Ask Anyone –
Free Tuition
Opportunity!
This year’s theme for the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s
school marketing campaign is
“Ask Anyone.” If you have a
student in St. Vivian School, do
you realize that you are our
best advertisement?
Don’t wait for a neighbor or a
friend to ask you about our
school, spread the word. Our
strongest source of positive
promotion is families whose
students currently attend
St. Vivian. Make it a point
to tell five people in your
neighborhood about the great
things happening at St. Vivian.
Tell them about our faith-based
curriculum that builds values for
a lifetime. Tell them about our
strong academics, our excellent
teachers and about our monthly
service projects.
To refer a new family to
St. Vivian directly, have them
call the school office at
522-6858. To refer a new family
to a Catholic school, access
www.valuesforalifetime.com.
Click on “Ask anyone” button
and enter your contact
information, as well as
information about the family
you are referring. This will
automatically enter you into a
drawing for free tuition for the
2006-2007 school year through
the Archdiocese.

Vibrations
In the Spotlight: Julie Borgerding
One of the blessings of God’s love for each of us is the talents and gifts he bestows upon us.
Our work is to discover what those are and use them to enrich the lives of others, as well as our
own. A great example of someone who is appreciating and sharing her talents with the world is
Julie Borgerding.
If you aren’t sure who Julie is, you’ll find her at every Mass, on the bench of either the piano or
the organ. This petite and pretty young woman is devoting her time and talent to spreading
God’s messages through music.
Julie is a lifelong St. Vivian parishioner. She lives with her parents, Amy and Bob, and younger
brother, Andy, in Springfield Township. She also has three cats, Dusty, Joe, and Jack (whose
namesake is Fr. Jack Fillipine, for he was found roaming the church grounds before Julie took
him in).
Julie attended St. Vivian School from kindergarten through eighth grade and graduated from
McAuley High School. She attended the University of Cincinnati as a Pre-Pharmacy major.
However, Julie’s passion and life’s work is playing the piano.
Pursuing Her Dream
After two years at UC, Julie knew she wasn’t pursuing her
dream of becoming a music director. So, with the love and
support of her family, she transferred to the College of
Mount St. Joseph where she is currently a senior, majoring
in religious and pastoral ministry and minoring in music
(piano). Julie credits her mentor, Tim McManus,
St. Vivian’s Director of Liturgy and Music, for helping her to
recognize and pursue her education and career goals.
While Julie devotes most of her waking hours at St. Vivian
as accompanist, or working alongside Tim in the Liturgy
and Music Office, Julie also can be found working at
Walgreen’s as a Pharmacy Technician. Once she
graduates from college in 2008, she hopes to find a position as a church music director.
Julie’s hobbies include, as you may have guessed, playing the piano, bowling, listening to music
and writing. She loves children and provides child care services to some lucky little ones!
Playing piano for the children’s masses on Wednesdays brings Julie great joy as she finds it
extremely rewarding to help them exercise their musical talents.
Playing the piano since the age of seven, Julie is pretty much the expert in that arena. However,
you can still find her practicing her improvisational skills in the church quite frequently. And
because playing the organ is new to her, she is taking lessons with former St. Vivian organist and
choir director, Matt Phelps.
When asked what hymns she liked best, Julie mentioned that “Gather Us In” was a special
favorite because it was the very first church song she ever learned to play, and the first she
played in Church as a member of the Music Ministry.
Playing for the choir is an honor for Julie. She says that there is a wonderful sense of family and

Celebrate St. Vivian
Scouting as a den leader and cub master, festival booth
chairman and through the boosters as an assistant basketball
coach. What made that service most rewarding was the joint
effort of everyone involved. I received so much from fellow
parishioners who shared those efforts and the rewards of seeing
the young people of our parish grow in wisdom and faith.
(Editor’s Note: A number of parishioners shared what St. Vivian means
to them this fall before the stewardship campaign began. We hope to
share some of them here.)
The theme of this year’s stewardship campaign is Celebrate St.
Vivian, and I have more reason to do that than most.
56 Years ago my parents moved to St.Vivians, and I was born a
few months later. I was baptized here, went to school here, and
brought my young bride here to start the married life we’ve
shared for the past 31 years. We raised our four sons here like
my parents raised the nine of us. I can’t condense all the
lessons I’ve learned from
members this parish over the past 55 years
into a few short minutes, so I’ll focus on the
message from today’s scripture:
Also in the 1990s I was elected to Parish Council. Among the
most memorable accomplishments of that group were the
St. Clare - St. Francis room and our parish mission statement, for
which I was asked to select the scripture passage and write the
original draft.
