Things I've Seen and Heard,
Musings of Fr. Bryan Reif
We are quickly approaching our annual time for elections to the various commissions and
councils here at St. Antoninus. I wanted to thank all of the people who have accepted nominations and have
decided to run for the Parish Pastoral Council, Education Commission, and Worship Commission. These are
very important consultative bodies to the Pastor, individuals whom I rely heavily for Pastoral Visioning,
assessing pastoral and parish needs, and help in setting Pastoral Priorities for the parish. I encourage all of us
to take a very good look at the information sheet featuring all the candidates, and to spend some time in prayer
asking the Holy Spirit to enlighten us, and help us in our voting, for the good of the whole parish, and for open
positions on these bodies. Again, thank you to all of the nominees, and thank you to all our parishioners for
your diligence and active participation in this election process.
I also wanted to thank all of our money counters, some of whom are new volunteers in this ministry, for
their dedication and work on Sunday mornings (on the Monday after Easter, too). Your time and talent given to
the parish community is very valued, and appreciated. Another thank-you goes to our ushers, and the many
parishioners who lent a helping hand to them in carrying up and setting out chairs in the greeting room on the
spur of the moment on Easter Sunday morning. Our Mass count for Easter Sunday was higher than we
anticipated, so I appreciate your thoughtfulness, and willingness to try to accommodate a larger than expected
crowd for Mass. Those chairs were carried up from the undercroft, which is no small task! Again, thank you .
In your charity, I ask for your prayers for our 2nd graders who will be receiving their First Holy
Communion is just a couple of weeks. Let us ask Our Lord to bless them as they prepare to receive His Body
and Blood in the Holy Eucharist for the first time.
Take Good Care,
Fr. Bryan

FROM OUR PRINCIPAL, MR. JACK COREY
Dear Parishioners,
Our jog-a-thon was this past Tuesday. This is one
of my favorite events. This is the first outdoor school
event of the spring. Volunteers come out and help
count laps, pass out water and encourage kids to keep
moving. While this is all happening, they are
reconnecting with friends. While the jog-a-thon is an
important fundraiser, it is also an important
FUNraiser. Thank you to all who came out to help,
with special thanks to Karen Witterstaetter for
organizing the event.
Please keep our second graders in your prayers as
they continue to prepare to receive the Lord, in two
weeks, for their very first time.
HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER GROUP
Now and then it is time to step back and examine
ourselves in our knowledge and use of God’s Word.
Scripture reading is and should be an integral part of
our daily prayer time. It is important to ask
ourselves in our reading, “What is the Lord
trying to tell me in this passage?” This of
course leads us to deeper reflection.
Helping us to understand this process better are two
of our own who have become accustomed to using it.
Ben Klaene and Judy Erwin have each selected certain
passages to develop into a reflection they’ll share with
us. What a positive aid this is in encouraging, through
our prayer, a closer, more loving relationship with Our
Lord Jesus. Come and share your thoughts on these
reflections. In Chapel, 7:00 PM Tuesday.
ADULT SOCIAL GROUP
To all who signed up for the Keeneland Trip on
April 22nd, – please meet at the priests’ garages at

