Half and Half
Congratulaons to Bishop Walter
Hurley as he celebrates his 50th
anniversary as a priest!
Bishop Walter A. Hurley was born
on May 30, 1937 in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada. He moved to Detroit,
Michigan in 1955. He graduated from
Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit, in 1961
(B.A.) and St. John’s Seminary in
Plymouth, Michigan, in 1965 (M.Div.).
Following his ordinaon to the
priesthood June 5, 1965 by Archbishop
(later Cardinal) John F. Dearden, he was
assigned as associate pastor of St.
Dorothy Parish, Warren. He later pastored
St. Cyprian’s in Riverview, Sacred Heart in
Roseville and St. Lucy Parish in St. Clair
Shores.
At the invitaon of Archbishop
(later Cardinal) Edmund Szoka, he began
graduate studies at the Catholic University
of America in Washington, D.C. earning a
license in canon law (J.C.L) in 1984. Upon
returning to Detroit, he served as judicial
vicar of the Metropolitan Tribunal from
1984 to 1989. In addion, he served as
moderator of the curia for the
archdiocese. In 1990, he was designated a
prelate of honor with the tle of
monsignor by His Holiness Pope John Paul
II. In 1994, he became a member of the
Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher.
In 1990, Bishop Hurley was appointed
pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish,
Farmington, where he served unl
November 2003. He also served as
delegate of the cardinal for clergy
misconduct issues. He was the cardinal’s
delegate and project manager for the
construcon of the Pope John Paul II
Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.
Bishop Hurley was ordained the
22nd auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese
of Detroit on August 12, 2003. Pope
Benedict XVI appointed him bishop of
Grand Rapids on June 21, 2005 and was
installed as the eleventh bishop of the
Diocese on August 4 at the Cathedral of
Saint Andrew. He accomplished much in
Grand Rapids, including the the
development and construcon of
Cathedral Square, the 11.5-acre campus in
Grand Rapids which brings together all
diocesan services, along with Catholic
Charies West Michigan, into one facility.
During Bishop Hurley’s nearly eight yearlong appointment as bishop of Grand
Rapids, the diocese also saw increasing
success in its priestly vocaons program.
As required by canon law, Bishop
Hurley submiDed his leDer of resignaon
to Pope Benedict on the occasion of his
75th birthday in May 2012. On April 18,
2013, Pope Francis appointed David
Walkowiak, a priest of the Diocese of
Cleveland, Ohio, to succeed Bishop Hurley.
We are very blessed to have
Bishop Hurley as our “weekend assistant”
here at Star of the Sea. We wish him
many more years of priestly ministry as he
celebrates this great milestone!!
** The school year is coming to a close
this week here at Star. That usually
means things slow down a bit around
here, which is a good thing. It has been a
very busy year, especially the past couple
of weeks. It has been two years since I
went out west to Boise to visit one of my
brothers. With a newly ordained priest
hanging around here waing for his
assignment to begin, I figure this is a
perfect me to get away a bit and let him
fill in while I am gone!! (It will be “good
pracce” for him.)
** Thanks for your parcipaon in the
Catholic Services Appeal. Without the
funding of these ministries and programs,
the ministry of Christ would be lessened.
With everyone’s help, we will be able to
meet our target of $204,000 very soon.
Blessings on your week,
Msgr. Gary Smetanka
From the Deacon’s Desk
Today’s second reading on this
Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ
(Hebrews 9:11-15) reminds us that Jesus
is our High Priest, our Mediator, Whose
death freed us from the death of sin and
Whose intercession before the Father
unites us in the life of the Holy Trinity.
In Bapsm, we are anointed with
the oil of chrism to share the mission of
Jesus as Priest, Prophet and King. The
word “prophet” essenally means to
“proclaim”, and we’re called to proclaim
the Gospel in the way in which we live.
One aspect of sharing the Kingship of
Jesus is that we have royal dignity as children of God and should recognize the
royal dignity of each person.
“Priest” inially was not a Chrisan or Hebrew word; it was a pagan
word. A priest is someone who offers
sacrifice. When ministerial priests such
as Msgr. Gary offer the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass, we are not mere spectators.
By virtue of our Bapsm, we all are united with Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice on
the Cross and rejoice in His Resurrecon.
We also exercise our priesthood
outside the Mass. Sacrifice in this sense
does not mean giving up something. Rather, we offer sacrifice by giving of ourselves in service to our families, neighbors, co-workers, anyone in need. Consider the love shared by a husband and
wife, a parent feeding a child or changing
a messy diaper, or someone taking me
to serve at a soup kitchen, or a person
going out of the way to give someone
having a tough day a pat on the back.
The opportunies to exercise priesthood
are endless.
We give thanks to Jesus our High
Priest and ask that we always be united
with Him in giving ourselves to others,
just as He has given Himself to us, especially in the Mass and His Body and Blood.
Have a blessed week.
In Christ’s Peace,
Deacon Bill

RJK - Mouse or Lion
“Stress” (as considered in this
arcle) is the converging of the forces of
a surrounding environment upon an individual. Distress is the negave reacon of
that individual to such forces. Stress,
properly handled, can develop strength.
Faced with a stressful situaon,
both body and mind are put on sudden
alert. Adrenalin begins to flow and the
judgement must be made to “fight or
flight”; whether to handle the maDer by
standing ones ground or to flee from the
problem presented. How well or how
poorly one decides depends upon the
training and experience of the individual.
Basic to a person’s decision is an
appraisal of the nature of the perceived
danger. Can it be handled or is it unmanageable? Faced with a wild animal, one
should demote the situaon if a mouse is
involved but head for cover if it is a lion.
There is no sense in pole-vaulng over a
mouse but any effecve means of avoiding the lion should be taken. Experience
also has much to do with the choice. Being cast into a lion’s cage would be the
worst of all worlds for most of us, but for
a lion trainer, the maDer is roune (but it
was not always so for him).
Whether in the physical or spiritual order, we are well advised to prepare ourselves in our judgement. We
should disnguish a mouse issue from a
lion one. If every stress is perceived to be
a lion, the result can be breakdown. Preparatory training can preclude physical
harm and prayerful reliance on God will
dispel despair. In the last analysis, the
ulmate in stress is the possibility that
heaven may be lost. May in our prayers
for God’s help and mercy may we find
our way.
See you in church.

