Mission Statement We, the members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, as a caring Christian community, help one another to live, to nurture, and to celebrate God’s gifts. We encourage others on their faith journeys to join us in giving witness to our Catholic faith and to grow as disciples. We celebrate the sacraments and receive the gift of grace to strengthen our faith and to enrich our relationships with Christ and his Church. We gather together to pray, to worship, to give thanks, to petition, to seek comfort, to share joys and sorrows, and to experience God’s love, joy, and peace.

All school-aged youth are in-

to receive a special blessing

Blessing of the Backpacks There will be a special blessing for all school-aged chil-dren during both Masses next weekend, August 25-26. Youth are invited to bring their school backpacks to church. Fr. Reynolds will give a blessing over the back-packs asking God to protect and guide our youth as they begin another academic year. They will also receive a special item to keep on their backpacks. Please join us for this exciting blessing!

Be Not Afraid; Be a Catechist Is Jesus calling you to serve His children and His Church this year? We are still looking for catechists to co-teach during Wednesday night faith formation sessions from 6-7 p.m. As Jesus tells us, “Do not be afraid!” All that is required is a desire to teach children about God’s love and the teachings of his Holy Catholic Church. All of the lesson plans and materials are laid out for you, as well as help from the faith formation team. Remember, God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. Do you feel nervous about being in a classroom? We’ll help you. Feeling nervous that you don’t know all the teachings of the church? We’ll guide you. Feeling unsure about how best to provide for our youth? We’ll train you. All it takes is a willing heart and an openness to God’s grace. Please consider volunteering for one hour a week during this school year. You will make a huge difference in the lives of the children in our parish, and you will also grow in your relationship with God. Contact Luke Gregory at (641) 792-2050 or [email protected] with any ques-tions and to talk about the opportunity.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT A thought or two on stewardship in the Sunday readings

Jesus announces that he is the “living bread.” And we understand that the Eucharist is the center of our life in faith: in our families, parish, local church and throughout the world. We are the stewards of Christ’s life in the Eucharist. We are called to put the Eucha-rist into action. How do we do that? St. Paul enjoins us to be always grateful, to worship, to try to under-stand the will of the Lord and to watch carefully how we live. What are some of the ways we can put the Eucharist into action this week?

Pray for our Military Please pray for the safety of these

military personnel who have ties to members of our parish:

Zachary Geringer, Steve Kalkhoff,

Joey Anderson, Alexander Podol,

Tim Dodge, Mark Modlin,

Sean Healy, Joshua Justus,

James Hovar, Scott Anderson,

A more balanced nutritious meal is likely to be prepared when all of

the family eats together. Shared meals also save money. Ask family members for their ideas on what to use for toppings on this kid friendly taco casserole. Some ideas include onions, tomatoes, avocados, olives and lettuce. Whatever you like on tacos will be perfect.

Taco Casserole

1 pound ground beef 1 medium onion, diced 1 jalapeno , seeded and diced 3 cloves garlic 1 pkg taco seasoning 15 oz can black beans, drained 4 oz can diced green chilies 3 Tbsp tomato paste 16 oz jar picante sauce 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9X13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside. Brown ground beef in skillet, and drain. Add onion, garlic and jala-peno. Cook until vegetables are soft. Stir in taco sea-soning, black beans, green chilies, tomato paste and picante sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes; set skillet aside and add 1 cup shredded cheese. Transfer to prepared dish and top with remaining 1 cup cheese.

Bake 25 minutes until hot and bubbly. Top with de-sired toppings and serve with tortillas or tortilla chips.

Life After Loss

“I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Coping with Grief Without Saying a Word”

My husband used to do drawings of the musicians during our monthly chamber music outings. Then I would stand proudly by as he got the signatures of the surprised and pleased performers. After he died, the director of the music series made a slide show of his many drawings and presented it at the beginning of the next performance. It was a great honor and very comforting. After that, I took up the mantle and be-came the unofficial artist of the Jewel Box series. Per-haps this is our continuing bond. Our styles are very different, and I never wanted to “compete” with him, but it feels good to share this with him now. And it’s a great conversation starter with the musicians too!

