Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor’s Notes September 16, 2018 CONSTRUCTIVE STEPS As our bulle n goes to press I want to note that on September 13 Pope Francis will meet with Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Cardinal Sean O'Malley. Their discussion should include several serious topics in the life of the Church today: the resigna on of Archbishop McCarrick, the response to allega ons of abuse of minors by clergy, and the need for greater transparency in such serious ma ers. It was also announced today that the Pope will meet in Rome this February with the bishops who are presidents of na onal conferences of bishops throughout the world; the mee ng will focus on the topic of the protec on of minors. These two developments are important steps in addressing situa ons that are impac ng the lives of individuals as well as the larger community of the Church. Please let me or any member of our staff know your concerns about any of these situa ons; we are here to support one another as brothers and sisters in our Lord.
THE GIFT OF MUSIC St. Raphael will welcome "Octava," a group of eight singers from Krakow in Poland for a concert here next Sunday September 23 at 12:15 pm. Music will be sung in English, La n and Polish. I have heard Octava sing live and in person; they are excellent singers with a broad repertoire. Please join us on Sunday; I encourage you to bring friends and invite you to purchase one of the CDs that will be on sale a er the concert.
I WILL GIVE YOU SHEPHERDS St. Raphael is blessed to have two seminarians from Mundelein Seminary join us on a regular basis for the next eight months. Colin Patrick is a pre- Theologian at Mundelein; he is preparing to become a priest of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the Archdiocese of the Military Services. Christopher Nowak of Gaylord in Michigan is a Theologian in his third year of theological studies. Both men will be here next weekend to introduce themselves and speak on behalf of the annual collec on in support of the Colin seminaries. Please join me in welcoming Colin and Chris. Chris
YOUNG AT HEART CLUB Last week I met with a dozen members of the parish who are interested in forming an organiza on for parishioners and their family members who are 50 years of age and older. At this point, I would like to have a mee ng for all who are interested in becoming members of the group. Would Thursday October 4 be a good day to meet? Could we meet at 9:15 am that day? If the feedback on the date and me is posi ve, I will confirm the plan in the bulle n next week. Stay tuned for more details.
In our Lord, Fr. Mike McGovern [email protected]
