St. Mary’s Current, St. Clair
Science Lab Update
From Deacon Bob
!
I
received
an
email
recently which reminded
me of something I read in
St. James' Epistle (1:22 ).
“Do not merely listen to the
word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says.”
!
The email:
“Going to Church doesn't
make
you any more of a
Christian than
going to the garage makes
you a car.
Your beliefs don't make
you a
better person, your
behavior does.
Your words mean nothing
if your
actions are the complete
opposite.
Having true faith in
whatever it
is you believe must be
shown through
actions, believing is only
half the battle.
Let your dreams be
bigger than your fears,
your actions louder than
your words,
and your faith stronger
than your feelings.
!

St. Mary’s Current, St. Clair
Chalk Talk – October 26, 2014
Among the many memorable
moments of working in education are
the moments when students or
alumni return and share the good
things that they are doing in the
world. Recently, we enjoyed hearing
from three of our St. Mary’s School
alumni.
The first returning alumnus (who
wishes to remain anonymous),
graduated from St.Mary’s in 1962. She
visited our school office in September
and was especially pleased to hear of
our goals relating to the Catholic
identity of our school. Before leaving,
she gifted our school with a generous
donation, as her way of supporting
our dreams and aspirations for our
students.
Another alumnus, Anita Goodsel,
attended St. Mary’s in the 1980’s.
Anita wrote and illustrated a beautiful
children’s book about thankfulness. It
was presented to us recently by her
mother on her daughter’s behalf. The
treasured book will occupy a very
special place in our library.
On Monday, as many of you already
know, another one of our out of town
alumnus paid us a visit. Caroline
Goulding came to our school, toured
the building, and visited with our staff
and students. She reminisced about
the calm and simplicity of her years
spent here as opposed to the busy
schedule she now keeps. Later in the
evening, Caroline, along with two
other St. Mary’s graduates, Brian
Roney and Kevin Brunner, presented
a wonderful concert for the benefit of
the St. Mary School Mus ic
Scholarship Fund. What a blessing to
enjoy their talents and their generosity
to the school.
Words cannot convey the gratitude
that we have to all of these and many
other former students who continue
to encourage and support our school.
May God bless each of you! Blessed
be God!
Mrs. Geralynn Sutherland

Spartan Spotlight
Congratulations to our varsity
(grades 7-8) girls basketball team
on a very exciting and fun season.
The Lady Spartans won the 4th
place trophy in the league
tournament last weekend at St.
Mary's School. They defeated
Holy Cross School in their first
game before dropping two very
close games to Immaculate
Conception School and St. Mary/
McCormick Academy. A big
thank you goes to everyone who
helped during the tournament,
especially the parents of the
players.
Members of our Lady Spartans
basketball team included two 8th
graders, Adriana Kuffa and
Sarah Beadle, and the following
7th graders: Julia Edgington,
Megan Kammer, Sarah Kehoe,
Shannon Ureel, Olivia Parlow,
Annaliese
Lamontagne,
Annaliese Schocker and Grace
Thomson. The team showed great
improvement from the beginning
of the season thanks to the efforts
of their coach, Mike Kehoe.
Our junior varsity (grades 4-6)
girls basketball team concluded
their season this weekend in the
league
tournament
at
Immaculate Conception School.
Details from the tournament will
be in next week's column.

All saints…all
souls….purgatory
Here’s a topic that we need
to be thinking about as we
approach the month of
November; the month we are
reminded of all those who
have passed before us and for
whom we wish to pray. But
what does it all mean?
All Saints Day is a
commemoration of all those
who have died who are now in
Heaven (not just those who are
canonized saints) and now
enjoy the beatific vision of
God. Those who are in heaven
are referred to the “church
triumphant”. We ask them to
pray for us, because they are
with God.
All
Souls
day,
then,
commemorates those faithful
departed who are still being
purified
(purgatory)
in
expectation of Heaven. These
souls are referred to as the
“church penitent”. These are
the souls who need our prayers
to assist them as they journey
to heaven.
So what about purgatory?
What is it actually and why
can’t we just go to heaven?
Here’s the deal: we are all
sinners…we know this. And
for most of us we continue to
sin right up to our dying day.
When we die, whether we go
to Heaven or hell, we know
the truth…all of it: no need to
ask God any questions – we
will understand everything.
For those who did not choose
heaven, whose destiny is hell,
they understand – they get it.
Unfortunately, they chose
poorly during their lifetime
St. Mary’s Current, St. Clair
and, knowing the truth of
who God is and how they
rejected Him, is hell…for
eternity. No parole. Think
lots of pain.
For those of us who
accepted God, who loved
God, who strove to live a
faithful life according to His
plan, it is still possible that
we died with the stain of sin
on our soul. (Let’s pray that
there are priests to attend to
us and hear our confession
before we die!) Like those
who chose hell, (yes, not
choosing heaven is choosing
hell), when we die we come
to know the truth; we
understand – we get it! But
what we understand is that
the stain of sin still on our
soul makes us imperfect and
WE decide that we are not
ready to meet our God.
Think of a wedding. The
bride (we the church) wants
to be perfect to meet her
bridegroom (God).
But
oops, she notices when she
steps in front of the mirror
that she’s not quite perfect.
So she subjects herself to that
last effort of making herself
perfect, regardless of how
painful that final touch may
be. Willingly. We too as the
bride of Christ, willingly
choose to address any
imperfections before we
come to Him. We choose to
be purged of the sin on our
soul.
We want to be
perfect….and we can be!!!
Yeah!! God in His mercy
gives us every opportunity to
be the best we can be!! Wow!!
No wonder there is so much
joy in Heaven!! We are all
perfect!
The church
triumphant! We made it!
So, let us who are still alive
(the church militant) pray for
those who have died that
they may patiently expiate
their sins through the process
of purgatory. Let us fight
(figuratively) to get all souls
into Heaven. What joy there
will be when we are all united
together in the company of
God!!
See you there!!
