A word from Father Gerlach, pastor of Saints Simon and Jude Faith Community,
Greetings in Our Lord! It is our privilege to give glory and honor to God. We are grateful, as a believing

blessed us!

accomplishments to celebrate in yet another year of adventure in learning. The following highlights are the focus
for our daily growth:
Educating your child in the practice of our beautiful Catholic Faith
Instructing for successful academic results
Developing self-esteem & self-control in a positive Christian atmosphere
Developing a sense of belonging that lasts a life time
Celebrating the Sacraments, especially daily Mass and Reconciliation
Other church devotions including Adoration, Benediction, Advent Prayer Services and Stations of the Cross.
Structured and informal classroom prayer as a daily experience
Strengthening the bonds of family by parent and grandparent participation
Participation from family is an essential ingredient in the daily success of each
child. Your affirmation is gold. Our availability to meet and resolve the challenges
ahead of us stands side by side with your active participation. With several upgrades
to our school building and the pursuit of re-accreditation, our summer break has been
marked by a diligent effort by all to ready ourselves for another successful year. To

Welcome Deacon Ryan Salisbury
We are pleased to announce to the parish that Saint Charles Seminary has asked us to accept a
Transitional Deacon on staff as he responds to the call of the Holy Spirit. Ryan is in the closing year of
his journey toward priestly ordination in May 2015 for Lincoln, Nebraska. This weekend, Deacon Ryan
will begin his internship here at Saints Simon and Jude. The deacon will be here Thursdays, Saturday
and Sunday of most weeks. We look forward to his loving witness of Christ. Deacon Ryan will
exercise his ministry in regular rotation with our other Deacons baptizing, preaching, and visitation of
the sick.
Dear Parishioners, mindful of the powerful gift of your intercession, please remember Ryan as he
continues his journey, especially during our thanksgiving after Holy Communion and our recitation of
the Holy Rosary. May our Christian welcome become for Ryan another source of his spiritual formation
and nourishment. We are always mindful that faith strengthens faith.
Peace and all good,
Fr. Gerlach and Fr. Rossi
