The relic for veneration this week is:
Mary Magdalene of de Pazzi, feast day is May 25.
"The last thing I ask of you—and I ask it in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ—is that you love him alone, that
you trust implicitly in him and that you encourage one
another continually to suffer for the love of him." Mary Magdalene of de Pazzi
YEAR OF FAITH
It is hard to believe almost a year has passed since I embarked on my journey into the mysteries of canon law. I must admit
the first semester was a bit frustrating since it was like diving head first into a swimming pool. It took a
little while to adjust to academics again. Not only did I need to hone my critical reading, writing, and
study skills, but another beast stood grinning before me: Latin. Over the course of the first year, learning
the grammar, syntax, and sentence structure of Latin consumed the bulk of my time as it was an exercise
in pure memorization and it still confuses me. I did have a little fun with it in between deciphering perfect
subjunctives and passive periphrastics after I realized How the Grinch Stole Christmas is available in
Latin. (Please, don’t ask me to read it to you.) All in all though, I was pleased with my progress in the first
year. Whereas some of the material I was already familiar with, the rest of it was brand new. Still I
discovered many areas of canon law that I thought I knew, but knew wrongly. If there is one surprising
thing that I have learned this past year it is that canon law is not as black and white as I once had thought.
Canon law exists to protect the Church and for the salvation of souls. When canon law is properly observed, many
problems are avoided and the Church as a whole grows in holiness. Many of the problems that we are experiencing today
likely would have been avoided had we simply turned to our own canon law and followed it. Although it has its roots in
Roman law, the canon law of the Church is on par with, or even superior to other legal systems of the world. Plus the
canons themselves have nearly 2,000 years of history and development behind them.
With my first year of canon law completed, I am looking forward to being with you once again this summer as Fr.
Girotti embarks on his second summer of studies. I really enjoyed my time last year at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral and St.
John the Evangelist. With one summer already under my belt, I honestly feel as though I am returning home for the
summer. Blessings, Fr. Brian

St. Thomas More Annual Appeal – May, 2013
Dear Friend of St. Thomas More School:
St. Thomas More School, along with nine other Catholic schools in the Green Bay area, is part of the Catholic education
system known as GRACE (Green Bay Area Catholic Education). Although the support of these ten schools mainly comes
from GRACE and the 23 parishes supporting the system, as well as tuition from our families, each school is still responsible
for doing their own third source funding. St. Thomas More includes our Annual Appeal as part of our third source funding.
Donations given to this appeal will go directly to St. Thomas More School. St. Thomas More School continues to provide a
quality education for our Early Childhood through eighth grade students based on a curriculum that stresses the development
of the whole child in a creative and safe environment. The Christian morals, values and lessons taught in our school will
serve our students, church and community well for years to come as these young people become our future leaders.
However, the struggle to meet expenses and remain viable is a constant one. St. Thomas More serves a diverse urban
population and many lower income families. Any donations, large or small, are greatly needed and appreciated. Donations to
the STM Annual Appeal provide an ideal way to fulfill the Gospel mandate to pass on the legacy of the Catholic faith to all
generations. Your financial gift will enable you to respond to this divine challenge, and help us to meet our fundraising goal.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation, large or small, that will help enable this excellent school to thrive for many years
to come. As an alumnus of St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, St. Mary of the Angels or SS. Peter and Paul School, or St. Thomas
More School, a parent or grandparent of these students, or someone who believes in or has benefitted from a quality Catholic
education, your donation and support of the St. Thomas More Annual Appeal will be especially appreciated. The community
of St. Thomas More School thanks God for your generous giving and asks Him to bless your days abundantly. We ask that
you continue to keep our school and families in your prayers.

“FROM THE HEART”
Reflections on receiving Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist
from Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral First Holy Communicants:
“Thank you God for the gift of Holy Communion. I was very happy when I received You. I hope that one
day I can be with You in Heaven. Amen.” Sam N.
“Dear God, Thank you for giving me this special day to receive my first Holy Communion. I got to re-
ceive you in first Holy Communion with Father Girotti. It made me feel very special even if I was scared
not knowing what it would feel like. I received Holy Communion a second time this past Sunday. It made
me feel awesome.” Love, Brayden C.
“Dear God, Thank You God for coming to me through the gift and sacrifice of your Son Jesus Christ. I
ask that he stays with me and guides me in my life.” Hayden Z.
“Dear God, Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming to me in Holy Communion and all the other
sacraments. Please help me know what job I’ll have when I grow up. I’ve still got some time but I’d like
some help. I’ve got some ideas, here they are: a priest, a deacon, my dad’s new business, be a semi-truck
driver, or be a farmer.” Love, one of your children, David M.
“Thank you God for letting Yourself into me, now I will willingly give myself to you. Amen” Catherine S.
“Dear God, my first Holy Communion experience was joy, awesomeness, coolest, funnest thing that ever
happened to me! It was so fun that I almost exploded into pieces of joy! Thank you for making me feel
joy.” Love, Joseph P.
“Dear God, This day was the best! I got to go to Red Robin. I got to have cake. But the best thing about
this day was I got to receive YOU!” David G.
