The good, the bad, and the treasure Jesus takes the ordinary for his story asking what you would really want never to lose/ asking what your treasure is. Is it money, reputation, locality? I gave up a better but had time for the family and for love’; words of a young father. We know that parents give up a lot for their children; as do grandparents/ godparents and others. As people we look for what’s most important in life: the love of God; deep and enduring friendships/ success after hard work in school/ commitment to the poor – what cannot be lost and what is worth sacrificing other good things for. Life is a mixture of the good and the bad. There is an old Dublin saying: ‘There’s good in the worst of us and bad in the best of us’. We work for God with the strengths and weaknesses of all we work with. God sows the seed of the in good and bad soil; it bears fruit in its own way wherever it is sown. The treasure is in our people. So much hidden generosity comes out at bad times – floods, power cuts, illness and death. We need always to find the hidden treasures in our own people and even in our history. The kingdom of God is close, near and is within us. Think of what you really value in life. Take time. Give thanks to God for what brings deep joy in life.Thy Kingdom Come, Lord Jesus. (Fr Donal Neary, S.J, Gospel Reflections) This week let us think about the people who gave up many things in their life to make our life better. It can be your husband or wife, parents or children, grandparents or godparents. It can be your siblings, friends or neighbors. It can be a priest, a deacon, a co-worker. It can be any one that we meet every day in our life. Let us thank God for giving that person into our lives. And let us pray for the grace to make the lives of others better by giving up something in our own lives. May God continue to bless our parish family and keep us all in His loving care. With love and prayers, Fr. Abraham, MCBS

We pray for all those who are sick, injured or in nursing homes, and those who are being cared for by their loved ones at home or those who receive ongoing treatment for terminal and life-threatening diseases. May God bring them healing and sustain them in hope. Let us pray for… Sally Clements - Jackie Jozwiac - Ken Nimmer. If you would like to add someone to the prayer list please call the Parish office at 906-863-5239.

Thank You To the attention of those who TAKING HOLY COMMUNION TO THOSE UNABLE TO ATTEND MASS. Thank you so much for participating in this beautiful ministry. We want to introduce to you the policy of the diocese to help you with doing this ministry in a more efficient way. If you have any questions, please contact Fr. Abraham. 1. Introduction: The ordinary way to receive Holy Communion is during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This may not be possible for the faithful who are homebound, in a nursing home, gravely ill, or in prison. To ensure that all those who wish to receive the Holy Eucharist have an opportunity to do so, parishes should have properly appointed Extraordinary Ministers to assist the priests and deacons in this very important ministry. The Holy Eucharist that is to be distributed should be placed in a pyx and handled with the greatest care and reverence. The reverent handling of pyx includes it being carried in a pouch hanging around one’s neck, not in a pocket or storage space in your vehicle where it can be easily forgotten. Additionally, the Extraordinary Minister should go directly from Mass to the place of distribution so as not to be distracted and significantly delay the reception of the Blessed Sacrament.] 2. Primary situations covered under this policy: A. A member of the lay-faithful comes forward, regularly or occasionally, in the communion procession with a pyx to receive one host for the distribution of Holy Communion to a family member or individual unable to attend Mass because they are homebound, in a nursing home, or gravely ill. B. A member of the lay-faithful regularly receives several hosts for the distribution of Holy Communion to a small group within an institution not able to attend Mass such as a nursing home, prison or hospital. C. A member of the lay faithful gets the consecrated hosts they need directly from the tabernacle and places them in a pyx. 3. Requirements A. The lay faithful who is bringing communion in any of the above situations, must be a trained and approved Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. (–Requirements for Lay Liturgical Ministers #3 says as follows: Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion – Must be a Baptized and Confirmed Catholic at least 18 years of age. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are to receive a commission from the for a period of five years. The pastor / pastoral coordinator is to make this request in writing to the Bishop. After that time, it must be renewed by an additional written request from the pastor. This ministry is suppletory and is exercised only when the ordinary ministers (ordained) are absent or insufficient. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may also bring communion to the sick. No one may bring Holy Communion to the sick without being a trained Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. They should be trained in the correct method of transporting a pyx. B. For the distribution of Holy Communion, the Rite that is used can be found in Pastoral Care of the Sick, Catholic Book Publishing, 1983, Chapter 3, Communion of the Sick, Communion in Ordinary Circumstances. C. If the above situation 2. B applies, the minister distributing Holy Communion must have permission in advance of the pastor of the church in which they are receiving the consecrated hosts. D. After the distribution of Holy Communion, if necessary, the pyx may be purified by the minister of Holy Communion even if they are an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion. (Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass. #55)
