PAGE TWO YÜÉÅ à{x ctáàéüëá Wxá~ This Sunday is the of icial start of summer (can you hear me rejoicing?) as well as the longest day of the year. And of course, it is also Father s Day. We will honor all our fathers this weekend, just as we do for mothers on Mother s Day, by offering a special blessing for them at the end of all our Masses. And on this day when we celebrate our fathers we cannot forget St. Joseph the patron saint of fathers, and the one who was chosen from among men to be the foster father to Jesus on earth. We pray that the Lord will bless all fathers through St. Joseph s intercession, and we pray that all Christian fathers in turn may always look to St. Joseph as a model for how fathers are to be men of deep faith. And speaking of fathers, I m sad to say that one of our spiritual fathers will be leaving us. Fr. Steve Bauer, who has helped us with weekend Masses for almost the past two years, will be moving on to his new assignment as associate pastor at St. Luke Parish in River Forest. I hate to see him go, but I know he will be great at his new parish, and they are lucky to have him. We will have a Farewell Mass for Fr. Steve next Sunday, June 28 th at 12:00pm, followed by coffee and refreshments hosted by our Parish Council. I hope you can join us to say goodbye to Fr. Steve and wish him well. And incidentally, I asked Fr. Steve to send me a photo of him for our bulletin, and from the ones he sent I just had to choose the one that I ve pasted below. It is from a 5K Halloween race that Fr. Steve did, and he ran it dressed in a cassock. I love it, but I don t think I could ever do that because it would be way too hot! I also want to remind everyone that I ll be attempting the Racine Ironman 70.3 again this year on July 19 th (because, as I ve admitted, I m crazy). This is the race that consists of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike, and a 13.1-mile run. I will be doing it again as a fundraiser for the parish, this time to paint the outside of the rectory and to install landscaping timbers around the buildings. If you would like to donate, please use the envelopes in the pews. They can be dropped in the Sunday collection or at the rectory. Finally, I want to make a big Save the Date announcement. Next year our parish will celebrate its 90 th anniversary (St. Beatrice was founded in 1926). Members of our Parish Council have already started planning for this (and I am grateful to them). We will celebrate a 90 th Anniversary Mass at 12:00pm on Sunday, September 18 th, 2016 (please note that this is next year). The celebrant for the Mass will be Bishop Frank Kane, the Vicar of Vicariate II and the former Vicar General of the Archdiocese. The Mass will be followed by a luncheon, with the location to be determined. Please mark the date down now, because I would love to see all St. Beatrice parishioners join in our anniversary celebration! St. Beatrice and St. Joseph, pray for us. May God bless you. Fr. Rob
June 21-Twelfth Sunday of Ordinary Time: In the Gospel today, Jesus calms the sea and then asks the disciples Why are you lacking in faith. In our life s journey, we also must learn to believe in God s presence and to trust in his care. This week, please join with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in praying for the healing of all those who are ill and especially those who have no one to pray for them. JOYFUL AGAIN! There will be a retreat/workshop July 25 & 26,2015, for widowed men & women at Holy Family Parish, Inverness (Palatine Road). Being widowed is a special loss. This program is designed especially to help the widowed find Hope and joy again. Space is limited register early. Phone Joyful Again Widowed Ministry 1-708-354-7211. PAGE THREE TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When you are thinking about traditions in the Church, 1563 is a watershed year. The Council of Trent began a reform of the liturgy that put an end to old practices and set many of our present practices in place. For the first time, engaged people were absolutely required to appear before their parish priest, and to exchange consent in his presence along with two witnesses. To this day, Catholics are obliged to this form, namely: to marry another Catholic in the presence of a priest (or deacon) and two witnesses, unless dispensed from the law. The Council really didn t forbid customs and ceremonies that added life to the celebration, but the mood of the times was dark and somewhat austere. Practices like the blessing of the marriage bed or using a canopy for the nuptial blessing started to fade away, as did the custom of bringing the presents for the couple to the church and the addition of fiddlers and jugglers to the procession. The Council of Trent tried to preserve local customs, but the longterm effect was to standardize celebrations everywhere in the world. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. THE WIND AND THE SEA Living along the shores of Lake Superior the big lake, as the locals call it you can often hear the advice, Respect the lake; don t take it for granted. People who know Lake Superior respect its power and watch out for its many moods. Sunken ships and boats crushed into kindling are testimonies to what the lake can do. The readings of this Sunday evoke our memories of the lake, of the mighty Mississippi River, or of the ocean itself. Who but God can control these mighty waters and set limits to their advance? The lake described in today s Gospel was a body of water subject to sudden storms and churned into dangerous waves by terrible winds. But these mighty agents are subject to God. The sailor and the fisher all respect the water. Even more, they respect the awesome power of the Maker of wind and sea. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
