Fr. Brian’s Blarney Happy Easter

May the Blessings of Almighty God

be with you this Easter. Lent seemed

to fly by and Easter is now upon us. I

hope you will be able to enjoy the

Easter Season and rejoice that the

Good Lord Jesus has risen from the

dead.

It is fitting that Easter falls on April

Fool’s Day, in so far as Jesus in a

sense “out foxed” the enemy. What

was thought of as a great failure by

the world, became the ultimate bait

and switch. Jesus trades places with

us in order to reclaim us from the

Devil for God the Father. We have

been purchased by the Blood of the

Lamb.

Parish “Fun” Raiser

There were about 45 in attendance

on Sunday, March 25th for the last

“Fun” Raiser. There were over 60

that had called in to attend, but things

must have come up to interfere with

the day. The weather has not helped

things. I am also wondering if the

term “Fun” Raiser is scaring people

off, because it sounds too close to

“Fund” Raiser. A friend from my

deaconate assignment and even my

mom asked me how the “fund” raiser

went. I had to correct them. Sorry if

this scared you off. The purpose is to

add social events and family friendly

events to the parish to help others to

socialize and meet new parishioners or

even long-term parishioners that have

not been able to attend other events.

Well… the 45ish that were in

attendance witness a wonderful

concert given by the McCutchen

Sisters (and their dad). I knew they

were going to be good, but they

shattered my expectations. They were

probably the best live local act that I

have seen (no offense to Randy Sehl

and Temperance Tonic). It probably

helps that the sisters can harmonize

and blend well due to good genetics

and long hours of practice. They did a

number of cover tunes, as well as,

their own originals that tend to be

based upon literature, especially

Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy

and Hobbit Lore. They were so good,

I would like to try to have them back

this Spring and tie it in with a bonfire

or something to open the event to

other parishes and youth/young adult

groups.

Robert Maenle prepared ham with

pineapple chunks and others brought

sides, snacks, and deserts. I like ham

on occasion, but this ham was

fantastic. There were enough

leftovers that a number of us men

grabbed ham to go so that we could

have ham and eggs for breakfast. I

am getting hungry thinking about it.

Next Parish “Fun” Raiser

The next “Fun” Raiser will be

Saturday, April 14th in Kenna Hall.

Joel Zmuda and Eric Hite will be

doing a big band type of show. I

snuck down to the Sylvania American

Legion Post to see Joel sing with

Swing Mania at the Open Dance

Party. They played a number of big

band and swing tunes. Joel was

crooning away to some Dean Martin

and Frank Sinatra. It was a great time

listening to Joel and the band and

watching the swing dancers practice

their moves.

Leonardo

Please save the date for Leonardo’s

performance of St. Maximilian

Kolbe on Sunday, April 15th at

7:30pm in the parish church. Please

pass the word and invite neighbors

and friends. The performance is

hosted by the generosity of St.

Anthony parish. There is not a cost

for admittance, but a free will offering

will be taken. For those discouraged

by movie ticket prices, this will be a

great relief to them.

St. Maximilian was a Conventual

Franciscan in Poland, who had a great

devotion to the Blessed Mother. He

also used the social media of the time

to print numerous magazines and

other publications promoting the

Blessed Mother and the Militia

Immaculata, which was Mary’s

Militia of prayer warriors, to spread

the devotion to the Immaculate Heart

of Mary.

Chant and Tradition

While watching Joel Zmuda and

Swing Mania, I bumped into Pastor

Mark Gibbs from St. Michael

Lutheran Church on Whiteford

Center. He was there dancing with

his wife to the swing music. He

seemed to be having a good time

dancing and socializing. I had asked

Joel, who he was because I

recognized him, as well as a few other

people. Joel offered to introduce me,

but I had met him shortly after I had

arrived. It has been a few years since

I have seen him though, so it was nice

to run into him at a fun event.

Now knowing that it was Pastor

Gibbs, Joel and I went up to him to

say hello. I think he was as surprised

to see me there as I was of him. I

introduced Joel as my parishioner and

that he sings in the St. Anthony Choir.

Pastor Gibbs complimented Joel on

his singing and then asked if Joel

would be willing to teach him to sing

a few big band songs. Pastor Gibbs

mentioned that he chanted their

Liturgy and even led his choir if the

choir director was not available. He

was hoping to be able to sing a song

or two with the band. Joel said that

he would be happy to do that.

I asked him what kind of chant that

he did and it sounded like it was from

the German Lutheran Liturgy. It

sounded like it was pretty simple

chant. Then, Pastor Gibbs commented

on how blessed we were to have not

only the type of chant, but the

selection and amount, in the Catholic

Liturgy. I mentioned that I finally

learned to offer the Old Rite in Latin

and even sing it, with help from

different computer apps and

downloads. He thought that was

awesome. I invited him to come

some time when we have Sung Mass

in Latin. He seemed interested.

It was interesting to hear that the

Lutherans still have some chant (I

didn’t ask if it was in German, Latin,

or English) that is being used. It was

also refreshing to hear someone from

a n o t h e r d e n o mi n a t io n , wh o

appreciates chant and beautiful music

May God Be Blessed!!

Our Prayer List is a beautiful way

to ask for prayers for family, friends,

loved ones and acquaintances. Anyone

may be included on our list. Call the

Parish Office to include a name; please

let us know also when a name can be

removed.

St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church Temperance, Michigan

PRAYER FOR THE RETURN OF NON-PRACTICING CATHOLICS

Good Shepherd, You never cease to seek out the lost, to call home the stray, to comfort the frightened, and to bind up the wounded.

