FINANCIAL MATTERS
THROUGH THE EYES OF A PASTOR!!!!
A Pilgrimage to the Shrine in New Franken, WI
Any Pastor is reluctant to talk about financial realities
in a parish under his charge. As most of you have been informed
and involved in the need to lease out our school building, the
Trustees, Finance, and Pastoral Councils have been working
many long and hard hours to make this new re-structuring a reality.
Thanks be to God, we have leased out the 2nd and 3rd
floors to the JDAL Charter School under the umbrella of the
Green Bay Public School System. I have asked our Finance
Council to give an update on the leasing of the entire school
building and what that means for the Parish, as well as our future events and Religious Education Program. This will also
give us a reality check about the collections and finances of the
Parish. I hope that these conversations during the weekend
masses will help clarify any misconceptions about this project.
I believe this endeavor will help the whole Parish continue its mission of welcoming and educating the next generation of all who come to us seeking acceptance and guidance in
their spiritual lives.
We all understand that the whole country is in a financial crunch on all levels; this includes unfortunately the
churches. So, I ask you to consider increasing your weekly contributions by at least $5.00, to help meet our parish obligations
as well as our staff salaries, if at all possible.
Memorial Day Pilgrimage
On Monday, May 28th (Memorial Day) parishioners are
invited to participate in the ancient tradition of making a pilgrimage on foot, to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help.
A pilgrimage is a prayerful, sacrificial journey to a holy
place, symbolic of our lives as pilgrims on earth seeking our destination in heaven.
We will meet in the Saints
Peter & Paul Parking lot at 7:20 am
to organize, attend Mass, then depart.
On arriving at the shrine.
(approximately 2:30—3:30 pm)
We will pray the Stations of the
Cross - then use the time at the shrine
as each pilgrim would like. If unable
to make the pilgrimage on foot, you
may participate by making a spiritual
pilgrimage and meeting us at the shrine, and/or help transport pilgrims back to SSPP. Pilgrims should each bring: Their own lunch,
water or something to drink, a rosary and anything else they may
need and a way to carry it. Please do not bring cell phones, or
other electronics. (cameras are acceptable)
LITURGY MATTERS TO US.!!!!!!!!!!
Catholic worship is a major priority for us through our
conversations and surveys over the past two years. We have
been educated in the reason for worship and its proper and reverent style at our Parish.
Sadly, we all have noticed a slight decrease in weekly
mass attendance at all of our English Masses. I ask you to please
invite and re-invite friends and family members that have not
been to Church for a while. We have far too many empty pews
to continue with the schedule as is.
The Pastoral Council has been trying to find ways to
get people to attend Sunday Church regularly by visiting the
neighborhood around us. I ask all of you to invite family and
friends that only come to Church on occasions.
We all need to work on this, not just committees or
organizations. This old saying rings very true:
“United We Stand Divided We Fall!”
If interested in walking or driving, or for more information, please call Genevieve at 422-8033.
Our Own Needs Collection—Sunday, May 27, 2012
On Pentecost Sunday, the Annual collection for “Our Own
Needs” will take place. Please support these collections through
donation and prayer so that the Church can continue its important work here in the diocese and throughout the country. The
four major beneficiaries represented in this collection are:
• Catholic Communications Campaign

And the Lord Jesus,
Was Taken up into the Heavens...
JESUS CHRIST GOES TO THE
FATHER AND WE AWAIT HIS
GLORIUS RETURN.. ALLELUIA
Today we must look backward and forward at the same time in
order to fully appreciate the events of the Ascension of the Lord.
Forty days ago we sang joyful Alleluias as we recalled the Lord’s
Resurrection in glory from the tomb. In just a few more days we
will commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
Today is alike a directional arrow that points us from the first
event to the second. We are fortunate; with hindsight we can see
the whole picture. We are able to understand the intricate progression from the Resurrection to Ascension to Pentecost.
That was not so for the early disciples of Jesus.
A question for us this week is where indeed, do we go
from here? In 2012, we know the answers to many of the questions the
apostles were left with at the Lord’s Ascension. As the Church,
the Body of Christ guided by the Holy spirit, we carry on the
work of Jesus. Through and under the authority of the Magisterium, the Gospel message has spread to the ends of the earth, and
the Holy Spirit is alive and active in the hearts of all who believe
and are baptized. This will continue to be the mission left for us
until Christ returns in total glory and triumph, and the Kingdom
comes on earth as it is in heaven.
I encourage you to pray this novena prayer each day this
week with the intention for our Parish and Diocese…
Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your holy gifts.
Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trials of life, enlighten me in
my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my
weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me and my family.
Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my
heart, my soul, and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to
grow in goodness and grace. Amen. Alleluia.
Matters of Importance…
Pastoral planning update - Reality Check
A few months ago I reported to all of you that if we don't increase attendance at all our Masses we will have to combine our
Sunday Mass schedule. Because we are not sure when this will
happen. It remains un-said, that unless you help by inviting family members and friends to return to regular Sunday Mass every
week, this is an issue we will have to face. We are not the only
church experiencing this trend. and of course, with lower attendance we cannot meet our weekly financial bills, so our collections come in lower than our per week needs. (Thank You to
those who so generously gave this past weekend!)We all have
been experiencing hard times but we have to remember that God
is still in control even though it may seem doubtful. So, I ask you
to help the churches evangelization efforts by starting with ourselves , our families, and friends. I have asked our Finance Council members to give a reality update on the state of finances for
our parish by the end of this month and through June. Through
the Intercession of SS. Peter & Paul may God continue to bless
and protect our beloved Church and Parish Family. In the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary. Fr. Tony
