“Father, How is Your Mother?”�
This is a question I hear frequently and I appreciate your
interest. Last month Mom turned 93. She has now lived
longer than any other woman on her side of the family.
So how is she? All things considered, she’s doing fine
but slipping a little. When I visited her at Christmas I
observed some changes had taken place from the
previous month. She has been using a walker for quite
some time but now relies on a wheelchair for longer
distances (like going to the beauty shop and dining room
in her assisted living residence). Some months back she
was using oxygen during the night, then during the day
while in her apartment; now she uses it throughout the
day and night. She is blind in one eye but greatly enjoys
“Talking Books” which she gets regularly through the
mail from the state at no charge to her. My father was an
MD whose patients were largely older people. Many
times when asked what was wrong his response to a
patient was, “You have the ‘dwindles.’” This meant that,
while there was no other diagnosable condition, age was
taking its toll and the person was gradually dwindling
away. I think Mom has the “Dwindles.” I will be
leaving after Masses on Sunday to check up on her
and will return by late Tuesday afternoon.�

The Holy Ghost Kaaba: Kaaba, (also spelled Kaʿbah), is
a small shrine located near the center of the Great
Mosque in Mecca and considered by Muslims
everywhere to be the most sacred spot on Earth. The
structure is basically an enormous block roughly 50 feet
high, and about 35 by 40 feet at its base. �
� When the elevator was installed in Holy Ghost a few
years ago the interior structure also appeared to be an
enormous block that was dropped in the north end of
the church and was dubbed by some to be Holy Ghost’s
“Kaaba.”�
� Very soon it will take on an en-rely new look thanks
to the generosity of a gi. from the estate of Fr. Mar-n
Conley (pastor here 1986 � 1992) and HG Women’s Club.
You have probably no-ced a wooden frame already
a7ached to the wall. A very talented local ar-st, Joseph
Eby, is preparing a colorful representa-on of Pentecost
in the style and colors of our exis-ng stained glass
windows. Special ligh-ng will also be added thanks to
the Men’s Club. It will highlight that our parish is
consecrated to the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy
Ghost, who descended on the Church at its beginnings
on Pentecost. �
�
What Are the Environmental Impacts of
Hormonal Birth Control? Part 1�
(Note: Over a period of weeks I am reprinting an
informative and alarming report from the website of
Human Life International (www.hli.org). It was written
by Brian Clowes, PhD and first appeared August 21,
2018. It is no secret that Catholics, for decades, have
ignored the teaching of the Church against the use of
artificial contraception, which itself is an attack on the
integrity of the marriage act. Contraceptive unions
have weakened the marriage bond and caused many to
end in divorce. Now we are beginning to understand
that the effects of chemical birth control are more
extensive that previously imagined.)�
� Have you ever stopped for gas and, as you were
pumping, watched a giant 18�wheel fuel tanker rumble up
to refill the gas station’s tanks? These trucks are
enormous, one�fourth as long as a football field, and each
carries enough gasoline to fill a good�sized backyard
swimming pool.�
� Every year, women in the United States ingest
enough powerful hormones in abortifacient methods of
birth control to fill one of these tanker trucks―3,375
gallons worth. Now picture a row of semi tanker trucks
parked bumper to bumper and stretching three quarters of
a mile. If they were all filled to the brim, they would
represent the amount of powerful birth control hormones
women have ingested since 1960 in the United States
alone.�
Environmental Effects of Birth Control�
� The serious physical side effects inflicted upon
women by the Pill, the patch, injectables, implants, and
hormone�loaded IUDs are often noted. But the effects of
birth control extend far beyond the boundaries of
women’s bodies.�
� Environmentalists tell us that our ecosystem depends
upon an extremely delicate balance of a large number of
factors, and that even the most apparently insignificant
activities of man are enough to have major impacts upon
it. Yet they are dead silent on the ecological effects of
some of the most powerful chemicals on earth.�
� In 2002, the United Kingdom’s Environmental
Agency stated, “Estrogenic steroids―natural and
synthetic hormones in sewage effluent―have been
shown to be more potent than previously thought, with
the synthetic steroid 17a ethinyl estradiol showing
effects in fish at concentrations below 1 nanogram per
liter.”�
� In other words, a single drop of one of these steroids
pollutes 220,000 gallons of water severely enough to
cause significant health problems in fish. This is
equivalent to three drops in a standard Olympic�sized
swimming pool of 660,000 gallons or 88,000 cubic feet
of water. A single thimbleful would have major impacts
on fish living in a lake 300 yards in diameter.�
� This is because excreted birth control pill hormones
are a pollutant, just like DDT or PCBs. Gord Miller,
Ontario’s environmental commissioner, said, “If you
were designing the perfect pollutant, it would probably
look like a pill.”�

ENVELOPES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS for
St. Stanislaus parishioners are at the back of the church.

please take a box of envelopes. Please be sure to write
the child’s information on the form, in the space provided
