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.

(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.

May God bless you with enough audacity to believe that you can really make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.

And may God, the Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, the Word made Flesh, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you this day and forever more. Amen.
