Called to See and Hear
I learned how to interpret my mother’s call to me by the time I was five years old. If she said, “Tony
come here,” it was just for something normal. If she said, “Anthony come here,” I was in a little
trouble. If she called me Anthony John I was in more trouble, and if she said, “Anthony John Stubeda
come here,” I would wait before going, because I knew that I
couldn’t get in much more trouble than I was already in. It was all a
matter of understanding what my name meant in different
situations. I think that my childhood experience makes it difficult
for me to know what people are thinking when they call me
Fr. Stubeda. I think that using my last name began as a way to
distinguish me from the other Fr. Tony when we worked together,
and when he moved I thought that people would begin calling me
Fr. Tony, but it never happened. Habits had been formed, and I am
to remain Fr. Stubeda. However I always have to remind myself
that I am not in trouble when I hear it.
In today’s readings we reflect on the call of the prophet Samuel and
to the call of the first disciples. Samuel hears God calling him, but
does not recognize his voice. His confusion is resolved only with
the help of his teacher. In the Gospel, John the Baptist points Jesus out to his own disciples who then
are given the invitation to come and see. They in turn call others to come and know Jesus, and
Simon’s name is changed to Peter by Jesus. In each of these stories the call to know the Lord’s
goodness and mercy needs interpretation and those called need help in answering the call. In their
encounter with the Lord, both Samuel and Peter come to understand that their call is to see the world
through God’s eyes and to let the word of God guide their lives. Discipleship requires us to listen to
God’s call and to answer it with our lives. Discipleship is an invitation to see the world with God’s
eyes and to touch the world with the power and love of God.
This week we will observe the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in
the United States. This sad anniversary is a time for us to renew our commitment to the protection of
all life. It is a call to hear God’s proclamation of the dignity and value of life. It is a time to
strengthen our hope that God will answer our prayer and penitence with an outpouring of a spirit of
conversion and hope. We have been called by name to proclaim the light of the Gospel, the power of
Christ shining in every human heart and the glory of salvation in each person’s dignity and value as a
child of God and a brother or sister in Christ. We are called to be light in the darkness, hope to the
despairing and proclaimers of the Gospel of life. May God renew each of us in our commitment to
his saving plan for us.

Christ. During Adoration, we “watch and wait”, we remain “silent”
in His Presence and open ourselves to His Graces. By worshiping the
Eucharistic Jesus, we become what God wants us to be! Like a
magnet, the Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us. If
you are interested in being a permanent adorer or a substitute, please
contact Celia Knoll 320-327-2356 or cell 320-583-1320.

THE RE CONNECTION:
When the K-10 kiddos’ footsteps once again fall in the ‘ol hallowed
halls this Wednesday night, it will have been thirty-four days since
they exited said evangelical establishment for Christmas break.
Hmm…with such a tremendous transpiration of time, will they even
know who Jesus is anymore???  Oh come now, that was a joke,
which contrasts completely the commendable catechesis craftily
curried by our Holy Hep-Kats. Mind you, our Blessed Lord isn’t
drilled into those precious kiddo brains through preachy propaganda,
but rather, His ways and teachings are instilled into those innocent
little kiddo hearts through illustrious example. So until He comes
again, here’s to never forgetting Who He is, what He taught, or how
He loved!

World Meeting of Families
September 22-27, 2015
“called together from all over the world in faithful
celebration of the family.”
The Office of Family Life directed by Sister Candace Fier is busy planning for
this exciting event. To be held in Philadelphia, the six diocese of Minnesota have
decided to make this event a pilgrimage. It is hoped that the diocese could send 60
people to this seven day event. Those attending from the diocese will serve as
ambassadors bringing the experience back to the diocese to those who could not
attend. Imagine coming together with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, and attending
workshops related to families and family values. All the while you will be rubbing
shoulders with people from all over the world who also came to celebrate families.
Get Involved……
• You can attend the event. Contact Sister Candace at 507-359-2966 to
reserve a spot.
• Sponsors are needed to help fund this trip. Contact Sister Candace or the
Development Office (507-359-2966).
~Would you make a contribution to help defray the cost of the bus trip?
~Could you provide sponsorship for those interested attendees who can’t
afford the entire trip? (It is anticipated that the cost will be near $2,000 for
transportation (bus) , lodging, and other expenses.)
~Would you become a major sponsor of this holy event? Contact the
Development Office to discuss further this possible opportunity.

