Congrats to these young people who

celebrated their First

Communion on August 23.

Let us continue to keep them

in prayer.

On August 22, we welcomed Carly Sturdivant and Mike Boughton to our Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Initiation—Baptism, 1st Communion, and Confirmation. May they continue to grow in their faith and their love of Jesus. Come Holy Spirit!

Dear Fellow Pilgrims,

When we started StreetLights

Outreach in 2004, we did so

as an answer to this question:

How did Jesus do church? It

turns out there is no scriptural

evidence that Jesus put on a

coat and tie, grabbed his rosary, and sat in the same

pew for an hour every Sunday morning. It’s

comforting to think doing so makes us Christ-like,

but that’s not really how Christ “did church.” Even

as we prayerfully replicate his Last Supper, what we

do isn’t how it actually went down. For starters, the

gospel says the disciples reclined at table. They

reclined! They were relaxed, enjoying each other’s

company, probably cracking a few jokes. When I was

a kid, if I slouched in the pew or started laughing

with my brother, yikes! And, ready for this? Jesus

took the bread and broke it WHILE THEY WERE

AT TABLE! In other words, they were all eating

within an hour before receiving Holy Communion!

When I pointed that out to Sister Mary Alice in the

third grade, I was told to go sit in the hall.

The example he set is clear. Jesus “did church” on

street corners, beaches, and anywhere else people

gathered. He did not sit in and wait for people to

come to him; he went out into the world where they

were. This advances the whole idea of incarnation

when you think about it: God did not wait for hu-

manity to find its way back to unity with God; in-

stead, God came to life among us – and still does –

where we are, as we are.

For Jesus, “church” was all about, maybe only about,

the love, the action, the mercy, and the encounter.

And that can happen anywhere and everywhere. It

was about feeding the hungry, accompanying the

lonely, welcoming the stranger, and comforting the

sick. Church isn’t about where you go, it’s about how

you love. Thus, he gave us his two greatest

commandments: love God with all your being, and

love your neighbor as yourself. That’s church!

These past several months have called us back to that

understanding. Church isn’t the noun, however

comforting it feels at times, it’s the verb. It’s the

loaves of compassion we break open and the grapes

of love we pour out. Church is the heart we carry

into the world. This idea is baked into our dismissal

rite: go forth in peace to glorify the Lord with our

lives.

At StreetLights Outreach, this pandemic has called us

to focus on action rather than place. Last autumn, we

purchased a House of Hospitality through our

umbrella organization, Whatsoever You Do, Inc. Our

vision pursued Dorothy Day’s model of Catholic

Worker Houses. We spent the winter renovating and

began hosting programs in early spring. What grand

plans we had! Then Covid hit. But here’s the thing:

you can’t shut down the movement of the Spirit. In

fact, one of our programs – Amani Outreach – which

meets the needs of seniors and disabled people, has

been challenged in new ways. We have also begun

offering more virtual engagements and conversations.

Praying the Rosary

Tuesdays at 6pm

We pray outside so bring a lawn chair. Masks required. Parishioner Linda Barrette is leading us in this devotion.

“Kids & Ice Cream Drive-Thru”

September 9 from 6 to 7pm

Sr. Marla misses seeing our young parishioners. She’ll be outside on Wednesday, September 9, from 6 to 7pm to distribute ice cream cups to the kids of our parish.

September 23 to November 1

More info coming soon regarding how you can help save lives by praying and joining the vigil for an end to abortion.

(continued from previous page)

So even though we haven’t been able to welcome a

lot of people into our House of Hospitality yet, we’re

still reaching people on the margins and bringing

them the welcoming joy of Christ’s presence.

That’s what I hope for all of us as we move forward.

Whether you’ve been able to join us for Mass

physically or virtually, we’re all still “church.” We are

all still the people of God moved by the Spirit and

called to carry Christ’s love into the world. Nothing

can stop that.

Journey well and pray always.

Peace, Deacon Steve Meyer

Our Church Cleaners have been on hiatus because of

the pandemic. We appreciate all their past efforts in keep-

ing our church clean and all they’ll do in the future when

we’re back to normal. Linda Barrette, John Gillis, and Sr.

Marla have been doing all the cleaning and disinfecting as

it happens behind the scenes. We’re grateful for your

dedication and service to our parish family!
