Mission Statement

Saint Michael Parish is a Catholic Chris!an

community called together by God to share in

the mission of Jesus Christ. Our community

invites each member to par!cipate ac!vely in

the parish by freely developing his/her unique,

God-given gi"s to love and care for one

another in the name of Jesus Christ. We

recognize our responsibility to share these gi"s

with all members of the Kingdom of God. We

bear the responsibility of a community of

believers to accept and respect each other's

expressions of faith, to proclaim the Glory of

God through worship, ministry and joyful love

for all people. We willingly embrace the needs

of our members as well as the members of the

wider human community and challenge each

other to live the gospel values of Jesus Christ.

We hope that living our parish vision will result

in the spiritual growth and unity of our parish.

he Christian liturgy has never hesitated to speak, simultaneously, a language of sin and a

language of healing. …The simultaneous presence of both languages creates a tension that makes festivity possible. For unless festivity can deal with the unavoidable ambiguity of real life – its scabs and its successes – it becomes escapist. By insisting that we acknowledge our pain – our failure and our finitude – the festivity of worship offers us the possibility of moving beyond it toward a vision of humanity healed and reconciled. Diane Apostolos-Cappadona

SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC PARISH VOL.66 NO.23 THE TENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 10, 2018

Pastor’s Column

As we begin the summer season, we come to the close of our fiscal year and our school year. On both fronts, it can be judged to be very successful. Our school enrollment went up slightly during the year and promises to increase in the year to come. It looks like we will pay all our bills and be able to complete several projects that will enhance our school building for years to come. We have long been hoping to put new windows in the school building, as well as a new roof and a purification system for drinking water. In addition the school parents raised a large sum of money to underwrite much of the cost of installing air conditioning in the classrooms. Although it may sound like a luxury, a visit to a 7

th or 8

th grade

classroom in May, August or September will convince you that it is more of a need. We also feel that it will help us keep up with our competing school systems and be an advantage in our recruiting efforts. Joint efforts of our School Advisory Board, our finance committee and very generous parishioners will allow us to complete these four projects this summer.

A semi-farewell to Deacon Pete Pohl. Deacon Pete has retired from regular service of our weekend liturgies. Thank you, Pete, for your years of faithful service. It is our good fortune that Pete has agreed to continue visiting the local hospitals on behalf of the parish. It is a generous service that he performs so ably. By the way, Pete reminds me that because of some difficulty with a new computer service at Aultman Hospital we are not always able to connect with the patient information that allows us to know that one of our parishioners is a patient. So for the time being, if you are admitted to Aultman Hospital and want to be visited by the parish, please have someone call the parish office and let us know that you are hospitalized. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Aultman assures us that the problem is being resolved as quickly as possible.

We are happy to be hosting at the priests’ home for the summer a

seminarian of the diocese. William Wainio is 25 years old and was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, a son of Anthony and Cyndi Wainio. He has one younger sister. William grew up as a member of St Luke Catholic Parish in Boardman, and attended grade school at St Luke. He graduated in 2011 from Ursuline High School in Youngstown after four outstanding and fun years. He went on to study Sociology and Non-Profit Management at Youngstown State University. During his years at YSU he worked as a full time 911 Dispatcher for the Boardman Police/Fire Departments.

In 2017 William applied and was accepted by Bishop Murry to attended St Mary Seminary in Cleveland as a seminarian for the Diocese of Youngstown. “I have always enjoyed working with God's people, and before seminary I volunteered and worked for four different parishes in Youngstown,” William reports. He is currently a parishioner at St. Angela Merici Parish on Youngstown's Eastside, and has just finished his first year at St Mary. “I am excited” says William, “to be spending my summer here at St Michael.” Welcome William. I think you will fall in love with St. Michael.

Walking the Labyrinth at Twilight Twilight is a time for sharing – and a time for remembering – sharing the fragrance of the cooling earth – the shadows of the gathering dusk. Here our two worlds meet and pass – the frantic sounds of humanity

grow dimmer as the light recedes – the unhurried rhythm of the other world swells in volume as the darkness deepens.

It is not strange that discord has no place in this great symphony of sound – it is not strange that a sense of peace descends upon all living things – it is not strange that memories burn more brightly – as the things of substance lose their line and form in the softness of the dark.

Twilight is a time for sharing – and a time for remembering – remembering the things of beauty wasted by our careless hands – our frequent disregard of other living things – the many songs unheard because we would not listen –

Listen tonight with all the wisdom of your spirit – listen too with all the compassion of your heart – lest there come another night – when there is only silence – A great and total silence – ~ Winston Abbott

Summer Solstice Labyrinth Walk ~ June 21 ~ 7:00 PM Our Labyrinth is always open. -- Come walk anytime.

Spring cleaning for the soul

Why do Catholic Bibles have more books than Protestant Bibles?

Discovering hope and joy in the Catholic faith. June 2018

When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he chose to leave out the Old Testament books that weren’t originally written in Hebrew: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and parts of Esther and Daniel.

However, the Catholic Church, under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, con"rmed that the books Luther removed are divinely inspired and chose to keep them (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #120). The Council

of Trent (1545-1563) af"rmed the current composition of the Bible.

