PAGE 4 Archbishop George J. Lucas Jan. 0 added his voice to those of Catholic leaders across the country criticizing President Donald Trump s executive order intended to restrict the entry of terrorists coming to the United States. Citing his membership on the board of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) for the last five years, the archbishop said in a statement that he has come to trust and admire CRS work with international refugees. In response to the recent executive order, I am reminded of the words of Pope Francis: There must be no family without a home, no refugee without a welcome, no person without dignity, the archbishop said. We do not know the shortterm outcome of the executive order, however, we do know what we can do now, Archbishop Lucas said. We have the freedom to be Christ for those already in our midst. I encourage Catholics to reach out to refugees and immigrants in our country who need help, and to contact their congressional representatives to make sure this temporary moratorium is lifted as soon as possible. The archbishop included internet links to opportunities to help immigrants through Catholic Charities of Omaha and refugees through Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska.

President Trump s order, The Protection of the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States, suspends the entire U.S. refugee resettlement program for 10 days and bans entry from all citizens of seven majoritymuslim countries Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia for 90 days.

The fraternity of secular Franciscans, which meets at the Poor Sisters of St. Clare monastery near Elkhorn, is one of several lay organizations in the Omaha archdiocese that embrace the spiritual and service missions of religious orders. Each lay group reflects the priorities of a particular order and all members strive to deepen their faith and serve others some with fun- January 5 Year-in-Review 4 6 draising and service projects, others more focused on prayer, such as the St. Clare fraternity. Requirements for participation vary. Candidates for the fraternity, for example, have a 7-month period of formation, which leads to a lifelong profession. Members meet monthly at the monastery for prayer and spiritual formation. In this issue, the Catholic Voice explores lay orders, oblates, associates and affiliates, and tells the stories of several members.

Simple, profound practices can make season special Families help Syrian refugees in need By JOE RUFF Catholic Voice It s families helping families. That s the bottom line as parishes and Catholic ministries step up to help refugee families most recently, several from wartorn Syria adjust to a new life in the United States. We reach out to our vulnerable brothers and sisters, said Kaela Volkmer, who chairs the social teaching ministry at St. Wenceslaus Parish in Omaha and helped welcome a Syrian family Ahmed and Sahar Al Kango and their three boys two days before Christmas. As part of reaching out, Volkmer and others put on a party Feb. 1 at St. Wenceslaus Church s social hall for the Al Kangos and about 160 other Syrian refugees in the Omaha area. They were among those sponsored through Omaha-based Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska or the Refugee Empowerment Center by people of several faiths, such as Catholic parishes, Beth El Synagogue, First United Methodist Church and Countryside Community Church. Do what we can, priest, others suggest, leave the rest to God It was an interfaith gathering, Volkmer said. It was a great time for them to have a safe, welcoming place to be together, and to know other families support them. It also was an opportunity for the Syrian community, which is just beginning to form in the Omaha area, to get to know and support one another, Volkmer said. It s an incredible blessing, said Father Thomas Bauwens, pastor, of the gathering.

And sometimes the 40-day period of prayer, penance and almsgiving marked out to help people prepare to commemorate Jesus dying on the cross and celebrate his rising from the dead at Easter doesn t go very well at all.

In a Feb. statement, Bishop Joe S. Vasquez of Austin, Texas, chairman of the U.S. bishops Committee on Migration, said public safety is important, but the memos contain provisions that, if implemented, would harm public safety rather than enhance it. He said the policies will needlessly separate families, upend peaceful communities, endanger the lives and safety of the most vulnerable among us. In a news briefing Feb. 1, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the guidelines include building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and hiring more border agents and personnel to repatriate illegal immigrants swiftly. The memos by Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly also called for state and local agencies to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law. Spicer said the guidelines were meant to prioritize for deportation anyone who was a criminal or posed a threat, but he also said laws are laws and anyone without permission to be in the country is subject to removal. The memos also addressed the issue of unaccompanied minors crossing the border to flee violence or seek reunification with family in the United States. Regardless of the desire of family reunification, smuggling or trafficking is intolerable, the memos said. Department of Homeland Security workers, the memos also said, should prioritize for deportation removable aliens who have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits. Bishop Vasquez urged President Trump s administration to reconsider the guidelines and approach it has taken in a number of executive orders and actions issued over the last month. Together, these have placed already vulnerable immigrants among us in an even greater state of vulnerability. RELATED NEWS Naturalization clinic in Omaha, national discussion of sanctuary.

