VATICAN CITY — After a threeday trip to Austria in early September, Pope Benedict XVI is putting
away his traveling shoes and settling in for a long fall and winter at
the Vatican.
The next foreign trip fixed firmly
on the pope’s calendar is mid-July
of 2008, when he plans to fly to Australia for World Youth Day celebrations.
Vatican officials say the pope also
expects to visit the United Nations
and New York in 2008, and April
now looks like a likely time frame.

ORLANDO — Where do you
encounter the living Christ in your
ministry? How do you lead others to
encounter the living Christ? These
were the questions that more than
850 catechists from the Orlando
Diocese were asked to reflect upon
during the 12th annual diocesan
Faith Formation Day held at Bishop
Moore High School Sept. 15.
This year’s moving theme, “Catechesis: Encountering the Living
Christ,” describes the heart of catechesis and the mission of the baptized faithful in bringing people to
Christ.
“You cannot love someone you
do not know,” said Bishop Thomas
Wenski in his opening remarks.
“We want people to know Christ.
That is the task of catechesis.”
Recognizing the difficulty faced
by catechists trying to bring the
message of Christ to a distracted
world, Bishop Wenski offered
words of encouragement, saying “It
is harder and harder to find space to
encounter the living Christ today,
but we are not discouraged because
the love of Christ urges us onward.”

St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish
celebrates first anniversary
Parish plans to add new programs and new church home

Isabella Lauteria and her mother, Edith Lauteria, greet Bishop Thomas
Wenski as they arrive to celebrate the one-year anniversary Mass at
St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish in Avalon Park.
AVALON PARK — Bishop Thomas Wenski shook hands and greeted
parishioners as they entered the
cafeteria of Stone Lakes Elementary
School Aug. 26 to celebrate Mass in
honor of the first anniversary of St.
Maximilian Kolbe Parish in Avalon
Park.
Brenda Kolbrich, a member of
the building site ministry, was instrumental in working with the
Diocese of Orlando in identifying a
need for a Catholic church in Avalon Park.
“When my family and I moved to
Avalon Park six years ago, I quickly
realized there was a need for another Catholic Church in east Orlando,” Kolbrich said. “I worked
with the diocese and the developer
and now it’s amazing that St. Maximilian Kolbe is now beginning the
second year.”
One year ago, 700 people attended the parish’s first three Masses.
More than 500 people gathered at
just one Mass to hear Bishop Wenski speak. Now it is not unusual for
more than 1,200 parishioners to
attend the Masses each weekend.
A fourth Sunday Mass was added
to accommodate growing attendance.
In 1941, the Nazis imprisoned
Father Maximilian Kolbe in the
Auschwitz, Poland, death camp.
There he offered his life for another
prisoner and was condemned to
slow death in a starvation bunker.
His impatient captors ended his life
with a fatal injection Aug. 14, 1941.
Pope John Paul II canonized Maximilian Kolbe as a “martyr of charity” in 1982.
In his homily, Bishop Wenski
talked about that incredible sacrifice. According to the bishop, the
value of human life was what Maximilian Kolbe stood for in his life
and in his ministry, and that is why
the parish was named for him.
“Back in Miami, I and another
priest friend of mine — also PolishAmerican — whenever we heard a
new parish was to be established,
would petition then Archbishop
Edward McCarthy to name a parish
for Maximilian Kolbe,” said Bishop
Wenski. “Although he first declined
— he said the people would end up
calling it St. Max and we countered,
‘So what? You have a parish everybody calls St. Pat’s’ — he finally accepted.
“As bishop of Orlando, I didn’t
have to petition anybody. I am convinced that his example and his
prayers will help us to value human
life and family life. St. Maximilian
Kolbe shed his blood for these values.”
St. James School melds historic with modern improvements
LAURA DODSON
Florida Catholic correspondent
ORLANDO — Light, cameras
and action awaited staff and students at St. James Cathedral School
in Orlando as it opened the 20072008 school year.
The Aug. 20 open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated
the school’s major renovations. The
increased physical light and brightness of the building elicited compliments of students and staff.
Lindsey Strube, a sixth-grader
who has been enrolled since kindergarten said, “When I left the
school last May, it was dull. After the
ribbon cutting, we walked in and it
was unbelievable. There are new
lights and fans and it’s cool with the
air conditioning.
“We have Internet in the classrooms and our parents can use their
laptops in the car while they’re waiting to pick us up. It makes learning
and understanding better,” Lindsey
added. “This is the best place for my
sister and me to both go to school
and learn. I have a twin sister, Ashley, who has Down syndrome and is
in the fifth grade.”
Ashley Strube eagerly shared her
thoughts. “I like St. James school
and I like the subjects,” she said.
She was most impressed with the
new computers, the lights and the
new painting on the walls.
The school was built in 1928
and because it is important architecture within the historic district,
innovative techniques were used
to introduce the new 21st-century
improvements while preserving the
integrity of the old style.
Gerri Gendall, starting her fifth
year as principal, explained, “God
is our master teacher and has been
lighting the way since 1928. Now
that light can shine even brighter
as a result of the generosity of a few
parents who donated the first third
for the $1.5 million renovation.
Gendall also recognized the generosity of the parishioners. “They
believed in us enough to continue
quality Catholic education and allowed us to borrow the remainder.”
The school has been completely
rewired for electricity, sound and
high-speed technology. Halls and
classrooms have new light fixtures
and ceiling fans. The new intercom
and sound systems provide better
listening in classrooms, and communication between classrooms
and administration. The improved
computer technology allows efficient use of smart boards, wireless
laptops and mounted projectors
and televised announcements.
Safety and security are enhanced
with mounted cameras inside and
out, sky shades protect children
from the sun outside and new air
conditioning gives relief from the
heat inside.
There are other changes as well
ORL A2
— four new staff members: Ranata
Farnell, Montessori head teacher;
America Calderon, fourth- and

