Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations Matt 28:20 On Tuesday, May 15 th I was blessed to travel with Ascension Parishioners Jean & Dennis Schmitz and St. Bernard Parishioners Lori & Tom Kasel to the St. Paul Seminary. We were attending the graduation of the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Catechetical Institute (CI) which began with Mass with Bishop Andrew Cozzens. On the ride down Jean and Lori had plenty of CI experiences to share with us, including the instructors and classes they liked most, the challenges attending class after a long day at work, how they were challenged to grow in their relationship with God through their classes, the joy of meeting fellow students from across our archdiocese who are struggling live out their faith, and the reward of learning [in my words] the WHY behind the WHAT of our Catholics beliefs. I did a quick count of the list of graduate: 181 in all. I noticed a spirit of joy pervading the whole evening. It was quite a blessing for me to be with these students and their spouses/loved ones for this joyous evening. For the last 2 years these adults have spent their Monday evenings delving into the Catechism of the Catholic Church which the CI describes as the road map for the journey in faith. The 4 pillars of the Catechism are: Creed: The Story in Miniature Sacraments: The Blessing Revealed and Communicated The Moral Life: Fulfillment in Beatitude Prayer: The Blessing Given and Received One of the real beauties of the CI is the nagging question which I heard surface throughout the evening festivities for the students: now what? In other words, now that I have a better understanding of my Catholic Faith, what does God want from me? The CI faculty gave an answer you and I can be grateful for: focus on building up your parish! Bishop Cozzens exhorted the graduate to be spirit-filled evangelists. Yes, we need these in our Church! Congratulations Jean & Lori! Fr. Gregory CALENDAR FOR ASCENSION AND ST. BERNARDS PARISHES Mon.
