Fr. Beerman’s Column
May the peace of Christ be with you,
Please remember to sign up your children for
Totus Tuus summer faith formation program
which will be at St. John Vianney in Fairmont July
21-26. Many other churches have Vacation Bible
School and this is similar to those programs but it
includes the celebration of the Mass and learning
about the Sacraments of the Church as well as
Marian devotion. There is a daytime program that
runs from 9:00am to 2:30pm for those going into
1st through 6th grade. This will take place on
Monday through Friday, and includes large group
activities and songs, learning about the Sacraments
and Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary,
celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and
the Mass as well as games and introduction to the
lives of the saints. The evening program runs from
7:30-9:30 for those going into 7th through 12th
grade (graduated seniors are welcome as well).
This includes games, skits, learning about the
sacraments, Adoration and Confession and an
activity night. Students from Sts. Peter and Paul
Parish, Holy Family, and St. Mary’s are strongly
encouraged to attend as well.
We are in need of volunteers to provide meals for
the team, snacks and to serve the snacks, and
everyone is welcome to come to the potluck
supper on Wednesday July 24 at 5:30pm.
During the month of July we will be celebrating
the following feast days:
July 3 is the celebration of St. Thomas the
Apostle, who doubted that Jesus had rose from the
dead until he could put his finger in the nail marks
and his hand in the side of Jesus. Because of the
doubt of St. Thomas, our faith has been
strengthened. He is the patron saint of those who
struggle with doubts of their faith. He is also the
patron saint of builders and those who are blind.
July 6 is the feast day of St. Maria Goretti who
gave her life rather than commit a sin of impurity
with the hired hand on their farm. She was stabbed
14 times by a file, but appeared later to the man
who did it, and forgave him, saying she would
pray that he could be forgiven this sin by God. He
converted and became a brother, spending the rest
of his life in a monastery doing penance for his
sin. Maria Goretti is the patron saint of teenage
girls and those striving to live purity.
July 16 is the memorial of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel who appeared to St. Simon Stock with the
scapular saying, “Whoever dies wearing this
scapular shall not suffer the fires of hell.” There
will be a special Carmelite celebration on that day
at Annunciation Hermitage in Austin, MN.
July 23 is the feast day of St. Bridget of Sweden.
She had visions in prayer of the sufferings of
Christ and the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She
is the patron saint of Sweden.
Finally on July 25 is the feast day of St. James
the Greater. He was an apostle to the people of
Spain and his tomb is at Santiago de Compostela.
This has become a famous pilgrimage site, with
many people walking the Camino for several days
or weeks to arrive at the church of St. James and
receive the pilgrim blessing.
In next week’s gospel, Luke 10:25-37, we have
the parable of the Good Samaritan in response to
the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus tells
this story to illustrate that to love our neighbor
means to be compassionate to others in their time
of need. The Samaritan, and not the priest or
Levite, actually came to the aid of the man who
was robbed and beaten. It is also a parable of Jesus
himself who has come to the aid of humanity who
has been robbed of original grace by Satan and left
for dead. Jesus cares for us by pouring oil and
wine into our wounds and brings about healing in
our souls. Please be generous to the missionary
appeal and pray for our young people who are
attending the retreat at Steubenville Rochester.
God Bless you,
Fr. Andrew Beerman

From Fr. Klein
How can I say thanks enough? I could fill a page. Thanks
first to God, who told Bishop Quinn six years ago to ask
me to come here. Why do I ever doubt God? Why do I
ever question the Holy Spirit’s inspirations?? I should
have known from the beginning that something good was
in store for me.
Thanks, second, to the staff & support people closest to
me day-to-day: Pat Boettcher, Angie Nagel & Duane
Rorman. They’ve had a special place in the service of
these parishes in recent years & have been not only good
to work with for me personally but always have the good
of members & our parishes uppermost in mind. “One
plants, another waters, God causes the growth,” Paul
says (1 Cor. 3:8-9). As waterers (& more), they have
been models of respect & trustworthiness. We expect no
less from those who work for the Church. They exceed.
And thanks as much to the many others in St. Mary’s &
SS Peter & Paul who are not paid but are no less
dedicated to the life of our parishes & the mission of the
Church—people like Council members & cemetery
sextons come to mind. Also, I have a special place for the
many people who help with liturgy: musicians, sacristans,
coordinators of liturgical ministries, homebound & St.
Luke’s communion ministers. And catechists! The list
goes on & on. It isn’t so much my personal thanks that go
to you (after all, it isn’t me you’re serving!), but the
thanks of the many, many parishioners you love & serve.
They thank you. (I’m just the messenger.)
I leave with lots & lots of gratitude, & inspiration. (As
Melvin Udall said to Carol Connelly, “You make me want
to be a better man.”) And also memories of day-to-day
life here that included a rich vein of amusement. Your
names & faces are everywhere & will stay vivid as I
repeat to myself—& others (always prudently!)—many,
many things that I heard from you. Some I wrote down. I
wish I had more!
Finally, I leave with some envy. I envy Frs. Beerman &
Mulligan for what they’re inheriting. And I envy you for
the leadership & ministry & priestly & liturgical presence
you will have in them. You’re blessed. I can’t imagine
myself not a priest, but if I could I would want to be a
parishioner at St. Mary’s & SS Peter & Paul. And so,
finally, to God I can only pray, “Loving God, I commend
to your care all those you have given us to love.”
Benefit for Malcom Maday son of David and Bethany Maday
will be held on Sat. July 13th
at the Ghost Town Tavern in
Inogene. A Pork Burger meal will be served from 5pm until
gone for a free will donation. There will be a silen auction from
5-7PM. Malcom had a liver transplant on April 25th
and the
proceeds will help the Maday family cover current and future
medical expenses. Donations may also be sent to Bank
Midwest in Fairmont in Malcolm Maday’s name.
The Courier, our Diocesan newspaper, will no longer be
mailed to parishioners. They are now available at the church
entrance at SSPP & St. Mary’s. Take one for yourself and
anyone who may not get to church to pick theirs up. The July
issue is here now.

Next weekend, we will host Fr. Vincent Germace from Nigeria to speak about the work of the Catholic Diocese of Minna, Nigeria in bringing the message of Christ to the Poor. The Catholic population is estimated to be 95,000 and growing. Minna Diocese ministers to mostly peasant farmers, petty traders and students. Given the challenges of poverty and being in the midst of a Muslim population that is not always tolerant, the Diocese, is committed to responding to the issues of social justice, health care and human development. Don’t miss this great opportunity to share in the missionary work of the Catholic Church by standing in solidarity with your brothers and sisters in need. The Diocese depends on your
kind generosity to effectively provide and sustain primary
health care programs, like immunization, clinics for the
treatment of minor diseases, pre-natal and post-natal care for
pregnant mothers in poor and remote areas of the diocese. We
build schools in rural communities, dig cisterns for cleaner and
better sanitary conditions and support the building of churches
in rural communities for the dignity of the Eucharist. Minna
Diocese appreciates whatever support you are able to give at
this time. God bless you
