In this edition of the Messenger, I want to update you on a couple
ongoing features of planning in the parish. On the 12th of January, everyone was invited to attend a reporting meeting on the
work of the Committee for the Pastoral Region comprised of St.
Michael the Archangel and St. Gabriel the Archangel Parishes;
thanks to the 40 or so parishioners who attended. The central
message of that report was that, when the time comes that the two
parishes share one pastor, we will have the basic outline of a plan
for continuing our Vibrant Church life in the two parishes. At that
time, and depending on the availability of other priests to help celebrate Mass and the other Sacraments, some adjustments of the
weekend Mass schedule at the two parishes may be necessary – the
plan accounts for those. Because the two parishes will not be
merged, we will also look for other ways to cooperate and collaborate across our parish boundaries. Because the two schools will
not be merged, the two schools will maintain their current relationships with the two parishes.

From the Pen of the Pastor, continued
The report was on the “front page” of our parish
website for a few weeks; you can now find it on
the website by clicking on About Us ! Pastoral
Region. Thanks to Susan Bailey, Jim Konves,
Brenda Kuhr, Jason Sauer and Diana O’Hara, the
St. Michael representatives to the Pastoral Region
committee, for the commitment of their time and
talent to this important work. And don’t forget:
we need not only to pray for vocations, but to
encourage our young people to be open to a call
to ordained ministry as priests and deacons, to
consecrated religious life, and to lay ministry in
the Church.
Secondly, I want to thank the scores of parishioners who have been part of the conversation
about making our parish a Strong Catholic Family. Representatives from each group in the parish
listened to Dr. Sean Reynolds, Director of the
Archdiocesan Office for Youth and Young Adult
Ministry, at an initial meeting in September; everyone was invited to meet with Dr. Reynolds in
late October and early November; and the original group of representatives was called back for a
conversation about the significance of what we
heard from Dr. Reynolds – regarding the challenges that our American culture presents to the
faith in Catholic parishes.
P r ocess i onal Cr o sses
Altar servers pose with our three most recent
processional crosses. The newest cross, on the
left, was purchased with money donated by our
parish Altar Society. The Altar Society raises
money, primarily through their annual Craft and
Bake Sale, for the liturgical needs of the parish.
Thank you to the Altar Society for this gift to the
parish!

The Parish Pastoral Council is now helping me to
consider what all this might mean for the parish.
One way to understand this is what Pope Francis
often says: “Jesus wants followers, not admirers.”
What do we need to be doing here at St. Michael
Parish to grow followers, not just admirers of
Jesus, but followers willing to hand on and to invite others into the family of faith? I invite you
to consider what this means in your personal and
family life, as well as what it means for our parish. Let us pray that we will be open to what God
is dreaming for us.
Parishioners listen to Fr. Tom DiFolco explain the plan for the future.

