January, 2010 St. Philip the Apostle Council 9884 Brothers and Sisters, December was a rough month for some council members, and it serves as a great reminder of the reason to support each other materially, fraternally, and through prayers. I want to thank all of the brothers who helped out in the various capacities needed throughout the month. You were all the embodiment of fraternity that truly drives the order. Everyone, please keep the prayers ongoing for all our brothers in need. Council Christmas Party I want to thank all who were able to share in the Christmas spirit with the council. Everyone had a good time with good friends, and the traditional Hula Girl white elephant gift made her annual appearance and will once again go home with a new family this year (hopefully to return again next year) Newsletter Alert: Gone Green This is the first mostly electronic version of the newsletter. While we believe we have everyone who still wants a hard copy marked down and updated email addresses for everyone else, if you talk with a brother who does not get a copy in one form or another please have them contact me at [email protected] or 469-831-5944. Fraternally, Joe Walker, GK As usual, what a great evening we had! There was plenty of help setting up and brother was it needed because the trailer was so far away from Hubbard Hall room. I think everyone had some pizza (hot & cold). Dealing started an hour late, which was ok as it gave us time to fraternize). Dealing still stopped at 10:30 pm; so two- hours of dealing paid the same as three. What a deal!! Special thanks to "pit-crew chief", SK Rich Lubke for tending to a finicky truck that night. We had a nice turn out of 28-dealers including two new men, Tomas Martinez and Jim Wagner. A special thanks to you two. Then there were several dealers that we hadn't seen in awhile, which was also very good; Out of the 95 dealers on our 'on-call' list, if each could do at least one or two a year, then that would be a load off the 30 regulars who usually make all 13-casinos per year. Major kudos to those who served this night. We received feedback from Point Bank that they had a fun night, which is a great reflection on each and every one of you. So here you are, those dealers in no certain order: Dan Jacobs, Jim Coyle, Newsletter Editor-in-Chief and Inside Guard "LJ" (SK Lawrence Jermyn), David Centilli, Marco Melara, Bill Wilbur, SK Bill Miller, Bob Forsyth, 4th Degree Faithful Navigator SK Brian Friesenhahn, Brian Lea, SK Mark Miles, Paul Martinez, Chris Angus, Warden George Driscoll, Johnny Strange, 4th Degree Faithful comptroller SK Ken Johann, Pete Hatton, Grand Knight Joe Walker, Treasurer SK Rich Lubke, Deputy Grand Knight SK Bob LaCroix, Vince Zawlocki, Dave Garner, Pete Whelan, LeRoy Terrio, Mike Wykrant and Charter Member Frank Fehrenbach, a regular.

    POPE NAMES BISHOP KEVIN VANN TO ORANGE, CALIFORNIA; ACCEPTS RESIGNATIONS OF BISHOPS OF ORANGE, ROCHESTER, N.Y.; NAMES APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR FOR ROCHESTER WASHINGTON—Pope Benedict XVI has named Bishop Kevin W. Vann of Fort Worth, Texas, 61, to be bishop of Orange, California, and accepted the resignation of Bishop Tod D. Brown, 75, from the pastoral government of the diocese. The pope also accepted the resignation of Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, New York, 75, from the pastoral governance of the Rochester diocese and named Bishop Robert J. Cunningham of Syracuse, New York, 69, as apostolic administrator of the Rochester diocese until the appointment and installation of a new bishop there. The appointments were publicized in Washington September 21, by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Kevin Vann was born May 10, 1951, in Springfield, Illinois and was ordained a priest for the diocese of Springfield in 1981. He earned a doctorate in canon law in 1985 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas (Angelicum) in Rome. In the Springfield Diocese he served as associate pastor, pastor, and on the staff of the diocesan tribunal. In 2005, he was named coadjutor bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, to succeed Bishop Joseph Delaney, who died one day before Bishop-designate Vann was ordained bishop. Bishop Brown, a native of San Francisco, was ordained priest of the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno, California, in 1962. He was named bishop of Boise, Idaho in 1988, and Bishop of Orange in 1998. Bishop Clark, a native of Troy, New York, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Albany, New York, in 1962.

