Bilot The book will be available in July, and we have ordered many copies for the parish. When it arrives, I strongly urge you to read the book and pass it on. This past month, the Archbishop Please continue to pray for myself, Fr. Bob McCabe, announced, in response to the Synod and and for our parishes, as we all make the transition in the Unleash the Gospel, that there will be no next week. My final bulletin article will be next weekend, more Sunday sporting events in Catholic June 30. I begin at St. Paul, Grosse Pointe Farms, on schools. In 2016, when bishops, priests, July 1. religious and laypeople of the Archdiocese came together for an intensive time of In Peace, discernment and planning, one of the action steps was eliminating athletic Fr. Jim Bilot games/practices on Sunday. This information was put forth in the Pastoral Letter, Unleash the Gospel, with a timetable of implementation. This time has come. I know that the news is met both with happiness and disappointment. Even I have mixed feelings about the decision, because there are pros and cons to any decision made. However, I believe we need to defer to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Our parish, at every weekend Mass from May until November of 2016, prayed for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Synod assembly (as did most of the parishes in the Archdiocese). The Holy Spirit is going to guide us into unchartered waters, and it is very uncomfortable for many of us - - sports enthusiast or not. May God continue to shine through you and I met with our Athletic Directors, Mike Opiela and Mark Ellul bless you abundantly in your priestly for CYO (grade school level), and Garrett Simpson and Ben ministry. Cronin for the high school. (It is interesting to note that the Thank you for your loving service to the Catholic high schools typically do not have games on Sunday.) In meeting with the ADs, a game plan has been established so Catholic Church and to your Divine Child all sports, in all seasons, have equitable playing time on the field Family. We love you! or in the gyms. There are many sports at many grade levels that need to be accommodated. The ADs have done a wonderful job coordinating schedules for the next academic year. I am confident, despite the weather-related issues and Fr. Jim’s new residence potential schedule changes, that everyone will have ample beginning July 1, 2019 practice and playing time. In the end, I hope and pray that the now-available time on St. Paul on the Lake Sunday is used to help build up the family unit. It would be a Catholic Church dark moment if the time that was previously carved out for sporting events was replaced with shopping and working around 157 Lake Shore Road the home. The point of a no-sports Sunday is to help families Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236 reconnect on the home front and attend Mass as a family. I also ask that those who are affected by these changes see 313.885.8855 parish office the no-sports Sunday as an opportunity to grow in holiness and www.stpaulonthelake.org not an opportunity to begin travel sports. Many travel sports occur on the weekend and these organizations do not care about Sunday Mass and family bonds. We need to be vigilant, trusting in the Holy Spirit and not the cultural norms.