Unde r s ta nding the Li turgy
by Brian Bisig, Director of Music & Worship
(Adapted from materials provided by Liturgical Training Publications)
December 4, 2013, marks the 50 th anniversary of
the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy, or Sacrosanctum Concilium in Latin. This
first of the teachings of the bishops of Vatican II
was devoted to our celebration of liturgy and
was approved by a remarkable vote of 2,147 to 4.
Our parish worship commission has been studying this teaching and will be sharing some of its
key insights throughout the coming year.
Fifty years later, it is perhaps difficult to appreciate the impact that this teaching had on our understanding of the liturgy, but it set in motion
the most far-reaching liturgical reform in Catholic history. In 1985, the Extraordinary Assembly
of the Synod of Bishops would look back and
reflect that “the liturgical renewal is the most
visible fruit of the whole work of the Council.”
Pope John Paul II, on the document’s twentyfifth anniversary, agreed: “For many people the
message of the Second Vatican Council has been
experienced principally through the liturgical reform.”
From its opening days in October of 1962, the
Second Vatican Council was prompted by the
two-fold desire for both ressourcement and aggiornamento. When understood in relationship with one
another, these two terms--in French and Italian,
respectively--serve to illuminate the underlying
spirit of Sacrosanctum Concilium.
Ressourcement, a French term meaning "a return to
the sources," identified the growing desire to revisit the early sources of our faith and liturgical
practice through a renewed focus on historical
theology. European theologians such as Karl Rahner, Yves Congar, and Joseph Ratzinger (now
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI) championed this
scholarly movement. In Sacrosanctum Concilium, the
desire for ressourcement was articulated through the
emphasis on "sound tradition," calling liturgists
and theologians to consider liturgical renewal
through the lens of early Church and biblical
sources.
The term aggiornamento, an Italian word meaning "a
bringing up to date," is most often associated with
Pope John XXIII and the convening of the Council itself. In his encyclical on the Church, Pope
Paul VI describes this term as "the guiding principle of the Ecumenical Council," stating that "it
should prove a stimulus to the Church to increase
its ever growing vitality" (Ecclesiam Suam, 50). In
Sacrosanctum Concilium, the desire for aggiornamento is
found in the Council's aim to "adapt more suitably
to the needs of our own times" (SC, 1).
When taken together, these two terms present a
vision of the Church as an institution that seeks to
continually invigorate the lives of the faithful
through liturgical reforms based on the rigorous
academic study of the sources at the heart of our
faith.
Va ti c an an d You
In an effort to greater understand the liturgy, we have been featuring weekly reflections on “The Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy” in our Sunday bulletin. The Worship Commission is also leading an
effort to engage parishioners in the discussion about the liturgy by using our new website and social
media tools. Stay tuned for more information!

A Bea con of Ho pe
by Sue Konves
Because of you, our generous parishioners, our St. Michael St. Vincent de Paul conference has been
able to serve clients in the Sharonville area for more than nine years. We have given hope to many
families, by providing help with rent, utilities, food, gas, clothing and furniture.
Along with the above mentioned services, we inform clients of organizations that provide job services, legal aid, medical help and budget counseling.
Clients seek our help because of lost jobs, illness, or significant medical bills. Generally they live
paycheck to paycheck. Often, they face eviction and homelessness, struggling to keep their children
fed.
Home visits can be shocking and eye opening. We have many in need in our own community. We
often walk into apartments with no furniture, or almost none. We see people sleeping on bare floors.
Families of 3 or 4 live in motels for months. Some of our clients struggle with mental illness.
We ask that our clients contribute what they can to help pay for their rent and or bills, and we will
pay the rest.
We pray with them, as we do before each of our meetings, reminding them of God’s presence in both
their lives and ours. As one of our members so eloquently stated: “My experience as a member of
SVDP has made me more aware of my neighbors in Sharonville. I see the face of Jesus in those we
serve and experience His love through the support of our generous parishioners. I have learned to
judge people less, realizing I have not walked in their shoes. I have grown in my faith and spiritual
life through this service and my shared experience with the other members. We all feel we receive
more than we give.” We often leave feeling more blessed than they, for the perseverance, love, gratitude, and humility they share with us.
Thank you for your support, generosity and kindness! We will continue to strive to be good stewards
as we share your donations to those in need. Please keep us and our clients in your prayers.
For more information, please contact Jan Deters at [email protected] or call (513) 769-0848.
Toy a nd Cl o thing S ale
Saturday, March 1, 8:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m.
Clean out your closets and sell your gently used toys and children’s summer clothing items! You price
your items and receive 60% of the profit; the rest goes to St. Michael PTO. If you are interested in

Note: Donated items that are not sold will go to St. Vincent de Paul after the sale.

