and secular organizations of society

determine their family values and lifestyle may be headed for trouble. Remember that our Lord said, “You will

know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Further, he said, “I am ... the truth...”(John 14:6). Let

your knowledge of� Jesus Christ, his Holy Spirit within you, help you to guide your family’s life according to the

Father’s plan. The Holy Spirit can use the Bible and Church teaching to build your knowledge.��

Notice that the Pope calls the role of parents and spouses in this whole discernment “unique and

irreplaceable.”�The Pope puts great confidence in parents and spouses. Your pastors help with such gifts as

the sacraments and prayer and teaching. But you parents and spouses have a role that pastors can never

replace. You have an insight about what it takes to live Catholic family life today that is unique. And your loving,

faith�filled, discerning presence in your home is really where the rubber hits the road. An article in the bulletin

written by a priest is simply words �� words pointing to the Truth. Living the Truth is what counts!� Your living out

of the Truth, living your family life close to Jesus Christ, brings your family and those around you to true

“freedom”. And in the meantime you can teach by your example a priest concretely how a Catholic family lives

the Truth today, how you have lived for Jesus uniquely in your home. Let us work together to add what we can

to the building up of family life.�

[This is the second letter in my Familiaris Consortio series to couples in marriage preparation.]�

In cordibus Iesu, Mariae et Josephus,�

Father Poggemeyer�

CATECHISM CORNERCATECHISM CORNERCATECHISM CORNERCATECHISM CORNER "What the soul is to the human body,

the Holy Spirit is to the Body of Christ,

which is the Church." "To this Spirit of

Christ, as an invisible principle, is to

be ascribed the fact that all the parts

of the body are joined one with the

other and with their exalted head; for

the whole Spirit of Christ is in the

head, the whole Spirit is in the body,

and the whole Spirit is in each of the

members." The Holy Spirit makes the

Church "the temple of the living God":��

Indeed, it is to the Church herself that

the "Gift of God" has been

entrusted.... In it is in her that

communion with Christ has been

deposited, that is to say: the Holy

Spirit, the pledge of incorruptibility, the

strengthening of our faith and the

ladder of our ascent to God.... For

where the Church is, there also is

God's Spirit; where God's Spirit is,

there is the Church and every grace.

More on Mass Ministries�

Where Might You Be Called to Serve?�

Ushers and Greeters: Four years ago,

you may remember hearing about the

beatification of Fr. Solanus Casey. A

simplex priest in the religious order of

the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, Fr.

Casey resided in Detroit at Saint

Bonaventure Monastery for over twenty

years. (Simplex priests were not able to

hear confessions nor were they able to

preach doctrinal sermons.) During his time at Saint Bonaventure, he served as the porter�the doorkeeper or receptionist.

The office of porter used to be the first of seven orders or steps toward priesthood. A porter’s jobs were to lock and unlock the

church, ring the bell tower to call the faithful to worship, and open the doors for their brothers and sisters as they entered. In

monastic life, the porter would greet visitors to the monastery and relay messages. Above all, the porter served as the face of

the church or monastery and he was to treat each person he encountered as if he was meeting Jesus. The list of canonized or

beatified porters continues to grow. It is from the order of porter that we get our ministry of ushers and greeters. Have you

ever considered being a greeter or an usher? If you are extroverted and love talking to people, consider this vitally important

ministry of our parish. Ushers and greeters are generally the first people, visitors and parishioners alike, encounter. That first

impression for a visitor could mean a new member of our parish family! Greeters and ushers arrive approximately 25�30

minutes prior to Mass. If you want to learn more, we are having an Usher and Greeter Enrichment Day on Sunday, October

17 between the 8 & 11 AM Masses. And who knows?�Maybe you will be the next canonized “porter” in the Church!�

Parish Choir: Our Parish Choir is always looking to add to our ranks, especially men’s voices! Open to all in the parish

of high school age or older, the choir sings at the 8:00 AM Mass on the first, third, and fourth Sundays of the month and at the

11:00 AM Mass on the second Sunday of the month. The choir also sings for most holydays and other special liturgies

throughout the liturgical year. Repertoire ranges from Gregorian chant to contemporary choral pieces. Practices are mostly on

Wednesday evenings from 6:30�8:00 PM in the choir room. As I noted last week with bells, the ability to read music is not

required to join. You will never be forced to sing a solo. Please consider giving choir a try!�

Instrumentalists: If you play a wind instrument such as flute, clarinet, trumpet, etc., or a string instrument like violin,

viola, or cello, it would be wonderful to add some instrumentation with the choir every week (or even an instrument when there

is only a cantor). This is a great opportunity for students to get some extra playing time on their instrument! �

Contemporary Ensemble: The contemporary ensemble ministers at the 11:00 AM Mass on the first and third Sunday

of each month plus some holydays and other special liturgies. Repertoire ranges from chant to contemporary Christian music.

Currently, we have four vocalists, a guitarist, a pianist, and a clarinetist. We can always add more voices or other

instrumentation. Practices are on the first Thursday of each month from 5:30�6:15 PM in the choir room. As noted above,

reading music is not a necessity and you will never be forced to sing a solo. If this group sounds right for you, please consider

giving it a try. Our next practice is on October 7 at 5:30 PM.�

Being involved in the Music Ministry is extremely rewarding and it is a wonderful way to give your talent back to our Lord. I

hope to see some new faces in our practices soon. As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the

Music Ministry or any other Liturgical Ministry. May God bless you!
