INTERN’S INSIGHTS
I cannot believe it, but I just passed the halfway point in
my internship here at the parish, and I cannot believe how fast it
has gone. The seminary-required 3 months of internship are
over, and most of my classmates from seminary are leaving their
parishes to work at a hospital as chaplain’s for the summer. But
luckily for me, I feel extremely blessed that I get to stay at the
parish for another 3 months. It has gone by so fast and I have
done a lot, but I also feel like I am just getting started. I am
learning more and more names, where things are, and all the ins
and outs of parish life. Being halfway through also has made me
think back on all I have done.
At the parishes, I have done reflections at daily Masses
and one weekend Mass. I have led Bible Study sessions, RCIA
sessions, taught every level in the school (and played a lot at
gym and recess time), visited all levels of faith formation, been
in the hospitals, led Stations, and gone on Communion calls
(where I actually met my great great Aunt!). I led the Altar
Server Retreat (that was messy and wet), have improved my
Spanish a lot, and have loved being with the Hispanic Commu-
nity. Father Tom wouldn’t let me forget all the meetings as well.
This still only scratches the surface because, with all these hap-
penings, I have met all of you, and that has been the true joy of
my time here.
In my short time here, I have never felt so much love so
fast from a community. Everywhere that I have been plugged
into, there is a smiling face or a welcoming handshake. It has
made the transition to a new way of life so easy, and for that I
am very grateful. It has allowed me to discern my calling to the
priesthood in a new and deeper way, because if this is parish life
and this is what communities can be like, I think I am in the
right place.
Again, I just want to thank you all for the love and hos-
pitality you have shown me in these 3 months, and I cannot wait
to see what the next 3 months have in store.
May God Bless You All,
Johnathan Johnson

BETHLEHEM WOOD CARVERS - May 12 and 13 For centuries the Christians of Bethlehem district have earned a living by carving olive wood religious art to sell to visiting pil-grims. Fewer pilgrims are journeying to the holy land today, making it difficult for Christian artisans to support their families by dignified work of their hands in the land of Christ’s birth. Because of the lack of work, there has been a dramatic rise in Christian emigration from the holy land. Christians are now less than 2% of the population. Since the start of its mission, Bethlehem Wood Carving has helped hundreds of struggling families. Through his own experience, the founder has made it possi-ble for Catholic Christians in the holy land to maintain a healthy livelihood and their ancestral homes. Your purchase will make a difference in the lives of many Christians. Items will be available for purchase following all Masses, in church, on the weekend of May 12/13. We gladly accept all major credit cards, checks, and cash.

NEW MONDAY NIGHT SCRIPTURE STUDY BEGINS MAY 14!
A DEEP LOOK AT SIN AND VIRTUE Join fellow parishioners, along with Bishop Robert Barron, for this engaging presentation concerning the seven deadly sins, those great spiritual blocks that inhibit our flourishing in relationship with God and one another. Based on Dante’s writings, the seven deadly sins corre-spond to the seven levels of Dante’s Mt. Purgatory. Pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice, and lust are all present-ed as patterns of dysfunction within us that lead to unhappi-ness. However, Bishop Barron shows us how to counteract these seven sinful patterns through a conscious process of opposition, which are the “seven lively virtues." The seven lively virtues offer antidotes to each sin and help set us on the right path to healing and happiness. Contact Toni McKay at the parish office to reserve your study materials ($16).
Our Parish Purpose Statement - Saints Peter & Paul Parish
Our Pastoral Council has been working intensely with Father Tom to develop a Pastoral Plan for our parish. Parish Pastoral Planning is a prayerful and participative process through which a parish characterizes itself as a particular community of faith by developing its own purpose statement, assessing its strengths and resources, as well as its limitations and needs. All of this leads to making recommendations to the pastor concerning establishment of priorities and goals, and devising ways to accomplish its mission. Parish Pastoral Planning helps to answer the questions: Who are we as a parish? What are we called to do? How are we best going to do it? All of us are called to participate fully in the life and mission of the Church. The mission of the Church is rooted in the mission of Christ who commanded everyone - clergy, religious, and laity - to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15). From its earliest days the Church has responded to this mission in various ways depending upon the times and circumstances. Creating this statement of our parish’s purpose was a great challenge. The council could have simply quoted the parish purpose from the great commission of Matthew 28: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Jesus’ commission rings loud, yet there is great need in the world for the Catholic faithful to be moved to a renewed zest for the gospel, both personally and in sharing it with others. By establishing a purpose statement for our parish, the council hopes to eliminate any question as to our parish’s sacred purpose, and to ensure that the work of the parish, in all its forms, is directed toward this purpose. Our parish purpose statement: Our sacred purpose as Saints Peter and Paul Parish is to . . . use our God-given gifts . . .
Every parishioner is called upon to exercise the divinely-inspired calling and gifts conferred in Baptism for a particular function in carrying out the mission of Jesus Christ.
to awaken faith, inspire discipleship, and trust in God’s plan . . . Being a member of Saints Peter & Paul Parish is not only aimed at one’s personal sanctity. We are called to bring Christ out into the world, wherever our journey takes us, to affect the sanctity of all people. Each of us is to exude our Catholic faith as to rouse faith in others, to be an example of Christian discipleship, and to exemplify trust in God’s divine plan in all things.
so that all who enter our doors may receive, believe, and share God’s love. Whether one “enters our doors” by simply coming into contact with a parish member, or physically passes through the doors of our church building, our purpose is the same: To stir the hearts of people, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to become open to receive all the Lord unconditionally offers to every person, to attain certainty in the Gospel message, and to share in God’s love by embracing his love personally and becoming a vessel in bringing his love to others.
RECEIVE. BELIEVE. SHARE.
STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
CAMPAIGN PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we thank you for always being
present to us in the Church which you gave as the means
for our salvation and that of the whole world. A Church
through which life-giving and sustaining graces are
poured into and over us by the holy Sacraments. A
Church which is truly your “body” here on earth. We are
members of that body, filled with the Holy Spirit and
bountiful graces, and compelled to use the blessings,
gifts, and favors which have been given us to build up
that body.
Renew us with your grace and the gifts of the Holy
Spirit that we may give serious thought to how each of us
can better use our time, talent, and treasure to build up
your Church and to love better our brothers and sisters
who make up your holy Church.
May the Parish of SS. Peter and Paul continue to be a
community of believers who are willing to spend time
learning about God’s Word and will, about the words and
works of Holy men and women who have loved
Jesus and his Church, and may we then serve one another
and our fellow human beings, in showing
them God and his Holy Church.
This we pray, dear Father, through our
Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God for ever and ever. Amen.
The Stewardship Campaign Prayer was written by
a Saints Peter and Paul Parishioner.