Right now I am most involved music ministry and CHRP. Music ministry and
working with these wonderful people has
been one of my deepest rewards, and it’s
been a real thrill to see the examples of
youthful service in young people. Over the
years so many parishioners have lead lives
of humble service to our benefit. Some
amazing examples are here today: Larry
and Evelyn Maag, Randy and Mary Kent
with FANS, Bob Massa with the Serra Club
and Father Ed Piggot, who has been
serving this parish by celebrating Sunday
liturgy with us longer than any other priest.
Have you noticed that everyone I mentioned seems to lead a
happy, fulfilled life?
The key to a happy life and eternal reward
is to lead a life of humble service.
My parents were the first role models of
that lesson for me. Those of you who have
worshipped here a long time know what I’m
talking about. My mother just celebrated
her 82nd birthday and still ministers
through the St. Vincent de Paul Society, at
Drake Hospital, Right to Life, Prison
Ministry and probably several other groups
I’m not aware of.
My next role models of humble service were our pastors, priests,
the Ursuline nuns and lay teachers who taught in our school. In
my grade school years I learned from the Prayer of St. Francis
that “it is in giving that we receive.” And since my father named
me James after the author of the Letter of James, I always paid
careful attention whenever I heard excerpts of it read at Mass.
The main message is that faith alone will not save you, it takes
good works.
But I’m sure most of you will agree that the quintessential humble servant was Father Jack Fillipine. For 17 years we were
blest with the presence of this sainted man. Here’s just one simple example of his humility: One Sunday morning about eight
years ago I arrived at 7:30 for our rehearsal for 8:15 Mass.
Father Jack was out front on the sidewalk by Winton Road
picking up litter and praying silently to himself as he did.
He was an inspiration to us all, and the four parishioners who I
think most continue in his example of humble service are John
and Patty Hadden and Joe and Barb Meyer. They are the bread
that feeds CRHP, the Spiritual Life Committee, Food Coalition
Sunday, the Fifth Sunday Contemporary Mass and so many
other efforts in this parish. Ladies and gentlemen, they need
help.
In 1978 Father Whalen further clarified that message to me when
I attended my first Christ Renews His Parish weekend. He said
that when it comes to spirituality and a life of service, the more
you give the more you get. On the very next CRHP weekend I
was able to reiterate that message to a new group of men who
attended, including Al Humbert, my brother Joe and my Dad.
That was a turning point in my life, and I really began to listen to
God’s calls.
And the best way I can think of to help them and celebrate St.
Vivian and the legacy of everyone who has served us through
the years is to pay it forward by leading a life of humble service
and live our parish mission statement in the words of our Savior:
“Love one another as I have loved you.”
God’s Calls Come From Others
I found out those calls most often came through others. Bill
Michel asked me to become a lector, and for the next 20 years I
learned the joy of sharing the word of God with you from this
lectern.
In the 1980s and ‘90s, as a result of my sons, those calls
brought me to service on the Education Commission, in Cub

fellowship present whenever the members of the Music Ministry are together. Each member’s individual talent and contribution
blends beautifully to create the music that enriches any Mass you choose to attend.
“I would like to thank all of the parishioners of St. Vivian for all they do to make St. Vivian such a wonderful place”, says Julie. “I am
so very lucky to be able to share my talents and my faith with each and every one of you. May God continue to bless each of you all
the days of your lives.”
Take a moment to introduce yourself to Julie Borgerding. Let’s be grateful to God Julie devotes herself to enriching our church and
our lives with the glorious music she and her Music Ministry family makes!
~Debbie Norman
Julie invites anyone who may be interested in joining the Music Ministry to give it special consideration.
The Music Ministry is always looking for new members in the ensembles and especially the choir.
If you want to know more about the Music Ministry, feel free to speak to Julie.
Her enthusiasm for it is contagious!
St. Vivian's Looks at Twinning
About 25 people attended a meeting in December about the possibility of twinning with a parish in some other part of the
country or world. Dr. Mike Gable from the Archdiocesan Mission Office gave a very interesting presentation. He reminded us that
“catholic” means “universal.” We belong to a universal church that transcends boundaries. We should see the face of Christ in all
people. We really belong to a global parish that covers everyone in the world.
Twinning is one way that parishes can be in solidarity with others. God was the first to join our world in solidarity by sending his Son
to bring us redemption. Solidarity means standing solid with each other.
