FROM THE DESK OF FR. BURGOON:
Below is the letter that was sent home to the school parents:
April 23, 2014
Dear Parents,
In last week’s parish bulletin, I shared with you the challenges facing our parish school which we have been
blessed to have had for 49 years. I mentioned in that article that Archbishop Carlson would be making a final
decision regarding the future of our school. I am writing to you today to inform you that I have received the
Archbishop’s letter.
In his letter, the Archbishop recognized the fact that the parishioners of St Richard have worked very hard to
maintain a quality Catholic school in light of declining enrollment and increasing costs. He understands that
the parish has been very generous in providing additional funds to allow the school to continue for the last few
years and he also understands that the parish cannot continue to fund the school’s shortfall without seriously
depleting its reserves and thereby jeopardizing the future viability of the parish. The Archbishop writes that in
light of the low number of students currently registered and the current amount of financial reserves in the parish, he does not know how the school can remain open for another year. As a result, St Richard School will
close at the end of the current school year and families will be allowed to attend a Catholic school of their
choice.
The Archbishop expressed his feelings that such a decision is difficult for a parish to face. He writes:
“I am well aware how painful this decision is going to be for your community,
and I congratulate everyone who has worked so hard to maintain the school
through a whole variety of activities. The principal and faculty have served well,
the parents are vey dedicated, and I know the parish has been as generous as possible.”
I am sorry to have had to communicate this decision to you just before the celebration of Easter. However, I
am aware that many of you have been waiting to make a decision about a school for the 2014-15 school year.
I thought it best to communicate this decision as soon as I was able.
The Archbishop has asked the Catholic Education Center to assist the faculty and parents in the transition
process over the next several months. Miss Smith and I will do all that we can to assist you in finding a new
school that will meet your needs. In addition, our focus will be to insure that the remainder of this school year
goes as planned. On a final note, if a family had registered to attend St Richard School for the next school
year and paid their registration fee, this fee will be fully refunded.
Let us ask our risen Lord’s Blessings on our students, families, and teachers as we conclude this year.
Sincerely,
Rev. Charles Burgoon
Pastor

Baby Bottle Campaign
Kent Pollman Deacon Ordination
The baby bottle campaign has ended. As of the
week of Apr 13, the campaign raised over
$5,400.
Seminarian Kent, was assigned to our parish last
fall. He has recovered from cancer and continues
to work toward ordination as a priest!
This generosity shows the strong pro-life support at St. Richard and is very encouraging for
the future of the movement.
St Richard Parishioners are invited to Kent’s
Transitional Deacon Ordination Ceremony
May 3rd - 10am - Cathedral Basilica
Thanks to all who made the campaign a success;
the very generous parishioners, the parish
school children who stuffed the bottles, the
Knights of Columbus who handed out bottles.
Special thanks to Doug Meadows and the
pro-life committee.
Still have a baby bottle?
Please return bottles (filled or empty) to the
church or office as we must pay for any
unreturned bottles.
This is the last step before priestly ordination.

PROJECT RACHEL RETREAT - HEALING A BROKEN HEART
SATURDAY, MAY 10th
This is an excellent opportunity for the post abortive woman who is just starting the journey to forgiveness and healing or for someone who is already walking that path to access more deeply the mercy and
hope that Jesus offers his beloved daughters.
The retreat will be held in a home-like setting for a time of prayerful reflection. Mass and Penance will
be available. The cost is $30 which includes meals but no one will be turned away because of inability to
pay.
Contact: Marisol at 792-7451 or [email protected].
All information, including the location of the retreat will be kept strictly confidential!
First Friday Eucharistic Adoration May 2nd & 3rd
"Do not look for other excuses. Try it, and find out by your own experience. Do not wait until
tomorrow. Today, go and spend a few moments with Jesus, whether He is within the tabernacle
or exposed in the monstrance. Let your weary and wounded heart be penetrated by the peaceful
atmosphere of the sanctuary and your soul be bathed in the light streaming forth from the
Eucharistic Sun. And, tomorrow, I am sure, you will return." ~Jose Guadalupe Trevino, The Holy
Eucharist
Come, rest in the presence of the source of our Easter joy! First Friday Eucharistic Adoration will be held in church this Friday, May 2nd, following the 8:15am Mass and will continue until 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning. Spiritual reading is available for use during adoration. Dropins are encouraged! After 2pm, please use the side church door facing the upper parking lot. Thank you.

Four families will earn $100 in gift cards for their favorite store or restaurant when increasing their
participation in weekly GCP purchases. How is this possible? We have a donation of $400 that will be
used to reward four families who participate in GCP to help St Richard Parish.
Here are the giveaway parameters:
Purchases are recorded by ordering family. The contest will start with orders placed on or after March
3rd and end with orders placed after 11am Mass on April 13th.
For every $400 in GCP orders during this time period, your family name will be entered into the
drawing (i.e. if you spend $1,275 during the contest period, your name will be entered three times for
the contest). Four different family names will be pulled from all of the entries during the six week time
period.
The more you buy, the better your chances of winning a prize!
GCP has a variety of restaurants and specialty stores to choose from. Buy cards to use for your Easter
outfits, decorations and meals. Buy travel cards (hotels, gas, restaurants) for your spring break
vacation. Check out the listing of cards available to order after Mass.
Results will be announced May 4th in the parish bulletin.
All GCP orders are currently tracked by ordering family – be sure to include both your first and last
name on your ordering form. The names will be selected from the basket of all family names.
This giveaway has no change to school family contributions. Please continue to denote the purchasing family as is your
normal practice. If you “assign” your purchase to a school family, that should be noted separately as you have always
done in the past. The ordering family name will prevail for the contest.
If you have questions, please call Julia Stagner at 314-324-6604 or Tony Meluso at 314-705-2547.
