Parish Mission
Statement
St. Kilian Parish is a Catholic
community of faith
responding to the call of
Jesus Christ through the

Eucharist, and in living the
sacramental life of the
Church.
We are committed to
responding to each other
through communities and
ministries of faith and
love, addressing our
spiritual, social and
educational needs.
We believe that each of us is
called to be a supportive,
compassionate, and caring
Christian witness in

Today’s Gospel
“You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect .”
Continuing his Sermon on the Mount (according to Matthew) Jesus tells his followers that the Christian law demands much more of
them than did the Mosaic law, especially as interpreted by the Pharisees.
The lesson we have to learn from today's gospel hardly needs any emphasizing. We must, if we are truly Christian, forgive those
who offend or injure us. We must love all men, whether they be friends or enemies. G. K. Chesterton says : "We are commanded to
love our neighbors and our enemies; they are generally the same people." This is very true for all of us. It is very easy for me to love
(in a theoretical way) all Japanese, Chinese, Russians and most Europeans—they never come in contact with me and never tread on
my corns. But it is my neighbors, those among whom I live and work, who are liable to injure me and thus become my enemies.
Charity begins at home, because it is here that it can and should be learned and practiced. It is first and foremost necessary for
Christian peace in the home. Husband and wife must learn to understand and tolerate each other's imperfections and faults. If one
offends in what the other would regard as something serious, the offended one should not demand an apology but should show forgiveness before the other has humbly to apologize. No two persons in the world, not even identical twins, can agree on all things, so
it is vain and unrealistic to expect even one's married partner to agree with one in all points. Christian charity alone can cover the
multitude of faults of both partners.
If there is peace and harmony between husband and wife, as there will be if both are truly charitable, the children will learn too to
be understanding and forgiving. Such a home will be a truly happy home even if it has little of the world's riches.
Our charity must spread from the home to our neighbors—to all those with whom we have contact. It is easy to get on with most
people, but in every neighborhood and in every village or town there will always be those who are difficult. There will be the dishonest, the tale-bearers, the quarrelsome, the critic of everyone and everything. It is when we have dealings with such people that all
our Christian charity is necessary. Most likely we will never be able to change their ways of acting, but charity will enable us to
tolerate their faults and will move us to pray for their eternal welfare.
- Father Kevin O’Sullivan
*Father Kevin was professor of Sacred Scripture at Christ the King Seminary and St. Bonaventura University in N.Y. and later in
the National Seminary, Pretoria, South Africa and as a pastoral priest in Ireland.
There Is Enough Grace For Us To Love Our Enemies
“If you invite God to yourself in the posture of an evangelical child, and if you open up to Him the world of your difficult
relationships with various persons, those whom you cannot love, He Himself will lead you with His light and will teach you
how to also love those who wound you.”
S.C. Biela, Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock (Ft. Collins, CO: IAMF, 2005), 89.

FISH FRY 2014
Volunteers are needed!!
Ash Wednesday, March 5th is almost here and we start preparing food for our 2014 Lenten Fish
Fry the very next day.
Each Friday night Fish Fry involves over 150 adults and students. On Friday night there are two
volunteer shifts: one starts at 4:15pm generally, and the other at 5:45pm so you can both volunteer
to help and also have dinner with friends or family. Then there is the clean up after the party. We
can always use your help cleaning up the Hall afterwards. Please volunteer to help!
There are six Friday night Fish Frys during Lent. We start food preparation on Thursday and
Friday mornings, so join us starting March 6th. We start a little after 9:00 AM, but come
whenever you can. There will always be coffee and donuts.
The first Fish Fry will be March 7th.
Right now, we are asking you to go to the St. Kilian website: www.stkilianchurch.org, click on
“the fish” and let us know when you can help with this fun event.
If you are a student, (youth volunteers must be in grade 6 or higher,) please don’t put off
volunteering until the last minute. Sign up sheets are on a first come first serve basis. Serving will
count as confirmation service or service hours as needed. Please include your grade level when
you go to the website to volunteer. Youth permission slips can be found on the main Fish Fry
webpage for Youth log-ins only. Please print and sign a permission slip and bring it to the first
night of service. All new Youth Volunteers should report for duty 15 minutes early for training.
We really appreciate all of our volunteers. Thank you!
DONATIONS
Now accepting donations of lemons, soda, beer, wine and water.
Drop them off in the Parish Center any time.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
