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. COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING SERVICE will be Sunday, November 23, 2014, at 3:30 pm at First Church of the Brethren, 889 Grace Street.