Perhaps they’ll do a slide show if my work one day.

Ave Maria Book Club On Thursday, September 6th, Ave Maria Book Club will meet in Sacred Heart Library at 7:00 pm for our first meeting of the 2018-2019 reading session. We will continue meeting the first Thursday of each month, through May. This is the 11th year that we’ve had the pleasure of gathering to discuss inspiring, insightful, and educational works by a variety of authors on a variety of religious subjects. If you read our brief descriptions of the material, we think you’ll notice that the subject matter of all is particularly cohesive and complementary this year. We have a core of long standing members, and we’re always eager to welcome new people. Now we look forward to a new season of learning, both from the books we’ve chosen for this year and from each other. Members have volunteered to lead discussions on the following works:

On September 6th and October 4th, we will view a DVD and use its accompanying study guide to learn about

St. Catherine of Siena. Father Robert Baron has created a multi-part film series, Pivotal Players, about a handful of saints, artists, mystics, and scholars who not only shaped the life of the Church but changed the course of civilization. We’ve chosen to study Catherine, a mystic, wonderworker, and confidant to popes and kings. If you’re looking for a fascinating woman role model, she’s worth a look.

If you become fascinated with St. Catherine of Siena the Mystic, our November 1st selection will interest you.

Gregory K. Popcak, in Broken Gods, “shows that, in a way, everyone can be a mystic, in the sense that they are increasingly aware of the presence of God every moment of every day.” Dr. Popcak asks, “What would change in your life as a result of your having become that sort of divinely actualized per-son?” So much food for thought.

On December 6th, we’ll learn a “whole new way of going to confession.” In 7 Secrets of

Confession, Vinny Flynn “explores the ‘hidden truths’ of this encounter with Jesus…inviting you to begin an exciting personal journey to healing and holiness.” This could be a welcome change for those of us (most of us?) who are stuck in an automatic recitation of sins rut in the confessional.

Following our study of Confession, on January 3, we will read about perhaps the most fa-

mous penitent of all times, Saint Mary Magdalene. Fr. Sean Davidson expands the typi-cal (and beautiful) image we have of her washing Christ’s feet with her tears. He “helps readers to learn from her inspiring example and to enter more deeply into adoration of Je-sus Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.” Here’s to a transformative new year.

On February 7th we can learn more about the “scriptural, traditional, and archaeological evidence of the life of

Peter…” Dr. Tim Gray reveals all this in Peter: Keys to Following Jesus. He “…illustrates how everything in Peter’s life points to the most important thing in all of life: intimacy and association with Jesus.”

James Day has written Father Benedict, which is what Pope Benedict XVI now wishes to be called. On March 7th, we will explore, through Day, the Pope’s teachings and discuss his “remedies for the many ills af-flicting the church and our culture, including individualism, materialism, secularism, and godlessness…Pope Benedict XVI offers our generation one of the clearest understandings of our world today, tirelessly champi-oning the New Evangelization and a sacramental return to Christ and His Church.”

We’ll study a devotional manual by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri on April 4th. Visits to the Most Holy Sacrament

and to Most Holy Mary is a new translation of his classic work, and is accompanied by the commentary of Father Dennis Billy. This is a must-read because it answers the often asked question: “How should I pray?” Father Billy’s translation gives “the reader practical and focused steps to deepening an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and with Mary, the Mother of God.”

At least once a week, we receive the Holy Eucharist. On May 2, we’ll discuss 7 Secrets of the Eucharist, by Vinny Flynn, and learn how this “ ‘greatest of all treasures of the Church’ ” can transform our daily lives.


Need Help? People who need assistance for shoveling their walk, or mowing of grass, or for do-ing odd jobs around the house, the Knights of Columbus would like to help. Please contact the parish office at 641-792-2050. They will handle all requests with privacy.