1-4 A ll and All Fo r Fun
In the midst of our very snowy and cold winter, the St. Michael
Festival Committee is hard at work planning our annual summer
festival. This year’s theme is “1-4 All and All For Fun!”, and incorporates the idea of Strong Catholic Families. The festival will
be held on June 6, 7, and 8.
If you are interested in helping plan this year’s fun, please contact Festival Chair Craig Capell at [email protected].
Watch our plans develop by visiting the festival website
(www.stmichaelfestival.net), liking us on Facebook (St. Michael Summer Festival), and following
us on Twitter (#stmikefestival)! Also, please make sure you patronize our festival sponsors!
S t. Michael Se r ve s
Instead of “giving up” something in your life this Lent, how about “giving back”? St. Michael Community Outreach Commission and Mustangs Serve will be sponsoring a weekend of service for all
members of the parish who wish to volunteer. The activities will take place on March 21-23, 2014.
The projects listed below need volunteers both on-site at St. Michael and at off-site locations. Most
projects are open to all: young children, school-age kids, teens, adults, and seniors. Further information, including a more detailed explanation of each project, will be in the bulletin starting midFebruary. Sign-ups for specific projects will begin February 22.
March 21
• Princeton Closet – Clothes Sorting, Washing, Drying
March 22
• Ouch Buddies – Ronald McDonald House
• No Sew Tie Blankets – Project Linus
• Making Prayer Bouquets – Nursing Home Residents and Shut-ins
• Cottingham Retirement Community – Various activities such as bingo, chair volleyball, playing
board games, and fellowship with the residents are planned.
• St. Leo – Potential projects include sorting books for the library, helping organize food pantry,
minor building improvements, and cleaning
March 23
• St. Leo – Assist with Children’s Liturgy
As shown by the life and work of Pope Francis, we as Catholics are all given “a call to serve”. Please
consider giving your time and talents by offering help to those in need and comforting those who suffer. Contact Mary Heilers at 779-4626 or at [email protected] if you have any questions.

P ari sh S cho ol News
The 2013-2014 school year is flying by, and it is
hard to believe that it is already February!
We just celebrated Catholic Schools Week (CSW)
with an appreciation breakfast for our many
wonderful volunteers; a special lunch for our
hard-working teachers and staff; a faith presentation by motivational storyteller and juggler Tom
Sparough; and our Open House, where we welcomed prospective families to our school and
then celebrated our accomplishments with our
current school families. Unfortunately, the Catholic Schools Week Mass at the Cathedral of St.
Peter in Chains downtown was canceled because
of the extremely cold weather.
In keeping with the CSW theme of
“Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service”, on Monday, following a truly inspirational
opening prayer service, each grade participated in
a day of service to others and reflection. For example, our first and second graders made cheerful cards and heart puzzles for patients at Children’s Hospital. These will be delivered to the
children in the hospital along with a gently-used
book that our children are bringing to school.
The most far-reaching and impactful event, however, was our a school-wide Catholic Schools
Week-themed bingo tournament, where the 25
coins used by each student as bingo markers
were then donated to Heifer International.
Thanks to our generous students and families, we
collected $260, which allowed us to purchase one
goat, a flock of ducks, a flock of chicks, a flock
of geese, a colony of honey bees, and a Hope
Basket (a flock of chicks and some rabbits) for
villages who are living in poverty. Those donations will certainly help make positive changes in
the lives of people all over the world!
Our students are also making significant changes
in their own lives. Our second graders are currently preparing to make their First Eucharist in
May, and our eighth graders will be confirmed on
March 4. Please keep them, and all of the children in the parish, in your prayers as they receive
their sacraments.
St. Michael Parish School is now accepting registrations for the 2014-2015 school year. If your
friends or family are looking for a new school,
please invite them to visit us and see what we can
offer them!
St. Michael Parish School students listen to Fr. Tom DiFolco during the
prayer service on the first day of school.

T he Light is On Fo r Yo u
“The Light Is On for You” is an initiative of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to invite all Catholics to
experience the love and mercy of God through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is a wonderful opportunity to turn away from our sinfulness and to experience the grace of reconciliation with
God and with others in our lives. In the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, every parish will be celebrating
the Sacrament of Reconciliation by offering private confessions on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 from
7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Every parish church will have their doors open for you.
Parishes also have other scheduled times for private confession and communal penance services.
