2 513 St. Catharine—St. Margaret Parish Family
Dear Parishioners…
The last two Saturdays were two of the
glorious Saturdays of the year for us
here at St. Catharine-St. Margaret’s,
when our precious second graders made
their first communion.
For us Catholics, first communion is a significant and
important milestone on the road to becoming full
participating members of the Body of Christ. It is also
a milestone on the road to becoming a caring,
compassionate, kind and helpful human being.
An article in the New York Times makes the
surprising observation that parents are more
concerned about their children becoming
compassionate and kind than they are about being
successful. When people in 50 countries around the
world were asked to report their guiding principles in
life, the value that mattered most was not
achievement, but caring.
Genetic studies of twins suggest that anywhere from a
quarter to a half of our propensity to be giving and
caring is inherited. That means that a significant part
is learned from the environment we live and grow up
in, and from learning. The article makes the
interesting observation that when it comes to that
learning process in promoting moral behavior, and the
development of a caring character “nouns work better
than verbs.” It is more effective to encourage little
children to “be a helper” rather than inviting them “to
help.” Cheating was cut in half when instead of,
“Please don’t cheat”, children were asked to “Please
don’t be a cheater.”
Encouraging and praising children to be generous and
kind appears to matter most around the age of 8. We
know, of course, that this is approximately the age
that our children make their First Communion. It is
also the age when we invite them to make their first
confession.
After 40 years of hearing first confessions, and
observing children make their first communion, I
know that children at this age, for the most part, have
a very clear and unambiguous sense of what is right
and wrong. How we view and reinforce this sense of
right and wrong is very critical piece in the
development of a caring and compassionate person.
In the confessional, every priest deals with two
different emotions. Every parent and teacher
encounters them also. These are “Guilt” and
“Shame.” These are not interchangeable emotions;
they are distinctly different.
Shame is a feeling that I am a bad person; guilt is a
negative judgment about an action or behavior, which
can be repaired by good behavior.
If we want our children to care about others, and be
compassionate people, we need to teach them guilt
rather than shame when they misbehave. Frequently,
shame follows when parents or teachers express anger,
withdraw their love and attention, try to assert their
power through threats of punishment; then children
may begin to conclude that they are bad people, and
we know that this is a recipe for trouble, especially
when they enter adolescence.
Disappointment is the best and most effective response
to unwanted behavior. Disappointment, when it is
expressed honestly, delivers a powerful two pronged
message. First, it communicates that the behavior was
wrong, and secondly, it implies that the parent has
high standards for the child that can be accomplished
by behaving in a different way. When the child
incorporates this message, we see the beginning of a
sense of moral identity, and progress on the journey of
becoming a helpful, caring, respectful and loving
person.
And that is our prayer and our hope for each of the
children from our parish who made their First
Communion this year.

"Meet & Greet"
TODAY, May12th
At 12:30 pm in
Francis Duffy Hall, St. Margaret Church.
All are invited for delicious refreshments.
Honoring Deacon Ed's Anniversary Date.
They’re a Best Kept Secret:
Who: The Caritas Chamber Chorale is a special singing group of 22 accomplished voices who, under the direction of Barbara Sanderman, performs a series of beautiful bene-fit concerts of sacred music at select parishes in the Spring and Fall each year.
What: Caritas will be performing for us it’s new & special concert entitled “ Grace Abides.” The Chorale sings a cappella.
Where: St. Catharine Church, Spring Lake
When: Sunday afternoon, May 19th at 3:00PM
Why: This season’s program is designed to open for us a pathway to grace. It’s framework is the luminous Palestrina Missa Brevis, with each movement followed by a contem-porary choral piece.
Indeed, a unique program designed and performed for your enjoyment but also for the benefit of the Adorno Fathers’ Mission & school in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. The school educates children 3 to 11, who likely otherwise would not have access to education. Your free-will offering goes entirely to this charity of theirs.
How: Caritas Director Barbara Sanderman is the ‘mover & shaker’ behind the Chorale group. She’s been doing this since 2005. The singers are accomplished, ‘professional-grade’ performers, attracted to Caritas by its high quality performance, encouraged by Sanderman’s artistry as both musician and conductor. Sharing the conducting at this con-cert will be Dr. Mark A. Boyle, Director of Choral & Vocal Activities at Seton Hill University, PA.
