Parish Office Contacts

Beginning Sunday, August 1, our 8:30am Sunday Masses will be in-person or livestreamed only. The only part of weekend Mass that will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel is the Homily (reflection).

Weekday Masses will continue in

the Worship Area through the summer.

Weekday Mass intentions are availa-ble. Mass intentions are most com-monly offered for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. It’s a special way to remember them. How-ever, Mass intentions can also be of-fered for a birthday, anniversary, spe-cial need, or a cause such as for any-one suffering from addiction, for peace in our country or world, etc. The intention can be for anyone (not limited to only Catholics). Often the person requesting the intention at-tends that particular Mass (however, that’s not required or necessary), and brings up the gifts during the offertory at Mass. The offering (stipend) for a Mass intention is $10. If you are inter-ested or would like additional info, contact Debbie in the parish office at dkelsey@seasgb.org or (920) 499-1546.

Celebrating Summer

Happy 4th of July!! When we get to this point, it means we’re looking to enjoy the second half of the “Lazy, Hazy, Crazy days of

Summer.” The earth is filled with the wonders of God and all our senses should be open to taking in the goodness of it all….

Following are some ideas to help in making the most of summer with your families/those you live with----

Some Old Fashioned Fun:

▪ Have a picnic

▪ Go to the beach

▪ Get out the squirt guns/super soakers/hoses & water balloons

▪ Sit on the porch/deck and drink lemonade

▪ Visit the Farmers Market

▪ Have a bon fire

▪ (I’m sure you have other ideas to add.) Go on a Pilgrimage-----

A pilgrimage is a journey taken to a holy place to become closer to God. Some people go to the Holy Land or the Vatican, a church or shrine. A pilgrimage doesn’t have to be far from home. There are many ways to take a “journey” to places we make holy by walking with the Spirit and each other. Following are a few ideas for going on a pilgrimage closer to home:

▪ Visit the cemetery of a favorite relative or friend. When you’re there, talk about the gifts she/he brought to you and others

▪ Visit an art museum and take time to thank God for the gift of painters and other artists

▪ Visit the cathedral or another church in town

▪ Visit a lake, go on trails or go to another spot that helps you appreciate God’s gift of creation

▪ Visit someone you know who might be in a nursing home or in their house but is unable to get out

▪ Go to a farm and take in God’s critters and all that farmers do for us (the one in Sturgeon Bay is fun for any age!)

Here are some fun ways to get to know more about your family or the people you live with:

Our moods can change like the Seasons or the Seasons can change our moods. Have each person take a turn…….

▪ Favorite Season and why ▪ How I feel during that Season ▪ What I like to do during that Season (continued next page)

(continued from previous page)

Name the TOP 10 most important things to your family/to those in your household. Give everyone a chance to contribute. You’ll be amazed at the differences and similarities.

Take some time around the camp fire or as you travel and have each person answer:

▪ What scares you?

▪ Who is a role model for you and why?

▪ What is your favorite movie? Why?

▪ What would you do if you were given a million dollars?

▪ Which one of your friends is most like Jesus? Why?

▪ If you were asked to give up your favorite possession, what would it be and why?

Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of Summer and thank the Giver!

Peace, Sr. Mary Peters, Pastoral Minister

MACKVILLE — A festive atmo-sphere greeted parishioners as they entered St. Edward Church for 8:45 a.m. Mass on May 30. The chattering of excited guests as they viewed a display of photos in the foyer, along with the smell of bratwursts cooking a few yards away, foretold a special occasion.

It was the homecoming of a parish son, who, 10 days earlier, had been ordained and installed as bishop of the Diocese of Duluth, Minn. (See story, page 11.) Bishop Daniel Felton returned home to celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving with fam-ily and friends, some of whom were present nearly 40 years ago when Fr. Felton celebrated a similar Mass following his ordination as a priest.

“So who would have ever thought a kid from Mack-ville…,” Bishop Felton began his welcome following the opening procession.

“One of the great privileges of being a bishop’s mom is that the bishop has to come to Mom. Mom does not go to the bishop,”

Bishop Felton said to a chorus of laughs.

Seated in the second pew in the center of the church was a smiling and proud Carol Felton, along with Bishop Felton’s four sisters and their families.

“And so, as we celebrated the ordination a while ago in Duluth, so Mom said, ‘Now it’s time for you to come home to your home parish and to celebrate,’” contin-ued Bishop Felton. “And so it is a great day of celebrating you, it is

a great day to say ‘thank you’ for all that you are and all that you continue to be in my life.”