Mike stressed that twinning is not a paternal relationship. We will give and receive. The relationship is experiential and mutual. We
may be able to help others materially but they may be able to help us spiritually. We could share cultures, prayers and ideas and
learn from each other.
We were surprised to learn that 50 parishes in our archdiocese already twin with another parish in our country or other parts of the
world. That is more than any other diocese in the country!
Pat Youngblood visited the New Orleans area a few months ago and was shocked by the devastation that still exists there. She
brought the idea of twinning with a New Orleans parish to Parish Pastoral Council. The Council agreed to look into the possibility.
The result was the meeting in December.
Does this sound like something St. Vivian should do? If you are interested in learning more, call Pat Youngblood at 305-7095 or
Sue Lennert at 772-7731.
We will also learn about reaching out and becoming a more "Catholic/universal parish" at a series of educational meetings planned
for Lent. Mike Gable will be here to lead those discussions.
What Does Twinning Mean?
~Sue Lennert
“Laissez les bon temps rouler,” or “let the good times roll,” is a phrase often associated with New Orleans. The phrase conveys anticipation for
something great that is about to come. It also implies an eagerness to be a part of that great something and to celebrate it. When Fr. Paul first
mentioned the possibility of St. Vivian forming a partnership with a parish in New Orleans, this phrase summed up my enthusiasm: Let the good
times roll!
I’m not saying that I think a partnership in New Orleans is going to be all good times and Mardi-Gras beads. On the contrary, I know it will involve
a lot of hard work, planning, and commitment. But I’ve participated in the parish twinning process before and have witnessed its positive effects.
As a former missionary in Haiti, I have a unique perspective on parish twinning. I have experienced twinning from the receiver’s side and I know
that when volunteers from American parishes came to Haiti, they brought much more than donations and service.
Benefits of Twinning
For me, the most precious gift that the volunteers carried with them was a connection to home and the knowledge that there were people far away
(continued on page 4)

(continued from page 3)
in the United States who cared about the poor of Haiti. Even if only a handful of volunteers came to visit us, we knew that there were whole
parishes holding fundraisers, collecting second-hand clothing, and writing letters to Congress on Haiti’s behalf. Parish twinning meant that we
were not forgotten.
Another gift that parish twinning volunteers brought was renewed vision. This may sound terrible, but after being surrounded by poverty, hunger
and disease for long enough, it all started to seem normal, even acceptable. The shocked responses of our visiting Americans to the realities of
Haiti served to reignite our mission against abject poverty, chronic hunger and untreated disease. Parish twinning meant that in a place where
despair abounds, hope was renewed.
As for the American volunteers, I know that they always went home feeling like they had received more than they had given. While visiting the
poverty stricken country they witnessed countless acts of courage, sacrifice, faith and community. Some went home surprised to realize how easy
it is to communicate with others through laughter and hugs or smiles and tears, even when you don’t speak the same language. Others made the
profound discovery that the less your life is filled with clutter, the more clearly you can see Christ walking beside you. Some found that true hospitality means owning next to nothing, but still graciously welcoming a group of foreigners into your home for coffee and conversation. All of the volunteers left Haiti with the joyful burden of having encountered Christ among God’s poor.
New Orleans, of course, is a lot different than Haiti. A partnership between St. Vivian and a parish in New Orleans promises a whole new set of
gifts and rewards. But if starting a twinning relationship means that St. Vivian can bring hope to people who have experienced countless setbacks
trying to rebuild their homes and city; if it means showing by our own actions and commitment that the poor of New Orleans have not been forgotten; if it means deepening my spirituality and learning from others, then sign me up and let the good times roll!

It’s a Small World in Life and Love
Sixty years ago, on Feb. 15, 1947, two couples got married at 10 a.m. in New York. Eileen and Bob were married in
Scarsdale and Muriel and Ed were married in Bellair, 50 miles away. Both couples went to Washington, DC, on their
honeymoon. Eileen and Bob Davis moved to Cincinnati right away. Muriel and Ed Knight remained in New York.
In 1961 the two couples met at a Holy Cross
College alumni dinner. Bob and Ed both graduated
from Holy Cross in Worchester, Mass., but were not
there at the same time. They found out they had
many things in common: Not only did they share
the same anniversary, but they both now lived in
Cincinnati and belonged to St. Vivian’s Church and
their two oldest children were in the same class.
Muriel and Ed were building a home in the Nieman
Nursery area, just four blocks from where Ed and
Eileen lived.
