FROM THE PASTOR S DESK... Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Church, The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has a plan for parishes and parish leadership that is called the 2020 Plan. There are currently 203 parishes in the Archdiocese, most of which are administered by priests. By the year 2020, due to priest retirements, there will be approximately 100 fully active archdiocesan priests. The most effective way for priests to minister in the future will be through the clustering of parishes. What is a parish cluster? The Archdiocese of Milwaukee defines a parish cluster as a grouping of geographically bordering parishes working together on a shared vision and ministry plan. In order to ensure that priestly ministry is active in each of our parishes, the Archdiocese has assessed the sizes and locations of the parishes, and has developed a model of priest assignment and parish ministry based on the clustering of parishes. A cluster of parishes is not the same thing as a merger. In a cluster, each parish maintains its identity, while sharing the same pastor. Depending upon the size and demographics of the cluster, it is possible that a cluster might also have an associate pastor. The clusters will also rely on priests retired from fulltime ministry to help with Mass and the celebration of the Sacraments. According to the plan, St. Francis de Sales, Lake Geneva, St. Benedict, Fontana and St. Catherine, Sharon will be in the same cluster. The Pastoral Councils of these three parishes had a series of meetings to enter into a conversation on how we as a cluster of parishes might best collaborate in the future when there is one shared pastor. The organization option that we adopted for our cluster plan consists of the following elements: One pastor and one associate pastor One deacon per parish Some shared pastoral staff A shared, certified Director of Administrative Services at some point in the future Separate offices in each parish A single school supported by area parishes Separate Finance Councils Joint and separate Pastoral Council Meetings Trustees attending both Finance Council and Pastoral Council Meetings Some shared committees Proportional assessment for funding for shared ministries By the fourth weekend of June, we will be beginning the first phase of our move toward our collaborative effort. Both Fr. Dominic Thomas and I will be moving on to our new ministerial assignments, and St. Benedict and St. Francis de Sales will share a pastor and an associate. The new pastor for the two parishes will be Fr. Mark Danczyk (currently the pastor of St. Louis Church, Caledonia) and the associate for the two parishes will be Fr. Sergio Lizama, SAC (currently working in Hispanic Ministry in Burlington and Twin Lakes). St. Catherine parish will continue to be lead by a parish director, Deacon Tom McKenna, while remaining a part of the cluster. As we move forward into a new model of parish collaboration, it is important to keep in mind that while St. Francis de Sales, St. Benedict and St. Catherine have been neighbors, the 2020 Plan calls us to be more that neighbors and friends, but to be brothers and sisters sharing a common bond based on our mutual Catholic faith. God s Blessings, Bishop Jim Schuerman CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS NEWS The Catholic Daughters April meeting was held on April 17. We will be hosting bingo at the Lakeland nursing home on May 20 at 1:30 p.m. We will once again be sponsoring Glads for Dads in June. Our next meeting will be our May devotion on May 15.

FROM THE PASTOR S DESK... Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales: La Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee tiene un plan para parroquias y el liderazgo de parroquias que se llama el Plan 2020. Hay 203 parroquias en la Arquidiócesis, y la mayoría está administrado por sacerdotes. En el año 2020, será aproximadamente 100 sacerdotes activos de la Arquidiócesis, porque muchos sacerdotes se jubilarán. En el futuro, la manera más efectiva para los sacerdotes hacer su ministerio parroquial sería la de crear racimos de parroquias. Qué es un racimo de parroquias? La Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee define un racimo como un grupo de parroquias en proximidad geográfica trabajando juntas con una visión y plan en común. Para asegurar el ministerio sacerdotal en cada parroquia, la Arquidiócesis ha estudiado el número de miembros y ubicación de cada parroquia, y ha desarrollado un plan para el ministerio parroquial basado en la formación de racimos de parroquias. Cada racimo tendrá un párroco, y cada parroquia mantendrá su propia identidad mientras compartiendo a un párroco. En algunos racimos, el párroco trabajará con un párroco asociado, también. Adicionalmente, los sacerdotes jubilados ayudarán con las misas y los Sacramentos. Según