What a powerful ceremony that must’ve been last Sunday! Remember, the winner of the car 60,000 were gathered at the Vatican to witness this historic could take the $40,000 Cash option ceremony, while thousands gathered in Gerardo Barrios instead! There’s only a few more days to go to sell or buy Square in San Salvador to watch it live on big screens. In as many tickets as you can! I still feel like I arrived as his homily during the Mass, Pope Francis said, “Jesus is Pastor of St. Jude’s only a few weeks ago. But, then I radical. He gives all and he asks all: he gives a love that is shake my head, and realize that this is the 7th Serafini’s total and asks for an undivided heart.” Spaghetti Dinner! We can always use more volunteers for I am not sure if anyone remembered, but this past next weekend, so just get ahold of Jen Hudson, our Parish Tuesday was the 40th anniversary of the election of Pope Administrative Assistant, and she will take it from there! John Paul II as the Vicar of Christ! 1978 was the “Year of Jen, Matt Costa, Sue & Steve Drabant and their team have the Three Popes”. Saint Pope Paul VI died on August 6th, been working hard getting all the preparations ready. There which brought forth the 33-day episcopacy of Pope John are lots of people helping! Patty Shaughnessy and her un- Paul I. I remember him very clearly, for Albino Luciani was cle, Dominic Carmosino, are getting ready to get their group introduced to the world as a very pious & holy man, with to start rolling meatballs from scratch! It is really hard to find such a peaceful face. He was known to ride his bicycle better meatballs than these! If these past 7 years have told quite a bit as the Cardinal Archbishop of Venice. He was us anything, we are preparing for about 1200 people to the first Pope born in the 20th Century, and was also the first come through our doors. And, don’t forget, that there will be Pope to take a double name, “Pope John Paul” … which take-outs available, too! There is still time to donate a was to give honor to the two previous Popes whom he theme basket to be raffled off, as well. There’s still lots to deeply loved: Saint Pope John XXIII and now-Saint Paul VI. do, but everyone is looking forward to a great But, he also had one of the shortest papacies in history, weekend! Keep selling those tickets!! lasting only 33-days. I will never forget coming to breakfast I feel terrible that I completely forgot about the joy of that morning, and my mother telling my brothers and I that last Sunday: Pope Francis canonized 7 new saints, the Pope died. And, nonchalantly, we told her, “We know … including Saint Pope Paul VI and Saint Oscar Romero! a month ago.” And, she told us, “Not him! The new one!” What an astounding day for Church! (And, I didn’t But, the shock continued a few weeks later when the bells of remember it until Monday!!) Saint Pope Paul VI (Giovanni St. Peter’s Basilica rang out again, and we learned that the Battista Montini … 1897-1978) has been a powerful new Pope was only 58 years old, and was from Poland!! I influence on our modern Church, seeing through the was in junior-year history class at Prep with the late Sister completion of the Second Vatican Council, ushering in so Loretta McHale, who started screaming as then-Assistant much of the Church’s tradition and teachings into the Headmaster Fr. Bill Biebel proclaimed it in Latin over the modern times. Saint Oscar Romero (1917-1980), the P.A. system! (Sr. Loretta, obviously, was the only one in the murdered Archbishop of San Salvador who spoke up for the room who could speak fluent Latin!) I will never forget one poor and the oppressed, was canonized as a “martyr”. He of Pope John Paul II’s first visits was to an American Youth had been gunned down by a death squad at the altar, while Rally in Madison Square Gardens during the spring of 1979. presiding at Mass in 1980. Pope Francis also canonized He took New York by storm! A delegation of students Francesco Spinelli (1853-1913), a diocesan priest, founder presented him a pair of sneakers, some American rock of the Institute of the Sisters Adorers of the Blessed music, and a tee-shirt, I believe … symbols of youth culture Sacrament; Vincenzo Romano (1751-1831) a diocesan for that time. I was always so amazed at how energized priest; Maria Katharina Kasper (1820-1898), a virgin & Saint Pope John Paul II got whenever he attended a youth founder of the Institute of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus rally. I got to see it and experience it myself in Denver in Christ; Nazaria Ignazia of Saint Teresa of Jesus 1993. Looking back on my last 30 years as a priest, that (1889-1943), a virgin & founder of the Congregation of World Youth Day was among the most powerful experiences the Misioneras Cruzadas de la Iglesia; and, Nunzio I have ever had. We all have so much to learn from and Sulprizio (1817-1836), a layperson. I understand that, during about our new saints.
