This weekend we conclude our Easter Season

with Pentecost. Since Easter Sunday we have

continued our celebration and now move towards

ordinary time in a few weeks. Pentecost also

brings to a close the celebration of Confirmation

for our Diocesan Parishes. One of the responsibil-

ities of a Deacon is to assist the Bishop at Confir-

mation. This year I was only assigned to assist

Bishop Braxton at two Confirmations. I traveled to

Red Bud and to Metropolis. Naturally I have been to St. John’s Parish in

Red Bud many times but this was my first visit to St Rose of Lima Parish.

The drive to the home of Superman was over two hours. I really enjoy

long car rides, especially when I am alone. It gives me time to reflect and

to pray. My life is usually pretty routine and I find comfort in that security.

This past week, I have had to make some big decisions that involve work

and my ministry. I have been praying long and hard for an answer.

Sometimes, particularly in this instance God goes silent and I find myself

looking for an answer. During Confirmation there is a powerful moment

when all are asked to pray to the Holy Spirit for those being Confirmed.

Both at Metropolis and Red Bud the Church went silent during this time.

As young people I am sure they don’t understand that moment but since I

have witnessed it many times it has become a moving spiritual event for

me. Prayer for me is not always the same. Sometimes complete silence

without distraction is how the Spirit moves me. Let the Holy Spirit in as

you seek answers to your prayers, tough ones and simple ones. Let the

Holy Spirit guide you through life’s decisions. Come Holy Spirit, Come!

Wanted: Parishioners who are willing to serve on St. Boniface Parish Council. Submit candidate name to Father Ben, Deacon Steve, Parish Office or any Council Member. The Council meets only 6 times per year. Please consider serving your Parish as a Council member.

Special Cemetery Collection this weekend—May 23 & 24th. Envelopes are on the table in the gathering area or just mark your own enve-lope with the notation for the Cemetery Fund.

Respect Life Corner The Importance of the Holy Spirit—”Knowledge of faith is possible only in the Holy Spirit: to be in touch with Christ, we must first have been touched by the Holy Spirit. He comes to meet us and kindle faith in us.” (ccc.638). Learn, Act, Connect, Pray—”Come Holy Spirit!” Yes, in any discernment of God’s call, we need to call on the Holy Spirit to come to fill and inspire us. Do we think to call on the Holy Spirit? Pentecost reminds us to do this not just on one feast during the year...but every day.

Adult Education Summer 2015 Martin Luther and the Reformation

In 2017 people from around the world will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Numerous political, economic, social and religious transfor-mations caused the reformation as well as the personality of one Augustinian monk fearing for his own salvation. Join us in this special series as we examine the life and teachings of Martin Luther. Rather than simply dismissing Luther’s work as polemical or uncritically accepting his teachings we will watch a DVD series by Dr. Phillip Cary who balances different perspectives regarding this remarkable man. We will meet on

Monday evenings from 6:30—8 p.m. in the St. Boniface Meeting Room. Please join us for food, fellowship, and learning. (July dates are listed below) Date Topic

July 13 Introduction and Medieval background

July 20 The Young Luther’s Theology