st
(first published May 31 , 1981)
Barnabas is menoned several mes in the Acts of the Apostles.
Most of the references are in connecon with St. Paul whom he accompanied on a number of missions to spread the Good News.
Although St. Paul leP his leDers and is more widely known, the story
of Barnabas is quite interesng. On June 11, the Church celebrates the feast
of St. Barnabas, a great evangelizer in the early years of the Church.
He is honored by the Church like one of the twelve apostles, as is St.
Paul, even though neither was one of them.
Barnabas was born on the Island of Cyprus and was a Jew. He spoke
Greek. He later lived in Jerusalem and owned property in that area.
Soon aPer Christ’s death, Barnabas became a Chrisan and was a
member of the original Jerusalem community of believers.
It is recorded that Barnabas shared his resources with the community when he “sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the
money and put it at the feet of the apostles”. (Acts 4:37)
Barnabas was good with people, especially in dealing with difficult
situaons. He was instrumental in Paul becoming accepted by the disciples
in Jerusalem. When Paul went there aPer his conversion, the disciples didn’t
want anything to do with him. They didn’t trust him because of his history of persecung Chrisans.
It was Barnabas who “took charge of him and brought him to the apostles, and
he reported to them how on the way he had seen the Lord and that he had spoken to
him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus”. (Acts 9:27)
Actually, Barnabas was a name the apostles gave him. His given name was
Joseph. The name Barnabas means “son of encouragement”. It was customary to give
names indicang something in which the individual excelled.
Barnabas demonstrated many skills and qualies consistent with the
“encouragement” moniker. This, combined with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, made
him a wonderful evangelizer.
Evangelizers really do need to be good encouragers. This happens when we
share with others in a humble manner.
We can share with others:
• God’s influence in our life
• Our feelings about their situaon
• Experiences we or others have had
• Our me and resources
• Potenal sources of help
We share in a humble manner when we:
• Involve the Holy Spirit
• Listen carefully
• See their side or point of view
• Avoid being preachy
• Build their confidence
“Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you
do.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
One in the Spirit,

Camino de Santiago
On Monday morning, Fr. Tim Birney (Director of Priestly
Vocaons), another priest, two seminarians, 20 guys discerning the
priesthood and myself will be heading to Spain for two weeks. We are
going to make the ancient pilgrimage along the Camino de Sanago (the
Way of St. James). For centuries, Chrisans from around the world have
been taking this famous route to venerate the relics of St. James the
Greater. Tradion claims that St. James preached the Gospel in Spain
before he was martyred in Jerusalem. His remains were then returned to
Spain to their current locaon in Sanago de Compostela. While there are
various “caminos” that lead the magnificent cathedral of St. James, the
most popular route, which begins in France, is 500 miles long. We will only
be walking 165 miles of this route and we will be starng in the Spanish
city of Astorga. To put the journey in perspecve, 165 miles is roughly
equivalent to the walking distance between Detroit and West Branch
which is a two and a half hour car ride. As we baDle the Spanish sun and
try to avoid blisters, our daily walking distance will vary between 11 to 19
miles.
The main purpose of the trip is to go on a spiritual pilgrimage. For
the guys who are discerning the priesthood, the pilgrimage is an
opportunity to spend me away from daily distracons and focus
exclusively on their relaonship with the Lord. In spending me with Him,
they will hopefully be able to know their vocaon more clearly. If it is
God’s will, maybe some of these men may be given the desire to enter
seminary and study for the priesthood. Please pray for these young men
that they may be open and docile to the Holy Spirit. Also, please pray that
we all have a safe journey with as few blisters as possible!
I will try and send in updates to be added to the bullen along
the way. This me next week, if all goes according to plan, I will have
already walked 48 miles. Here is an ancient prayer for pilgrims on the
Camino.
Thank You
Thank you to Msgr. Gary, Brian Foos, Debby Veltri and
the enre Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish community
for the wonderful and amazing recepon following Fr.
Brian Meldrum’s Mass of Thanksgiving on May 31st.
From the Prayer from St. Francis of Assisi, “For it is in
giving that we receive”, Fri Brian has given much of his
me and talents and ministry to Our Lady Star of the
Sea Parish. In doing so, Fr. Brian has received back 100
fold in prayers, support and love from parishioners of
Our Lady Star of the Sea. Than you for making Fr.
Brian’s Mass a joyous celebraon to our Lord. May
God connue to bless Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish.

O God, You who took up your servant Abraham from the city of Ur
of the Chaldeans, watching over him in all his wanderings.
You who were the guide of the Hebrew people in the desert, we
ask that You deign to take care of these your servants who, for
love of your name, make a pilgrimage to Compostela.
Be a companion for them along the path, a guide at crossroads,
strength in their weariness, defense before dangers, shelter on the
way, shade against the heat, light in the darkness, a comforter in
their discouragements, and firmness in their intenons, in order
that, through your guidance, they might arrive unscathed at the
end of their journey and, enriched with graces and virtues, they
might return safely to their homes, which now lament their
absence, filled with salutary and lasng joy. Through Jesus Christ
Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
