MISSION STATEMENT: St. Michael Catholic Community is a welcoming parish where people come together to worship, learn, and grow in faith. Through our actions we demonstrate our beliefs in fellowship, service and generous tithing of time, talent, and treasure. We care for one another and receive comfort and support in our own times of need. All are encouraged to participate in the journey to live by Christ's example and build the Kingdom of God.

From Fr. Mike...

Does everyone remember The Andy Griffith Show? Andy Taylor was the sheriff of Mayberry, assisted by his dutiful sidekick deputy, Barney Fife. Andy had a cute little son, Opie, and he and Opie lived in Mayberry with Aunt Bee. Aunt Bee was played by Frances Bavier. Bavier was cast as a loving, doting, never-get-angry matron who always prepared wonderful home-cooked meals and fresh pie for dessert. She was like everyone’s grandmother…in her screen life. In her real life, it was different. Her biographers characterized her as mean- spirited, cantankerous, and someone with a short fuse. How’s that for a kick in the pants? Aunt Bee was a witch. It is akin to being flipped off by Mother Teresa. I can’t get that through my head. It’s that hard to believe. Recall the couple that played opposite Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball in “I Love Lucy”? Fred and Ethel Mertz were the typical, long-married, loving, honest, not-easily-offended-by-each-other’s-foibles couple. In real life, Vivian Vance, who played Ethel, hated her counterpart William Frawley. She was offended by the

(Connued on page 2)

Last Sunday at 9:45am Mass we celebrated the Scouting movement, recognizing Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownies, Cub Scouts, and Heritage Girls. Great groups for our young people to be involved in. There was a special blessing by Fr. Tim and we had a commemorative patch for all the scouts present, supplied by David Pranger, one of the Scout leaders.

looks of him. He was too old for her. Yet, on stage they were a hit; in real life, they were sworn enemies. It was reported that Vivian was at a restaurant when the news reports came on that Frawley died (Frawley left Desilu studios to play Uncle Bub on My 3 Sons with Fred MacMurray). She jumped up with her glass in hand and shouted: “Champagne is on me.” Robert Young was a wise and caring Dad in Fr. Mike Continued from Page 1 Father Knows Best and later he was cast as a compassionate and wise physician in Marcus Welby, MD. What most people didn’t know is that Young struggled with the disease of alcoholism and a debilitating depression throughout most of his life. The problem we have in the Church is that we sometimes feel like we have a role to play, that we need to put on a persona in order to do the Lord’s work. We think we cannot ever get angry. We can never be tempted by greed or lust. We can never be lazy or do anything crazy if we are going to be among the Lord’s disciples. We must become like Aunt Bee in our lovingness, compassionate as Marcus Welby, and as forgiving and easy-going as the Mertz’. The reality doesn’t match up to us like it didn’t to them. We simply cannot live up to the standards we set for ourselves. We got to stop that. Jesus didn’t call people because they were saints. He called people because they were sinners and needed conversion. There are plenty of biblical examples of the disciple’s unworthiness. They were petty, ambitious, argumentative, competitive, and resentful of one another. Jesus, however, saw their potential and called them. Looking at the disciples before and after the Pentecost Event, the coming of the Holy Spirit and the forming of the community of the Church, there was a huge difference. But I wonder if that difference was an immediate change or a slow one? Did they all of a sudden morph into superhero disciples and evangelizers or did that transformation occur slowly like it did in St. Paul’s own life. With Paul there was a definite experience of God when he was knocked off that horse on his way to Damascus, but that led to a period of blindness and months of reflection before he went out on his first missionary venture (some scholars suggest as much as a dozen years). Reading his letters, Paul seems to change and grow through the work he did among God’s people. He became mature in his spirituality and his pastoral approach to people. I suspect the other disciples did the same. And I suspect the same thing happens to us as well. We all have our issues. Some of those habits are deeply ingrained in us. If we are fortunate enough to hear the first call of the Lord to share our faith with others, there may be a temptation on my part to think, me? With this mouth? With my background? I suspect those same thoughts went through the head of Matthew the tax collector or Paul the persecutor of Christians or maybe the man we think of as the doubter, Thomas. And they didn’t stand on pretenses. They didn’t play any roles. They seemed to let it all hang out at times, deserting Jesus when he needed them, denying they knew him, or even betraying him. I suspect what happens from the time of our first call to being knee deep in the work of the Lord, there is a change that continues to happen in us all. It’s an on-going conversion. We are all doing it. Now. I guess I am trying to say that we cannot play a role around God. God knows us too well. But God also sees our potential, what we’re capable of, before we see it in ourselves. And God calls out to us: follow me. And we follow. And the Pentecost Event begins.

Fr. Mike

With my stay in the hospital and surgery The 40 days of Lent are built on three last year, I missed out on a lot of riding pillars: fasting, almsgiving, and penance/ time so I am chomping at the bit (so to prayer.

Joseph Bucki, Jr. age 77, died February 9. Beloved husband of Susan. Dear father of Lisa Bucki, Dr. Jennifer Bucki, Joseph Bucki III, Matthew (Armanda) Kosciolek, and Eric (Sarah) Kosciolek. Loving Papa of one.

Ernest Hornung, age 73, died February 8. Beloved husband of Patricia. Loving father of Ernest (Lisa), Matthew, and Timothy (Fiancé Ryan) Hornung. Dearest grandfather of six. Please remember in your prayers those who have died. 5 EǞǓǟǥǞǤǕǢ Lɔɝɣ We are called forth from the desert to encounter resurrection.

Lent gives us the opportunity to encounter Christ in the desert. With him, we face the temptaon to despair in the face of the world’s deepest needs, to throw up our hands in defeat. In Jesus’ struggle, we find ourselves struggling: we are afraid of not having enough, afraid of not doing enough, afraid of not being enough. But, just as Jesus emerged from the desert forfied to begin his ministry, so too do we emerge from the desert of Lent ready to encounter the needs of the world with the hope of the Resurrecon.

Yet, somemes our fears can be paralyzing. We find ourselves focusing all of our energy inward. We find ourselves doubng if we have enough, if we’ve done enough, if we are enough—and we are afraid to act. Scripture reminds us me and again: “Be not afraid.” In the person of Jesus—and in the countless holy women and men who have followed him— we see the power of giving fearlessly, of sacrificing what we have and what we are for the good of others.

Bolstered by faith, Jesus showed courage when confronted by fear. He did not waver in reaching out to those most in need. And we’re called to do the same, trusng that our lives can be ones of fearless encounter poinng to the hope of the Resurrecon.

CRS Rice Bowls give us an opportunity to reach out to our neighbors in need, no maer where they live. During this me of encounter, we will visit the countries of: Guatemala, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone and Gaza with Catholic Relief Services.

Rice Bowls will be handed out by Chrisan Service members a er both Masses on Ash Wednesday, March 6th; then will be available in the Gathering Spaces through Lent unl gone. Please be sure to take home a Rice Bowl, read and reflect on the material enclosed and use this fun and easy resource to deepen your family’s Lenten encounter and make a difference in the lives of the poor. We will be collecng your contribuons during the Offertory on Palm Sunday Weekend, April 13th & 14th.

Encounter ourselves. Encounter our neighbors. Encounter our God. Encounter Lent.
