From Fr. E.J. -
Annual Mission Appeal/Collection Today. This weekend, St. Francis Seraph and St. Clement both welcome a missionary as part of the annual Archdiocesan Missionary Cooperation Plan. This is an effective way our Family of Parishes can participate in Beacon of Light’s primary purpose: missionary evangelizaton.
Father Simine G. Fernandez, O.SS.T. is currently Associate Pastor at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Henderson, Nevada. He will ask for prayers and financial assistance so his Order can expand its ministry of Catholic education in Kamrup (Assam) India. Most of the Christians there belong to tribal communities and are persecuted for their faith. Because of extreme poverty, children don’t have access to a proper education. The Trinitarians hope to expand their newly opened DeMatha English Medium School. Expanding would mean additional grade levels, dormitories, housing for the religious, a playground and an auditorium. Your generosity will help them live their school’s motto, “Educate to liberate.” Please consider supporting their work in India as the Trinitarians spread God’s mercy in this remote area. Checks and donations can be made out to St. Clement Parish and be placed in the second collection basket, the collection boxes on the tables at the church doors or sent to the parish office. Thanks so much for your goodness.
Follow-Up to St. Clement/St. Francis Seraph Family of Parishes Meeting:
Our Family of Parishes Pathway Team (Steering Committee) met this month to review the April 29 joint meeting of 160+ parishioners. A thorough but readable report for parishioners will be finished soon. I just want to offer a little feedback now.
The group discussions of 20 tables (eight people each) produced about 80 pages of notes. Both the substance and tone of discussions were positive. One hope expressed often was that the Parish Family would continue its Franciscan identity. Communication and transparency were felt to be critical: maybe through some sort of blend of websites, calendars, and bulletins. Other hopes were for more joint gatherings or fundraisers. A common prayer might be prayed at both parishes or at home. Concerns included possible loss of the culture of each parish, too few priests, loss of the Franciscans, and fears about folks leaving the church altogether; concern about remembering those who are homeless, and not leaving the Hispanic people behind in this process.
May the Holy Spirit continue to work in all of us as we together discern our future.
May the Lord bless us all! Fr. EJ
