From the Pastor�

�� Open Wide the Doors to Christ�Another hard

week of work on our project to provide a safer,

more accessible entry into the main vestibule of

our church!� You can see the vision now coming

into focus, with the raised level of the property in

front of the church.� More progress has been made

with the trenching and laying of underground �

piping to direct storm water from the downspouts

from the church and parish center, as well as water

off the ground into new intakes, into the city’s

storm water system intake at the northeast corner

of Miller Park.���

�� Entry into the church�most are now entering

the church for Masses at the Mitchell Avenue �

entry. We are reserving the very few parking �

spaces on the elevator side of the church that are

currently usable for persons who absolutely need

them for weekend Masses.� Thank you for your �

understanding and kindness in walking a little �

further from our large parking lot so that those

who cannot may attend Mass! Another courtesy

would be, after arriving at the Mitchell Avenue �

entrance to choose a seat on the far side of the

church, on the “St. Mary” side.� This way, folks

who arrive near the beginning of Mass can find a

seat more easily. This seems to me to be a �

concrete way to live Jesus’ own gospel command

to reward even those who arrive later to the feast

of the Eucharist with a place of ease (see Matthew

20:1�16). �

� � � � � � � � � � � � �

� � � � � � � � � � � � � Continued, top of next page�

As God has blessed each of us with a mercy and �

generosity beyond human logic and �

understanding, let’s all take the lower and less

convenient seat and practice the generous love

that our Lord teaches us.� We’ll be a better parish

family as a result!�

�� Last week, I invited us to use St. John Paul II’s

prayer for families and married persons. Here’s

the text of that prayer�maybe continue to use it

for married couples and families you know are in

a particular need at this time:�

�

Prayer for Marriage and Family�

St. John Paul II�

Lord God, from you every family in heaven

and on earth takes its name.�Father, you are

Love and Life.�Through your Son, Jesus

Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy

Spirit, fountain of divine charity, grant that

every family on earth may become for each

successive generation a true shrine of life and

love.�Grant that your grace may guide the

thoughts and actions of husbands and wives

for the good of their families and of all the

families in the world.�Grant that the young

may find in the family solid support for their

human dignity and for their growth in truth

and love.�Grant that love, strengthened by the

grace of the sacrament of marriage, may prove

mightier than all the weakness and trials

through which our families sometimes pass.��

Through the intercession of the Holy Family

of Nazareth, grant that the Church may �

fruitfully carry out her worldwide mission in

the family and through the family.� Through

Christ our Lord, who is the Way, the Truth

and the Life for ever and ever.� Amen.�

�� When I was a small boy, my parents decided to

add a room on the house. (Maybe it was because

of my arrival as the youngest that we needed more

space!) The cost of the addition meant that we’d

have to do without some other perks for a while�

but we sure enjoyed what we then called “the �

living room”�and there was lots of living in that

room!� As a parish family, we’re also in the �

process of improving our parish facilities to give

to present and future generations an improved and

more functional, safer, and more accessible

church. Since this is a choice that we needed to

make together, I ask every family to consider how

you can give to support this work of your parish �

family.� It is clear that it will take a sacrifice�but

that’s what our ancestors did for us and�that’s

what Christians do for one another.� Whatever the

size of your sacrificial gift�it is needed and �

appreciated!�� � � � �

parish’s 75th jubilee. Visit

www.sted.org/about�us to find novena

reflections on our YouTube channel.�

St. Edward, pray for us!�

THANK YOU FROM OUR CVCS �

ADMINISTRATION�

The�theme for our Cedar Valley Catholic Schools this

year is:��God's Work. Our Hands.�Our parish was

asked to provide homemade breads and jams for a

back�to�school gathering of our CVCS teachers and

staff on their first day. We reached out to several of

our parish "bakers" with a request to assist, and you

promptly responded!� We received a note of �

appreciation for "using your hands to create �

homemade breads (and jams)...making this day �

special for them."�
