They certainly proved that yet again in a special way last Saturday. That was the evening the parish hosted its annual volunteer dinner. That is the night we thank all of our volunteers who so faithfully serve our parish all year long. Our staff people truly are dedicated individuals who often make great sacrifices to work at a Catholic parish. The salaries are not high; the hours can be long. Most, if not all, of these do this out of love for God and His Church. I am very grateful to them for this. Although reasonably new to St. Veronica’s (this Saturday, the 25th, is the one year anniversary of my arrival here), it is quite obvious that the parish staff is outstanding. It is also very obvious that this parish has many truly generous volunteers who are willing to give so much to make this the parish it is. I do then want to first thank all of the paid staff for all they do and for all they did last Saturday. They worked hard to provide a marvelous evening for our volunteers. I will single out just one of these people, Diana Acker, who is the parish apostolate coordinator. She is responsible for all of our events as well, so she oversaw all the efforts last week. Those efforts certainly paid off as it was a beautiful night and a very fitting way to honor our volunteers. The food was excellent. The entertainment was very conducive to celebrating. The parish hall was aptly decorated. Really everything about the night was exceptional. I also want to thank our volunteers. No doubt they do what they do, not for a salary, but out of love of God and this parish. For that reason I am extremely grateful to all of those who give many hours in many different ways for the sake of this parish, both the church and the school. All of those who volunteered with the parish over the past year were invited to the dinner last Saturday. We tried to send a personal invitation to every known volunteer. Unfortunately, I am sure we missed a few and there are some who only may be known to God. Of course not everyone was able to make it last Saturday evening. Those who could and did, I think, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I heard nothing but positive responses to the evening. It has been the custom here to designate two men and two women, often a husband and wife, who were noted for their contributions to the parish in terms of service. The designees this year were Gina and Don McCue and Jennifer and John Van Daele. Gina and Don are extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. Gina heads up the Blessed Mother Teresa Outreach apostolate. She also was the parish representative who led the diocesan Pilgrimage to the Shrine and regularly assists with other parish functions. Jennifer and John gave countless hours to many parish activities as well, in particular with anything and everything that included the youth. In addition Jennifer has been a part time employee of the parish’s office of religious education. Sadly for us, they and their children are moving this summer. This will be a great loss in many ways, especially with all that they have been doing. We congratulate both of these couples and thank them for all they do. This year we also had a special award, the “Faithful Servant, Beloved Volunteer” designation. This went posthumously to Michael Greiner, a long time parishioner, who volunteered in numerous ways over his years here. I wrote about him a couple of months ago after his death in March. We thank him and his family and continue our prayers for the repose of his soul. Lastly, I again thank everyone, employees and volunteers, for all they do. ~ In Christ, Fr. Kleinmann The Holy Father’s June Prayer Intentions Universal: Human Solidarity. That the aged, marginalized, and those who have no one may find—even within the huge cities of the world—opportunities for encounter and solidarity. Evangelization: Seminarians and Novices. That seminarians and men and women entering religious life may have mentors who live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely for their mission.

To begin with the most recent events, it was such a grace and a pleasure to see so many of you at the Ordination, then the 10:45 Mass of Thanksgiving the next day was an extraordinarily beautiful experience for me. The reception afterwards was phenomenal, far better than what I could have planned for myself. Thank you so much to those who were able to make it out for the Ordination and for those who worked so hard on the reception. Those who were spiritually united to us, unable to make it for whatever reason, I am quite sure Our Lord heard your prayers for us. Then, throughout the last two years, the families and friends at St Veronica's have been a tremendous support to me— (including but not limited to) encouraging me for homilies that they thought were helpful and giving me some pointers on ways to improve. It was a great joy to get to know a good number of the kids (or young men and women, as the case may be), especially those involved in Ignite, Ablaze, and altar serving. Thanks for your warmth and jokes and prayers. Be sure that I remember the folks of St. Veronica's in my prayers and now in the sacrifice of the Mass. Please keep me in your prayers. ~ Father Colin Davis Stabat Mater Fundraising Campaign The Secular Institute Stabat Mater, whose primary objective is the formation of Hispanic Christian youth, is conducting a fundraising campaign in our parish this weekend, June 25th26th.

THOMAS MORE AND JOHN FISHER USCCB Fact Sheet “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first.” (Our Lady of Victories, Kensington, London; Photo by Fr. Lawrence Lew, OP) Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher were Renaissance men. Talented and energetic, they contributed to the humanist scholarship of early modern England. More wrote theological and philosophical treatises, while making a career as a lawyer and government official. Bishop John Fisher worked as an administrator at Cambridge, confronted the challenge Martin Luther presented to Christian Europe, and most importantly served as Bishop of Rochester. As a bishop, he is notable for his dedication to preaching at a time when bishops tended to focus on politics. These men were brilliant. They both corresponded with Erasmus, who helped Bishop Fisher learn Greek and Hebrew, and who also famously referred to More as a man omnium horarium, a man of all seasons. Above all their accomplishments, these men bore witness to a deep faith in Christ and his Church. More considered joining religious life and was assiduous in his devotional practices. As a married man, he committed himself wholly to his vocation as a father. At the time, disciplinary practices with children tended to be severe, but More’s children testify to his warmth, patience, and generosity. St. John Fisher was a model shepherd and demonstrated remarkable humility. He remained in the small Diocese of Rochester his entire episcopal ministry, devoting himself to his local church rather than seeking promotion to a larger, more powerful diocese. More and Fisher are well-known for opposing King Henry’s divorce. Ultimately, it was their refusal to sign an oath of supremacy that led them to be executed. King Henry VIII claimed to be the supreme head of the Church in England, asserting sovereign power over English Christians. Neither Fisher nor More could abide this claim, and their steadfastness to their consciences put them in conflict with the king. They were convicted of treason. When More made his way to the gallows, he is said to have stated, “I die the King’s good servant, but God’s first.” Both More and Fisher were patriots. They never rose up to incite rebellion or foment revolution. They were no traitors. But when the law of the king came into conflict with the law of Christ, they chose Christ. These men gave their lives for the freedom of the Church and for freedom of conscience. They bear witness to the truth that no government can make a claim on a person’s soul. Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher, pray that we too will be good servants to our country, but God’s first!

Peter represents the institutional church, while Paul represents the charismatic or spiritual church. Both are associated with the church in Rome. But what binds them together, above all, is that they were utterly seized by Jesus’ message. (Fr. Lawrence Lew, OP) The New Testament often portrays Peter as rash and headstrong. One minute, he is a paragon of faith; the next, he has completely misunderstood what Jesus wants. He frequently does not seem to get what is going on, and he even denies Jesus when Jesus is about to be executed. And yet, despite his shortcomings and weaknesses, he has a heart for the Lord. He is the Prince of the Apostles, and as the first bishop of Rome, he holds a special place in the hearts of Catholic Christians. Scripture introduces Paul as a violent persecutor of the first Christians. In fact, he oversees the execution of the man whom the Acts of the Apostles depicts as the first martyr, St. Stephen (Acts 7:58-8:1). He considers himself a late addition to the Jesus movement, referring to himself as “one untimely born” (1 Cor 15:8). However, following his encounter with Christ near Damascus, he became one of the greatest missionaries in the history of the Church. Like Peter, Paul has a heart for the Lord, and when his spiritual energy is directed to the glory of Jesus Christ, he is a powerful witness to the kingdom of God. His letters make up the bulk of the New Testament and continue to guide the Church today. It is a beautiful testimony to the power of God that these two men, whose faults Scripture does not attempt to hide, are key figures in the story of Jesus and foundational in the development of the Church. Sts. Peter and Paul show us the work of the Holy Spirit, who renews hearts, builds the Church, and testifies to Christ. Peter died in Rome as martyr – on a cross, according to some accounts. Paul suffered for the cause of the gospel throughout his ministry, writing several letters from prison. He, like Peter, was martyred in Rome. Imperfect men, seized by the Word of God and set on fire by the Holy Spirit. They are pillars of our Church and witnesses to freedom in Christ. Sts. Peter and Paul, pray for us!
