Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church February 7, 2021 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church A Parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence OUR LADY OF GRACE CATHOLIC CHURCH 15 George Waterman Road Johnston, Rhode Island 02919 Telephone: (401) 231-2220 Facsimile (401) 231-3905 OURLADYOFGRACERI.ORG REV. PETER J. GOWER, PASTOR “View from the Pew” by George W. Reilly Football – Super Bowl -- Religion Sports, or more specifically football, is generally on everyone’s mind this weekend with the arrival of Super Bowl LV (55) on Sunday, February 7. Have you ever wondered if any of those fine, physical male specimens at the top of their form are Catholics? I thought I would highlight some of the best examples of Catholic football athletes that achieved Super Bowl status, but due to space restraints, I can only give you five of my top picks. Perhaps you have seen these players in Super Bowl action, but now you know that we share something special with them – our faith. It does affect their choices in life and how they conduct themselves, so read on. Bob Griese - Quarterback Bob Griese led the Miami Dolphins to nine winning seasons in the 1970s and was the field general for the celebrated 1972 Dolphin team that went 17-0 and played in three consecutive Super Bowl games. In Su- per Bowl VI, the Dolphins lost to Roger Staubach’s Cowboys, 24-3. The next year, Miami’s perfect season, Griese was eight for 11 with one touchdown as the Dolphins prevailed over the Washington Redskins, 14-7. The following January, Griese completed six of his seven passes in a 24-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Miami’s head coach of that era, Don Shula, a devout Catholic himself, called Griese “the most unselfish player I have ever been around.” Bob finished his 11-year pro career in 2008 playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Having lost his first wife to cancer in 1988, Griese has raised funds for Judi’s House, an outreach for grieving children founded by his son. Reportedly both Bob and his son Brian are strong Catholics with devotion to praying the rosary. Ed McCaffrey - McCaffrey played professional football for 13 years and was three-for-three in his Super Bowls. In Su- per Bowl XXIX, he caught only a single pass for five yards in the 49ers victory over the San Diego Chargers, 49-26. He was a major factor, however, in the Denver Broncos’ back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 1998 and 1999. In 1998, he was Denver’s leading receiver with 45 yards on two catches, including a 36-yard gainer, as the Broncos topped the Green Bay Packers 31-24. A year later, he caught five passes for 72 yards as Denver triumphed over the Atlanta Falcons 34-19. Ed and his wife, Lisa, have been active in Catholic Charities in the Denver archdiocese. Citing the couple’s charitable work, strong faith, and dedication to family life, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver presented the McCaffreys with the J. Francis Cardinal Stafford Award for Justice and Charity saying, “They give a marvelous witness to families.” Ed also is involved now with the McCaffrey Family Foundation, which assists children with special educational and medical needs in Colorado. Mark Bavaro - A University of Notre Dame graduate, Bavaro was a tight end who could catch a pass as well as throw a block. In his six NFL seasons with the New York Giants, he set many team records and won two Super Bowl rings. The first was in the 1987 Super Bowl against Denver and four years later defeating the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV, 20- 19. Bavaro is known for his Catholic faith. During and after his NFL career, Bavaro has been highly active as a member of Life Athletes, a pro-life, pro-abstinence group. Among the pictures on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s NFL preview issue for the 1987 season was a photo of Bavaro doing his trademark touchdown celebration -- genuflecting in the end zone and making the sign of the cross. Brett Favre - After a spectacular comeback year that saw the Green Bay Packers turn their poor 2006 season into a divi- sion-winning 13-3 record in 2007, Brett Favre seemed poised to lead his team to another Super Bowl appearance. A loss to the New York Giants, the eventual NFC champion, ended that dream season. The durable quarterback led the Pack- ers to a Super Bowl victory in 1997 as they defeated the New England Patriots 35-21. Oh yeah, I remember that one! The Favres were members of St. Agnes Parish in Green Bay during football season and St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Hattiesburg, Miss., during the off-season. Brett established the Brett Favre Fourward Foundation in 1996 and has do- nated more than $2 million to charities for disadvantaged and underprivileged children in his home state of Mississippi as well as to those in his adopted state of Wisconsin. Roger Staubach - Roger Staubach took over as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys in 1971 and ran off 10 consecutive victories including a 24-3 rout of the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI. He stayed with the Cowboys through the 1979 season and was a six-time Pro Bowl selection. During those years, he would lead Dallas to three more Super Bowl ap- pearances, winning in 1978 over the Denver Broncos, 27-10, in Super Bowl XII, but losing twice to the Pittsburgh Steel- ers in Super Bowl XI (21-17) and Super Bowl XIII (35-31). Staubach’s Catholic faith was evident in one of the best highlight reel plays in NFL history. In a 1975 playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings, he threw a 50-yard bomb to receiver Drew Pearson in the final seconds to win the game, 17-14. Interviewed after the game, Staubach shared that he had said a Hail Mary just before he threw the ball. From that point onward, any long desperation pass in an attempt to score in a game’s final seconds would commonly be re- ferred to as a “Hail Mary pass.” Just like Doug Flutey. Religion does matter, doesn’t it! Stay warm and healthy and enjoy Sunday’s game.