Area Faith Community News
THE ST. JOHN PAUL II AREA FAITH COMMUNITY
DIRECTORIES HAVE ARRIVED: To ensure that everyone gets
the directory they ordered we are asking that you pick up your
directory at your home parish. If you did not receive your directory at
Mass, you may pick it up at Holy Family’s parish office during
Bobbi’s office hours, at Holy Trinity in Nancy’s office during regular
office hours and St. Pius X in the parish office during regular office
hours. If you wish to purchase a directory for $10.00 you may stop at
your parish office to purchase it. We will not be selling directories
after weekend Masses.
DIRECTORY CORRECTIONS: It has come to the attention of the
AFC Directory Committee that the photograph of David & Karen
Osmek, members of St. Pius X, were inadvertently placed in the Holy
Family section of the directory. We were also made aware that the
photo of Dolores Schultz, a Holy Family parishioner, was placed in
the Holy Trinity section of the directory. We are very sorry for these
errors.
FUNERALS AND DAILY MASS SCHEDULES: While Fr. Tony
is on vacation there may be changes in the daily Mass schedule if
there are funerals. As always our morning daily Masses at the parish
where a funeral is being celebrated will be cancelled. It may also be
necessary to cancel Masses at other parishes if the priests are not able
to make it because of a funeral Mass. If you have questions about
how a funeral Mass is going to affect the Mass schedule in your
parish, please contact the parish office.
PROMOTING A CULTURE OF LIFE: This Thursday we are
called to a day of prayer for the legal protection of unborn children.
In the past we tried to have a special Mass in the evening that met
with very little success. In place of this special Mass we encourage
all of you to attend one of the regular Masses in our parishes or to
attend the Mass and rally in St. Paul announced below. It is also a day
in which through fasting or other penitential actions we can offer God
our prayer and pleas for the establishment of a Culture of Life in our
nation. On January 22, 2015 we will commemorate the 42nd
anniversary of Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in the United
States. Millions of babies have lost their lives in these past 42 years,
with over 9,900 babies being killed in Minnesota alone every year.
Once again this anniversary will be marked by prayer and witness to
the sanctity of life. The Annual Prayer Service for Life will take
place at 10:30 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. Paul with Bishop Lee Piche
presiding. Following the prayer service the MCCL March for Life
will take place at the State Capitol starting at 12:00 noon. Please refer
to the Family Life page of the diocesan Web site, www.dnu.org for
possible transportation opportunities in your area.
ADULT EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY: “Faith and Farming
with Deacon Tim Dolan is a 5 to 10 minute weekly internet program
with timely farm program tips from a 25-year-veteran Extension
agent, life-time farmer, and Catholic deacon. Programs include a
video with news tips (federal and state programs or meetings),
Psalms, quotes from the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the
Church, and intercessory prayers. Visit www.nikacatholic.com and
click the ‘Rural Life’ tab to watch the programs.”
FUNDRAISER FOR JUVENILE DIABETES is looking for
crafters and/or small businesses to sell their products on
February 28, 2015 at the Blue Note Ballroom in Winsted. Please
contact Anita at 612-719-0722.
SECOND COLLECTION FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
WEEK: Recently, the University of Notre Dame formed a task force
on Catholic education to seek out and to support Catholic primary
and secondary schools in the United States. The printed results of this
task force’s study concluded with the following statement. “To those
who wonder how we can afford to make the investment necessary to
sustain, strengthen, and expand Catholic schools, we respond by
turning the question on its head. How can we afford not to make this
investment? Our future depends on it more than we may suspect.”
Recognizing the value and importance of our diocesan Catholic
schools, Bishop John M. LeVoir has implemented a second collection
the weekend of January 24 and 25 for the purpose of sustaining and
strengthening the Catholic schools of the diocese. Please be generous
in supporting this collection.
PRAYER, FASTING & ALMSGIVING: A LENTEN
EXPERIENCE WITH THE SISTERS FROM THE DIOCESE
OF NEW ULM: Junior and senior high school girls are invited to a
Lenten experience with sisters from throughout the Diocese of New
Ulm on February 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Church of
St. Mary, Bird Island. Please register by February 23. For a
registration form, contact your parish office or Jeovana Michels at
(507) 359-2966.
BUS TO PRO-LIFE RALLY: The Holy Trinity Knights of
Columbus will be sponsoring a bus to the Pro-Life Rally on
Thursday, January 22. This is open to all members from our area
faith community, students as well as adults. The bus will leave Holy
Trinity around 9:00 a.m., right after morning Mass. We will go to the
Cathedral for a service and then march to the State Capital. Please
remember to dress warm and to bring a bag lunch for the ride home.
To reserve your spot, please contact Elaine Kahle at 320-485-5625.