The couples celebrated their 15th anniversary
together and continued the ritual for the next
10 years. The Knights had made three moves – to
Eileen and Ed Knight enjoying St. Patrick’s Day
California, Chicago and New York -- but each
anniversary they managed to celebrate together. After their 25th anniversary Bob died of cancer. Shortly after that the
Knights moved back to Cincinnati. Eileen had been teaching at St. Vivian’s since 1961 and both couples had made many
good friends in the parish. After Bob’s death, they continued to include Eileen in all the parties and outings.
In 1988 Muriel died of cancer and Eileen and Ed mourned for her. They still got together on their anniversary and drank a
toast to Bob and Muriel. In 1992, after four years of dating, Eileen and Ed got married. Their combined families of seven
children and 14 grandchildren all participated in the wedding ceremony. Eileen’s two sons walked her down the aisle.
One daughter was the matron of honor, the other did a reading. Ed’s son was his best man and one daughter did a
reading and the other carried the gifts in the offertory. All the grandchildren brought up roses in the procession.
On Feb., 15, 2007, Eileen and Ed will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, but not to each other. On Sept. 18
the Knights will celebrate their 15th anniversary to each other.

Prepare Affair:
Leave No Leaf Behind
Kids In Church
3-year-old Reese: "Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name. Amen."
On Saturday, November 11, St. Vivian participated in its first
Prepare Affair, an event in which volunteers help low-income elderly
homeowners by cleaning gutters and raking leaves to prepare
homes for winter.
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make
me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real
good time like I am."
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the
boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a
Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."
While I believe Prepare Affair is a great way to volunteer as a family
and help neighbors in need, I have to admit, the weather could not
have been worse. That morning the sky had burst open with a
heavy downpour and the temperature hovered around 40 degrees.
The leaves were so wet our leaf blowers and mulching lawn mowers
were useless. We raked and bagged leaves by hand in the cold
rain. Within 30 minutes we were all soaking wet and muddy.
One particular four-year-old prayed, forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
As I was cursing the weather and scooping up another armful of wet
leaves, Mia Lee, a fellow St. Vivian parishioner, raked some leaves
into my pile and said cheerfully, “I’m just so glad.” I confess, my
first thought was, “What the *@!? are you talking about?” “I’m just
so glad that I don’t need this service myself,” she explained.
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were
on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be
quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people
are sleeping."
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the
Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime. She would repeat
after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go
solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word,
right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation,"
she prayed, "but deliver us from E-mail.
She was right. The woman whose leaves we were raking had spent
the morning in dialysis. I don’t know what dialysis is like, but I know
I’d rather rake leaves in the cold and the rain than sit in the hospital
for any kind of procedure.
I had shown up that morning determined to get a lot of work done,
so the rain was a huge inconvenience. But I had completely
forgotten to focus on the people we were helping.
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother, Joel, were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud.
Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to
talk out loud in church." “Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel
asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, “See
those two men standing by the door? They're the hushers."
Working Cooperatively To Help People
Those people were assigned to us by People Working Cooperatively
(PWC), a nonprofit agency that assists at-risk homeowners of
Greater Cincinnati with critical home repairs, home weatherization
and maintenance services so that they can remain in their homes,
living independently in a safe and sound environment. PWC’s
clients have an average income of $13,000 annually and often must
chose between food, medication and utilities, leaving critical home
repairs neglected - sometimes for years.
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and
Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first
pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have
the first pancake, I can wait. Kevin turned to his younger brother
and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"
The rain and cold weather that I faced that day were of small
importance compared to the health problems and financial worries
of the homeowners whom we helped. The rain slowed to a drizzle
and eventually stopped. We cleaned seven yards and filled 88 bags
of leaves, but most importantly, for seven local families, we made
the struggle of home maintenance a little easier.
A father was at the beach with his children when the four-yearold son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the
shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what
happened to him?" the son asked. "He died and went to
Heaven," the Dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then
said, "Did God throw him back down?"
I want to thank Dave Lennert; John, Patty, and Tyler Hadden; Ed,
Kim, Mike, Chris, and Rachel Neltner; Amy Lucas; Greg Hogg;
Karen Rutz; Mia Lee; and Daniel McMakin for their generous hard
work. I also want to thank Gold Star Chili on Winton Road for
donating half-priced cheese coneys to a bunch of dirty, hungry
volunteers.
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to
their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the
blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
"Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
Prepare Affair is held annually on the second Saturday in
November. Watch for further announcements if you would like to
participate next year.