The most significant of its restrictions is that “Places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. This limitation will be in effect for the first 21-days of a county public health department’s approval of religious services … at places of worship within their jurisdictions.”.” In subsequent weekly meetings with the Pastors and Business Managers of the Parishes of the Diocese, our Bishop, Most Rev. Kevin Vann, has made it abundantly clear that his over-riding interest is in protecting the Common Good, that is, in the health and welfare of our parishioners, especially “the weakest among us,” our Seniors and those with underlying health conditions. Further, Bishop Vann has made it clear that he is not being guided by politics of any kind, but rather and above all by the medical experts at the world-class St.

Little girl, I say to you, arise! Mark 5:41 Page two 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's corner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, On this 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel Reading contains the cure of two seriously ill individuals. The daughter of Jairus, the synagogue official, was at the point of death and a woman had been afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. Can you imagine how frantic and anxious this father felt? His beloved daughter was dying and everyone around him was telling him to get ready for her death. Was this the same synagogue official who had scolded Jesus for curing on the sabbath? (See Luke 13:10-17) If so, did he remember that Jesus had cured the woman who had been unable to stand erect for eighteen years? The synagogue official searched for Jesus, and when he found him, begged him to come cure his dying daughter. While on his way, a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years pushed through the crowd around Jesus and touched his cloak. Her flow of blood dried up and she felt cured. Has that ever happened to you? You were sick for a long time but finally started feeling better? Did you feel relief, joy, and many other emotions? This woman, who was now cured, heard Jesus say, “Who touched my clothes?” She became fearful.

  • Holy See Names Fort Worth Bishop Kevin Vann As Ecclesiastical Delegate for Pastoral Provision
    Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth For Immediate Release November 15, 2011 CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH For more information Contact Pat Svacina 817-560-3300 Cell: 817-996-9609 Holy See Names Fort Worth Bishop Kevin Vann as Ecclesiastical Delegate for Pastoral Provision Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth Bishop Kevin W. Vann has been appointed the Ecclesiastical Delegate for the Pastoral Provision in the United States by Holy See, Washington, D.C. Cardinal Donald Wuerl announced Tuesday during the Fall meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic of Bishops in Baltimore. Bishop Vann is succeeding Newark Archbishop John J. Myers who has been the delegate since 2003. Bishop Vann assumes the office of delegate immediately. As the Ecclesiastical Delegate for the Pastoral Provision, Bishop Vann will be the Holy See’s delegate assisting former Anglican ministers who have been received into the Catholic Church and who wish to be ordained as Catholic priests. The Pastoral Provision has been in effect in the United States since 1980. This appointment is made by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Among the duties of the Ecclesiastical Delegate is to ensure the former Anglican ministers in formation receive thorough theological, spiritual and pastoral preparation for ordained ministry in the Catholic Church. Once formation is completed, the former Anglican minister becomes eligible to petition for Sacred Orders, which leads to the diaconate and priesthood. The Pastoral Provision is under the jurisdiction of the Holy See’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. As the Congregation’s delegate, Bishop Vann is responsible for the on-going work and application of the Pastoral Provision in United States.

    SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST | JUNE 6, 2021 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Page two The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Pastor's corner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. These verses are found in Psalm 116, which is today’s Responsorial Psalm. These are the verses I had on the holy card I gave out on June 14, 1980, the day of my ordination to the Priesthood. The next verses of the Psalm say it well: My vows to the Lord I will pay in the presence of all his people. The following day, June 15, I celebrated my First Mass here at St. Bonaventure. Again, the verses of this Psalm cry out: To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. After forty-one years, the verses of Psalm 116 are still at the heart of my vocation to the Priesthood. Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (traditionally called Corpus Christi). Today we celebrate the greatest gift our Lord Jesus Christ gave us—the gift of himself. At the Last Supper, taking unleavened bread, Jesus pronounced the words, “Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body, which will be given up for you.” Then taking the chalice of wine, he said, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
