St. Mary Parish not only has the distinction of

being one of the oldest parishes in the

Archdiocese of Cincinnati, but one of the oldest

in the state of Ohio.

St. Mary’s congregation dates back to 1843,

with the original church being dedicated March

8, 1846. At that time most churches were

frame, but St. Mary was brick and thoroughly

equipped. Extensive remodeling was planned

for the church in 1898. However, after work

progressed, it was decided that the church would

be enlarged to include a cellar. This work was

completed in June, 1899. An extensive remodel-

ing project to update the church was completed

in 1979. The latest remodeling and painting

project was completed in 2007.

Today, we enjoy a beautiful

edifice dedicated to Our Lord

and cherished by the members

of Piqua’s Catholic parishes.

St. Mary Altar Society:

St. Mary Altar Society had their Christmas Luncheon at the Eagles in Covington this

year. Following the luncheon and a meeting, they delivered Christmas cards and flowers

to parishioners who are at the following nursing homes: Covington Care Center,

Brookdale, Garbry Ridge, Piqua Manor, and Heartland Nursing Home. The next business

meeting will be on February 12.

Adult Faith Formation:

Coffee and Doughnuts: Held on the first Sunday of the month after the St. Mary 9:00am

Mass and the St. Boniface 11:00 am Mass. This is a time to enjoy refreshment and fellowship

with fellow parishioners. Sponsored by the Family Life Commissions of both parishes, the

Adult Faith Formation coordinates the different groups hosting. If your group would like to

host, please contact Barb Kohl.

Fall Faith offering: The DVD program Untold Blessing, Three Paths to Holiness by Bishop

Robert Barron was offered in two sessions for seven weeks lead by Tim Pawlaczyk.

Christ Renews His Parish: The fourth women’s retreat was held on November 4-

5th at the Downing Street Campus with fifteen women attending. The men’s retreat

will be held January 20-21, 2018. This is a program of personal renewal for

parishioners led by parishioners.

Mass of Remembrance: A Mass honoring deceased members of both parishes was held at St. Boniface on

November 12 at 2:00 pm. As names were read, families came forward and lit a candle. A reception

followed in the Caserta Center.

Dynamic Catholic Resources: Boxes containing free materials are available in both churches and the chapel

for parishioners. Feel free to keep, return, or pass on to others.

Prayer Partners: Parishioners are again partnering to pray for our twenty-four eighth grade Confirmation

candidates and twenty-six RCIA candidates and catechumens during their formation period.

Perfectly Yourself: A book by Matthew Kelly was distributed one

per household at all the Christmas Masses. The book can be used

for personal reflection or in a group discussion.

Prayer Workshop: A three session workshop on prayer will be

offered in two sessions (Monday afternoons and Wednesday eve-

nings) at the Downing Street Campus beginning January 22.

Lent: The Commission is now in the planning stages for the upcoming Lenten

season. Stations of the Cross will be offered on Thursday evenings at St. Mary and

Sunday afternoon at St. Boniface. Times will be listed in the bulletin during Lent.

Msgr. Frank Lane will be presenting a half day retreat on Saturday, March 10th at the

North Street Campus.

The Adult Faith Formation Commission is comprised of members from both St. Boniface and

St. Mary parishes, along with Fr. Bolte, and Diane Mengos. (Continued on next page)

St. Boniface/St. Mary Mission Committee:

The Mission Committee was hoping to have a group from Dominica to

come for a visit with us in October, 2017. Then, disaster struck!

Hurricane Maria tore the island apart, and they couldn’t come. The

people are without electricity, some do not have roofs, and much more

damage. We were going to send money to help with their transportation

to come here, but since they couldn’t come, we gave money for two (2)

generators and some miscellaneous items. There was also a second

collection taken to help them. We hope in June to send more money to

help them get back to normalcy. At this time, we don’t have any idea

when they can come here or we can go there. Please keep the people of

Dominica in your prayers. Also in June, we will be sending money to

the Gutmanns in Chile and Sister Sarah in Guatemala.

Many donations were received from the Giving Trees. The Mission

Commission thanks everyone for their support of our mission and twinning activities. We will next meet at

5pm on January 15 in the St. Mary meeting room. All are welcome to come. May God Bless Everyone!!!!

Cursillo Movement:

DeColores! During the fall season, we were living our Fourth Day quite actively through the Men’s #226

weekend in September, Region IV Encounter and the celebrated Praise & Worship Night, both in Octo-

ber. There are many people to thank for all of this coming together so I cannot mention all by name here. I

humbly ask the Fourth Day Community to offer a prayer of thanksgiving for those who helped to serve so

graciously. Also, be sure to mark your calendar now that we are booked with Our Lady of the Holy Spirit

Center for a Women’s weekend #183 on March 15-18, 2018, and the next Men’s #227 on September 6-9,

2018. Do not wait to send in your applications! I understand there is interest by several candidates already so

let’s first begin prayer and palanca for them and send the applications in now.

The School of Leaders has begun its new format and is off to a great start for the

2017-2018 year. Remember the School is for any and all Cursillistas who desire to

accelerate and perfect the conversion process. We take a deeper look at how to

live the Christian Ideal. The School helps all in attendance develop a better

understanding of the Cursillo Movement and helps each person live a more

balanced life of piety, study, and action. The School gathers monthly on

the second Saturday of each month from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM and is hosted by a

different Ultreya or parish each month throughout the Archdiocese. Upcoming

session is January 13, 2018, at St. Francis de Sales, Lebanon “Save the Date”. We can carpool - give me a

call! Please see the website for additional dates/locations at (www.cincinnati-cursillo.org) and for any can-

cellations due to weather. We look forward to renewing old friendships and growing new ones.

Peace, Julie Tyler, 773-2700

Reflections . . .

From his best seller, All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten, author

Robert Fulghum offers these thoughts:

Share everything

Play fair

Don’t hit people

Put things back where you found them

Don’t take things that aren’t yours

Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody

Clean up your own mess

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you

Be aware of wonder

Live a balanced life—learn some & think some—draw & paint some—sing & dance, play & work everyday some.

A Sweet Job:

Kathy Guillozet & Theresa

Henderson set-up the “cupcake”

birthday cake for Fr. Ang’s 99th

Birthday Celebration held on

December 9. In addition to cake,

attendees were served pasta made

with Fr. Ang’s own meatball/sauce

recipes. Many thanks to this com-

mittee, headed by St. Boniface

Parish Staff members, who worked

so hard to make the evening

very special.

Out of the Past — Piqua Catholic Newsletter—ABC Awards—March, 1989

So the shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph. The baby Jesus was lying in a manger as they had been told. When they saw him, they told everyone what the angel had said

and everyone who heard the story were astonished. Then the shepherds returned to their

sheep, praising God for sending his Son to be their Savior.

(Benton & John Verrill, Braden Ulbrich, Amari Abdullah)

PCS Christmas Program Thursday, December 14

Before an audience that “filled the gym/cafeteria at

the Downing Street Campus to capacity,” the PCS

students presented an outstanding Christmas

program.

“Our All School Christmas Program,” said Brad

Zimmerman, PCS Principal, “was a wonderful

success!” He added, “These programs are perfect

opportunities for the students to showcase their

talents outside the classroom. Awesome job,

students. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us.”

Performing were the students — pre-schoolers to the

eighth graders, the beginning & advanced bands, and

the cast of the “Song of Mary” play.

Many thanks to Rachel Birman—PCS Music/Band

Director & Judy Lohnes—Music/Worship Director.
