Without challenging Peter, Jesus leads the disciples back down the mountain. We need “mountain moments” that provide a strong connection to the Lord, but more importantly, we have to come back down the mountain, to transfigure the routines of life into the extraordinary.

A note from the Campus Manager For the past couple of months you have surely noticed the lift that has sat proudly in the Church. Hopefully you have also noticed that there are no lights out (except for a couple I can’t reach) as well since that majestic lift was being used to change the 400 lamps hanging above your head. 160 of these lamps were new, extremely efficient, LED flood lights. With a life span of 20 years and the tremendous energy savings of 19 watts compared to the 250 before moving to LED from incandescent; it was an obvious choice. These lamps are possibly one of the best investments made by the Church in recent years, the savings in utilities and maintenance will be dramatic. 240 fluorescents were changed as well, along with the ballasts that drive them, paying attention to replacing the clips that hold them and the sockets that in some cases were failing. Beyond that, windows were loose, sockets were hanging by the wires and in general, the chandeliers were put back in good order for trouble free service in the future. Finally, the 28 spot lights in the Church were changed with many of the beam patterns being altered and then adjusted to present the sanctuary in its magnificent glory. The project took longer than I would have hoped but this is a terribly busy Church and times when the lift could be used were limited. That said, the finished product is illuminating the Church more evenly than before with less “hot spots”, is more energy efficient and, one of the main concerns, works with our dimmer panel. Michael Joslyn FMCHS OPEN HOUSE and SHADOW DAYS One great way to see Father McGivney High School and meet the faculty and staff is to attend the Open House on Sunday, March 1 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Another option is a Shadow Day for current 8th graders interested in being a Griffin for a day and experiencing our classes, students and technology.

Romans 8:31b “If God is for us, who can be against us? On some days I might want to respond, “Here is my list.” Although an honest feeling some days, it isn’t the life-giving response of a hope filled follower. At least it does not seem it on the surface. However, how long was Jesus’ list of those who were against him? The Sadducees, Pharisees, Romans, Zealots and even sometimes His own Apostles were on the list of those who opposed Jesus’ message. Yet we know what happened at Jesus’ Baptism, “This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.” We hear what God said at the Transfiguration “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” To be followers of Jesus sometimes means that we are working against the social norm. When we read the Gospels, we read of people that, after encountering Him, radically changed. God did not spare Jesus’ human flesh. Jesus allowed God’s will to be done. Jesus rose from the dead transfigured to a new life. Each day we have the opportunity to see forms of new life; a sunrise, a baby, the stars, an act of kindness, a second chance. These simple daily experiences help us to see beyond our list of dissenters and look towards shared life in Christ. God is for us! Once, during a St. Vincent de Paul home visit by members of our parish conference to a person seeking our help, the visitors asked that person who was familiar to them and who had asked for help each year for a number of years why that person was not working in the field which they were trained to work. In tears, that person admitted to those visitors that there was a felony conviction for drug possession in their past and that person could never work in their chosen field unless that conviction was expunged. It seemed like that person was continuing to pay a debt to society for many years after they had fulfilled the terms of their conviction. I often wonder how many others are living in a kind of desperation because wrong choices in their youth have condemned them to a life without opportunity. Theology on Tap Thursday, March 5, 7:00-9:00 p.m. Bona Lounge Topic: “Catholic Calisthenics: Sit, Stand, Kneel.

All women of our parish are invited to attend.

St. Boniface RCIA-RCIC Monday, March 2 @ 6:30 p.m., Acorn Room in the Lower Level of the Church Topic: Holy Orders and Call to Community Presenter: Deacon Dan Each morning during the month of February, I have thought about that home visit when I pray for this month’s Papal intentions as a part of my morning offering. That intention is – That prisoners, especially the young, may be able to rebuild lives of dignity. In our country, in our own city of Edwardsville we do have a subclass of citizens who will have great difficulty finding gainful employment on their return to society. One out of every 28 children has a parent in that category and those children will also live substandard lives. The Most Reverend Dennis J. Madden, the auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore wrote an article about this very issue for the February 23, 2015 edition of America magazine. In that article he presented some dramatic statistics about the number of persons incarcerated in the United States. The United States has 5 percent of the world’s population and nearly 25 percent of the world’s prisoners. Today there are roughly 700 people in prison or in jail for every 100,000 Americans. The next highest incarceration rate occurs in the Russian Federation, which incarcerates 474 people for every 100,000 of its citizens. We are not more evil than the Russians! We simply choose to lock people up for nonviolent behaviors that other countries do not imprison people for. Our Holy Father recently spoke about the challenges faced by inmates returning to society and the need for them to have hope. He asked that our prisons make strong efforts to prepare people for their reinsertion into society and he emphasized that the dignity of human persons must be at the center of all we do. During this Lenten season we need to quietly ask ourselves if the dignity of all persons is, indeed, at the center of our attitude of tolerance and forgiveness of others. If each of us were to be truly tolerant and vocally tolerant of others then, perhaps, our own United States would be putting less people into prison. Think about it because it starts with you and me. ~ Deacon Dan M U S I C 7 NOTES FROM JILL UPCOMING EVENTS EVENING PRAYER Sunday, March 1 @ 4:30 p.m. Every Sunday of Lent in the Chapel, All are welcome!

