Fr. Mark’s Remarks
Do You Know Someone Interested
In Becoming Catholic?
Congratulations and blessings to our
MSU graduates who will be receiving
their undergraduate and graduate
degrees next weekend! Be assured of
our prayers for you as move on to new
adventures in new places. We are
grateful for your presence here with us in the East
Lansing Catholic community. We hope that we helped
you to grow in faith as you grew in knowledge.
Everyone is invited to the Graduation Mass this
Friday at 10:00am at St. John Church & Student Center.
Faculty and graduates are asked to wear their academic
attire. There will be no 12:15pm Mass on Friday.
If you know someone who may be
interested in learning more about the
Catholic Church, please pass this information on to
them. Your invitation can make the difference!
A new group of inquirers will begin meeting Tuesday,
May 12, 7:00 - 8:30pm and Sunday, May 17, 2:00
- 3:30pm, both at St. John Church and Student
Center, downstairs in Room 25B. Individuals choose
the time which best suits their schedule. The sessions
will consider topics such as "Is there a God?", "How
can I have a relationship with God?", "How do
Catholics use the bible?", "Why is Mary so important
to Catholics?", "Who are the saints?", etc.
This coming week is exam week for MSU students, so
please keep them and the MSU faculty and staff in your
prayers. Here is a Prayer for Final Exams:
You are welcome to attend with a friend or to come
alone. Participants include undergraduate and
graduate students, year-round East Lansing and area
residents -- people of various ages. The sessions
stress answers to your questions, conversation, and
hospitality. If you or someone you know has been
thinking about learning more about the Catholic
Church, call Pete Ries at 517-351-5460, ext. 1328 or
e-mail [email protected].
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not flunk;
He keeps me from lying down when I should be studying.
He leads me inside St. John for a study break.
He restores my faith in study guides.
He leads me to better study habits for my grades sake.
Though I walk through the valley of borderline grades,
I will not have a nervous breakdown for God is with me.
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.
God gives me answers in moments of blankness;
God anoints my head with understanding.
My test paper runs over with questions I recognize.
Surely passing grades with flying colors shall follow me.
All the days of my examinations.
And I shall not have to dwell at MSU forever. Amen.
If you are already a Catholic, and would like to
share your faith by being a table discussion facilitator
or an RCIA sponsor for one of the candidates, give
Pete a call. With the growing number of people
beginning the RCIA process, additional help is needed
as the East Lansing Catholic Community continues to
reach out to the people in our area.
May is the month we honor Mary, the Blessed Mother of
Jesus. May Crowning will be held this Tuesday, May 5
at 10:00am at STA. This is a beautiful ceremony with
our STA school children and is open to everyone in the
parish. Please join us, it is a wonderful tradition. Mary’s
claim to fame is that she brought Jesus and the love of
Jesus into the world. By virtue of our baptism, so should
we. She is a model of faith!
Congratulations to the Capital Area United Way
Volunteer Nominees for 2015: Dcn. Dave Drayton,
Children's Home Spiritual Volunteer (member), Stefeni
Collar, Children's Home Book Club Volunteer, (member)
and Ronald George, Refugee Services Volunteer. These
parishioners exemplify the change that we would like to
see in the world through their service at St. Vincent
Catholic Charities. STVCC is very proud of them and
so is STA parish!
Have a blessed week!

Calling all Tired & Stressed Students!
St. John Student Center is open to you throughout
exam week as a quiet study space. We will offer food
and hospitality Monday through Wednesday:
Ite Missa Est
Happy Graduation Mug Sunday!!! What’s
that, you ask? It’s the Sunday before finals
week (so today) where St. John gifts the
graduating seniors with a Catholic Spartan/MSU Alumnus
mug. And I cannot tell you how excited I am that I can
finally receive my mug. Yes, that’s right, I am stoked to
get a coffee mug. You can judge me all you want.
Lunch from Noon-1:00pm
Dinner from 5:00pm-6:00pm
God bless your studies!
Fr. Mark's Late Knight Breakfast
10:00pm, Tuesday, May 5
The reason I am stoked is because to me that mug
represents my “spiritual diploma” for completing my
spiritual journey at St. John. Shortly after that, I will
receive my academic diploma and with that MSU and St.
John will have both officially sent me out to the next
stages of life to go share the fruits of what I have
experienced these past four years to the communities I
will go to next.
Join Fr. Mark and our parish Knights of
Columbus for a study break after the 9:15pm Mass.
Pancakes and sausage will be provided.
Congrats to our Catholic Spartan Graduates!
All students and parishioners are
welcome to join MSU grads and their
families at the Graduation Mass
on Friday, May 8 at 10:00am.
When thinking about that, I can’t help but see the
parallels between graduation and the dismissal of the
Mass. Contrary to popular belief, the end of the Mass is
not actually the end—it’s just the beginning because it’s
a commissioning. In the Latin roots of the dismissal, the
priest used to say “Ite Missa Est,” translating to “Go, you
are sent!”
Come and pray in thanksgiving for the gift of a Spartan
education, friendships, and years of intellectual and
spiritual growth during time spent at MSU.
Catholic Spartan Summer Spirituality
Staying around for the summer?
Home for the summer?
At the “end” of Mass, we as the Christian faithful are
being sent out to go bring God to the world; to take all
the grace we just received at Mass and to share that far
and wide. And how awesome is that?!? Graduates are
called to do the same—we are called to take all the
knowledge and experiences we gained these past 4+
years and to go share it with the communities we are
being sent to.
Email [email protected] to get connected with a
summer Bible Study or Faithsharing group!
Undergrads or grad students aged 18-28 welcome.
Opportunities for Catholics over age 28 are available
through Graduate Student & Young Professional Group and
Adult Faith Formation.
In reflecting on my experiences these past 4 years at
MSU, it’s amazing to see how different I am from the
freshman that came in. Like the Mass transforms us and
prepares us to be sent out to administer the Gospel to
the world, I feel like my time at MSU has transformed
me and prepared me to go conquer life’s next
challenges. And I could not be more grateful for that.
Congratulations to
our Students!!!
So thank you, St. John and MSU for all you have given
me—for all the growth that has happened, for all the
lessons learned and for the lasting communities that I
will forever be a part of. #CatholicSpartanforLife

time on Friday night here at the school. We want to
thank Bethe Day and Mary Chris Hotchkiss for
organizing this event, but also all the countless
volunteers who assisted behind the scenes. These

weather, St. Gerard will host the Mass.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will
show that you are indeed the disciple of Jesus as it

doubt, loneliness and dread.

so also he loves us.
Questions: What prevents me from listening to
God and keeping his commandments?
How did I come to know God?
