BISHOP RICKEN’S

MONTHLY PRAYER INTENTION That the example of the Holy Family may inspire all

families of our Diocese to lives of deeper prayer and

holiness.

FROM THE DESK OF DEACON KIELTYKA

On January 20th, I will join 8 other men on a two week mission trip to the Dominican Republic. We are traveling to

the town of Elías Piña. Our objective is to build a chapel, similar to the one in the photo, in a local village near Elias Pina.

This group of men, comprised mostly of Deacons from the Diocese, travels annually to the Dominican Republic to build a

chapel. Many of the old wood-structure chapels are no longer usable. The newer block chapels provide a sustainable space

for Mass, sacraments and for religious education in the remote village.

The Green Bay Diocese has operated a mission in the Dominican Republic for over 52 years. Fr. Michael Seis, a

Green Bay Diocesan priest, is the pastor of two parishes; Santa Teresa in the province of Elías Piña on the Haiti-Dominican

Republic border and San Ysidro in El Llano. Fr. Seis, has served in the Dominican Republic for more than 19 years. He

ministers to an estimated 100,000 people in 90 settlements throughout the province. There is a set schedule for these remote

settlements. A majority of these villages will celebrate one Mass each month. Many times, the mass will include baptisms

and other sacraments.

I would ask for you to remember these brothers and sisters in Christ in your prayers. We are all one, holy, catholic

and apostolic church. Please pray for Fr. Seis, the mission as well as the groups’ health and safety. My mission trip was

shortened in 2014 due to a medical emergency. Peace and blessings Dcn. Conrad

The 2016 Spring 40 Days for Life campaign begins on Ash

Wednesday. Join other members of St. Francis Xavier

Cathedral to peacefully pray in the public right-of-way

outside Planned Parenthood at 2605 S. Oneida Street in

Ashwaubenon. on Fridays 4pm - 6pm (February 12

through March18). The 40 Days for Life campaign

strives to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and

peaceful vigil for conversion, healing, and the end of

abortion. For information or if you would like to take part

in, contact Vonda at 371-0839 or visit 40daysforlife.com.

BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY St. Francis Xavier Cathedral has a Bereavement Ministry

program available to provide support and comfort to

parishioners who are grieving the death of a loved one.

Contact Kathy at 497-8060 if you would like help from this

ministry.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

ORIENTATION The Cathedral Conference of the Society of St. Vincent

de Paul is hosting an orientation for those who signed up

on Stewardship weekend. For your convenience we are

offering two sessions. Please plan on attending one of these

informative meetings. They are Saturday, January 23rd or

Saturday February 20th in the Bishop Wycislo Center at

2:30 pm. Other parishioners who are interested in finding

out what Vincentians do are invited to attend as well. In

this Year of Mercy, let us be merciful to those in need.

to continuing our ministry into the new year!

We truly appreciate your patronage

PRAYER CORNER "“Never forget that it is at the beginning of each day

that God has the necessary grace

for the day ready for us.

He knows exactly what opportunities

we shall have to sin,

and will give us everything we need

if we ask him then.

That is why the devil does all he can to prevent us

from saying our morning prayers

or to make us say them badly."“

~St. John Vianney

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you

wake up? Flip on the news? Check your phone for

messages? Stumble straight to the shower? Make sure

those first moments are given to God, no one else; He

has so much to give back to you!

USHERS NEEDED! Since our recent stewardship drive, several ushers decided

to step down. We cannot thank them enough for their years

of dedication! There will now be 4 ushers per Mass. It is

our desire that each usher only usher once a month. In order

for this to happen we are in need of 8 more ushers for Satur-

day evenings at 4 pm and 5 for Sundays at 9 am. Can you

make a once a month commitment to help your parish by

becoming an usher? If so call the office at 432-4348.

the Evangelist on Sunday, February 7th at 10:45am.

possibility; however volunteers are needed to coordinate

the meal and child care needed during the presentation.

To volunteer please call St John the Evangelist office at

436-6360.

CORPORAL WORK OF MERCY

“CLOTHE THE NAKED” The corporal work of mercy, “clothe the naked,” seems rather

straightforward. One would think that it simply means to give

clothes to someone who doesn’t have any. While that certainly is

an aspect of this work of mercy, it does not paint the whole

picture. Jesus challenges us to be much more active when he said

to the sheep on his right, “[I was] naked, and you covered

me” (Matthew 25:36). Jesus (and the Church) ask us to “clothe”

the naked and not simply drop-off our excess wardrobe at a

St. Vincent de Paul thrift store (which is good to do). God wants

us to be active in our works of mercy and to touch the lives of

individual people. One of the most famous modern-day examples

who “clothed” the naked was Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

Each morning she would go out into the streets to find men and

women too sick to care for themselves. After carrying them back

to the hospice, Mother Teresa would bathe, clothe and feed them.

She believed everyone deserves to be treated with great dignity

and actively helped the poor in her community for the rest of her

life. However, not all of us are called to minister to the needs of

the homeless in Calcutta. That is why Mother Teresa would often

say, “Stay where you are. Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick,

the suffering and the lonely right there where you are — in your

own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in

your schools. You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you

have the eyes to see. Everywhere, wherever you go, you find

people who are unwanted, unloved, uncared for, just rejected by

society — completely forgotten, completely left alone.” When we

search out the “naked” of our local community, we shouldn’t only

be looking for those without clothes. We should also look for

those who are rejected, alone, and forgotten. They too are

“naked,” without friends or family, stripped of all meaningful

human relationships. They are like the man in the parable of the

“Good Samaritan.” He was not only stripped of his clothes,

beaten and left for dead, but also completely alone. Numerous

people passed him by and no one extended a hand. He was treated

like he was invisible. There are numerous people in our

community (and sometimes our own family), who are “left for

dead” and are stripped of everything in their lives. They often feel

invisible and think that no one cares about them. It is our duty as

Christians to comfort, console and “clothe” them. We may not

have to give them actual clothes, but we certainly can give them

our love, time and presence. The key attribute of the “Good

Samaritan” is that he went above and beyond what was necessary,

putting the man on his own donkey and taking the time to nurse

him back to health. We are challenged to be charitable beyond our

comfort zone and to take an active part in restoring someone to

their dignity as a human person. Let us ask for Blessed Mother

Teresa’s intercession as we go forth into the world to be

missionaries of Jesus’ mercy.
