We are also happy to acknowledge, through the grace of a secular holiday, the role of mothers in all of our lives. Please remember your own mother today, living or deceased, in your prayers. And, since May is the traditional month of Mary, the Mother of God, we remember her role in the Body of Christ. Mary is the role model of the faithful disciple, the faithful Christian, and our beloved sister, but she is also the symbol of our Mother, the Church. If we stay close to her, she will never let us fall away from her Son. And it is He Whom we celebrate with boundless joy on this, His day—the Lord’s Day, the day when He rose from the dead and the day that is always “little Easter,” especially when we are celebrating the “Great Easter” of fifty days now. During this time of graduations, we want to show our love and support for the graduating seniors of our parish, no matter what high school they attend. Thanks to the PCCW for sending invitations and arranging the reception following last weekend. We want our graduates to know that we are praying for them and that we love them at the Church of the Holy Spirit. God bless!We appreciate our Bishop’s Charity and Stewardship chairmen this year: Betty Bryant & daughter Mary Tilson, Steve and Julie Dodd, and Sean and Angela Minahan. If you have not signed your “DDP” card with them, please do so today. Whatever cards are not signed are mailed to the homes. Even if you have already made a pledge, please sign your card. This program has been a tremendous blessing to our parish and other parishes over the years, enabling them to undertake capital projects without high interest rates on loans from financial institutions. This also funds several diocesan programs that benefit all of us, especially when it is something that individual parishes cannot provide. Even though we have been struggling financially over the past few years in trying to keep the school open, we should never short the local Church, which is the diocese (the parish is just the local “outpost” of the local Church). After all, the diocese, through another project, the “Joy of the Gospel” campaign about five years ago, provided us the funds for a marketing director (through the “Flavin Fund”) and, over a four-year period, some $640,000 (through the “Francis Fund”) as a grant to us. In other words, each part of the diocese “pitches in” when another part is hurting, and the “DDP” (Diocesan Development Program was the original name of the Bishop’s Charity and Stewardship Appeal) has been one of the tools by which one part of the Body of Christ can come to the assistance of another—and we all need that extra help from time to time. Our parish goal this year is $49,140, of which the first 20% ($9,828) goes for these diocesan programs, and the rest comes back to us in the form of rebates that are used as part of our parish financing during the year. If we achieve our goal (and that may have happened already by the time of this being read by you), that means that the Church of the Holy Spirit will receive almost $40,000—or more, if we exceed the goal, which we have often done. We receive 40% of our goal back because we support a grade school (St. John the Baptist School) and 40% because we support a high school (Lourdes High School in Nebraska City). Of course, that means that we have to reach our goal. God bless all of you for your continuing generosity, not only of finances, but of time and talent as well. You are great and your spirit is great!I want to thank all of the people that helped to make our roof project a success. The building and grounds committee, especially Jim Ulrich, helped to coordinate the construction company and our parish functions, Linda Monahan and the staff and students at St. John the Baptist School, as well as our daily Mass people, who patiently and beautifully put up with the disruption that came with moving the daily Mass to the school gym (and to the Commons on Easter Monday), the fantastic (fab, even!) PCCW members who made sure we were not forgetting anything, and who cleaned up after the window replacement process, which put some dust around the church just before the Paschal Feast. Alleluia!
