From Your Pastor
Rev. Paul C. Burak
I am sure many of you have heard the statement: time flies when you are having
fun.
This weekend, Jesús will be preaching at all the Masses, offering his
observations of the parish and giving us his farewell. He will also be preaching
the Word.
I am just amazed that this semester has come to an end. It seems like just
yesterday that Jesús moved into our rectory and began to meet all of you on the
weekend and the staff members during the week.
Jesús has thrown himself into all varieties of ministry here at St. Mike parish,
and has been very well received. He has entered the heart of many, challenged
us to a deeper faith walk, and tried to show us what holiness looks like.
When Jesús first came, he asked us to pray for all priests that they will be holy
priests. This is his theme, and it has been an honor to have him living in our
rectory.
Jesús, thank you for sharing your life with us. It has been a delight to get to
know you, to serve with you, and to see this parish through your eyes. From
what I see through you, Saint Mike is alive and well. We are not perfect and
certainly not without sin. But we are a community of faith trying our best
to serve the Lord. Thank you for being part of our journey. Please know
we will keep you in our heart as you continue on the road to priesthood.
I know now why time flies – it has been fun to have you part of us.
PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE – YOU ARE
ALWAYS WELCOME HOME.
-Fr. Paul

Taking the Sunday
Scriptures Home
In today’s gospel we
hear the story of the vine
and branches. God the
Father is the vinegrower,
Jesus is the true vine and we are the branches that grow
on the nourishment we receive from the vine. If you are
a gardener, you know that just being a branch on a vine
does not ensure that the branch will bear fruit.
Sometimes, even though the vine is healthy, there may
be a branch or two that breaks in a storm, withers and
dies. Or, there may be branches that are attacked by
outside forces like insects or fungus. They become
diseased and must use all their energy to fight off the
intruder, leaving little energy to produce fruit.
Sometimes a gardener will apply a topical remedy to get
rid of insects or the fungus. Sometimes a systemic
remedy is needed to root out the problem from the
inside of the plant. If the vine is healthy, the branches
can sometimes be saved by aggressive treatment of the
problem. If the branch remains on the healthy vine, it
can bounce back and flourish, producing fruit. If the
branch separates from the vine completely (such as the
case with a branch that breaks off) it withers and dies
and no fruit is produced.



Jesus is the healthy vine. What is threatening my
relationship to him? What storms in my life threaten
to sever me from life giving attachment to him?
What recent “intruders” in my life have caused me
to use my energy in non-productive ways? What
unhealthy person or thing is clinging to me and not
allowing me to bear fruit? To engage in fruitful
service to the vine-grower?
How does my service affect the health of the other
branches? How does it affect the entire vineyard?
Prayer for our Children
Receiving First Eucharist next Saturday
Loving God, we thank you for the gift of the
children of St. Michael Parish, and ask that you
send the blessing of your Holy Spirit upon them.
May your love be with them, so that their
Communion with you and with the Body of Christ,
your Church, will teach them to live good lives. May
they, and their families, strive each day to become a
visible sign of your presence, and may they come
often to your table to receive your Precious Body
and Blood. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN

Spring only recently arrived but the Fall Fest
organizing committee is already starting to make plans
for this year’s edition. The committee would like to
thank everyone in the parish for their past participation.
Over the last seven years, Fall Fest has raised a lot of
money to support our parish and school. As was
reported in the parish’s financial report last year, Fall
Fest 2014 br ought in near ly $100,000. That would
not be possible without our great team of volunteers
and the many visitors who attend throughout Fall Fest
weekend. It is truly a community event that is open to
all--adults and children alike.
Please note that Fall Fest is occurring one week later than usual because Labor Day is late this year and the
renovations that will be taking place in the church. Mark your calendars now to save the dates!
Thank you again for your support--we look forward to seeing everyone at Fall Fest 2015!

F
or the past few years, we
have been fortunate to be
able to miss the winters in Chicago
by spending them in Florida.
There, of course, we experience
daily sunshine, minimal rainfall,
the natural beauty of the area and
numerous social activities with old
friends and new friends.
We found it very interesting and
unusual that when we requested
participation in some service
ministries, frequently the response
was, “Sorry, we’re full; we will call
you if we need someone.” We
found this both good and bad. It
was good because so many retirees
in Florida fill their retirement years
in this way, but bad if you wish to
participate and cannot.
One day we decided to drive out
to Immokalee, home of the migrant
workers, and just appear at the
Guadalupe Center where the people
receive various services. Surely
they would have opportunities for
us. It is in this town where the
migrant workers live in expectation
of being chosen to work in the
fields picking produce of various
kinds on a day by day basis.
What a reality check this was!

some cases three families live in

The first graders learned about the moon and how craters are formed in
science class. They used sand, which represented the dust on the moon, and a marble,
which represented an asteroid. The students took marbles and dropped them in the
sand to see how craters are formed. They each took turns dropping the marble. After
they finished, they learned how asteroids formed craters in the moon. Finally, they
read a book called Faces of the Moon. This is where they learned what phases of the
moon occur throughout our year. It was a great day for playful poetry and learning the

Queridos hermanos
Las lecturas de este Quinto Domingo de Pascua nos hacen un fuerte llamado a
dar testimonio de un Cristo VIVO y ACTIVO en el mundo. Pero para
lograrlo, nos dice el evangelio de hoy, hemos de permanecer UNIDOS a
Cristo.
Un ejemplo de lo que la unidad con Cristo puede hacer en la vida de alguien
es San Pablo. Él era un fariseo que se dedicaba a perseguir y matar cristianos
por el simple hecho de creer en Jesús, pero después de su encuentro con
Cristo su vida dio un cambio total; de ser perseguidor se volvió defensor y
proclamador del Sacrificio Salvífico de Jesús. Y a eso estamos llamados
también, a un encuentro con Jesús, y al igual que San Pablo, dejar que Jesús
transforme nuestra vida a través de la Gracia que nos ayudará a amar, no solo
de palabra, sino de corazón y acción.
Finalmente, han pasado ya tres meses desde que llegue a esta grandiosa
comunidad de St. Michael. Tiempo en el que he podido contemplar la
constante acción de Dios en esta parroquia a través del fuerte testimonio de
vida, fe y santidad que hay entre ustedes. Y con esa alegría de haber
encontrado a Cristo entre ustedes quiero agradecer el infinito apoyo y caridad que me demostraron durante
este tiempo. Se ha llegado el momento de concluir esta etapa de formación en mi camino rumbo al
sacerdocio ministerial, y quiero que sepan que realmente ha sido una gran bendición el estar entre ustedes
compartiendo espíritu y vida. Espero seguir contando con su oración por mí, y tengan por seguro que yo
oraré por ustedes. Y tengan siempre presente que si quieren sacerdotes santos, tienen que santificarlos a
través de su oración. ¡Dios los bendice!
Su Hermano en Cristo
Jesús Romero Galán
Dear friends,
The readings from this Fifth Sunday of Easter make a strong appeal for us to give testimony to Christ who
is LIVING and ACTIVE in the world. But to reach that goal, the gospel from today tells us, that we must
remain UNITED to Christ.
St. Paul is an example of what unity with Christ is able to do in the life of a person. He was a Pharisee who
dedicated himself to persecuting and killing Christians for simply believing in Jesus, but after his encounter
with Christ, his life changed completely. From being a persecutor, he was changed into a defender and
proclaimer of the saving sacrifice of Jesus. We are called to this as well: to an encounter with Jesus, just
like St. Paul, which allows Jesus to transform our lives through his grace that will help us to love, not only
in word, but also in heart and deed.
Lastly, three months have already passed since I arrived at this great community of St. Michael. In this
time, I have been able to contemplate the constant action of God in this parish through the strong testimony
of life, faith, and holiness that exists in you all. With that joy of having encountered Christ among you, I
would like to thank you for the great help and kindness that you have shown me during this time. The
moment to conclude this stage of my formation on the way to the ministerial priesthood has arrived, and I
would like for you to know that it has been a great blessing to be among you here csharing spirit and life. I
hope to rely on your prayers for me, and know for sure that I will pray for you. Remember always that if
you want holy priests, then you need to make them holy through your prayers. May God bless you!
Your brother in Christ,
Jesús Romero-Galan
