EVANGELIZATION: Go and Make Disciples
Evangelization means bringing the Good News
of Jesus into every human situation and seeking
to convert individuals and society by the driving power of the Gospel itself. We are looking
for people who would like to join us in a parish
Evangelization team. The Evangelization team
assists the parish in discovering ways to deepen
the faith, share the faith and invite others to the
faith. They act as a catalyst for evangelization
to happen in the parish. They are not the sole
evangelizers of the parish. This team will help
us remember that we are ALL called to evangelize. With our baptism, came the mission to
share our faith with others. The Church tells us
that the reason St. Patrick’s and all parishes
exist is to evangelize. Please join us in making
this parish a vibrant faith community. We are
excited to welcome those wanting to be part of
the team to carry out the mission and gather
new ideas. If you are interested in joining the
team, please contact Vicki Borst, Pastoral Minister at 402-721-6611 ext 18 or
[email protected].
From the Pastor
From the Pastor, Fr. Dave Belt
“Elijah prayed for death, saying: ‘This is enough, O Lord! Take my life, for I
am no better than my fathers.’ But then an angel touched him and ordered
him to get up and eat. Then, strengthened by that food, he walked forty days
and forty nights.”
Elijah wasn’t too happy with God. After all that he had done as one of God’s
prophets, he was running for his life. It seems that Queen Jezebel wasn’t too
happy that Elijah had killed 450 of her personal prophets, so she had vowed to kill him by noon
of the next day. Elijah is to the point where death actually sounds pretty good. But God has a
different plan in mind. Even when things are looking bleak and hopeless, God has a way to overcome evil and turn a difficult situation into something good.
Elijah is able to continue his journey because of the word of encouragement he received from the
angel and the food that he received from heaven. We too receive a message of hope and the gift
of nourishment for the journey when we gather to celebrate the Eucharist. It is in this gathering
that our weary lives are touched by the beautiful and abundant grace of God, so that we may
continue on our way to eternal life in heaven.
“The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these
words, ‘Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.’” –St. Bernadette Soubirous
From Dan Koenig, Principal of Archbishop Bergan Catholic School

~The regular Thursday School Mass at St. Patrick's will be held at 8:30am rather than

so that we have to ability to schedule and offer all of the intended curriculum during the school
day.
~The Middle/High School day will be extended 10 minutes and we will be dismissing daily at
3:30pm. This change was made in order to allow us to exceed instructional hours for specific
courses required by the Nebraska Department of Education.
God of all knowledge,
You knew us when we were still in our mother’s womb. You know our comings and our goings.
Grant us wisdom to act on the knowledge we have of you, and humility to admit when we do not
know what to do. Bless our minds with the knowledge of you and how you sent your Son into the
world to show us the way to you. Bless all students who are preparing to go back to school.
Bless their teachers and aides that help them to learn. In addition, give us who are parents the
ability to be the first teachers in the faith we have received from our parents.
Amen.

Living Catholic Stewardship
The city of Ephesus was one of St. Paul’s
major centers of operation. Many scholars
consider it to be the most theologically sound
of all his letters. One of Paul’s major purposes
in writing it was to make clear to the Gentiles
that they have been brought together with the
Jews in the Body of Christ. Unity is important. In the interest of Christian unity Paul
includes an important piece of advice in today’s Second Reading: “All bitterness, fury,
anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed
from you, along with all malice. And be kind
to one another, compassionate, forgiving one
another as God has forgiven you in Christ.”
The idea of forgiveness is so important to us if
we truly wish to be Christians and good stewards. Most of us understand that we need to be
forgiven, but that does not make it any easier
for us to forgive. Yet, that is at the basis of
our ability to be unified and loving in the way
Paul advises. See more at:
http://www.thecatholicsteward.com
Archbishop Bergan School Tuition Assistance Fund: A portion of the funds returned

establish this Fund. The Fund has been created using the Fremont Area Community Foundation as administrator, and is currently available to receive tax deductible contributions. If
you are interested in receiving further information, please contact the Parish Office.

million mortgage on the elementary building. Through your faith and support we managed to
completely pay off that line-of-credit, and we are on pace to reduce the mortgage to $2.68 million

the construction of the Elementary School, while also establishing a reserve fund which will allow

Helpers of God’s Precious Infants: The Bellevue abortion mill (1002 W. Mission
Ave.) is open on Thursdays and has been very busy. Prayer warriors are desperately needed from 10:30 am - 4:30 pm every Thursday. Other hours at this location are
7:30 am - 12:00 noon on Friday and 7:30 am until 10:00 am on Saturday. Anything
you can do to let others know about these times is much appreciated.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church: (Catechism 2275) “One must hold
as licit procedures carried out on the human embryo and do not involve disproportionate risks for it, but are directed toward its healing, the improvement of its condition of health, or its individual survival. It is immoral to produce human embryos intended for exploitation as disposable biological
material. Certain attempts to influence chromosomic or genetic inheritance are not therapeutic but are
aimed at producing human beings selected according to sex or other predetermined qualities. Such manipulations are contrary to the personal dignity of the human being and his integrity and identity which are
unique and unrepeatable.”