Monthly Adoration Hour for the Ladies of the Parish

Once again, we invite all ladies of the parish to our once-a-month Saturday morning hour of Adoration and prayer. During this hour of Eucharistic Adora-tion, we pray a rosary for an end to abortion, euthanasia, human traffick-

ing, genocide, and all other forms of abuse and exploitation of people throughout the world. We also pray a Chaplet of Divine Mercy in reparation for our sins and the sins of the world. We welcome you all to join us in this time of spiritual combat against the powers of darkness. It is a marvelous opportunity to grow closer to God and to build up His kingdom on earth. For September, we are moving our Adoration hour to the second Saturday, September 8th, from 7:00 to 8:00 A.M. in the daily Mass chapel. This is also a great day to come pray the Rosary, as it is Our Lady’s birthday. Bring your rosaries, and we look forward to seeing you there.

Prayer Chain To have someone added to the Sacred Heart Prayer Chain, contact Marilyn Lamb at 275-

0020, Mary Pritchard at 792-3518 or Theresa Stewart by e-mail: stew-art4@iowatele com.net. If no one can be reached, you may call Margaret Dimon at 792-9819.

Why Would Anyone Become Catholic?

Why would intelligent, successful people give up careers, alienate friends, and cause havoc in families...to become Catholic? As he was considering his own move into the Church, Donald Johnson traveled around the country to get answers form some of today’s most prolific Catholic converts.

Solutions in next weekend’s bulletin.

Due to a car accident, my adult son is

now impaired in mobility and speech.

Can I, his father, accompany him in

confession?

If a penitent needs as-sistance in communicating to the priest, an interpreter may accompany this person into the confessional. A willing penitent can use the service of an inter-preter if the priest, for exam-ple, doesn’t have signing skills or know the penitent’s lan-guage (Code of Canon Law, 983.2). (Your question suggests the priest wouldn’t understand the peni-tent without assistance, or he’s unable to write anything in advance to present to the priest.) The interpreter who has knowledge of the sins from confession is always strictly obliged to secrecy. This obligation applies to the sins ex-pressed and to specific counsel and penance given by the confessor. Any interpreter who betrays a penitent may be “punished with a just penalty, not excluding excommunication” (Canon 1388.2). For the confessor, “this secret, which admits of no ex-ceptions, is called the ‘sacramental seal,’ because what the penitent has made known to the priest remains ‘sealed’ by the sacrament” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1467). “Only those who have the use of reason are capable of committing mortal sin. Neverthe-less…persons with intellectual disabilities often are conscious of committing acts that are sinful to some degree and may experience a sense of guilt and sorrow” (Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments With Persons With Disabilities, 28). If the individual is capable of having a sense of con-trition, even if the sin cannot be described pre-cisely in words, the person may enjoy sacramental absolution.

The pursuit of wisdom and knowledge has long been a supreme striving of the human heart. Especially as we age, we hunger to truly understand reality, the human heart, modern culture, its problems and solutions. The Old Testament offers amazing tips on the pursuit of wisdom. Using the analogy of a woman who prepares a meal and invites others to dine at her table, wisdom is a gift prepared by God and set before humanity to receive. We don’t produce the truth. We discover and embrace it. We chew on it, take it in like food, and gain strength from it. The Jews had a hard time swallowing Jesus’ truth about the Eucharist. They argued among themselves, trying to figure out this truth instead of simply accepting this revelation as coming from one they could trust—then once accepted, strive to understand the mystery. Once we accept the world, situa-tions, and revelations offered to us, and strive to understand these gifts, then wisdom can become ours. Some fundamental attitudes accompany this changed

perspective: First, it is right to humbly accept the world, people, and situations as gifts to appre-

ciate rather than problems to be solved. Sec-ond, believe God has wisdom to share. Third, build upon truths already known and revealed, accepting that we can’t “know it all.” God’s hand fashions creation, holds it in his palm, and then offers it to us. We accept it as a gift, embrace it, and discover the wisdom of the hand of God hidden therein.

— Fr. Mark Haydu, LC
