THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 28, 2020

A PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE… ANINTERVIEWWITHARCHBISHOP-ELECTROZANSKIConductedbyJenniferBrinkeroftheSt.LouisReview

Bishop Rozanski, thank you for joining us today. We’re so excited at the new of your appointment as the new archbishop of St. Louis and we look forward to your installation in August. I wanted to talk to you about a few things today just to learn a little more about your background. You’ve spent your entire vocation as a priest and as a bishop in the East Coast. Tell me what you know about the heartland of America and the Archdiocese of St. Louis in particular. +++Well,I’veheardsomuchaboutthechurchinSt.Louisand,ofcourse,thetitle“RomeoftheWest”reallysayssomuchaboutthechurch.I’veheardofthecohesivenessoftheministryofthediocesanpriestshere,thedeacons,themanymenandwomenreligiouswhoministerhereinthearchdiocese,andthecohesivenessofourCatholicfaithinthewaythatitislivedout.SoIamlookingforwardtobeingpartofthischurchthatisvibrant,thathassomanyfacetstoit,andthathasbeenledwonderfullyoverthesepastyearsbyArchbishopCarlson.Have you visited St. Louis before? I know we had a bishops’ meeting here in 2015. Were you here for that? +++IremembervisitingSt.Louisin2015atthespringbishops’meeting.WecelebratedMass,ofcourse,intheCathedralBasilicaandIwasjustoverwhelmedbythebeautyofthemosaicsandthenhearingthehistoryofhowthemosaicscameaboutoverdecades.Itwasjustfascinating.Thebeautyofthechurchreallyexpressesthededicationofthepeople,ofthepriests,andofthereligiousoftheArchdioceseofSt.Louisinsuchawonderfulway.I know that you have a very close relationship with your parents, Alfred and Jean, and that you have two younger brothers. You grew up in a working class family in East Baltimore. Tell me a little bit about your family’s reaction to all of this. +++Firstofall,myparentshavebeensoencouragingofmytwobrothersandmyselfinthewaythattheybroughtusupandencouragedustodowhatwefeltweneededtodoinlife.They’vealwaysbeenverysupportiveofmeinmypriestlyvocation.IthinktheywereshockedwhenIcamehomeandtoldthemthatIwasnamedanauxiliarybishopinBaltimoreandthenanothershockwhenItoldthemthatIwasmovingtotheDioceseofSpring ieldinMassachusetts.Ididspendtimewiththemoverthepastcoupleofdays,toldthemofthisappointmentheretotheArchdioceseofSt.Louisandtheywereveryshocked.MymotherandfathersaidthattheywouldprayformyministryandmyhappinessandforthepeopleofSt.Louis.Do you have any stories from parish life or any special memories of serving in parishes in the Archdiocese of Baltimore? +++Ithinkbacktomy irstassignmentasaparishpriestandatthatpointIwastheyoungestpriestintheArchdioceseofBaltimore.Thepastorwasinhisearly70’s.Wehadapriestretiredinresidenceintherectorywhowasinhislate70’s.ThewisdomthatIgainedfromtheminmy irstassignmentwasjustimmeasurable.Iwillalwaysbegratefultobothofthemforthewaythattheytaughtmebytheirexample,bybeingtherewiththeircounselandadvice,andjustbybeingopentolisteningtome,hearingmeout,andthengivingmetheiradviceandtheirdirection.IthankGodalwaysforthatfirstassignment.WhenIwasnamedtheauxiliarybishopin2004,ImetpersonallywithCardinalKeeleratthetimewhoordainedmeasabishopandIsaid“YourEminence,Ihavehadnoexperienceinthechancery.”Andhesaidtome,“Wellthat’snotabadthing!”Ihavecherishedmy20yearsofministryasaparishpriest.It’sbeenwonderfultoministerindifferentparishes.Eachparishassignmentbroughtitsownchallenges,butalsobroughtitsownjoys.Theministrywassodiverseamongsttheparishes,butwhatIfoundwasmostimportantintheparisheswasrelationshipsandcommunication,beingabletoreachouttopeoplewithvariousneedsandbeingabletocommunicateGod’sWordeffectively.IhopetocontinueinthattraditionasarchbishophereinSt.Louis. Tell me about your vocation as a priest. How did you know that you were called to the priesthood and how have you responded to that call over the years? +++ Well, I thought very early in life that I was called to be a priest. When I went to the seminary – and this is where my parents were so important – they said to me “if you find that this is not for you, you know you have a home to come back to.” They supported me all the way, in my decision to enter the seminary and through these years of priesthood and of being a bishop. I’ve taken them along a long ride and they’ve been there the whole time with me. So, from being a young child I felt a call to the priesthood.