I ask You to bring the people I hold in my heart back to the practice of the Faith, and to remove all obstacles that prevent them from receiving Your abundant mercy,

which flows sacramentally through the heart of Your holy Church.

Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, their Guardian Angels, their Patron Saints, and the ever-prayerful St. Monica, may You pardon their sins and

unshackle them from whatever hinders their freedom to come Home. For You, O Good Shepherd, have loved us to the end and offered Yourself to the

Father for the salvation of all. Amen.

Prayers for the return of a non-practicing Catholic also should be accompanied by sacrificial and private acts of fasting, and almsgiving in their name.

Parish Census - 2017/18 In the fall, the Parish began the work

of updating the Parish data base through

a Parish-wide Census. Membership

forms were included in the bulletins, as

well as made available on the table in the

Narthex. As of Friday, March 2, we’ve

received back 94 current membership

forms.

In the next few weeks, we’ll begin the

2nd phase of completing our Census:

we’ll be mailing forms to anyone who

has not yet responded. Please take a few

moments to fill out the form and return

to the Parish Office by the end of April.

Forms may be returned in the Sunday

collection, dropped off in the Parish

Office, or mailed in.

Our last census was conducted in 2012.

We conduct a Census every 5 year to not

only update our records but to give all

parishioners the opportunity to share

their special talents for the good of

everyone in our Parish. Maintaining

reliable, accurate records is an essential

part of knowing our parishioners and

provides us with the information we

need to develop and offer programs that

meet your spiritual needs.

Any questions, please call

Michelle in the Parish Office

734-854-1143.

Parish Presence Program Purpose: To be the eyes and ears of the priest before, during and after the Mass, relieving him of any concerns or anxieties for his parish family.

Responsibility: Be present in the Narthex ½ hr. prior to the beginning of Mass to welcome arriving parishioners and be available to answer questions of any newcomers. Once the Mass begins, be able to view any activity that occurs in the Narthex area for the duration of the Mass. You can sit in the front pew on Mary’s side and still have a view of the Narthex activities.

Start-Stop times: Arrive in the Narthex at least 30 minutes prior to the start of Mass and be available thru the completion of liturgical activities in church.

Program-Membership: Open to any parishioner aged 18 and over. Volunteer solicitation will occur thru announcements in the parish bulletin.

Scheduling: Will be on a weekly/monthly basis. (still undetermined). Volunteers will be asked to choose their preferred Mass times.

Resources: A St. Anthony information booklet will be available for reference and distribution. A lanyard identifying the member as a ‘PORTER’ will be available to wear when ‘on duty’. Please return lanyard to storage area after your ‘shift’.

Main Entrance presence: We would like to have the same coverage at the main entrance as at the Narthex entrance. The ushers on duty could serve as a backup or additional resource should any be needed. Preferred seating for the main entrance would be in one of the rear pews near the center. The same resources will also be available in this area.

Program management: The scheduling of members for each Mass will be overseen by the Fr. John A Kenna Knights of Columbus Council.

IMPORTANT NOTES: We are NOT a police force! We are NOT a security force! We assume no responsibility for the welfare or safety of people attending church activities. We want to be a warm and welcoming presence to all who join us in worshipping the Lord. We do what we can as ordinary civilians to be the eyes and ears of our parish and our priest.

Any additional suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Ron Dressel @ (734) 856-2331

Knightly News

April 2018

Dedicated to keeping you informed on the activities of the Fr. John A. Kenna Knights of Columbus Council 11430

During recent drive-arounds lately, I have noticed a lot of yard and house decorations depicting Easter bunnies and large

decorated eggs. Eggs represent new life, so I understood their significance, but the idea of a rabbit didn’t make much sense

so I ‘Googled’ the reason for the hare. It appears that the Germans brought the idea of an egg-laying hare to the US in the

1700s. Kids made nests where the eggs could be laid. I would rather see the true meaning of Easter be blazoned across our

yards but not sure how that could be done. Unlike Christmas time, where we could display a nativity scene, I am not so sure

I want to see an inflatable cross in our yards. In retrospect, I am glad we don’t see that as it could be used to mock the great

sacrifice our loving Lord made in providing each of us a path to salvation. Let us use those yard decorations as a reminder

what Easter means to us, the possibility of a new life with the Lord!! We can then have a truly joyous Easter season!

March was a busy time for our Council. Good weather helped bring folks out to the Breakfast Buffet as it was very well

attended. Harry Hahn had his name drawn in the attendance game at the March meeting. He was not eligible, so the

pot continues to grow. We had 4 members receive their full knighthood in the 3rd degree on March 17th. Pictured below

are Dave Thoma, Doug Vandergrift, Michael Holup and Eric Hite surrounded by fellow Knights who

were there to support their brothers. Congratulations also to Michael and Cheryl Scott and their crew for being

named Family of the Month for March. Pictured below is the Scott family along with Grand Knight

Michael Briskey. Don’t forget to check out the new kiosk in the Narthex. There are 15 new pamphlets there that are free. These were put

together by the K-C Catholic-Information-Services department of the Knights. There are some very good articles covered

so give them a look-over. Help yourself.

If you are a K-C member, why not come to the April meeting and try your luck by signing up for the game. You

COULD be the next winner.

Why not join with your brother Knights? We meet every 1st Wednesday at 7:30 PM in Kenna Hall. We invite all

men 18 yrs. or older who are practical Catholics to join a great bunch of guys. Just mention your interest to any of our

officers or give me a call.