el Plan 2020, San Francisco de Sales de Lake Geneva, San Benito de Fontana, y Santa Catalina de Sharon formarán un racimo. Los Concilios Parroquiales de las tres parroquias se han encontrado para entrar en una conversación sobre cómo podríamos colaborar en el futuro cuando hay un solo párroco entre las tres parroquias. La opción de organización que hemos adoptado para nuestro plan del racimo consiste de los siguientes puntos: Un párroco y un párroco asociado Un diacono por parroquia Algunos miembros de los equipos pastorales compartidos entre las parroquias Un Director de Servicios Administradores en el futuro Oficinas separadas en cada parroquia Una escuela apoyada por las parroquias en el área Concilios de Finanzas separados Concilios Pastorales con reuniones separadas y comunes Fideicomisarios asistiendo reuniones del Concilio de Finanzas y el Concilio Pastoral Algunos comités en común Un gravamen proporcionado para compensar los ministerios compartidos En el cuarto fin de semana en junio de 2017, entraremos en la primera fase de colaboración. El Padre Dominic Thomas y yo saldremos para nuestros nuevos ministerios, y San Benito y San Francisco de Sales compartirán un párroco y un párroco asociado. El nuevo párroco se llama el Padre Mark Danczyk (actualmente el párroco de la Parroquia de San Luis, Caledonia) y el párroco asociado se llama el Padre Sergio Lizama (actualmente trabajando en el Ministerio Hispano de Burlington y Twin Lakes). La Parroquia de Santa Catalina continuará bajo el liderazgo de su director parroquial, el Diacono Tom McKenna, quedándose una parte de nuestro racimo. Mientras que se mueve en un nuevo modelo de colaboración de las parroquias, es bueno tomar en cuenta que mientras que San Francisco de Sales, San Benito, y Santa Catalina han sido vecinos amigos, el Plan 2020 nos llama a ser hermanos y hermanas, compartiendo una unión común nuestra fe católica. Que Dios los bendiga! El Señor Obispo Jim Schuerman TURKEY/GREECE PILGRIMAGE Join Fr. Angel Anaya Oct 6-20, 2017, on this pilgrimage tracing St. Paul s journey to Turkey & Greece.

Project 2017 News, Upcoming Events & Project Updates CHILDREN OF THE WORLD You might remember that there was a medallion wall relief in a cabinet on the east wall of the church by the Main Street entrance. The lighting wasn't great and it was kind of hard to see. Here s the before picture. This art piece was purchased as a memorial by friends of parishioner Tony Tomaso who passed away suddenly in 2001 (way too soon). Tony was a great guy who was a Lake Geneva businessman and did so much for our community. He and he wife Marge were always willing volunteers at St. Francis de Sales parish and school. He loved to make people laugh and cherished his family above all. CONFIRMATION Congratulations to Courtney Anderson who was confirmed last Sunday during 10:30 Mass. Blessings from your parish to you, Courtney, and to your sponsor Carol Nocek. The wall relief medallion is entitled Christ and the Children of the World and was made by the Demetz Art Studio in Italy. The Demetz Art Studio is located in Ortisei, a small village nestled in the Dolomites, a famous mountain range in the Northern part of Italy, at the heart of the Alps. Today the Demetz Art Studio is one of the worldwide leading workshops that manufactures ecclesiastical art and continues the old tradition of woodcarving. It is a family business that was founded in 1872 and passed on from generation to generation. During the last decades it has reached worldwide fame for its modern religious sculptures as well as its traditional art. (On a side note, the Our Lady of Guadalupe wood carved statue that is on order for St. Francis de Sales is also being made by the Demetz Art Studio!) The Christ and the Children of the World memorial has been moved to the west wall and has new lighting to highlight its beautiful features. We took this dimensional piece out of the cabinet so that it could be easily viewed. We love how the colors coordinate with the new color palette of the church and how the subject is so perfect by our new baptismal font. It is truly a fitting memorial to a wonderful man who loved his children and spread so much kindness in his life. FATIMA: 100 YEARS LATER A message of warning, hope, and a promised triumph Join us on Tuesday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m. at St. Lucy s Church (3101 Drexel Avenue, Racine) for a special one-hour talk and Q&A to follow. Special guest, national speaker and author Dr. Peter Howard will lead families through the heart of the message of Fatima, explaining that total consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as THE secret for her Triumph over evil. There is no charge for the talk, no reservations necessary. A free will offering will be taken for the Heroic Families Apostolate. Snacks and refreshments will be available.