    / The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Chelsea Police Thesis Advisor Mr. Neil Behrman Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2016 Expected Date of Graduation May 2016 §pCoJI U ncler.9 rod /he. 51;;:, J_:D ;l.o/80J · Z'7 The Golden Anniversary ofthe Super Bowl: A Legacy 50 Years in the Making ~0/G , PG.5 Abstract Originally known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, the Super Bowl has grown to become one of the largest sports spectacles in the United States. Cities across the cotintry compete for the right to host this prestigious event. The reputation of such an occasion has caused an increase in demand and price for tickets, making attendance nearly impossible for the average fan. As a result, the National Football League has implemented free events for local residents and out-of-town visitors. This, along with broadcasting the game, creates an inclusive environment for all fans, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of professional sports. This paper explores the growth of the Super Bowl from a novelty game to one of the country' s most popular professional sporting events. Acknowledgements First, and foremost, I would like to thank my parents for their unending support. Thank you for allowing me to try new things and learn from my mistakes. Most importantly, thank you for believing that I have the ability to achieve anything I desire. Second, I would like to thank my brother for being an incredible role model.

  • GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22Nd NFL Season (12Th with Broncos)
    GARY KUBIAK HEAD COACH – 22nd NFL Season (12th with Broncos) Gary Kubiak, a 23-year coaching veteran and three-time Super Bowl champion, enters his third decade with the Denver Broncos after being named the 15th head coach in club history on Jan. 19, 2015. A backup quarterback for nine seasons (1983-91) with the Broncos and an offensive coordinator for 11 years (1995- 2005) with the club, Kubiak returns to Denver after spending eight years (2006-13) as head coach of the Houston Texans and one season (2014) as offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens. During 21 seasons working in the NFL, Kubiak has coached 30 players to a total of 57 Pro Bowl selections. He has appeared in eight conference championship games and six Super Bowls as a player or coach and was part of three World Championship staffs (S.F., 1994; Den., 1997-98) as a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator. In his most recent position as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator in 2014, he oversaw one of the NFL’s most improved and explosive units to help the Ravens advance to the AFC Divisional Playoffs. His offense posted the third-largest overall improvement (+57.5 ypg) in the NFL from the previous season and posted nearly 50 percent more big plays (74 plays of 20+yards) from the year before he arrived. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco recorded career highs in passing yards (3,986) and touchdown passes (27) under Kubiak’s guidance while running back Justin Forsett ranked fifth in the league in rushing (1,266 yds.) to earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.

  • Zauner Finds Niche As Special Teams Coach
    Zauner Finds Niche As Special Teams Coach Article from: Take 5 Article date: January 17, 2008 Article by: Take 5 Rarely does a kicker get mentioned by football analysts in pre-game shows. Their job is a lonely one. But for Fountain Hills resident Gary Zauner, he’s in good company. The kickers he’s become acquainted with have achieved much success between the uprights. For this kicking and special teams coach, he’s built a reputation on helping kickers achieve elite status. Names like Gary Anderson, Eddie Murray, Nick Lowery and Jeff Jaeger. When Anderson finished the first perfect season by an NFL kicker in 1998 it was under Zauner’s tutelage. Since then Anderson has offered this testimonial of the coach’s technique on Zauner’s website: “Gary is easily the most knowledgeable kicking coach in the country. His approach of blending all the technical aspects of kicking with a practical common sense approach is one of Gary’s finest qualities. He can improve any kicker in a very short period of time and put you on a precise road to success. He is simply the very best!” But had it not been for Zauner’s persistence, the NFL might not have seen his coaching prowess. First Down Zauner says he had a passion for kicking and punting at an early age. In Wisconsin he won the local and regional punt, pass and kick competitions. From there he played in high school, excelling as quarterback, punter and kicker. As he became profi cient at kicking, several colleges took an interest.
