Pastoral Letter
Next month, over 100 Faith Formation and SJS children will celebrate their First Reconciliation.
They have been preparing in class and learning
more about Christ’s love and forgiveness.
Please pray for them as they continue their faith journeys!
God of tenderness and love,
You have called us home where you await us with open arms.
Lift the children up on your shoulders and carry them on this stage of their journey of reconciliation.
Give them the courage to embrace your gift of mercy and forgiveness.
We ask this in the Spirit, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Blessings, Summer Pongetti

Thank you to our 59 early pledge participants who collectively pledged over $70,000 to this year’s PSA. Additionally, thank you to all who have responded to Fr. Miguel’s call to NOT hear him sing by making their pledge last weekend. We are processing over 240 pledges so far and will have the amount to share soon! This year we are raising funds to help move our baptismal font to a place near the entrance of the church which is more liturgically correct. Additionally, we will be working to convert the choir loft to a comfortable space for Children’s Liturgy of the Word year round. If you have not made your pledge, please do so by visiting our website, or stopping by the Parish Center. With your help, we will not only achieve our Parish Participation goal of 545, but also get that extra 100, so Fr. Miguel doesn’t start singing at all his Masses. Thank you for your continued support!

Another Possible Miracle Under Review In Cause To Make Knights' Founder A Saint BERNARD T. DAVIDOW The cause to canonize Knights of Columbus founder Father Michael J. McGivney is being actively pursued well over a century after he died and 16 years after he was put forward as a candidate for sainthood.
McGivney, a 19th-century parish priest, was born in Waterbury, ministered to the downtrodden and suffering in New Haven, and at age 29 founded — in a church basement — a group that now claims to be the largest Catholic lay organization in the world.
In 2008, nine years after the Archdiocese of Hartford opened McGivney's cause for sainthood, Pope Benedict XVI declared the priest "venerable," meaning he lived a life of heroic virtues and his cause was eligible to proceed. One accepted miracle would elevate McGivney to "blessed." A second would lead to his being declared a saint. The Catholic church has already designated roughly a dozen Americans as saints, but none is an American-born priest. Were he named a saint today, McGivney would be the first. But there are other American-born priests, like McGivney, who are being promoted for sainthood at one level or another. As recounted in the 2006 book "Parish Priest: Father Michael McGivney and American Catholicism," McGivney certainly led a saintly life. He grew up in Waterbury, one of 12 children of Irish-immigrant parents, and was heavily influenced by a dynamic priest there named Thomas Hendricken. McGivney studied to be a priest with the financial support of the Diocese (now Archdiocese) of Hartford. After ordination in Baltimore in 1877, McGivney was assigned to the stately St. Mary's Church near Yale University in New Haven to help an ailing pastor run a parish heavily in debt. Fortunately, he showed a talent for both fundraising and organizing. He was a friend to the poor and prisoners — most famously to James "Chip" Smith, sentenced to death for killing a police officer. He had a common touch, a love of baseball, good humor, and a strong will. Driven in part by a desire to help widows and orphans in desperate straits, McGivney founded what would become the Knights of Columbus with a meeting in St. Mary's basement on Oct. 2, 1881. His proposal was remarkable, in part, because the organization would be run by Catholic lay people, not clergy. The group would provide insurance to help families burdened by sickness, scraping to provide for a decent burial, and struggling to survive after the breadwinner was gone.

It also offered an alternative to young Catholics who might otherwise be tempted to join secret societies popular at the time. In 1884, McGivney was named pastor at another parish heavy in debt — St. Thomas Church in Thomaston — where he served until he contracted pneumonia, and, after months of illness, died in 1890. He was only 38 years old. His body now rests in a sarcophagus in the New Haven church he once served.

El Reino de Dios no tiene lógica human. En el Evangelio de este domingo, escuchamos a Jesús presentando a sus discípulos la
propuesta de quienes son bendecidos y los que no son bendecidos de acuerdo al Reino. La lógica judía y humana durante el tiempo de Jesús es la siguiente: Una persona es bendecida por Dios cuando tiene salud, posesiones, dinero, etc. Por el contrario, el Reino presenta que los que no tienen, salud, dinero, etc. son los bendecidos. Lo curioso de la lógica human es que describe a Dios como un ser injusto. Esto era justificado por la siguiente manera de pensar: Si, tú o alguien en tu familia habían pecado, no eras bendito de Dios, Dios te enviaba un castigo: enfermedades, pobreza, etc.
Más que presentar en la verdad de que Dios no tiene como trabajo castigar, hoy quiero hacerlos pensar en la in-lógica del Reino. No
es que el discípulo del Reino de Dios este destinado a buscar el sufrimiento y no deba tener posesiones. El punto claro del Evangelio de Lucas es, poder presentar la propuesta al discípulo: Si eres discípulo del Reino tienes que esforzarte a ser más que lo que el pensamiento humano presenta como bueno. Esto quiere decir, si tienes dinero lo compartes, si tienes salud das atención del que sufre, en fin no estas apegado a este mundo pasajero. ¡Que reto para nosotros!
