Pray for our great country! This week, I want to offer you some updates. Welcome back Zachary Galante! Zachary’s next year of seminary formation will happen at Holy Trinity and St. Michael. Throughout the year, we will be blessed to have him serving our parishes and we pray that this work will continue to prepare him for the priesthood. Welcome back Fr. Don Anstoetter! Fr. Anstoetter is a seminary classmate from St. Louis and a good friend. He is spending the next month at the Holy Trinity rectory working on his doctoral dissertation, which focusses on liturgy as a work of art. He currently is the Director of Liturgy for Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis and he cheers for this average ball club named after a bird that currently is 8 games back from your NL central leader, the Milwaukee Brewers! Anyway, we also are blessed to have him help with Masses—a blessing for me because I get a break and for you because you finally get to hear someone else! A welcome change for sure! Please continue to encourage your family members and friends to return to Mass! We are averaging about 90% of our pre-covid Sunday Mass attendance. Our Catholic faith is only as strong as our faith in the Mass as the memorial of Christ’s love and the Eucharist as the Real Presence of Christ. We are so blessed that Christ left us the Mass to assure us that, through the trials of this life, we are never alone: he is always with us, loving us to the end. Thank you to St. Michael parishioners for donating to the organ/piano fund! We are still researching options for replacing both instruments soon. The St. Michael rectory is also getting a facelift as we prepare for new tenants. If you know of a family who would be interested in renting the rectory, please let me know! Thank you to Holy Trinity parishioners (and others) for supporting the summer parking lot/rectory projects. The rectory air conditioning project is complete! The old garage is demolished and will be rebuilt bigger and better this summer. Part of the new garage will be designated for parish storage. The parking lot will be excavated within the next few weeks, a new foundation will be prepared, and blacktop will be laid before Social Fest and the start of school. The rectory will also get a new roof, new windows, and an additional full bathroom before the end of summer. Last week, Holy Trinity hosted Love Begins Here, which is a local mission trip for young people around the archdiocese. About a dozen middle schoolers from HT & SM participated. Through the week, the 40 middle schoolers, the chaperones, and the leadership team prayed together, received formative talks, had good discussions, and volunteered in the local community. Throughout the week, they were inspired by St. Teresa of Calcutta to do small things with great love. Every day, I have moments where I am overcome with gratitude to our parishioners for giving witness to your faith in Jesus Christ by doing things like serving the elderly and those in need, praying hard at Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, volunteering at the parishes, giving financial support, enduring the struggles of life with hope and love, and finding unique ways to bring the light of Christ into the world.

  • President's Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families
    President’s Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families, Happy Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels! Yesterday we celebrated our patronal feast and the 3rd anniversary of the dedication of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Chapel. As our fourth year is now underway, we can look back and celebrate the many accomplishments of SMA in the past and look forward to our exciting future together, confident that our patron, St. Michael, will defend us in the battle. Whenever I visit the doctor, there are four words I never like to hear: “Now this may hurt.” That message brings about two responses in me, the first is one of dread… it means I’m going to be experiencing something I really don’t want! Secondly, I brace in anticipation of what is about to happen; I’m able to make myself ready for the event. September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows (in Latin, the seven “dolors”). When Mary encountered Simeon in the temple, she heard the same message in a more intense form, “this ​is going to hurt.” The prophet told her, ​A sword will pierce through your own soul.​ Mary, a new mother still in wonder at the miraculous birth of her child, now hears that her life is going to be integrally tied to his sufferings. So September is always a month linked to compassion; the compassion Mary had for her son and has for us. It is also a reminder of the compassion we can have for each other.