refugees, and show Christ’s love and respect to all
people. Please give generously to the Catholic Relief
Services Collection and help Jesus in disguise.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus explains the meaning of the scriptures. Like the disciples, when we offer and
receive forgiveness, our hearts burn because we encounter the risen Christ within us. Have you considered
answering the call to “help the poor find forgiveness and healing in their life” by joining the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul? Join us each 1st and 3rd Thursday in the undercroft at 6PM. All are welcome.
ED UCATION COMMISSION
My name is Greg Lammers and I have been a member of St. Antoninus since 2004. My wife,
Christy (Locaputo) Lammers went to St. Antoninus. Our son Tyler is in 1st grade and our
daughter Emily will attend St. A after she completes preschool. Since joining the parish, I have
been involved by coaching St. Antoninus 6th and 8th grade basketball teams. I have also
volunteered with my son's St. Antoninus baseball and soccer teams. I grew up in Northwest
Ohio and obtained my degree in education from Bowling Green State University (1998). I
received a master's degree from Xavier University in elementary counseling as well as taking 30+ hours
of graduate classes in teaching elementary math. I am currently employed as a fourth grade teacher at
Sherwood Elementary in the Forest Hills School District in Anderson. If elected, I plan to bring an
educational perspective to the committee to help ensure our students are given the opportunity to meet their
academic potential.
PAR ISH PASTORAL COUNCIL NONIMEES
Todd Beekley. I seek to serve on the St. Antoninus Parish Council. I have had the opportunity to
be involved with St. Antoninus in various ways since moving back to Cincinnati with my family in
2011, including as a co-president of the PTO and as a member of the Education Commission. I have
thoroughly enjoyed these opportunities and believe that they would allow me to contribute
positively to the Parish Pastoral Council. I would greatly value this opportunity to serve our
wonderful Parish. Thank you.
Dave Bengel I’ve been a parishioner since 1999. My wife Kristi and I have three children, Ryan,
Kevin and Maria. Ryan is a junior at Elder. Kevin is an 8th grader and Maria is in 6th grade at St. A.
I’ve been employed at Bayer Becker Engineers as a Project Manager since 1990. I am a past
president of the Athletic Club and have been chair and co-chair of the summer festival. I’ve also
helped out coaching various sports at St. A along with being part of various improvements at
Schott Field. I am currently serving as a mass greeter. I would like to continue serving the parish
as part of Parish Pastoral Council.
ALEXANDER EWING
My name is Alex Ewing. I am a 32-year old father of three children. I am a lifelong resident of
Cincinnati (Little Flower, St. Xavier), as is my wife, Beth (Our Lady of Victory, St. Ursula). I am an
attorney at Frost Brown Todd and have been practicing law for nearly 7 years. As a parent with
young children, I am passionate about supporting Catholic education and passing on our wonderful
Catholic faith to our children. Our family joined St. Antoninus over a year ago, and we couldn’t be
happier with our choice to join this wonderful community! St. Antoninus is a warm and welcoming place and a
strong spiritual community. I am a excited for the opportunity to serve as a member of the Parish Pastoral
Council to help our parish continue to thrive.
Mark Fahner Melissa and I have been attending St. Antoninus Church since 1999 when we built
our home in the Parish on Greenery Lane. We have two children at St. Antoninus School, Chad (8 th
grade) and Natalie (5th grade). Raised Methodist, I became a Catholic through the St. Antoninus
RCIA program in 2010. I am interested in Parish Council as a means of giving back to the Church
and my fellow Parishioners. Professionally, I am a graduate of the University of Dayton and Xavier
University, and have been in leadership roles with Cincinnati Bell for over 16 years. I believe I can leverage my
experience as a father in the Parish and a business leader in the community to be a valuable member of Parish
Pastoral Council.

as I can on the Parish Pastoral Council.
W O R S H I P
Hello I am Mary Ann Baverman. I
would be honored to serve on the
Worship Commission. Since joining
the Parish about eleven years ago, I
have been inspired by the reverence
for the Blessed Sacrament that I have seen at Saint
Antoninus. In these past eleven years, I have enjoyed
having the Mom's Rosary Group come to my house
for prayer on Friday mornings. I have been honored
to serve as a Eucharistic Minister and to help out as
a greeter along with my husband Charlie Baverman.
Charlie and I are the parents of seven, three of
whom are now married. We are expecting our
second grandchild this summer. God is so good.
C O M M I S S I O N

IN TALKING WITH YOUR CHILDREN, remember to
raise the call to Church ministry. The process of
answering God’s call begins in childhood. Throughout
adolescence and adulthood, the attitudes assumed in
childhood begin to influence the course of one’s life.
A vocation or a talent will not grow to fruition unless
it is nurtured in childhood and adolescence by a
parent. SERRA USA
