CATHOLIC RADIO SHARATHON THIS COMING THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13th.
What a blessing our area Catholic radio station, WFOT, 89.5 FM is and/or can be if we allow it to
be this for us! Along with the internet and TV, radio continues to remain a vital instrument of
communication. Our local Catholic radio station testifies that the Catholic Faith Community continues to
thrive in a sturdy and vibrant manner.
If it is to remain an important tool of communication and enrichment, our local Catholic radio
station needs our support. This coming Thursday, November 13th, yours truly is to be interviewed in a live
Sharathon on behalf of our area Catholic radio station. I will be interviewed from 11:00 am until 12:00
noon that day. At other hours, pastors of other Catholic parishes in our area are to be interviewed. During
this time, I will be encouraging all to support our area Catholic radio station with our financial means.
Whether we listen to the Sharathon this coming Thursday, or not, pledge forms that enable us to
express our support for our local Catholic radio station are available in the area just off of our worship
space in both parishes.
Besides being a powerful instrument that can be used in witnessing to our Faith, WFOT, 89.5 can
be an excellent channel for promoting significant events in the life of our parishes. As one who is being
interviewed, I am not in control of the direction in which my participation in the Sharathon will take. If
given the opportunity, I will briefly list aspects of the life of our parishes that it might be helpful for more
people to be aware of. I would certainly want to highlight the strategic or long-range planning process that
is occurring in both parishes. This process invites and challenges our parishes to look ahead, to envision
the life of our parish communities within the bigger picture. In this endeavor, we are trying to sense, on the
basis of prayer and reflection, where the Lord wants us to be in regard to several facets of parish life 5
years from now. This leads to the development of goals and plans of action for arriving at these goals.
Each year, different goals need to be developed and plans of action for realizing these goals which invite
the participation of all.
One result of the strategic planning process at Resurrection Parish is growing consensus to erect an
outdoor Stations of the Cross on our spacious parish grounds. At St. Mary Parish, specific goals and
proposed actions to maintain and to strengthen St. Mary School as an outstanding Catholic institution of
education are being adopted.
St. Mary Parish has been designated as the site for the first of what we hope will be several visits
from our new Bishop, The Most Reverend Daniel Thomas, to our area. All parishioners of all of the
Parishes of our Deanery are invited to come to this gathering to meet our new Bishop.
Hopefully, we will want to promote the groups and activities of our parishes in a variety of ways. I
hope that we will regard our local Catholic radio station as an excellent means of doing this. Let us express
our financial support for our local area Catholic radio station as the Lord leads us to do this.
Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Nelson Beaver, Pastor
ST. MARY’S SCHOOL thanks the Altar Rosary Society for their extreme generosity of donating the
proceeds from the Mama Lucci dinner to the school. If you were unable to attend, you missed a delicious
dinner, great fellowship and the most dedicated and kind group of women you will ever meet. Thank you!
BISHOP DANIEL E. THOMAS TO VISIT OUR DEANERY ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd. St.
Mary Parish, Mansfield, is to host this gathering with our new Bishop. Bishop Thomas wants to meet as
many people from our Diocese as he can before Christmas. It is via deanery gatherings that he envisions
accomplishing this task. All in our Deanery are invited to this gathering. Bishop Thomas is to preside at
Solemn Vespers Service at 7:00 pm in church. This is to be followed by a reception in the school cafeteria.
What an honor it is for St. Mary Parish to be selected as one of the sites for this historic occasion for our
Deanery. I hope that both St. Mary and Resurrection Parishes will be well represented at this initial visit of
our new Bishop to our part of the Diocese.
