MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

Dear Parishioners and Extended Family Members,

Praised be Jesus Christ!

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to implement the Mass Schedule the Collaborative Pastoral Council approved by vote. It is published here in the bulletin. Please keep in mind that it is made possible by the help we receive from Father Rivard and our two visiting priests, Fathers Peter Gojuk and John Geaney. Should that situation change, it is reasonable to expect that it will impact the Mass schedule. Father Gregory and I speak for the entire collaborative when we say how blessed and fortunate we are to have such fine priests assisting us!

Saint Gregory the Great’s feast day will be this Friday. He was born around 540 in Rome, the son of Gordianus, a Roman regionarius, and Saint Silvia of Rome, nephew of Saint Emiliana and Saint Tarsilla, greatgrandson of Pope Saint Felix III. Educated by the finest teachers in Rome, he served as prefect of Rome for a year, then he sold his possessions, turned his home into a Benedictine monastery, and used his money to build six monasteries in Sicily and one in Rome. Upon seeing English children being sold in the Roman Forum, he became a missionary to England.

He was elected 64th Pope by unanimous acclamation on 3 September 590, the first monk to be chosen. He sent Saint Augustine [of Canterbury] and a company of monks to evangelize England, as well as other missionaries to France, Spain, and Africa. He collected melodies and plainchant so associated with him that they are now known as Gregorian Chants. One of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church, he wrote seminal works on the Mass and Divine Office, several of them dictated to his secretary, Saint Peter the Deacon.

Here are some quotes of his:

The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist.

If the work of God could be comprehended by reason, it would no longer be wonderful, and faith would have no merit if reason provided proof.

You don't climb a mountain in leaps and bounds, but by taking it slowly.

Act in such a way that your humility may not be weakness, nor your authority be severity. Justice must be accompanied by humility, that humility may render justice lovable.

The universe is not rich enough to buy the vote of an honest man.

You cannot acquire the gift of peace if, by your anger, you destroy the peace of the Lord.

St. Gregory the Great, pray for us!

Gratefully yours in Christ,
Fr. Steve

August, a month of Thanksgiving & Gratitude
Our Collaborative has designated the month of August as a Month of Thanksgiving, a time to recall what we are grateful for during the COVID Era. While this notion may seem strange, to say the least, if we take the time to review our lives during COVID, there are aspects of this time we are able to give thanks for. You are invited to submit what you are grateful for by writing it on a fish, which you will be able to find at the
entrance to each church. After you have written it down, please place your fish in the basket at the same
location so that it may be added to the “River of Gratitude,” which will be by the altar in each church.
