Covenant Scholarships for Catholic Educa+on

No child of a registered parish family will

be denied the opportunity of a Catholic

educa5on at any local CSGK Catholic

elementary school due to financial need.

Applica5on packets are available in the

front office or on our website under

who-we-are/links/. If you have

ques5ons, please contact Melissa

Anderegg at (269) 381-2646.

In the past few weeks I have been wri5ng about our parish

vision. Parish leaders created this vision to give our parish

a common direc5on, to guide our decision-making and to

help focus our priori5es so we can use our resources well.

Our vision has one key word, and four bullet points. In the

past few weeks I've presented three bullet points: Love

God; Grow Disciples; Share the Gospel.

Our last bullet point is: Serve the World. When Jesus told a parable about

the final judgment, he did not men5on the Ten Commandments. What he

said was that those who took care of the hungry and thirsty, those who

welcomed the stranger and clothed the naked, those who spent 5me with

the sick and the imprisoned – those people would inherit the kingdom and

eternal life. (MaHhew, Chapter 25)

I think our parish knows this one and does it well. The world is a big

place, and we know there are lots of needs. Jesus has called us to stretch

ourselves beyond our own desires and the needs of our immediate circle of

family and friends. They're a nice place to start but not where we end. We

also have to stretch ourselves beyond our parish boundaries into the local

community.

There are lots of opportuni5es, whether you like to spend 5me with

people, or do things with your hands. We reach out to people in senior

residences, and people in jail. We host 12-step groups for people recovering

from various addic5ons. We have blood drives and build houses. We offer

ministry to migrant farmworkers, conduct food drives, and fill the giving

tree. We serve Meals on Wheels and bring food to people recovering from

health issues. We read and tutor in schools and at Peace House.

We also stretch farther through our special collec5ons for people

suffering from natural disasters and congoing poverty, for the Church that is

growing in Eastern Europe, La5n America and Africa, for support of the min-

istry of the Pope, and care for the people and places of the Holy Land.

Parishioners serve through their involvement in the Knights of

Columbus, the St. Vincent DePaul Society and Women of the Word. Many

more parishioners serve throughout the community as members of

charitable organiza5ons, par5cipa5on in schools and government, and

promo5ng Chris5an values by their involvement in poli5cal life. Our arms

are stretched out to the world when we support Fr. Peter Gregor's ministry

in Honduras, our sister parish in El Salvador, and Catholic ministries in

Mexico and Kenya.

I am reminded that Serving the World does not always mean giving

money, though. Serving the world means using our 5me and our bodies and

our skills to serve people. I am reminded of a ques5on when I was asked

about going to El Salvador, and whether it would be beHer just to send the

money? The response was, "What would your grandmother say if she were

asked whether she would like you to visit her, or prefer you just the send the

money you would have spent on airfare?"

So the fourth part of our vision is to Serve the World. We use our

precious resources of money; 5me; and blood, sweat, and tears to bring the

hands and feet and face of Jesus to people in need.

Jesus said, "What you did to my brothers and sisters, even the least

ones -- you did it to me." (MaHhew 25:40)

necessary) using the form you received in the mail or the envelope available in the church pews.

An Introduc+on to Centering Prayer

God communicates in many ways and one of those ways is silence in mys5cal presence or

mystery. God as mystery is not something to be figured out; rather, God embraces us, envelopes us, and

gently loves us into the fullness of our true being, the being that God created.

A mys5cal prac5ce of prayer that dates back to the earliest days of the Church is Centering

Prayer, a form of contempla5ve prayer. By choosing a name or image for God, one can sit and breathe

this name or image in and out, centering ourselves in God's wonderful mystery, love, and gentleness.

This type of prayer is prac5ced by millions of Chris5ans around the world and in other religions.

Centering Prayer is the prayer of s5llness and silence that invites us to be fully present to God

and to contemplate, or be with, God's presence. As many mys5cs and saints have pondered, "Suppose God is not a being

but being itself…" Contempla5ve prayer is an invita5on to move towards becoming one with God as Jesus says in John

10:30, "The Father and I are one." Centering Prayer can "center" me in God at the start or close of the day. It can help

me move closer to my true self in God.

Please join us for an Introduc5on to Centering Prayer led by Jay Landry in Trinity Chapel. In each session,

Jay will share some background on Centering Prayer, and we will prac5ce this way of praying. We will gather on

Wednesdays at 10 a.m. or 6:30 p.m. on May 30, June 6, 13, and 20. You are welcome to aHend as many sessions as you

wish. Please invite a friend or family member.

I DO NOT HAVE A YOUTH, SO WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT YOUTH MINISTRY?

I think this is a common ques5on above. I know for a fact that it has been asked many 5mes in my 20 years of doing youth

ministry. Here is why it is important.

Data speaks to the fact that a strong youth program will be a springboard for con5nued faith ac5vity later in life.

Youth are both the present and future of the Church. If we do not have show an interest in them now, then there is no

Church of the future.

Data speaks to the fact that families will go where their youth goes. If we can draw youth into programs and ac5vity their

families are more likely to aHend.

So, what does that mean for you if you do or do not have a youth?

I want as many adults as possible ac5ve as leaders in the program. Contact me to find our more informa5on.

I want to be able to share about youth ministry with as many people as possible. Contact me and I will take you to lunch

or coffee and we can talk about what youth ministry is and how we run it.

I want to be able to get to know everyone in the parish to find out about you. So, please reach out to me and we can get

together.

What should I know about Youth Ministry? As much as possible, and I can help you with that!

JUNE 2018 – MAY 2019 PROGRAM IS OUT…THIS INCLUDES CONFIRMATION INFORMATION

If you going to have a 6-12 grader next year please pickup your packet of informa5on, email Philip to have it emailed to you or

St. Catherine Spiritual Renewal – Help Us Build It

Have you had an encounter with Jesus Christ that melted your heart that inspired you to change how you lived?

Once you began to realize how much God loves you and is bending over backwards to save you, did this experience move

you to fall in love (again perhaps) with Christ, God the Father, or the Spirit? This is spiritual renewal or conversion: when

we engage God in some way and it changes us, filling us with grace and joy that calls us to change our lives, and we

change joyfully, because we know that God is calling us to it.

Narcia Schutlz-Acker and Jay Landry are developing a spiritual renewal program for our parish around the four

pillars of our parish vision statement that are being illustrated in the bulle5n and by the videos of Fr. Ken and the parish

staff at the end of Sunday Masses. We are asking you, the People of St. Catherine of Siena, to share a bit of your spiritual

journey in one dream session to help us build this program, so that we can spiritually renew our parish and all of us can

con5nue to fall in love with Jesus Christ and follow him more closely to reach the goals of our parish vision.

Please consider joining us for one of these Fall in Love dream sessions, like a mini-retreat, where you will have

the chance to revisit an encounter with Jesus Christ, God the Father, or the Spirit and how that touched your heart to

begin to change your life. AWer revisi5ng this encounter, we will invite you to dream about the spiritual renewal that

you'd like to see happen at St. Catherine. Again, you are invited to aHend only one of these sessions.

The dates for these "Fall in Love" sessions are below. Please consider aHending one of these sessions. We will

start at 6:30 p.m. and be done in about two hours.

Wednesday, May 23 Thursday, June 7 Tuesday, June 12

Please RSVP to Narcia at [email protected] or Jay at [email protected] or 269-978-2331 to let us

know which session you wish to aHend. Please invite a family member and a friend at the parish to aHend with

you. Ques5ons? Please contact either one of us.
