Main Street, Ionia Movies ~ Rentals Live Entertainment Gary Ferguson, Manager Intern’s Insights How do you deal with uncertainty? Today as technology ad- vances and we have break-throughs in the sciences, we know more and more about this world God created. We see the com- plexity and detail that goes into every little thing of creation. Yet, we still know very little about this world, and that drives some peo- ple nuts. There are things like different galaxies, quantum mechan- ics, string theory, cancer, the common cold, that all do not have answers. And just like them, neither do we have all the answers about God. You see, if we cannot figure out this world and the things in it, how in the heck do we think we will understand God completely or even his plan for us. That’s right, we won’t! We then must accept that we do not know everything, that there are things that we just will never understand, and then realize that God is God and we are not. It is in these moments that we must rely on faith. Which is a stumbling block for atheists and many people today, even for peo- ple who are Christian or Catholic. Many people will spend their whole lives searching and searching for answers to questions that may never get answered. Like, why do bad things happen to good people, why was there another shooting in a school, or why did this or that happen? It is in these moments that we can be at a loss for words and even become upset with God, but in the end, it comes down to faith and trusting in God’s will for the world. Re- membering that the world is not about just me, but should revolve around God. A God who is beyond our human reason to under- stand. This requires a leap of faith, because our understanding as humans can only take us so far. It is then by putting our faith in God that we will actually be able to understand more. Because faith is a gift given to us by God, and it can illuminate us in the areas of our human weaknesses. Then suddenly, the uncertainties do not seem so uncertain, because we are looking at the world with a wider and brighter lens. We then can live comfortably with the uncertainties of life, and God’s plan for us becomes a little clearer in our lives. And because we were given the gift of freedom, we can choose and live the path that he has given us to follow. God bless, Johnathan Pastoral Intern Tim Wall.

We invite all parishioners to gather before Masses for this final weekend in May to pray the Rosary. .

Time for Council Nominations! We are taking nominations for open seats on the SS. Peter & Paul Pastoral Council and Finance Council. Nomination forms are available on the table in the back of church and at the side entrance. Please prayerfully consider whom you would like to nominate. Completed forms may be placed in the collection basket, or they may be brought or mailed to the

parish office by June 6. Thank you!

The Prayer of Faith “Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the Church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord” – James 1: 14. On Tuesday, June 19

th, we will be offering an 11:00 a.m.

Mass with the Anointing of the Sick in the church. We will in-vite those facing illness or surgery and the elderly to receive the Sacrament of Anointing. If you know of anyone who would like to attend but needs transportation, please contact Vanessa Booth at 527-3610. We are looking for volunteers to make soup or bread, which will be served, after the Mass in Apostles Hall. A sign-up sheet can be found on the table in the back of church.

The Matthew Kelly event was EXTRAORDINARY last Satur-day evening. Over 50 SSPP Parishioners attended, and I am confident that each was spiritually moved in some way. Mat-thew started off by explaining that our parishes need to focus on Best Practices and Continuous Learning. Are we doing all that we do in the best way that we can as a parish? As indi-viduals? Are we doing what we can to continue to be formed and transformed in our faith? He spoke for 2 1/2 hours and every minute was worthwhile. If you have a chance to catch him at another venue, I hope you try to get there! He has many inspiring books, starting with his Rediscovering Catholi-cism and The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic, of which there are free copies available to you in church! Thank you, Matthew, for your inspiration and sharing your passion for our Catholic faith!

Summer Decision Point

Do you love learning about our Faith? Did you see Matthew Kelly and want to learn more? Did you miss the event and want to know what the excitement is about? Starting June 10

th, Chris Brown and Shana Herrman will be

offering the Decision Point Confirmation program as make-up sessions for those confirmands who missed classes dur-ing the year, as well as anyone who is interested in attend-ing. (Location is still to be determined.) Our parish has been using Decision Point for the past 3 years as our Confirmation program, and it really is a world-class program. This is an opportunity to learn more about the faith, explore how the Holy Spirit is already working within you, and spend time with others with the same desire. Each session is 2 hours long, occurring between the Sunday morning Masses in the Veritas room. The six sessions in-clude 5-10 minute videos with discussion. The sessions are also independent, so you can show up to any session any time, and don't need to be at all of them.

Our Parish Purpose Statement - Saints Peter & Paul Parish

Our Pastoral Council has been working intensely with Father Tom to develop a Pastoral Plan for our parish. Parish Pastoral Planning is a prayerful and participative process through which a parish characterizes itself as a particular community of faith by developing its own purpose statement, assessing its strengths and resources, as well as its limitations and needs. All of this leads to making recommendations to the pastor concerning establishment of priorities and goals, and devising ways to accomplish its mission. Parish Pastoral Planning helps to answer the questions: Who are we as a parish? What are we called to do? How are we best going to do it? All of us are called to participate fully in the life and mission of the Church. The mission of the Church is rooted in the mission of Christ who commanded everyone - clergy, religious, and laity - to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15). From its earliest days the Church has responded to this mission in various ways depending upon the times and circumstances. Creating this statement of our parish’s purpose was a great challenge. The council could have simply quoted the parish purpose from the great commission of Matthew 28: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Jesus’ commission rings loud, yet there is great need in the world for the Catholic faithful to be moved to a renewed zest for the gospel, both personally and in sharing it with others. By establishing a purpose statement for our parish, the council hopes to eliminate any question as to our parish’s sacred purpose, and to ensure that the work of the parish, in all its forms, is directed toward this purpose. Our parish purpose statement: Our sacred purpose as Saints Peter and Paul Parish is to . . . use our God-given gifts . . .

Every parishioner is called upon to exercise the divinely-inspired calling and gifts conferred in Baptism for a particular function in carrying out the mission of Jesus Christ.

to awaken faith, inspire discipleship, and trust in God’s plan . . . Being a member of Saints Peter & Paul Parish is not only aimed at one’s personal sanctity. We are called to bring Christ out into the world, wherever our journey takes us, to affect the sanctity of all people. Each of us is to exude our Catholic faith as to rouse faith in others, to be an example of Christian discipleship, and to exemplify trust in God’s divine plan in all things.

so that all who enter our doors may receive, believe, and share God’s love. Whether one “enters our doors” by simply coming into contact with a parish member, or physically passes through the doors of our church building, our purpose is the same: To stir the hearts of people, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to become open to receive all the Lord unconditionally offers to every person, to attain certainty in the Gospel message, and to share in God’s love by embracing his love personally and becoming a vessel in bringing his love to others.

RECEIVE. BELIEVE. SHARE.

STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

CAMPAIGN PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we thank you for always being

present to us in the Church which you gave as the means

for our salvation and that of the whole world. A Church

through which life-giving and sustaining graces are

poured into and over us by the holy Sacraments. A

Church which is truly your “body” here on earth. We are

members of that body, filled with the Holy Spirit and

bountiful graces, and compelled to use the blessings,

gifts, and favors which have been given us to build up

that body.

Renew us with your grace and the gifts of the Holy

Spirit that we may give serious thought to how each of us

can better use our time, talent, and treasure to build up

your Church and to love better our brothers and sisters

who make up your holy Church.

May the Parish of SS. Peter and Paul continue to be a

community of believers who are willing to spend time

learning about God’s Word and will, about the words and

works of Holy men and women who have loved

Jesus and his Church, and may we then serve one another

and our fellow human beings, in showing

them God and his Holy Church.

This we pray, dear Father, through our

Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one

God for ever and ever. Amen.

The Stewardship Campaign Prayer was written by

a Saints Peter and Paul Parishioner.
