This weekend we’re hosting our Annual Parish Auction. This event is not only the biggest single fundraiser for the year, but it’s also a terrific time. Always held the weekend closest to , we encourage people to come in costume and each year there’s a different theme. This year the theme is superheroes, and as you know, Father George and I have been voted upon to wind up in some very specific costumes. You just might be surprised who shows up.

This theme of superheroes is especially appropriate for the time of year as we’re about to enter into one of the most important—and one of my favorite—periods of the Year: . You’ve probably never seen that word before; try this: All Hallows Tide. Closer? Think tide like or (just meaning time), and All Hallows is “All Holy” as in “All the Holy Ones”—meaning, the . And the saints are, of course, the superhe- roes of the faith.

Some of the saints seem to have superpowers: Padre Pio could read souls (like Dr. Strange); some had super- strength (St. Boniface or St. Moses the Black); and some could even fly like Superman (read up on St. Joseph of Cu- pertino). Of course, in the Church we don’t refer to these so much as powers or abilities, but as gifts or charisms— grace building on our natural dispositions and abilities to help us build up the body of Christ.

But most heroes, both in the comic books and in real life don’t have any exceptional abilities, they just have exceptional hearts and souls, which enable extraordinary lives. Last week I was privileged to celebrate at the home of two of our parish’s superheroes: Joe and Joanne Palmer celebrated their 70th

Wedding Anniversary. We had a wonderful time together, and they even gave me wisdom to pass along to the couple I was scheduled to marry the next day.

What struck me most of their humility and their fidelity—both to God and to each other. “Most people think they’re the star or the center of their own story,” Joanne said. “It’s when you realize you’re not that you can really start living.” Joe said something similar and then added, “But remember, Father, it’s always quality over quantity.” He would know; he’s had both. Let’s pray that we can too. You can give beyond your life through a bequest to Church/School in your will.

Can I do this? What can I bring to and take from this experience? As the next pilgrimage to Tanzania draws near, those of you pondering this journey may be asking yourself these questions among many others. The Christ the King Tanzania Committee has announced that the next trip to our sister parish will be January 20-31, 2020. Participants will visit several of the outstations in our sister parish and interact with children at several schools. You will join with our African brothers and sisters in their joyful celebration of the Mass several times and meet with many local priests and women religious who dedicate their lives serving the economically poor, but spiritually rich families in the Diocese of Moshi. You will see several of the purification systems that are providing clean and safe water at schools throughout the Diocese. During your travels, you will see evidence of generous contributions from CTK parish families and CTK School students. There will be abundant time to see the beauty of the Land of Kilimanjaro, experience the culture of the people and learn about their daily life. There also will be an opportunity to participate in a photo safari if desired. Many have said one of the great joys is packing their suitcases with clothing, educational materials, sports items, and religious articles that are donated to the people. For those wondering if this journey is in your future, we encourage you to talk to past participants and specifically Tanzania committee member Earl Harper as soon as possible. Earl can be reached at (515)276-2687 and [email protected] Please be open to God’s call to join the next pilgrimage and pray to the Holy Spirit as you discern your decision. *****************************************
