Sterling Heights, MI October 8, 2017 THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | November 5, 2017 Sterling Heights, MI Sterling Heights, MI October 8, 2017 THE FINAL JERRY-ATRICS 12 years, two weeks, and one day. That is the amount of time I have served at St. Jane Frances de Chantal parish. I began my assignment on October 22, 2005, and after the 11:30am Mass on Sunday, November 5, 2017, my term as pastor comes to a close. That is a total of 4,397 days. First and foremost, I want to express my appreciation for the kindness you have extended to me. I Fr. Jerry Slowinski Pastor have, these past few weeks, been reflecting fondly on the time we have shared together. The Ext. 101 people of St. Jane Frances de Chantal parish will always have a special place in my heart. Since I am only human, I realize I have made my share of mistakes along the way. I apologize to anyone who I have hurt, and pray that you could find it in your heart to forgive me if you feel you have been wronged. Over the course of the 628 weeks and one day I have served as pastor of this faith community, I’ve baptized hundreds of children, witnessed the wedding vows of approximately 250 couples, performed too many funerals, heard a staggering number of confessions, visited hospitals and shut-ins, anointed an inestimable number of people, and celebrated more Masses than I could ever venture to postulate. Together, over the course of that time, we have realized a few dreams, lived through a few trials, and have persevered in faith. While I am leaving, there is One who remains constant: Jesus Christ. Jesus has been here from the beginning and will be with you always. St. Jane Frances de Chantal parish always has been and always will be Christ’s church. God is the One who deserves and should get all the glory for all that is good which has resulted over the time I have served here as your pastor. God is the One who is forever faithful. It has been a privilege and an honor to minister to the people of God here at St. Jane’s in both times of tribulation and joy. I do feel compelled to convey the following and hope it is understood in the right way. When this weekend concludes, I will no longer be the pastor of this faith community. Fr. Tony Sulkowski has been assigned by Archbishop Vigneron to serve as the fourth pastor of St. Jane Frances de Chantal. It is my hope that no one would ask me to (Continued on page 3) IN LOVING MEMORY Eternal rest grant unto them, oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.

JANE FRANCES de CHANTAL PAGE 3 STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN (Continued from page 1) return to be the celebrant for a family wedding, funeral, baptism, etc. I will have to say no to any such requests. I don’t believe it is right to return to a former assignment unless there is some extremely compelling reason to do so. I am aware of priests who regularly return to parishes where they have served. Such a practice only undermines the work of the new priest who is beginning an assignment. Additionally, I am looking at a steep learning curve in serving as the only priest in a parish that is twice Fr. Jerry Slowinski Pastor the number of registered families as St. Jane Frances de Chantal. It is just not humanly possible to honor Ext. 101 such requests to return where I have previously served. I am so grateful to members of the parish staff, both those I have worked with in the past and those who I presently serve with, for all they have done. They have made me look far better than I ever could. I’d like to close this final edition of Jerry-atrics by offering you the following blessing: May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths, and things which only have superficial meaning so you may seek truth boldly. May God bless you with a holy anger at injustice and oppression of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or loss of all they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.

  • St. Irenaeus Parish, Park Forest, Illinois August 9, 2020 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
    St. Irenaeus Parish, Park Forest, Illinois August 9, 2020 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Renew My Church: Our Own Discipleship We have a mission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations… Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you and know that I am with you always, until the end of the world” (Mt 28:19-20). This is the Great Commission that Christ gave His apostles. And He gives us this mission today as something to accomplish together. An important element to achieving our mission is understanding what we’re facing today. In an earlier article, I noted some of the reasons why renewal is needed, not the least of which is a steady decline in faith practices that stretches back decades. There are many issues that people cite as a catalyst for leaving the Church or lapsing in their faith. The pain and suffering of the abuse crisis and failure in leadership amongst some has been reason enough for some to walk away or refrain from (re)entering. There are also the age-old allurements and noon-day devils that cause people to drift away from the faith of their youth. And there are also issues and challenges of a personal nature that only God can see within people’s hearts. But there are also people that leave the Church not because they reject her teachings or doctrines or even because of the scandals – they leave because they want more than what they’re experiencing. In some way, they doubt that Jesus is present within their own parish.

  • Founder, Order of Preachers (Dominicans)
    “What page, what passage of the inspired books of the Old and New Testaments is not the truest of guides for human life?” ~Saint Benedict, from the Rule of Saint Benedict (73:3) "A person who governs his passions is the master of the world. We must either rule them, or be ruled by them. It is better to be the hammer than the anvil. " --Saint Dominic Monday, August 8 ~ Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Saint Dominic, Priest; Founder, Order of Preachers (Dominicans) Holy Gospel: Matthew 17:22-27 As Jesus and his disciples were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were overwhelmed with grief. When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Does not your teacher pay the temple tax?” “Yes,” he said. When he came into the house, before he had time to speak, Jesus asked him, “What is your opinion, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?” When he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the subjects are exempt. But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you.” Meditation: On three different occasions the Gospels record that Jesus’ prediction that he would endure great suffering through betrayal, rejection, and the punishment of a cruel death.