Prior to the opening proces-sion, Bishop Felton greeted guests as they entered the church. One guest received spe-cial attention: Fr. Justin Werner, who had served as his boyhood pastor at St. Edward Parish and infl uenced his priestly vocation.

Our full story appears in the June 4 issue.

FRANKLY,FRANCIS

@PontifexFollow Him On

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today we conclude our series of catecheses on prayer by turning once again to the prayer of Jesus. In the fi nal hours of his life, Jesus’ constant dialogue with the Father becomes all the more intense, as he approaches his saving death and resur-rection. In the great “priestly prayer” of the Last Supper, Jesus intercedes for his disciples and for all those who will believe through their word. In the agony in the garden, he offers his an-guish to the Father and lovingly embraces his will. At the darkest hour of his suffering on the cross, Jesus continues to pray, using the traditional words of the Psalms, identifying himself with the poor and abandoned of our world. In those moments, the crucifi ed Lord takes upon himself the burden of all the sins of the world.

+ Pope Francis, June 16, 2021

Diocese begins Appleton-based ‘Encounter School of Ministry’BY PATRICIA KASTEN | THE COMPASS

ALLOUEZ — Do you want to experience su-pernatural moments in everyday life? Do you want the Gospel proclaimed with signs and wonders like those you read about in the Bible or the lives of saints? Do you believe God has a plan for you, a purpose that you and you alone are here to do, so the Kingdom can become more present here?

If so, the Encounter School of Ministry, which opens in the Green Bay Diocese this September, may be for you.

Encounter School of Ministry is a two-year missionary leadership training program.

Maximus Cabey, director of the local cam-pus. Explained the program as “designed to equip baptized Catholics, who are already living as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be able to come into the fullness of the

baptismal identity and to grow in recogniz-ing and using the charisms God has given them.”

Encounter is based in Brighton, Mich., with 17 satellite campuses around the country, as well as in Ireland and Australia. In the Diocese of Green Bay, the school will be located at St. Thomas More Parish in Appleton.

Our full story appears in the June 18 issue.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW Holy siblings

BY PATRICIA KASTEN | THE COMPASS

1 This past February, Pope Francis reunited three siblings. On July 29,

originally the “Memorial of St. Martha, becomes the “Memorial of SS. Martha, Mary and Lazarus.”

2 The three siblings were friends of Jesus and lived in Bethany, near Jerusalem.

3 Martha and Mary summoned Jesus to Bethany when Lazarus became

gravely ill. Lazarus died, but was raised from the dead by Jesus (Jn 11:1–44).

4 In John’s Gospel, Mary also anointed Jesus with expensive oil and dried his

feet with her hair (Jn 12:1-8), in prepara-tion for his own burial.

5 Legends surround the siblings after the Gospel era. From a 13th century

tradition, we hear that they fl ed Judea in a boat that landed in France.

5 St. Thomas More: A saint for our timesDear friends and followers of Jesus:

N ext week, the Catholic Church in the United States will once again celebrate Religious Freedom Week (June 22

to June 29). This is a time to give thanks to God for the blessings of our religious freedom, while also learning more about the threats that exist to this freedom today.

The celebration of Religious Freedom Week overlaps the feast days of fi ve saints who were killed because they stood up for what they believed: St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More.

In this column, I want to refl ect on how this last saint, Thomas More, can be an example for us in our own times.

St. Thomas More lived in England in the 1500s. That century was a time of great change and upheaval in our church and in our world. This was the era of the Protestant Ref-ormation, when Christianity split into numer-ous denominations. While many of these splits occurred as a result of differences of opinion about theological matters or the proper way to

worship, the issues in England were different. King Henry VIII was the leader of England

at this time and, while he was Catholic and defended the church against Martin Luther and others who were criticizing it, he also felt that the church should not have a say in how he lived his life. Specifi cally, he was upset that the pope would not grant him an annulment from his fi rst wife, Catherine of Aragon, so that he could marry another woman, Anne Boleyn. So, he simply made himself the head of the Church of England. In doing so, he insisted that the people of England recognize his authority over the church.

In other words, he asked them to accept something as true which was not true.

St. Thomas More, one of the king’s closest advisors (Lord High Chancellor of England) and friends, was asked to sign a document ac-knowledging Henry as the head of the Church of England. When Thomas More, a lawyer, refused, he was beheaded for treason. His famous last words were, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s fi rst.”

Much like St. Thomas More, we live in a time of political, social and religious upheaval. As a result of this, Christians are sometimes asked or expected to accept things as true which are not true.
