THANK YOU

 

To All Chicken Dinner Workers,

  

Thank you to all the wonderful people who helped with the chicken dinner!  We had record numbers to work on Saturday and Sunday.  Oprah would be proud!  So thanks for the outstanding help in making 2008’s Chicken Dinner a huge success.  I could never mention everyone by name but you will know it’s you.  Some workers came early and some stayed late and all worked beyond expectations.  I can’t forget the Cathedral office staff, Fr. Dan & Fr. Lee, and the Parish Council for many months of hard work.  Lastly, thanks to all the people who came to eat and get take outs.  You all made me look very good.

   Special thanks to Lucille LaGesse for the many hours she puts in assisting before and during the event.  But again this year I also have to thank Gene and Barb Bergren, and Shari and Jeff Bong, who filled in for me during the weekend.  Due to a grandson’s out of town 1st Communion, I could not be here but I was not needed at all. 

   God bless you all and because you did such a good job we’ll want you again next year.                                              

 

Thanks again!

 

Sandy Henning

 

 

PARISH COUNCIL NOMINATIONS

   The Parish Council Nominating Committee found (4) parishioners to run for Parish Council.  There are 4 present members who are leaving the council.  Because, we could not come up with another candidate – to have 5 for an election, there will not be an election!  With the “advice and consent” of the Council, the Pastor will automatically appoint these (4) candidates to the Cathedral Parish Council who are Sara Fouts, William Goligoski, Joe Mackiewicz and Jim Paine.

   On behalf of the Parish, I wish to thank sincerely the 4 members leaving the Council:  Gene Bergren, who has served as Council Chair for a number of years, Lucille LaGesse, Diann Nelson and Tom Tracy.  Your leadership, your participation and support has been most gratifying.  You truly have built-up the Cathedral Parish Family by your gifts of Time and Talent.

                                                                Fr. Dan

 

*Please Note:  In last week’s bulletin we had Shari Bong listed as one of the four Parish Council Members whose term has ended and it should have said Tom Tracy.  We are sorry for this error.

 

WEEKLY MEDITATION

 

PENTECOST

John 20:19-23

 

   The opening prayer of today’s Mass says: “Send your Spirit into our lives with the power of a mighty wind, and by the flame of your wisdom open the horizons of our minds”.  Wind and Fire are the images associated with the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Fr. John Heagle in his book, Life to the Full, says, “The wind and the sun.  The breath and the fire.  Every morning these sources of creativity move across the land in a daily cycle that brings life and movement, growth and harvest to our lives…  St. Bonaventure refers to the world as ‘the footprints of God.’  The footprints leave a pattern. They create a shape.  They reveal a theme.”

   So we have observed Easter and Ascension:  Christ crucified, is Christ Risen, conquering the darkness of sin and death.  The Risen Christ was then lifted-UP to be seated in glory at the right hand of His Father.  This happened that the Holy Spirit/the Advocate might come DOWN in fire and wind (the wisdom and power) to be with us always till the end of time.  The Holy Spirit, then, empowers us to GO-out to all the world to baptize and to teach all that I have commanded you!

 

   The prophet Isaiah (55:10-11) said this: “As the rain and snow come down from the heavens and do not return without watering the earth, giving seed to the sower, and bread for eating, so the word that goes from my mouth does not return to me empty, without carrying out my will and succeeding in what it was sent to do.”  So, the Word became Flesh (Emmanuel – God with us); Jesus said, “My work is to do the will of my Father”.  In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus anguished, “that this cup of suffering may pass; but Father, not my will but your will be done.”  So on the Cross, Jesus utters, “It is finished.  Father into your hands, I commend my Spirit.”  He accomplished what He (word) was sent to do – to redeem a broken and bruised humanity.

 

   Jesus left the world stage that the Holy Spirit could accomplish the work that was entrusted by the Father and the Son – namely, to pour out upon us – “the power and wisdom” of God.  That we, the Faith-filled Disciples, may become the “footprints” of Jesus – GO out in peace to love and serve the Lord and one another!  If we live in the Spirit (Galatians 5), there is peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, forgiveness, chastity, self control.  In other words, when we GO out we leave a pattern, create a shape, reveal a theme.  We are challenged and charged to build God’s Kingdom – my work is to live in the Spirit!  Then when my life is completed, like Jesus, I can say, “it is finished; into your hands, Father, I commend my spirit.”

                                                                       

Fr. Dan

 

 

Question for Children: When have you heard your inner voice or conscience guiding you to do what is right?

Question for Youth: On Pentecost, the apostles were able to speak in a language that everyone could understand. As a young person, you have your own way of communicating Jesus’ importance in your life. How will you make Jesus more known to others in your own way this week?

Question for Adults: Share about times when you felt the power of the Spirit, giving you the right words, giving you insight into a dilemma, or in other ways.
