per sorry for any con-

Just a bit from Fr. Schmidt Catching My Breath

It’s nice being able to relax a bit after quite possibly the busiest weekend I’ve ever had. Not to complain but just to give you some idea, it started with a wedding rehearsal and supper on Friday evening in Bowdle, and on Sat-urday morning, a Funeral Mass preceded by the Rosary and administering the Anointing of the Sick to two peo-ple in Hoven. After the Funeral, I set up for a visiting priest to celebrate a private Mass and then attended the meal at the Legion. Saturday afternoon I was back in Bowdle for the Wedding, then the evening parish Mass followed by the reception. Sunday was rather light with just one Mass in Hoven (and setting up for another pri-vate Mass by a visiting priest), but I did return to Bowdle Sunday evening to finish tidying up the rectory for the Bishop’s stay.

Monday morning, I was back in Hoven for another Funeral Mass and meal at the Legion hall, followed by a trip to Ipswich for our Deanery Meeting with the Bishop. Afterwards, when the Bishop arrived at the rectory in Bowdle, we took a trip to Hoven so that he could see St. Anthony Church, which he had heard so much about. Tuesday morning, Bishop DeGrood celebrated Mass in Bowdle and greeted parishioners before having breakfast and heading on towards Mobridge and Selby to visit with the pastors there.

By the end of his visit, I think the Bishop was rather jealous of my assignment. He had always wanted to serve as a priest for rural parishes and was never given much opportunity during his time in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. I’m definitely grateful for this assignment and such supportive and hardworking parish-ioners. The Bishop also commented on the beauty of the land during his drives.

One does wonder—with all the turmoil in society, rioters, and viruses that naturally spread more quickly in places with greater population densi-ty—if there won’t be more people wanting to move away from big cities back to more out-of-the-way places. There may be advantages to liv-ing in or near cities, but we should never underes-timate or fail to return thanks to God for the many blessings we enjoy in South Dakota and in this part of South Dakota. And I hope to never take for granted the great privilege of serving as pastor two of the greatest parishes in the Diocese of Sioux Falls.

Word of Life “Because of our belief and hope in the Resurrection, we can face death not with fear but with preparation…. We prepare for eternal life by choosing to love and follow God now, in our daily lives and decisions.” Read more at www.repsectlife.org/end-of-life-considerations
