FR. JERRY’S CORNER
[email protected]
This year marks the ten year anniversary of the annual “Seminarian Collection: Hope for the Future, Help them Today”.
This coming school year, the Diocese of Green Bay expects to spend nearly $1,000,000 for tuition, room and board, health insurance,
summer language, spiritual and pastoral programs, a small stipend, support of the Office of Vocations and all of its outreach efforts, and
other related costs. Seminarians are currently studying at the following seminaries: Immaculate Heart of Mary College Seminary,
Winona, Minnesota; St. John Vianney College Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota: Conception Seminary College, Conception, Missouri; St.
Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary, Mundelein, Illinois; St. Francis de Sales Seminary, Milwaukee, Wisconsin/Sacred Heart, Hales
Corners, Wisconsin; and North American College Seminary, Rome, Italy. Join me and all our brothers and sisters in our Diocese in supporting the seminarian collection, for they are our Hope for the Future so let us Help them Today!
We have SKD Parish T-Shirt available in the Parish office. On the front of the T-Shirt is written, “SKD Parish: Where Prayer,
Service & Sharing Come Together”, and on the back, “Joy, Eucharist, Scripture, Unity & Shepherd.” The cost is $7.00/T-Shirt (S, M,
L,XL), $9.00 XXL and $10.00 for XXXL. Make check payable to SKD. They are light blue with navy blue lettering. Come purchase your SKD Parish T-Shirt today before supplies run out.
As you may or may not have noticed out at St. Francis Site that we are in the process of removing asbestos from the old school,
newer part of school and the convent. Once the asbestos is removed we will begin demolition of the buildings. We will be using this
space for added parking.
The picnic committee met to review how things went this year, reviewed how things went in the past, and to see where we
would like to go into the future. A repeating theme seems to be the lack of volunteers, especially on Friday and Saturday. We looked at
keeping it the same, but we would still have the same problem. The committee agreed next year for our parish picnic we will be having a
one day picnic on Sunday, and see how this goes. If you have any suggestions feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Coming Soon: Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother” with Dr. Edward Sri and Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom with Jeff Cavins & Sarah Christmyer. Both are DVD series. Check our website www.skdchurch.org for further information.
“Disciples on the Way” is an invitation from Bishop Ricken to embark on a missionary journey into the new evangelization.
As a part of this journey, Bishop Ricken is asking each parish to schedule, once a month, a holy hour with the Blessed Sacrament. This
monthly holy hour would be an opportunity to pray for the intentions of your parish and of the diocese. Here at St. Katharine Drexel
Parish, we will be having our holy hour on the First Friday of each month from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM at St. Aloysius church. As we
deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ, as evangelizing “Disciples on the Way,” may we grow in our call to be holy, engaged and fully
alive. Our next holy hour will take place on Friday, September 4.
Peace,
Fr. Jerry

Scripture Supports Singing
Why we sing was highlighted last
week. This week scripture itself
inistry
references the use of singing. In
the second reading St. Paul tells
from Donna
the Ephesians to address one
[email protected]
another ‘in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and playing to the Lord in [our] hearts.”
St. Francis is purported to have said that “singing is praying
twice.” Singing has a way lifting our spirits and engaging us
with one another. It is one of the primary ways for the assembly
actively participates in the Liturgy. Almost everyone can sing.
Please join in.

sickness, and those suffering with mental illness and stress. Every
THIRD Friday of the month we have anointing for the sick. Please
leave an empty pew between the rows as you take your places so

Angels Explained By Children (continued)

Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!!
-Jack, 6
Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you
got dead.
-Daniel, 9
When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts
to ten. And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there's a
tornado.
-Reagan, 10
Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy. If you lose
a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves
money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go
south for the winter.
-Sara, 6
Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's
a very good carpenter.
