Welcome Guests & New Parishioners�
Whether you’re a first time guest, occasional visitor, contemplating becoming a registered parishioner or already a member of this
community, we’re glad you’re here! If you would like more information about joining the community here at St. Katharine Drexel,
please talk with one of our staff members today, 763.323.4424, check out our website at www.stkdcc.org or complete one of the
“Welcome” cards found at the entrance to the worship space and give it to one of our ushers. Thanks much for celebrating
with us; your presence is both gift and grace.~ Father Paul Jaroszeski, Pastor�
Stewardship Prayer�
St Katharine Drexel is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. �
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray. It will make generous gifts
to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish of loyalty
and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same hings. �
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all things that I want St Katharine’s to be. Amen.�
From the Desk of Deacon Randy�
Stewardship and the Joy of �
Opening Our Hearts to Christ �
�
Fall is a time when we refocus our lives. We get back to school, shut down our summer cabins, and
get back into a regular routine. It is also a time to look at our priorities and what is important in our
life. The recent International Catholic Stewardship Conference in Orlando Florida was opened with
a homily by the Most Reverend Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami. He pointed out the �
importance of stewardship in our lives.�
�
In Saint Mark’s Gospel we have witnessed the beginning of Jesus’ ministry when he gathered a group of disciples to himself,
and he went about Galilee doing good through some remarkable miracles. Jesus didn’t start off talking about the cross. He
started off by first making friends, establishing relationships with people; people whom he met at their level, speaking their
language. I think this is perhaps the genius of Pope Francis. He understands that evangelization is first about an encounter.
“Come and see,” Jesus tells those first disciples. They come, they spend time with him and they follow him because his per-
sonality, his words, his deeds are attractive. In a word, they experience the joy of the Gospel. �
�
“Restore our Joy!” This is a wonderful theme for the ICSC conference this week, especially as you prepare for a �
transformational future beyond this current Coronavirus environment. But I would be remiss if I did not thank you, not only
in my name, but also in the name of all the bishops for gathering together to pray, reflect and strengthen each other for the
task ahead and for all that you do for the Church to promote stewardship. �
�
All of our parishes and dioceses have experienced some financial pain during these past several months in which the �
normality of our lives has been disrupted. Our diocesan stewardship offices around the country have done great work in
encouraging people to give online, not only to help our parishes but to help our people who also were hurting financially
because of this virus. Even if it did not infect all of us, it certainly has affected every one of us. �
�
Of course, stewardship is not about increasing the Sunday offertory collection. It is not about fundraising. Stewardship is
not a program. It is a way of life. It is the way of life for those who have opened wide the doors of their hearts to Christ. �
�
The road map towards a transformational future and the restoration of our joy lies in presenting Christ as he really is. For
to be a Christian is not a burden but a gift, having encountered him is the best thing that has happened to us and to share
him with others by the gifts of our time, talent and treasure, even at the cost of our very selves, is good stewardship. And it
brings us joy. �
Please join us for the third public Rosary on Saturday, October 16th at NOON.
This is in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary. Thank You, Joanne Gerlach

lecting non�perishable food, personal care
items and household items for them dur-

should be made payable to the Franciscan Brothers of
Peace. Donations of items can be left on the table in the

Enduring Faith: The Story of Native American
Catholics. Available for all to watch at kofc.org/
enduringfaith. This documentary film on the faith, perse-
verance and inspiring example of Indigenous Peoples
across North America dives deep into the rich contribution
of Native Americans in the tapestry of the Catholic faith.
Produced by the Knights of Columbus �
Last week, we cited a statement from Pope�now Saint
Paul VI. here is a prayer on the topic of witnessing to the
faith: “(M)ay the world of our time, which is searching,
sometimes with anguish, sometimes with hope, be enabled
to receive the Good News not from evangelizers who are
dejected, discouraged, impatient or anxious, but from minis-
ters of the Gospel whose lives glow with fervor, who have
first received the joy of Christ.” If you haven’t done so al-
ready, please take time to join us this Wednesday after 9:30
Mass or at 6:30. Perhaps we are “dejected” and so on not
from faith but from upheaval in the world around us. The
small group synod practices prayer, listening, discussion,
and responding. Doing it together will help. Hope to see
you this week!�
St. Katharine’s Delivers!�

Stewardship Corner��
Jesus offers a hard lesson regarding wealth and pos-
sessions in today’s Gospel. The rich man whom he
encountered could not part with his possessions as a
condition to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Would
our response be the same as the rich man? Do we
place our trust in our money and possessions instead
of trusting in God’s generosity? Do we seek security
in our possessions? Good stewards realize that their
possessions must not possess them, lest those pos-
sessions block their relationship with the Lord.

Panentheism: �A Way of �Seeing �
God's Presence in the World�
�
Colossians 3:11 tells us "There is only Christ. He is every-
thing and he is in everything." �Panentheism views God as
present in the universe yet more than the universe. �It under-
lies Fr. Richard Rohr's "Universal Christ." �It is also found
in the writings of Muslim Sufi mystics, Celtic spirituality,
and has recently found favor with many in the science and
religion dialogue. �What would a panentheistic God imply
for our salvation, creation, and God's agency in the world?�
Friday, October 22, presentation from 9am �1pm, Emmaus

Holiday Drama/Concert/Pageant
We have a parish event scheduled for Sunday the
12th of December. Would you like to be part of it?
*Kate's Christmas *is envisioned as a presentation of
Advent/Christmas based on events in the real life of
Katharine Drexel.��
Who is needed? Singers, musicians, actors, a direc-
tor, dancers, a choreographer, stage crew, �
costumer, the usual drama needs. The personnel we
get will determine the level of detail in the production.
Right now, it's looking like mostly a concert with some
narration. But the involvement of children, teens, and
adults of all skills will allow us to make a memorable
and unique holiday experience. ��

March 2021 Volume 4, Issue 1 � �
Fr. Jerry’s letter.��
One day they might cuddle up to you and whis-
per in your ear that you are the greatest Mom and
the best cook in all the world, while the next day they ac-
cuse you of poisoning them with all the food they hate.
They claim that they are responsible and that you treat them
like babies, yet when it comes to responsibility, they more
often than not handle it as if they have heads full of helium.
And how their moods change…one moment you marvel at
how they demonstrate the “Wisdom of Solomon,” while the
next moment they act as if they gave up all thinking and
reasoning for Lent. One moment they treat you as if you are
their best friend, the next can find them flooded with the
mixture of emotions that come with budding adolescence
and you wonder when you invited aliens for dinner.�
