FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP

Last Weekend’s Regular Collection

Rochester - $2,640

Monterey - $784

Kewanna - $182

From Father Mike

As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our diocese, I recently saw a copy of a

book of the history of the Diocese of Fort Wayne published in 1907. In that year, St.

Anne in Monterey had 68 families and 412 persons, St. Ann in Kewanna had 37

families and 300 persons, and St. Joseph in Rochester had 6 families and 25

persons. St. Joseph was still so small that there was only a monthly Mass offered on

a weekday by a priest from Monterey. Currently there are 58 families and 140

persons at Monterey, 18 families and 42 persons at Kewanna, and 204 families

and 467 persons at Rochester. It is interesting to note the decrease in family size in

the past 110 years, from 6.1 to 2.4 persons per family in Monterey, 8.1 to 2.3 in

Kewanna, and 4.1 to 2.3 in Rochester. This reflects a gradual change in which the

household units in our parishes have moved from being predominately younger

families with many children to a majority being older couples whose children

have grown up and moved away. This demographic shift is part of why the

Uniting in Heart Pastoral Plan is helping us find better ways to support all of our

current families, especially those raising our next generation of Catholics, and to

reach out and engage those in our wider community. The latter group is

important to include because not only all persons deserve to know Jesus and the

power of his resurrection, but it is the vision throughout the scriptures that all

persons be gathered into God’s Kingdom. As Isaiah states in today’s first reading,

“They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations…to Jerusalem, my

holy mountain, says the LORD.”

Del Padre Miguel

Mientras celebramos el 75 aniversario de nuestra diócesis, recientemente vi una

copia de un libro de historia de la Diócesis de Fort Wayne publicado en 1907. En

ese año, Santa Ana en Monterey tenía 68 familias y 412 personas, Santa Ana en

Kewanna tenía 37 familias y 300 personas, y San José en Rochester tenía 6

familias y 25 personas. San José todavía era tan pequeño que solo había una

misa mensual ofrecida en un día laborable por un sacerdote de Monterrey.

Actualmente hay 58 familias y 140 personas en Monterey, 18 familias y 42

personas en Kewanna, y 204 familias y 467 personas en Rochester. Es interesante

observar la disminución en el tamaño de la familia en los últimos 110 años, de 6.1

a 2.4 personas por familia en Monterey, 8.1 a 2.3 en Kewanna y 4.1 a 2.3 en

Rochester. Esto refleja un cambio gradual en el que las unidades domésticas en

nuestras parroquias han pasado de ser predominantemente familias más jóvenes

con muchos hijos a ser mayoritariamente parejas mayores cuyos hijos han

crecido y se han mudado. Este cambio demográfico es parte de por qué el Plan

Pastoral de Unidos en el Corazón nos está ayudando a encontrar mejores formas

de apoyar a todas nuestras familias actuales, especialmente a aquellas que

crían a nuestra próxima generación de católicos, y a alcanzar y comprometer a

aquellos en nuestra comunidad en general. Es importante incluir el último grupo

porque no solo todas las personas merecen conocer a Jesús y el poder de su

resurrección, sino que es la visión a través de las Escrituras que todas las personas

se reúnan en el Reino de Dios. Como dice Isaías en la primera lectura de hoy,

“Esto dice el Señor: ‘…traerán, de todos los países, como ofrenda al Señor, a los

hermanos de ustedes…hasta mi monte santo de Jerusalén.’”