PAGES JOE RUFF PHOTOS/STAFF Bishops review GOP health care plan Catholic News Service WASHINGTON Calling health care a vital concern for nearly every person in the country, the U.S. Catholic bishops said March 8 they are reviewing closely a measure introduced in the House March 6 to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Discussions on health care reform have reached a level of intensity which is making open and fruitful dialogue difficult, even while most people recognize that improvements to the health care system are needed to ensure a life-giving and sustainable model for both the present and future, said a letter to House members signed by the chairmen of four U.S. bishops committees. Given the magnitude and importance of the task before us, we call for a new spirit of cooperation for the sake of the common good, they wrote. The bishops didn t immediately respond to a Congressional Budget Office report issued March 1 estimating the act would cause 4 million Americans to lose their health insurance but reduce budget deficits by $7 billion over 10 years. The letter was signed by Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and the bishops who 11 Media & Culture head the committees on religious liberty, domestic justice and human development and migration. The bishops called on lawmakers to consider moral criteria, including: respect for life and dignity; honoring conscience rights; access for all; a plan that is truly affordable... comprehensive and high quality. Main provisions of the House bill include: eliminating the mandate that most individuals have health insurance and replacing it with a system of tax credits; expanding Health Savings Accounts; repealing Medicaid expansion and transitioning to a per capita allotment ; and cutting off funds to Planned Parenthood clinics. 1 Resurrection Joy 4 6 JUNE ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD Deacons Scott Schilmoeller, foreground, and Nicholas Mishek kneel before Archbishop George J.

LISA SPELLMAN/FOR THE Father Norman Hunke, pastor of St. Thomas More Parish in Omaha, baptizes Cassandra Jimenez at the April 15 Easter Vigil. By LISA SPELLMAN Four years ago, Cassandra Jimenez accepted the invitation of a friend to attend her local Presbyterian church. At 6, it was Jimenez s first encounter with Christianity. But with the help of her husband, she gravitated to the Catholic faith and at the Easter Vigil April 15, Cassandra was baptized with her four children, and received the sacraments of confirmation and holy Communion. As family members gathered in the vestibule of a darkened St. Thomas More Church in Omaha, waiting for Mass to begin, their faces were bathed in the glow of the new fire that would light the Easter candle. The once fidgety children, ages 6 to 9, stood still, seeming to sense the evening s solemnity. It was exciting to be able to do this as a family, Cassandra said after Mass. The whole ceremony was so beautiful, the candlelight, the songs, I especially loved how the Easter candle was carried down the aisle and kept lit throughout the entire evening. It was the climax of a journey prompted by the Holy Spirit when after that first visit to her friend s church, going to church was all she could think about. I kept telling my husband, we need to go to church, but he would go only to a Catholic church, Jimenez said. Miguel, 1, a cradle-catholic who immigrated to the United States at age 15, had drifted away from his faith, but was eager to reconnect. As head of the house, Miguel said he wants his family to draw closer to God. I had to go far from my family, from my friends, from my country and my church and I know how it feels to be away from God, it Media & Culture makes me happy to be back in a church community and to have my family there with me, he said. Born in Ohio, Cassandra said her family moved around a lot and didn t attend any church. They settled in Council Bluffs, Iowa, when she was 1. Cassandra later moved on her own to south Omaha, where she met and married Miguel. Miguel really encouraged me the most, he said, come on let s do this, Cassandra said. The couple began attending Spanish-language Masses with their four children at several area Catholic churches near their south Omaha home, and ended up at St. Thomas More, where they have remained since last fall. It wasn t long before Cassandra approached the pastor, Father Norman Hunke, inquiring VIGIL Resurrection Joy 18 0 Archdiocese lists 1 pastor assignments A new assignment can mean significant changes for a priest, moving from urban to rural, or rural to urban parishes or from small to large, or large to small parishes. That s the case for Fathers Matthew Gutowski and Walter Nolte, two of the 1 priests preparing for new assignments this summer as pastors. For Father Gutowski, his new assignment will mean a two-fold change as he moves from a small community and parish, St. Joseph in Springfield, with about 00 parish families, to St. Patrick Parish in Gretna, a more urban area, with about 1,400 parish families. In a smaller parish, you have an opportunity to get to know everybody, he said, but that s more of a challenge in a larger parish. To prepare for the move, Father Gutowski met twice with Father Michael Grewe, current St. Patrick pastor, to learn about the parish s daily routine, upcoming weddings and other practical details. He said he also will have more deacons and lay ministers on whom he can depend to take care of details he would tend to himself at St. Joseph. Father Nolte also will be moving to a larger parish, but in a smaller city, as he moves from St. Bernard Parish in Omaha, with more than 750 families, to St. Patrick Parish in Fremont, with more than,100 families. Adjustments will include learning new names and a new schedule, he said, but he looks forward to meeting the people of St. Patrick and being engaged in the life of the parish and the Fremont community.
