Welcome!! We are glad you came to join with us in our worship today. We hope that you have
felt God’s love in a new, refreshing way…
From Fr. Tony:
“When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond
pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her,
has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil,
all the days of her life” (Proverbs 31:10-12). Although
this passage from the Book of Proverbs seems to be
referring to a husband and wife, I cannot help but think
about our Church. At the conference that I am at here in
Illinois (that is where I am writing this column), we,
priests, are reminded that we have been married to the
Church. We are Christ. We are alter Christus (another
Christ’s). Therefore, like Christ, our bride is Holy Mother
Church. She is our bride, and because she is our bride,
that means we value her like husbands value their wives.
However, you are not off the hook. By your baptism,
Christ is in you. You are also like Christ. Therefore, you
are also called to value the Church as well. Indeed, the
Church is worthy and far beyond pearls is her value. All
of us are called to value her beyond pearls. She brings
good to us through the grace of God, and not evil, all her
days. Therefore, as husbands take care of their wives, we
should also take care of that which we value, our bride.
One way we can do this is through the Diocesan Ministries
Appeal. Not only does this fund help our particular
churches but it also helps our local church, the Diocese of
New Ulm.
Our parish goal for Our Lady of Victory’s is $2,739.87;
St. Anne’s is $8,581.47; St. Mary’s is $3,153.43; St.
Mathias is $3,980.56. In addition to all the ministries the
appeal supports at the diocesan level, all gifts over our
goal will go to support the furnace situation in the social
hall at Our Lady of Victory, the support of our school at
St. Anne, the liturgical environment at St. Mary, and the
general expenses at St. Mathias. Keep in mind that our
needs might change as time goes on, but these were the
projects that the various Administrative Councils decided
on.
This year’s theme, “Rivers of Living Water will flow
from within Him,” is from John 7:38. The DMA offers us
an opportunity to do our part to support the ministries that
help to build the Church right here in the Diocese of New
Ulm. Next Sunday is Commitment Sunday for the 2014
Diocesan Ministries Appeal. Watching the video today,
we are reminded of the good work the DMA is doing in
ministries too big for parishes to do alone, but ministries
that are important to us. Remember, in supporting the
DMA, we contribute to those important ministries in the
diocese, but we also support the projects I have identified
above for our parishes. As we reflect on what our pledge
should be, prayerfully keep in mind God’s generosity to
you. Recognizing that generosity, the DMA offers a great
opportunity to return to God some of that generosity we
have received. Please pray and consider to support the
DMA and how much we value our mother, the Church
(whose value is beyond pearls).
YEAR FOR CONSECRATED LIFE
The Year for Consecrated Life begins on the first Sunday
of Advent, Nov. 30. Because this is Thanksgiving
weekend, our diocesan celebration to open the Year for
Consecrated Life will be the following Sunday, Dec. 7. A
Day for Consecrated Life will be held in New Ulm. All are
welcome; youth and families are particularly encouraged
to attend that celebration. Flyers advertising this event will
go out in the parish mailing next week. A PDF is also
available on the diocesan Web site, on the Office of
Worship page. Also, in many parishes where sisters serve
and will be present at their own parish on that day,
intercessions for Mass will be provided to pray for and
recognize those sisters as we begin this Year for
Consecrated Life. Those materials will be provided as the
date approaches.
Christ through Mary, Fr. Tony