Stewardship cannot be just one more report to write, test to pass, or service project to complete. The ultimate goal is to have students become God’s stewards, not just learn about stewardship. Students must see that stewardship is something we do constantly. Every decision we make is a stewardship decision. To make stewardship a pervasive “way of life” lesson in the classroom, we must regularly reinforce several key stewardship concepts using a wide variety of strategies. We must talk about it in every circumstance, not just in religion class, or PSR class. Church & School Income Envelopes 16,272.95 Loose 920.53 Electronic 4,045.00 Stock Dividend/Matching 500.00 Misc Income (Baptisms, weddings, etc.) 468.00 Pre-School Tuition 660.00 Tuition 9,969.00 School Fees 6,100.00 Hot Lunch 950.60 Extended Care 994.50 Three Critical Stewardship Concepts to Teach Gift Shop 1. Everything we have is a gift from God. Children Total Operating Income must recognize that every single thing they have comes from God. God is in charge; they are not. Thus, God gets credit for what they have or do not have. As children fully understand this, some of the pressure they feel to have will begin to wane. We can reinforce this concept by always reminding children that God gets credit for all they have. Asking children to bring in pictures or write stories about the gifts God has given them is one way to teach this concept. There are no wrong answers here. Everything is a gift from God! 2. We must be grateful for the gifts we receive. Gratitude is a forgotten virtue today. We are so busy thinking about what we want next that we forget to be grateful for what we have now. Yet, contentment comes only when we are grateful. Children must be reminded constantly to be grateful to God and to others for the blessings they have. We have a responsibility to share our gifts. Jesus said, “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much and more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more” (Lk 12:48). Compared to children throughout the world, most children in our country today have been entrusted with “much” if not with “more.” By learning about the poor and needy throughout the world, children will recognize how blessed they are and see that they have a responsibility to help those less fortunate. They also are capable of understanding the concept of the tithe and our Lord’s numerous parables on giving, sharing, and caring for others. 82.35 40,962.93 Church & School Expenses Utilities 5,514.07 Repairs & Maintenance 2,141.47 Hot Lunch Program Costs 0.00 Ext Daycare Program Costs 0.00 Misc Operating Expenses 2,334.56 Insurance-Property & Liability, WC, Auto Athletic Expense 11,160.09 105.00 Gift Shop 0.00 Payroll & Fringes 13,103.50 School Supplies 0.00 Total Operating Expenses 34,358.69 Net Surplus/(Shortfall) 6,604.24 Other Collections (Restricted Funds) ACSA 429.00 Angel Fund 178.00 St. Vincent de Paul 1,275.00 FMCHS Tuition Fund 20.00 CCIF (building improvements) 0.00 Building (debt reduction) 335.00 Diocesan Collections - Sent to Diocese February 16-22, 2015 376.00 Weekly Sales YTD Profit July 2014-Present $5,260.00 $12,172.79 Robin Hake, Business Manager, [email protected] SCRIP Funeral Lunch Volunteers March 2015 ~ Committee #2 Team Leader Betty Franke with Julie Davis, Carole Grapperhaus, Ned & Denise Guetterman, Kay Fisher, Cindy Kolakowski, Theresa Lavelle & Judy Vieth COLLECTION COUNTERS Monday, March 2, 2015 – Shirley Lanham, Sue Papajcik and Cay Hartnagel E V E R G R E E N A N N O U N C E M E N T S 9 Circle of Moms—Upcoming Events Mom’s Evening Circle ~ Wednesday, March 4 at 7:00 p.m. ~ Art with Allie – in the Bona Lounge ~ Come paint a spring canvas with us!