teacher; Dawn Helwig, guidance
counselor; and Laura McDonald,
who shares a position teaching
fourth- and fifth-grade English
and writing. The school serves 505
students in Pre-K 3 through eighth
grade.
“I am so blessed by the community that they recognize and are
dedicated to excellence in Catholic education. Our mission statement is truly a living document in
all our daily activities,” Gendall
said. “We are committed to outstanding academic and spiritual
development of all our students
and provide varied opportunities
for them to discover and develop
their unique and God-given gifts
in a safe and stimulating environment. The love and stewardship of
Jesus is our inspiration.” ■
Father David Scotchie, pastor,
by recognizing the diversity of the
parish and its continued growth,
is honoring the value of the people
who compose the parish. More
than 25 percent of parish membership is Hispanic. A Spanish-language charismatic prayer group
now meets every Tuesday evening
at 6:30 p.m. Spanish-English missalettes will be added. During the
coming year special celebrations,
such as the feast of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, will feature a bilingual
Mass in Spanish and English.
Father Scotchie has other plans
for the coming year as well. “In our
second year we will start parishwide sacramental catechesis sessions for reconciliation, Eucharist
and confirmation; Crown Ministries financial planning; Bible
study; summer vacation school; an
affiliation of the Council of Catholic Women, and a Boy Scout troop,”
he said.
A parish pastoral council has just
been named and is developing a
long-range plan for the parish. One
of the major priorities is to raise
funds to build the permanent campus on the land donated by Avalon
Park developer Beat Kahli. ■

