ST. MARY MAGDALEN BRIGHTON, MI SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 9, 2021 FROM FR. RYAN  Holy Hour Just a reminder that we continue to pray together every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm - 8:00pm before the Blessed Sacrament.   Knights of Columbus !e Knights of Columbus held their pasty sale last weekend and sold out! Proceeds will go to help several organizations including Magdalen’s Kitchen, seminarians, veterans, and various charitable organizations. I am very impressed with our council of Knights and extend my sincere thanks for all their help, hard work, and generosity.   Dispensaon You all should have received a letter from me inviting each of you back to Mass the weekend of May 22/23, as Boyea li1s the dispensation originally granted to the faithful last year at the beginning of the pandemic so as to 2atten the curve of infections in order to help hospitals cope with numbers. As we approach the days when the dispensation will be li1ed, I’ve noted some concerns expressed by some parishioners. Let me be clear - those who really and truly 5nd themselves at a higher risk of serious complications from Covid-19, such as those over 65 years of age, those who are pregnant, or those with underlying conditions that make them more susceptible to serious illness, would certainly fall within the category of being excused for a serious reason.

As the number of those vaccinated continues to increase, the external precautions taken by institutions throughout the state will lessen, and individuals, who have the clearest sense of their own risk, will take greater responsibility for taking advantage of precautions as needed. By now you have all seen the parish plan for re-engagement and, for the time being, the 4:30pm vigil Mass will continue to be available for those seeking more stringent precautions. !e Sunday 9:00am and 11:00am Masses will increase to 100% capacity by the weekend of May 22–23. So there will be options for those at risk while at the same time making it possible for all of the faithful to attend Sunday Mass. Again, I understand the hesitancy of some of our brothers and sisters. However, daily cases continue to drop in our state and county, and Gov. Whitmer has released her plan to re-engage the state as vaccinations increase.

All of this gives us freedom to again take up the obligation to attend the Sunday Eucharist. Indeed, as Bishop Boyea has written, “the duty to observe Sunday is in gratitude to God for creating us, for redeeming us, and for oAering us the means of holiness and sancti5cation for our 5nal journey home to heaven. !is is a sweet duty, an obligation which binds our hearts and souls to the Father. Benedict XVI (May 29, 2005, Marisabella, Italy) noted the response of the Tunisian Christian, Emeritus, as to why he had de5ed the Imperial orders not to celebrate the Eucharist (around 304 AD): Sine dominico non possumus, ‘without Sunday we cannot live.’ Benedict added: ‘the Sunday precept is not, therefore, an externally imposed duty, a burden on our shoulders. On the contrary, taking part in the Celebration, being nourished by the Eucharistic Bread and experiencing the communion of their brothers and sisters in is a need for Christians, it is a joy.’”

While it is true that if we “deliberately fail in this obligation” to attend Mass on Sundays “we commit a grave sin” (CCC 2181), we are certainly excused for serious reasons, “for example, illness, the care of infants,” and parishioners can even be dispensed on an individual basis by their pastor (CCC 2181).

Bishop Boyea will be gi1ing every family a blessed candle as we return to Mass the weekend of May 22–23. !e candle is designed to be lit for one hour a day for eight days as we all pray during the eight days from to Trinity Sunday for those who have not yet returned to Mass or for those who cannot come to Mass because of illness, vulnerability, etc. Cary Schmidt and Jean Shebak will have more information on this next week. 

ST. MARY MAGDALEN BRIGHTON, MI SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 9, 2021 FROM FR. RYAN

Upcoming Meengs I just wanted to share with you we have two rather large, upcoming meetings being held in our parish. On June 3 all the priests of the diocese will gather with Bishop Boyea and his staA from 10:00am to 6:00pm to discuss Realignment of Re- sources for Mission. I may be asking some of our various groups and committees such as the Knights of Columbus for help with this endeavor as details get worked out.

On June 16 the Lay Ecclesial Ministers and Catechists of the diocese will gather for a similar meeting, discussing Realign- ment of Resources for Mission. Again, the details are being worked out.