When a home is closed up during a long, stuffy winter, Spring is a time to open it up, air it out, and give it a brisk, thorough cleaning. The last few weeks of Spring offer us the opportunity for a brisk, thorough cleansing of our souls, too. Let in the sunlight. Raise the shades and illuminate the dark and dusty places of your life to reveal whatever is keeping you from a close relationship with God. Is accumulating money or possessions your top priority? Are you trying harder to impress others than working to please God? Do bad habits (excessive food, alcohol, drugs) dominate your

life? Make an honest spiritual assessment and get busy cleaning. Clear out cluttered closets. Is there

something stuck in the corners of your

conscience that needs to be cleaned out and

thrown away so you can put God "rst in your life?

Do you harbor unconfessed sin or an old grudge or unresolved disagreement? Seek forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation (Confession), perform your penance, make amends, and let it go. Freshen up. What spiritual change have you been meaning to make? Do you

need to make weekly Mass more of a priority? Does your prayer life need refreshing? Have you wanted to learn more about your faith? Now is the time.

St. Germaine Cousin Born to poor parents near Pibrac, France,

St. Germaine had a deformed right hand, suffered from sores on her neck and was sickly from neglect and abuse. Despite her sufferings, she found comfort in God’s presence, and prayed the Rosary while she tended the family sheep. She was generous with the poor, despite her own poverty. She even forgave her stepmother, who badly mistreated her. She is the patroness of abuse victims, people with disabilities, and shepherdesses.

Mindfulness

When we make efforts to be fully aware and awake to everything we do and all that surrounds us, we become mindful of God’s gifts and the grace available to us. “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:2). This takes practice, joyful effort, and discipline.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the "rmament proclaims the

works of his hands. Psalm 19:3

One of the struggles of many Catholics is “praying more.” More than an item on our to-do lists, prayer is meant to be a

conversation between us and the One who loves us. Here are some tips to “spice” it up: When: Pick a time of the day to pray when you are alert and can

do your best thinking. 15-20 minutes is recommended for best results. Pick a time and protect it. What: With so many devotions to choose from, it can be hard to pray well in 20 minutes. Choose one devotion and set a number of days for it – two weeks, a month, two months. If the quality of your prayer didn’t improve afterwards, pick a different devotion. Why: Many times, we go to God looking for answers, which is good. However, prayer’s purpose isn’t about getting information from God, but developing a relationship with him. The best thing we can do is be present to the one who loves us and wants to be with us.

June 1 – St. Justin Martyr (165). Justin was a Christian convert who searched for Truth. After his conversion, he held debates with pagans. When ordered by a judge to renounce his faith or die, St. Justin responded, “Nobody in his senses would give up truth for falsehood.” He was martyred for his undying faith. June 8 – Solemnity of the Sacred Heart (1765). At the end of the seventeenth century, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque began receiving visions of Jesus, who urged her to spread devotion to the Sacred Heart. The

image of Jesus with his heart exposed in unquenchable #ame – the Sacred Heart – is a reminder of his intense and eternal love for us. June 29 – Saints Peter and Paul (1st Century). Peter was the apostle chosen by Jesus to lead the Church. The Gospels include some un#attering stories of Peter, showing that he was ordinary, made extraordinary by God’s grace. An early persecutor of the Church, Paul became the Great Apostle, also transformed by grace.

“Mass is the same every week. I don’t always get something out of going.” Sound familiar? A ritual we know so well can seem predictable or even routine. Consider these gifts you get from attending Mass: Open your mind to something new. Within the Mass are lots of intriguing, mysterious, or just plain interesting ideas. Listen during the Scripture readings, the homily, or the Eucharistic prayer for something that strikes you and talk with God about it. He’ll help open your mind to something new.

Help others without leaving your seat. We all know people near and far we would like to help. Distances and barriers disappear at Mass. When Jesus becomes present in the Eucharist, the entire Body of Christ is present. So you can pray for anyone you would like to support and the entire Body prays with you. Make a change. Find at least one idea within the Mass that makes sense and seems possible

and put it into practice. One new idea can change your life.

Luke 1:57-66, 80,God means what he says.

Take a new look at the Mass

My prayer life is dull. How can I spice it up?

Sometimes God has to take drastic action to get our attention. Before John the Baptist was born, Zechariah was visited by an angel and told that his prayers for a son would be answered in a miraculous way. He also said Zechariah’s son would prepare Israel for the long hoped-for Savior. One might think that the appearance of an angel should have been enough to convince Zechariah of the truth of the message, but he was still skeptical that what the angel said was possible. He wasn’t listening with all his heart, so God shut Zechariah’s mouth

to make it easier for him to hear and see the truth. When the baby was

born, Zechariah demonstrated his

obedience in deciding to name the child John, just as

the angel had said, and his mouth was opened. Zechariah’s $rst words showered praise on God and told the people around him of God’s faithfulness and

awesome love. He reminded us that we can always trust God’s love and care. Listen for God’s voice and remember that all things are possible for God.