SUMMERFIELD — An image
in the possession of Pope Benedict
XVI now hangs within a parish in
Summerfield, with the blessing of
the pontiff.
A 5-foot-high replica of the original miraculous image of Our Lady
of Czestochowa now graces St.
Mark the Evangelist Parish in Summerfield, south of Ocala and just a
stone’s throw from The Villages.
Pauline Father Mariusz Dymek, assisted by Deacon Bob Esposito, unveiled the icon Aug. 26, the feast day
of Our Lady of Czestochowa.
“We are truly blessed to have
the only permanent icon, blessed
by the Holy Father, in the United
States at this time,” Father Dymek
told the congregation as he became
emotional to the point of briefly being unable to speak.
The image is significant to the
Polish people and especially to the
religious order of St. Paul the Hermit, otherwise known as the Pauline Fathers. The order was founded
in the13th century in Hungary, and
its members lived in caves in Hungary. The monastic order spread
throughout the countries of Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Austria and
Bavaria. Although various governments closed monasteries during a
period of time, they persevered in
Poland. The order furthered its devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary
at the main monastery in Czestochowa, Poland, where the Pauline
monastery still thrives. In the United States, the National Shrine of
Our Lady of Czestochowa is located
in Doylestown, Pa.
So, how did the image go from
the pope to a small town in central Florida? According to Deacon
Esposito of St. Mark it was “God-cidental.”
In 2006, an icon of Our Lady of
Czestochowa produced by a Polish
artist and icon painter was offered
to the pope during his trip to Poland. The Pauline Fathers prepared
a smaller copy of the icon. Pope
Benedict XVI blessed both icons,
but selected the smaller one, which
is in his bedroom in the Vatican. He
left the original icon with the Pauline monks at Jasna Gora Monastery in Czestochowa in case of some
“special needs.”
Less than two weeks later, Deacon Esposito and Pauline Father Sebastian Hanks, then parochial vicar of St. Mark, lead a pilgrimage to
Jasna Gora Monastery. While there,
Father Hanks talked to his friend,
Father Peter Polek, subprior of the
‘God-cidental.’ God wanted it to be
here.”
The icon traveled from Poland to
New York and then to the national
shrine in Doylestown. From there,
two priests drove it down to Summerfield, where St. Mark’s 3,200
parishioners have marveled at it.
The parish is one of nine entities
(including eight parishes and a
national shrine) staffed by Pauline
Fathers in the United States, and it is
the largest parish staffed by Pauline
Fathers in the United States.
“Parishioners have reacted in
awe,” Deacon Esposito said. “Since
the unveiling, a steady stream of
visitors has come to see the painting
and pray to Our Lady for their indi-

During the conditional period, the
immigrant would be required to go
to college, join the military or work
a significant number of hours of
community service. At the end of
the conditional period, those who
meet at least one of these requirements would be eligible for regular

The DREAM Act would give
these young people an opportunity
to meet their potential and to fully

country. While some in the Senate
are reluctant to attach such amendments to a defense bill, it is hard not
to recognize that our armed forces
would welcome some of these
bright young men and women eager to prove their loyalty to the only
country that they really know.
To be accepted as an amendment, the DREAM Act requires
the affirmative vote of 60 senators.
If enacted the DREAM Act would
have a life-changing impact on the
students who qualify — and not
only on the qualifying students but
all of American society will benefit

the Cuban children of the 1960s Operation “Pedro Pan” — have amply

our young neighbors a future is a
tremendous waste of human talent

These children talk like Americans — in perfect U.S. accents; they
think like Americans — sometimes
to the consternation of their parents; they certainly eat like Americans.
Will there be 60 senators willing
to be “profiles in courage” so that
these young people can dream like
Americans? ■

In a respect for life, advocacy and justice meet
DEBORAH STAFFORD SHEARER
Responding to synod recommendations to help “forge a common vision” for the Diocese of
Orlando based on a revitalization
and refocusing of objectives to
lead all of us to be better “Witnesses to Hope, Alive in Christ,”
the Respect Life Office has undertaken a new name. Now the
Office of Advocacy and Justice, it
will maintain the same message
of respect for the life and dignity
of all God’s creation.
The mission of the Respect
Life Office has always been and
continues to be educational, providing information on critical
issues, while advocating for just
solutions to social problems, all
within a consistent moral framework of Catholic social teaching.
The new name complements the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ pastoral plan, “A Campaign
in Support of Life,” which “sets
abortion and euthanasia in the
context of other issues involving
threats to human life and dignity
— for example, capital punish-

ment, war, poverty, population
control, child abuse and abandonment, false views of human
sexuality, human cloning, and
research that destroys human
embryos — and calls attention
to the way in which each touches
on the sanctity and dignity of human life.” The words of the new
name articulate this same moral
imperative.
Advocacy and justice are essential components of the Gospel at work and “contribute to
forming a more worthy society,
one more respectful of (human)
rights, based on the principles
of justice and peace” (Pope John
Paul II, “Address to the Laity”).
At the core of these rights and
principles is a profound awareness and understanding that the
weakest and most vulnerable
members of society are dependent on each of us for protection
and development.
As we approach Respect Life
Sunday, Oct. 7, (annually the
first weekend of October, as designated by the U.S. bishops), we
remember that we are called to
change our culture.
Reminded by the readings for
this Sunday, the prophet Habakkuk asks the same question that
reverberates to this very day:
“How long, O Lord? Destruction
and violence are before me.” The
Lord responds with a vision of a
plan that will be fulfilled in its
time through faithfulness and an
adherence to justice. The restoration of human dignity, away from
destruction, to new life in Christ
is intricately connected to this vision of justice and challenges us
to be the builders of evangelizing
communities of faith and solidarity.
Our task as believers and witnesses to hope, alive in Christ is
to proclaim the good news of the
social mission of the church, remembering that we are servants
empowered by the Holy Spirit and
obliged by the Gospel to bear the
light of Christ to a world in darkness and despair.