  • St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us PRAYER BOARD ACTIVITY
    SEPTEMBER Activity 6 St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us PRAYER BOARD ACTIVITY Age level: All ages Recommended time: 10 minutes What you need: St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us (page 158 in the students' activity book), SophiaOnline.org/StMichaeltheArchangel (optional), colored pencils and/or markers, and scissors Activity A. Explain to your students that we have been learning that the Devil and his fallen angels tempt us to sin. We can pray a special, very powerful prayer to St. Michael to help us combat these evil spirits. St. Michael is not a saint, but an archangel. The archangels are leaders of the other angels. According to both Scripture and Catholic Tradition, St. Michael is the leader of the army of God. He is often shown in paintings and iconography in a scene from the book of Revelation, where he and his angels battle the dragon. He is the patron of soldiers, policemen, and doctors. B. Have your students turn to St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us (page 158 in the students' activity book) and pray together the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. You may wish to play a sung version of the prayer, which you can find at SophiaOnline.org/StMichaeltheArchangel. C. Finally, have your students color in the St. Michael shield and attach it to their prayer boards. © SOPHIA INSTITUTE PRESS St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us St. Michael the Archangel protects us against danger and the Devil. He is our defense and our shield and the Church has given us a special prayer so that we can ask him for help.

  • Fifty Four Day Novena
    FIFTY FOUR DAY NOVENA Origin In an apparition of Our Lady of Pompeii, which occurred in 1884 at Naples, in the house of Commander Agrelli, the heavenly Mother deigned to make known the manner in which she desires to be invoked. For thirteen months Fortuna Agrelli, the daughter of the Commander, had endured dreadful sufferings and torturous cramps. The most celebrated physicians had given up. On February 16, 1884, the afflicted girl and her relatives commenced a novena of Rosaries. The Queen of the Holy Rosary favoured her with an apparition on March 3rd. Mary, sitting upon a high throne, surrounded by luminous figures, held the divine Child on her lap, and in her hand a Rosary. The Virgin Mother and the Holy Infant were clad in gold embroidered garments. They were accompanied by Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena. The throne was profusely decorated with flowers; the beauty of Our Lady was marvellous. Mary looked upon the sufferer with maternal tenderness and the patient saluted her with the words: “Queen of the Holy Rosary, be gracious to me; restore me to health! I have already prayed to thee in a novena O Mary, but have not yet experienced thy aid. I am so anxious to be cured!” “Child”, responded the Blessed Virgin, “thou hast invoked me by various titles and hast always obtained favours from me. Now, since thou hast called me by that title so pleasing to me, ‘Queen of the Holy Rosary’, I can no longer refuse the favour thou dost petition; for this name is most precious and dear to me.

  • 3 Sunday of Ordinary Time January 24-25. 2015 Fr. Michael Renninger “Oh Jonah He Lived in a Whale. Oh Jonah He Lived in a Whal
    3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time January 24-25. 2015 Fr. Michael Renninger “Oh Jonah he lived in a whale. Oh Jonah he lived in a whale. He made his home in that fish’s abdomen. O Jonah he lived in a whale.” That song is from George Gershwin’s great opera, Porgy and Bess. Sadly, when most Christians hear the name “Jonah,” the only thing they know is what Gershwin wrote in his song. They know that Jonah got swallowed by a big fish. When it comes to the prophet Jonah, that’s about all we know. Fortunately, we get to hear a bit more about Jonah in today’s first reading. And, what we learn about Jonah may surprise us. In the Book of the Prophet Jonah, Jonah was called by God to preach a message of repentance. God called Jonah, and said to him, “Go to the great city of Nineveh, and tell them to repent. If you do, I will forgive their sins.” Nineveh was an enormously large city. And it was an enormously sinful city (I think it was in Nineveh that they first learned how to deflate footballs!). It was a city of excessive sin. Perhaps Nineveh was like Las Vegas and New Orleans at Mardi Gras, all rolled into one. In other words -lots of sin! Oh, and there was one other problem. Nineveh was an enemy of Israel, and the people who lived in Nineveh were not part of the Chosen People. They were foreigners. And they were sinners. That is where Jonah’s problem begins.
