This Week, from the St. Susanna Vincentians... In the Gospel today, Jesus says to us, “This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you…You are my friends if you do what I command you.” By your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you fulfill this commandment.

Fiscal 2020-21 Third Quarter Ending March 31st Financial Update In addition to our annual report to the parish, we are going to place financial updates in our bulletin quarterly throughout the year.

At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020-2021, total parish revenue (including collections, stock donations, fees, school tuition, preschool tuition, and lunchroom receipts) is down $182,557.68 versus the budget. This does not include special donations to Outreach ministries. The major contributing factors to the reduced income are lower collections with the lower Mass attendance, and lower school tuition revenue due to lower enrollment this school year.

We are closely monitoring expenses and taking expense control measures where we are able. Through the third quarter, we have been able to reduce expenses $323,646.99 versus our budget through the end of March. Our fourth quarter expenses will be higher this year as we have resumed more normal operations versus being shutdown due to the pandemic last year during the fourth quarter. We also have an additional payroll period falling in the fourth quarter this year.

Our parish loan balance at the end of December stands at $1,246,411.58 We are continuing to pay an additional $5,000 per month on the principle above the monthly scheduled payment and the collections from the debt reduction envelopes.

Thank you for your continued support of our parish, school and the many ministries being offered at St. Susanna. God Bless. ADULTADULT FAITHFAITH FORMATIONFORMATION

he story about Cornelius shows that God’s call is not restricted by our likes and dislikes. Cornelius wasT a Roman, a citizen of the nation that was occupying Israel. More than that, he served in a military that exercised harsh control over the inhabitants of the land. A man like this would not have been loved by the Jews of the day. However, Cornelius recognized Peter as a representative of God, and his fundamental faith opened him to the gift of the Holy Spirit. All those who were listening to Peter’s words were then baptized. They were then one with the community of believers. Faith, baptism, and incorporation into the community of believers are offered to Jew and Roman alike. They are offered today to those who are members of our own religious, racial, or ethnic groups and those who are not; those who are socially or politically vulnerable, and those with power. The issue is not who does God favor, but who favors God. The Gospel story reinforces this point. It insists that God’s love for us is the foundation of everything. We are told: “Love one another as I love you” (John 15:12). God’s love is all-inclusive. So should our love be all-inclusive. If God’s love is for all, it follows that we are all favored by God—all chosen and cared for by him. This includes even those who might be our political adversaries, or who might exercise exacting authority over us, or who cherish different religious ideas. Imitating God’s love requires that we will goodness to others—even those with whom we disagree or who have caused us harm. [Jesus said,] Sr. Dianne Bergant, CSA “Love one another as I love you. FOR Reflection No one has greater
