a marble Pieta Statue, especially for the consolation
of all parents who have lost a child, both the born and
the unborn. It will be built after the 13th Station of
the Cross: Jesus is taken down from the Cross.
You can memorialize a loved one by dedicating the

plaque or dedicating a small bronze plaque placed at
the base of the shrine.

Fall 2019
BLAZE is coming to
St. Patrick’s
Blaze is the Walking with Purpose ministry for 7th
and 8th grade girls. It was created to counteract the
way our society drives girls to question their identity,
worth and beauty. Girls in their tween/teen years are
filled with questions. They have doubts, they desire
clarification, and they want to share their thoughts in
a space that will allow them to make their relationship
with God personal and meaningful.
Beginning in Fall 2019, the girls will meet twice per
month for a one hour session. As the girls are
introduced to the Bible in a relevant and fresh way,
they will hear Jesus telling them how loved and
beautiful they are!

An Autobiography of a Vocation: Chapter XIII
Why do I tell this story of Ray Leonard and the troubles at Divine Word College Seminary? It is not in any way to indict the seminary there or the brothers and priests of the Divine Word Missionaries. There were many good and holy brothers and priests that I met during my 4 years of study there. Unfortunately, the over-all thrust of liturgy, theology, and spiritual for-mation was misdirected, or as I prefer to say, disoriented. There were a couple of bad eggs but most, if they do not fit in my appraisal as “good and holy” brothers and priests, where well intended men caught up in the confusion and the progressive mo-mentum of the 70’s and early 80’s. But again, this is my appraisal, it is only our Lord’s appraisal that counts. I mention this because it lead me to the second phase of my vocation: The Church. The first phrase was my discovery of Christ at the age of 16, already recounted earlier in this series. While at Divine Word a whole new world of understanding was present-ed to me and Ray Leonard was the catalyst for it. In my late night studies in the library, reading church document after church document late into the wee hours of the morning, I came to discover the beauty and the integral unity of Truth in the official teachings of the Catholic Church. I discovered the Church not simply as an institution, but as the Mystical Body of Christ, my Lord whom I promised to give my whole self in gratitude for His love and sacrifice for me. I came to understand that His Mys-tical Body is also His Bride. Just as in marriage the groom and bride become one flesh, so too Christ becomes one flesh with His Bride the Church. I fell in love with her beauty in her Teachings, in her Sacraments, and in her rich history of traditions and Traditions. I also realized, not only do so few seem to appreciate or know of the mystery of Christ’s love for them, but so few seem to ap-preciate the beauty and mystery of Christ’s love for them in and through His Church. I thought if I had a bride I would want to exult her, lift her high, sing her praises. How wounded would I be when others ridiculed her and rejected her, or stripped her of her beauty and sacredness? I saw this happing with our Lord’s bride the Church, not only because of the bad example of sinful people (laity, priests and bishops), but mostly because they did not know or understand her in her teachings, sacred liturgy, or as being the mystical bride and eternal spouse of Christ her Lord. I understood this ignorance to be rooted primarily in serious liturgical abuse of the Sacred Mass, poor and even out right heretical catechesis, and a serious lack of concern for, or rejection of, the sacred in all things, especially her moral teachings. I saw a need here in the United States to re-evangelize the Catholic faithful who have been devastated by this confusion, rejec-tion of fundamental Catholic teaching, destruction of the sense of the sacred – especially in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Al-so, I came to understand my call to the priesthood as a call to participate in the one and only Priesthood of Jesus Christ. As a priest I would share with Christ in the role of Groom with the Church as my Bride. I wanted to defend her, cloth her with the Sacred, proclaim her, teach her doctrines. I was in love with her. I knew I was fortunate to grow up with a mother who was a bulwark for the truths of the Catholic faith and with a parish priest who was faithful to the Church’s teachings and respected the concept of the sacred, especially at Mass. But I also understood, that even with that, my understanding of the Catholic faith was extremely deficient. I wanted now to proclaiming the Truths of the Catholic Faith, to exalt our Lord’s Bride the Church, and to cloth/surround her with the garments of Sacredness that were torn from her. These garments are her beautiful traditions and Traditions. I do not mean the new garments that the official authority of the Church prescribed for her in place of some older garments of tradition. While some of these older garments were truly beautiful and wondrous in their ability to surround her with the sense of sacredness, the new ones have a beauty of their own, even in their simplicity. The garments that were torn from her, that I am referring to, are those that pertain to Divine Apostolic Tradition that must always remain and the beautiful traditions that the official authorities never authorized to be torn away and were often replaced with passing novelty and fads that were never authorized by the Church. Because of all of this, my vocation took a turn from foreign missions to home missions but I did not want to give up on reli-gious life* yet. I wanted to give religious life one more chance.
*(Note: by religious life I am referring to the distinction between Diocesan priesthood where by a priest serves in the local diocese, does not live in “community” as religious priests, brothers and sisters do, and does not take the three Evangelical Vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience – such as Divine Word Missionary priests and brothers, Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans, Redemptorists and countless others.).
