Pastor’s Notes
JESUS IS LORD!
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
There are a lot of exciting things happening in
St. Raphael School that I want to make you aware of. First of
all, through the generous donations from our parishioners of St.
Raphael-Holy Angels we have raised of $ 45,000.00 to renovate all our classrooms these summer months. This will include painting all our classrooms and the All Purpose Room;
removing old carpets from classrooms and laying new tiles, and
installing new blinds to replace the old and broken ones. When
the students return to school in September it will look like a
new school!
I recently had a second meeting with a committee of
school parents who are spearheading the fundraising and development of a playground for the school that will be located in
the field behind the rectory. In the next couple of weeks we
hope to have a ground breaking. The work will begin to ensure
we have the playground ready by the beginning of the school
year.
This is also the first year that St. Raphael School will
offer a Summer Computer Camp that has over 75 students enrolled. Ms. Sandra Poole, our computer teacher has assembled
an outstanding faculty for this camp, and will be direct the
camps activities. Ms. Poole is such a blessing to our school and
parish community. This was her first year at St. Raphael
School, and it is fair to say that she has (almost single handedly) transformed our computer lab to a high tech “state of the
art” computer center! We have all new computers for the lab
and for each classroom through out the school building. This
was accomplished because of Ms. Poole’s efforts and dedication. However, her greatest accomplishment, if you were to ask
her, would be her students and especially the Tech Team that
she developed this year.
This past Tuesday, our PTA hosted a welcoming “BarB-Q” for our new school principal, Mrs. Donna Tyburski. I
have had the privilege of working with Mrs. Tyburski and have
witnessed first hand her outstanding commitment to Catholic
education and the spiritual, moral and academic development of
our children. Mrs. Tyburski and her husband Ray are active
members of St. Martin of Tours Parish, New Hope, PA. With
her leadership I am confident that she will bring our school to a
new level of excellence.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this letter, there are
many exciting things happening at St. Raphael School. As a
parish community, it is our mission to provide Catholic education to our families. CATHOLIC SCHOOLS ARE A BLESSING! It is my philosophy that any parent who desires that
their child receive a Catholic school education, regardless of
financial situation, should be able to do so, as long as the parents are actively participating in their faith. I encourage all
our parents to consider choosing St. Raphael School to assist
them in the spiritual and academic development of their children. There are still openings for the coming school year. If
you would like more information about our school, please feel
free to call Mrs. Tyburski at the school. Have a blessed week!
In Jesus and Mary,
Father Jeff Kegley
Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Today we honor solemnly Sts. Peter and Paul, "Apostles
of Christ, columns and foundation of the city of God," as today's
liturgy says. Their martyrdom was to be considered as the true
and proper act of the birth of the Church of Rome.
The two apostles rendered their supreme testimony in a
short distance of time and space one from the other: Here, in
Rome, St. Peter was crucified and subsequently St. Paul was decapitated.
Their blood was fused therefore almost in one sole testimony of Christ, which drove St. Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon, in the
middle of the second century, to speak of the "Church founded
and constituted in Rome by the two most glorious Apostles Peter
and Paul" ("Against Heresies" III, 3, 2).
Shortly after, from North Africa, Tertullian exclaimed:
"This Church of Rome, how blessed she is! It was the Apostles
themselves, who with their blood, poured out to her the whole
doctrine" ("Prescription against the Heretics," 36).
Precisely because of this, the Bishop of Rome, Successor of the Apostle Peter, carries out a particular ministry of service of the doctrinal and pastoral unity of the people of God
spread throughout the world.
In this context one also understands better the meaning
of the rite that we renewed this morning, during the holy Mass in
St. Peter's Basilica, that is, the reception of the pallium, ancient
liturgical insignia, which expresses the special communion of
these pastors with the Successor of Peter.
My greetings go to these venerated brother archbishops
and to all those who accompanied them, while I invite all of you,
dear brothers and sisters, to pray for them and for the Churches
entrusted to them.
There is still another reason that renders our joy even
greater today: It is the presence in Rome, on the occasion of the
solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, of a special delegation sent by
the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I.
To the members of this delegation I reiterate with affection my welcome and heartfelt gratitude to the patriarch, for rendering even more manifest with this gesture the existing bond of
fraternity between our Churches.
May Mary, Queen of the Apostles, whom we invoke
with trust, obtain for Christians the gift of full unity.
With her help and following in the footsteps of St. Peter
and St. Paul, may the Church that is in Rome and all the people
of God offer the world a testimony of unity and courageous dedication to the Gospel of Christ.
I am following events in the Holy Land with concern
and I pray that all those who have been abducted may soon be
returned to their loved ones.
Iappeal to Israeli and Palestinian leaders that, with the
generous help of the international community, they may seek
responsibly for that negotiated end to the conflict, which alone
can ensure the peace to which their people aspire.
