Please contact Deacon Phil Moore at pmoore1333@gmail.com if you or someone you know is interested in attending. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Just two years ago, we engaged in one of the core ac vi es of our democra c system: a presiden al elec on. Actually, the ins tu on of elec on can be traced to tradi ons in the Church, and although bishops are no longer chosen in this way, abbots and abbesses (heads of monas c communi es) have almost always been elected by full vo ng members of their communi es. The life me appointment begins when the monks or nuns are gathered in chapter at the death or resigna on of the abbot, and fortunately for all involved, campaigning is not allowed! The members of the community discern, with prayer to the Holy Spirit, who among them is the best suited for leadership. Once chosen, the new leader requests the blessing of the local bishop, who usually presides at a ceremony of consecra on or inves ture. The ballots are always secret, and a simple majority must be achieved. In our American system the Electoral College is the determining voice in the presiden al elec on, not the popular elec- on on a November Tuesday, just as the monas c chapter is the electorate. Today, most religious orders elect general superiors in chapter by delegates of the professed members, and usually for a term of six years. A few, like the Jesuits, elect for life. At least we don t have that weight on our shoulders when we choose a president. Four years at a me will do! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Everyone is invited to this annual parish event of good food and fellowship National Vocations Awareness Week As Catholics, we firmly believe that God has a plan for our lives! He calls some to marriage, some to the priesthood, and others to religious life. Some remain as generous single people. Fully living our own vocations and teaching young people how to discern God s call is a serious duty, but also a joyful one. Today begins National Vocation Awareness Week. During this week, please pray about how God is calling you to live your vocation more deeply. Encourage the young people in your life children, grandchildren, students, and friends to be open if God calls them to priesthood or consecrated life.