Diocese of Orlando’s Office of Advocacy and Justice.

HISPANIC
FROM A21
flecting the traditions and customs
of Latin America.
The ceremony was scheduled to
commemorate el Día de la Raza, or
Race Day, which is Oct. 12. This is
also the day Christopher Columbus
landed on an island in the Bahamas and forged a new relationship
between the American continents
and Europe.
“The celebration of el Día de la
Raza is the celebration of Hispanic
identity — an identity forged in a
melting pot of different cultures and
races, baptized in the Catholic and
Apostolic faith,” said Bishop Wenski. “ Every Latin American should
be proud of this identity.”
After the Mass, the celebration
moves to the grounds of the church
where there will be live music, folkloric dancing and food booths representing various Latin American
delicacies.
Cristina Caban has been attending the Hispanic Heritage Mass and
fiesta for more than 10 years and is
on the planning committee for this
year’s event.
“This event is a celebration of our
Hispanic unity and it makes me feel
proud to be a Hispanic Catholic,”
said Caban. ■

Area Catholics pay homage to patroness of Cuba
ARMANDO RODRÍGUEZ
Special to the Florida Catholic
ORLANDO — It was a day of
faith and patriotism. Hundreds
of devotees of Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba, gathered Sept. 8 at the Cathedral of St.
James in Orlando.
“We are here to honor our patroness and to remember our fatherland,” said Wilfrido Aparicio.
Bishop Thomas Wenski concelebrated the Mass, honoring
the feast day with Father Tomás
Hurtado of St. John Vianney Parish in Orlando and Father Rodolfo
Cabrera of St. Jude Parish in Ocala.
“La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre (Our Lady of Charity of Cobre)
is the star that has always guided
the Cuban people — and all those
who put their trust in her — to her
son, Jesus,” Father Hurtado said in
his homily.
He shared the story of a man
from Mexico who asked him to
bless a picture. He was surprised to
see that it was a picture Our Lady
of Charity. The man explained that
after commending himself to Our
Lady of Charity he was able to realize his dream of moving to the
United States. In thanksgiving, he
fulfilled his promise to have the
picture blessed and placed in his
home.
“This is another evidence of the
fact that Our Lady of Charity not
only extends her help to Cubans,
but to anyone who would put trust
in her,” Father Hurtado said.
Florita Figueroa, who is Puerto
Rican, said, “This is my first time
here. The Mass was beautiful.” She
learned about the special Mass
from the diocese’s Spanish-language radio station, Buena Nueva
FM 104.1 Subcarrier. ■

The Gift of Life:
An Oblate Gift Annuity
There has rarely been a better time to consider the many
benefits of a Charitable Gift Annuity with the
Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
• Attractive Rates - When you compare the Oblate Gift Annuity
rates with what you might receive from a certificate of deposit or
your money market account, you will be pleasantly surprised.
The Oblates nurture the poor by easing their hunger, sheltering their
bodies, educating their minds, and inspiring their souls to receive God.
• Lifetime Benefit - An Oblate Gift Annuity is an irrevocable gift
that provides fixed income for the rest of your life.
• Payment Rates - Your payment rates are locked in at the time
your contract is completed. Your income will not fluctuate with
the economy’s highs and lows.
With your Oblate Gift Annuity, you make this mission work possible –
while safely securing a lifetime of income for yourself.
• Simple Process - The Oblates provide you with a contract that
is easy to understand. Detailed tax information is supplied at the time
of the contract and a 1099R tax statement is sent annually in January.
Please send me a one-life gift annuity proposal.