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 28, 2020 Your family is very proud of its Polish heritage and I know from reading about you that you were co-chairman of the Polish National Catholic – Roman Catholic dialogue. Tell me more about your Polish American heritage and how important that is to you within the context of your Catholic faith. +++IgrewupinaneighborhoodinEastBaltimorewherethechurchreallywasanintegralpartofeverybody’slife.Itwasstillthereligiouscenter,thesocialcenter,itwastheschool.Everythingrevolvedaroundtheparish.Thepriestsintheparishwerewonderfulintheirministrytopeopleandpeoplehadaverygoodsenseofcommunityandofbeingtogether.Ithinkthat’swhereIgottherootsofmyvocation,butitwascenteredaroundourCatholicfaithandourPolishheritage.ToseehowtheygotogetherinPolandandhowthatwasbroughttotheUnitedStatesandcontinuesisjustawonderful,wonderfulthing.Ithinkitwasveryin luentialonmetoseethechurchashavingavitalroleineverybody’slife. I know that your family has upheld certain Polish traditions, maybe different foods at special times of the year. Are there any other special traditions that you’ve kept with your family in keeping with your Polish heritage? +++MymothersayswhenIcomehomeshelovestocookGolumpkibecausesheknowsthatIdon’tgetitverymuchelsewhere.ThepeopleofSpring ield,Massachusetts,wherethereisasubstantialPolishpopulationalsokeptmewellfedinGolumpkiandPierogiandKielbasa.SoIwasgratefultocontinuethatPolishheritageasIwenttoSpring ield.

Now, of course, I have to ask the obligatory sports question. One bit of trivia that has been loating out there is how the St. Louis Browns went to Baltimore years ago and now it looks like maybe we’re getting you in exchange for that in you coming to St. Louis. Tell me, are you a Baltimore fan? Do you enjoy watching the Orioles? +++IgrewupwiththeOriolesandnameslikeBrooksRobinsonandFrankRobinsonandBoogPowell.SothosearethemenwhoplayedwhenIwascomingupasayoungboyandIlookeduptothemandtotheOrioles.AndI’vestayedwiththemthroughCalRipkenandalsothroughthethintimes.ButalwaysandOriolesfan.

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 28, 2020 June 18, 2020 Dear Friends --- I received word from the Archdiocese that all parishes will enter Phase II regarding COVID-19 recovery with regard to Worship and Parish Life beginning Monday, June 22nd. Worship --- Phase II means following the occupancy guidelines of the county the parish is in. St. Charles County policy is aligned verbatim with the State of Missouri. Hence, occupancy restrictions are lifted. However, social distancing is still recommended and, per the archdiocese, masks will continue to be required in all parish churches in the Archdiocese. We will continue to require that masks be worn throughout the entirety of Worship except when receiving Holy Communion. Because of the social distancing requirement, we will need to continue sign-ups for Mass attendance so that the 9:30 Mass, in particular, doesn't get out of hand. I will be raising the sign-up limit to 160 beginning with the weekend of 6/27-28. That is roughly the number we typically have at 7:30 on Sundays. Using the additions for seating should make that number easily enough distanceable. The Archdiocese has reopened the possibility for the faithful to receive Holy Communion on the tongue, but they must receive from the Priest-Celebrant. I am not comfortable with that. I don't want my hand licked and I don't want to have to stop and sanitize multiple times during the distribution of Holy Communion. So, we continue to ask people to receive in the hand. I hope that you will accept that request from me in a spirit of charity. Parish Life --- Those Ministries & Services who wish are permitted to resume meeting on campus as of July 1. Social distancing and masks are required for all gatherings on campus. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE our Seniors (JASSS) Group to remain suspended from activities during Phase II. The Parish Of ice staff will resume regular Of ice Hours -- Mon through Fri from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm beginning July 1. All who come to the Parish Of ice for any need will be required to wear a mask and maintain social distancing while here in respect of the well-being of our Of ice Staff. - Fr. Brockland

Sacramental Preparation First Reconciliation and First Communion A child needs to have completed 1st grade religion class (PSR, full time school or home school), in order to be placed in 2nd grade PSR. Parents of children preparing for their sacraments should be attending weekly Saturday evening or Sunday morning Mass with their children and teaching them their prayers. Children who are in 2nd grade but have not completed the first grade materials will need to speak to the Director to determine if they can catch up over the summer. Children in 3rd grade or above will be place in their grade level for the first year and then be place in a sacramental prep class in their second year of PSR. Confirmation preparation is a two-year program beginning in 7th grade. Students who have not completed any of the grades leading to 8th grade will need to speak to the Director to determine their knowledge and where they will be placed in class.

Family Catechesis Program-Monthly Program Sundays 10:45am-12pm August -May Our Family Catechesis program helps parents grow in their own faith while they guide their children in core faith formation.

Families gather together for group prayer with the Director. Parents stay with the leader for catechetical preparation, while children attend class with catechists to complete the irst session of the month.

From the Evangelization Committee Do we understand the conditions of being a missionary disciple of Christ? Throughout the centuries, many saints and theologians have written on the importance of honoring the Creator more than creatures. In our personal lives, this means loving God more than any other human being, whether that person is our father, mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, spouse, etc. When we love God above all else, He will properly order our relationships so that we can serve Him most effectively. The Christian life always passes through the cross. There is no way around it, as Jesus tells us. We must pick up our cross each day and follow Him, knowing that He will present us with struggles and suffering but never in vain. God makes his power known precisely in man’s weakness and emptying of self. Never fear to share that knowledge with others, as you lead them to Christ.
