FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK By Fr. Terry Kerner

St. Kateri Parish wishes all our parishioners and visitors a joyful

Easter. The Resurrection of Christ is the central dogma and reality for the

Church. Whether we believe it or not, it does not change its reality. Whether

you can understand and know how this is possible does not change the fact it

happened. Whether you live or not live your life with the understanding that

this event is the purpose of your existence is up to you. The truth and reality

of resurrection is not up to your ability to explain or believe it. It is real de-

spite whether you offer your agreement or not. Your faith or lack of it does

not change the incredible gift given us. That very profound gift is this: Our

Heavenly Father refuses to let sin and death overcome His Son and by ex-

tension all of us! To see our life as ending with our death and burial is to be

so short sighted and missing the meaning and purpose of your existence. To

quote the very old Baltimore Catechism, the document that tried to simplify

and explain some very basic realities of our belief: Q: “Why did God make us”

A:”To know Him and love Him in this world so that we can be with Him in

the next.” Know and love Him this Easter season confident that you will be

with Him in your life to come! HAPPY EASTER to you and your family.

Part of the beauty of celebrating a joyful Easter is all that leads up to

it. From Ash Wednesday onward, the Church (you and your fellow believers)

have celebrated liturgies and events including Stations of the Cross, prayer

gatherings, outreach opportunities and even fish fries. With Palm Sunday

weekend and the intense liturgical expressions of our Faith through Holy

Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, we can only deepen our appreci-

ation for the richness of our Faith and its expressions.

None of our celebrations are possible without the many dedicated folks

who work so generously. THANK YOU to all our liturgical and hospitality

ministers and everyone who works so quietly and with dedication behind the

scenes. May they and all of you know of St. Kateri’s appreciation!

Since we now have a Nicholas Black Elk Prayer Circle at our parish, the

shop has stocked several biographies of this holy Lakota Medicine Man and

Catholic Catechist. He led a fascinating life spanning an important era of our

onization and is now on the road to sainthood himself!
