Dear Friend, In 1997 I was named the Director of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. One of the first persons I met when I arrived was Fr. Clarence Zachman, O.M.I. Father Clarence was 77 years old at the time, and I couldn’t keep up with him. He would spend the morning helping visitors at the Shrine Hotel plan their day. Then he would spend hours giving tours to visiting groups, always with a smile on his face and without notes. And in the evening, when most of us had gone home, he would often be visiting with individual pilgrims who simply needed a friend to talk with. I remember telling a co-worker that Fr. Clarence was going to live to be 100. Well, 23 years later Fr. Clarence did indeed turn 100, and there is still no slowing him down. Most of Fr. Clarence’s ministry today is at the Esquiline retirement community located at the Shrine, where it’s pretty clear he is one of the most popular persons there. Everybody from the residents to the staff to OBLATE WORLD his brother Oblates love Fr. Clarence. Copyright ©2021 Just a few days after I arrived at the Shrine, Fr. Clarence came over and Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate 391 Michigan Avenue NE gave me his business card. I didn’t need it, but he wanted me to have the Washington, DC 20017-1516 card because of the message he had printed on it — God loves you and so do I. omiusa.org Designed and printed in the U.S.A. Over the past year, I have thought about Fr. Clarence’s message often. Through a pandemic, racial tension and political turmoil, I was reassured by remembering those simple words — God loves you and so do I. As we hopefully begin to return to life as normal, I pray that you will always know that God, Fr. Clarence and I love you, and that we thank you for the generosity you have shown to the Missionary Oblates. In Jesus Christ and Mary Immaculate, Fr. Louis Studer, O.M.I.

    7601 VINE • LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 68505 ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when He said this, He breathed on them and said to them: “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven…” (John 20:21—23) THE SPIRIT AND THE CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS The Meaning of Pentecost…(from Catechism of the Catholic Church) 731 On the day of Pentecost when the seven weeks of Easter had come to an end, Christ's Passover is fulfilled in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, manifested, given, and communicated as a divine person: of his fullness, Christ, the Lord, pours out the Spirit in abundance.[Cf. Acts 2:3336][2623,767,1302] 732 On that day, the Holy Trinity is fully revealed. Since that day, the Kingdom announced by Christ has been open to those who believe in him: in the humility of the flesh and in faith, they already share in the communion of the Holy Trinity. By his coming, which never ceases, the Holy Spirit causes the world to enter into the "last days," the time of the Church, the Kingdom already inherited though not yet consummated. [244,672] We have seen the true Light, we have received the heavenly Spirit, we have found the true faith: we adore the indivisible Trinity, who has saved us.[Byzantine liturgy, Pentecost Ves- pers, Troparion, repeated after communion] 696FireNOne of the Symbols of the Holy Spirit: While water signifies birth and the fruitfulness of life given in the Holy Spirit, fire symbolizes the transforming energy of the Holy Spirit's actions.

  • St. Eugene De Mazenod Had a “Zeal for the Kingdom of God” That Was Infectious
    Saint Eugene De Mazenod Feast Day: May 21st Born Charles Joseph Eugene de Mazenod on August 1, 1782 into a wealthy family in the south of France, his life was quickly transformed by the French Revolution. At the age of 8, he fled France with his family to Italy as political refugees. Following an eleven-year exile, Mazenod returned to France when he was 20 years old; it was a whole new world. Distressed by the state of the Church in France, Mazenod felt called to the priesthood; he was ordained December 21, 1811 in Amiens, a city in northern France. Eventually, he returned to his hometown, Aix-end-Provence. He focused his ministry on the less fortunate – such as prisoners, youth, servants, workers, and country villagers. His preaching in the local language, rather than French, led to some local opposition by other members of the church. He engaged in an “intense community life of prayer, study and fellowship” along with a group of other “equally zealous priests,” according to the Vatican. These men, once called the Missionaries of Provence, became known as the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in 1826 with Pope Leo XII’s approval. When he founded the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the congregation primarily served the “spiritually needy” on the French countryside but eventually expanded their ministry to Switzerland, England and Ireland, at first, and then to Canada, USA and parts of Africa. This missionary order spread throughout the world – living out their motto, “He has sent me to evangelize the poor,” by establishing a deep spiritual foundation, close community life and a visible, unfettered love for the less fortunate.

All members of God’s Holy Church are called to active participation in the Mass. Please consider participating in one of the following ministries that are integral to our worship. ALTAR SERVER: This ministry is open to all parishioners 4th grade and older. Servers assist the presiding priest in the processional, setting and clearing the altar and holding the Roman Missal for prayers. You will receive training for this ministry and will serve with an experienced server initially. EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS: Eucharistic ministers are parishioners who have been confirmed and have been commissioned to distribute Holy Communion at Mass. Eucharistic Ministers are required to attend a training session before being scheduled. LECTORS: Newman Center parishioners who are high school age or older and have been confirmed may serve as Lectors. These men and women proclaim the Word of God at Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Lectors are required to attend a training session before being scheduled. LITURGY COORDINATORS: Liturgy Coordinators ensure that everything necessary for Mass is set up and in place before Mass begins. Coordinators recruit additional ministers as needed for Mass and assist where needed during Mass. Coordinators are also responsible for making sure that items are properly cleaned and stored after Mass. You will receive training for this ministry and will shadow an experienced coordinator before you do this on your own.