It is always a blessing to accommodate such events as well as a true act of charity on behalf of the parish and our staA. I am happy to host our Bishop, priests, and these types of meetings.  Fr. Paul Erickson Fr. Paul Erickson was here last week to walk the property, meet some of the staA, and get a feel for the parish. He will be taking Sunday Masses periodically beginning Sunday May 16 at 9:00am and 11:00am so everyone can meet him and get acquainted with him as well. He and I had lunch together and he is now oRcially a lifetime member of Block Brewing’s Mug Club! He already loves it here!

I have been having Mass with the staA since I arrived here on Wednesdays at 12:15pm in the daily Mass chapel. Fr. Paul will be here on a Wednesday to be determined to have Mass with the staA and then a cookout at the rectory. !is will be a great way to introduce himself in a prayerful and less formal environment.  Be Loved and Stay Awesome! Fr. Ryan  HOLY HOUR

We have a holy hour in our worship space every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. !is began on April 7 and will continue for the foreseeable future. It is good to have some time to come together and pray as a community – to pray for our parish, for Fr. Shaun, for Bishop Boyea, for all those involved, and for whatever else might be on our hearts. !is is a simple holy hour with the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar. At 8:00pm either Fr. Ryan or one of the deacons will repose the Blessed Sacrament a1er a brief prayer and benediction. Please come and sit with the Lord! What is a Holy Hour? A Holy Hour is spending some time in silence with the Lord. Just as Mary, 's sister, sat at the feet of listening to him, a Holy Hour is time set aside so that we too can sit with Jesus. Please join us as we pray for our parish and our world. See the Adult Formation page on our website to 5nd out more information about some ideas for how to spend that time.

ST. MARY MAGDALEN BRIGHTON, MI SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 9, 2021 LOOKING FORWARD IN HOPE: A Reflecon On Our Parish Today

Twenty-eight years ago, the Diocese of Lansing invited Catholics from around the Brighton area to gather together to form St. Mary Magdalen Parish. !rough the prayer, generosity, and hard work of that core group of parishioners and many who joined over the years, St. Mary Magdalen went from an idea on paper to a group of people meeting in a gym, to a new building and tremendous growth, and then to a second building campaign because we had already outgrown our space. In that time, we celebrated countless baptisms, weddings, funerals, First Communions, Con5rmations, and we received hundreds into the Catholic faith, growing as a parish to about 1600 families. God has accomplished great things in this parish!! For the past two years, we’ve suAered the greatest challenges and setbacks of those 28 years. From the retirement of our founding pastor, Fr. Dave, to the COVID crisis, to the administrative leave of Fr. Shaun, we’ve been through a lot of transition. And naturally, in times of transition, people feel a variety of emotions: mourning, bewilderment, disillusionment, anger, frustration, and probably more than anything else, a desire to get back what we lost. !e pattern of salvation, both in history, and in each of our lives is the Paschal Mystery: dying and rising in Christ. What we have experienced these last two years for many feels a lot like a kind of dying. But as followers of Jesus Christ, we know the story did not end on the cross. Our own patron, St. Mary Magdalen, was the 5rst witness to the glorious resurrection of the Lord. In the resurrection, the disciples were given a new hope so great they went from hiding in their rooms to proclaiming the Gospel message throughout the known world. !at’s why I am writing to you today. To invite each one of us to oAer our mourning, bewilderment, disillusionment, anger, and frustration to God so he can transform it and give us healing and hope for the future. Like the disciples, we are invited to trust in the hope of the resurrection. How do we get back what we have lost? I believe we already know how to do this. It was a group of committed Catholics inspired by the Holy Spirit who made the dream of this parish a reality, and it will be a group of committed Catholics— all of us working together—who will, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, rebuild our parish and make us strong again. As the threat of COVID wanes and we move into restoring the programs and oAerings at this parish, let us move forward with hope, and with the welcoming, loving spirit that we are known for. Let us ask the Lord to take away any negative emotions and energy and transform it into positive hope and energy we can use to build up right here at St. Mary Magdalen. Let us pray that God will stir up a renaissance of faith and growth in our community so we can continue to bring Christ to the world! As St. Paul wrote to the church at Philippi and we have prayed so many times over the years: “May the Lord who began this good work in you continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Yours in Christ, Deacon Devon Wolfe
