From the Pastor
A cute little girl was holding two apples, one on each hand.
Her mom came in and softly asked her daughter with a smile,
“Sweetie, could you give Mommy one of your apples?” The
girl looked at her mother for a few seconds, then suddenly took
a bite of one of the apples; then, just as quickly, she took a bite
of the other one. The mom felt the smile on her face freeze and
tried hard not to show her disappointment. Then her daughter
soon handed her one of the bitten apples and said, “Here you
are Mommy, this is the sweeter one!”
When I was ordained forty years ago June 1, it wasn’t all
sweetness that was handed to me. And while I was not
promised all sweetness either, in my naïveté, I kind of
suspected that it would be. Now, as I look back, much of the
sweetness as well as the not-so-much were in large part due to
my own choices. Those of you who have come to celebrate
with me today (and those who are with me in spirit from a
distance) represent all the grace that has come to me from
relationships that God has invited me to form. Every one of you
has been sent into my life to reveal a unique dimension of the
vastness that is God. For that I am eternally grateful. You
remind me daily that God has not only handed me an apple, but
an orchard. The blessings far outweigh the challenges; the joys
far surpass the disappointments.
The feast of the Trinity reminds us this weekend that even God
exists in relationship; the very being of God exists because of
love that is shared. To encounter that God, then, is to allow
myself to both love and be loved, to share myself and let others
in. May all of us continue to do that—creating and building up
the Church into a true community of disciples, so that God will
be praised and we will know the sweetness of God’s love in our
every day! Thanks again to those who have supported me on
the journey of these forty years. While I have thought that I had
entered the Promised Land many years ago, I may be just
entering now after forty years of wandering. Whichever is the
case, know that I am profoundly grateful that I have never
wandered alone, not for one moment, thanks to all of you.
And just as an aside, when I was ordained on June 1, 1975, at
Holy Name Church in Kimberly, it was a sunny, 79-degree day.
Bishop Wycislo ordained me; Pope Paul VI was in Rome
(he couldn’t make it; neither could President Ford, but several
others were on hand). The Vietnam War had officially ended,
Margaret Thatcher had just taken over the reins in England, and
Jimmy Hoffa had disappeared. Elvis had just left the building
and the average new home sold for $39,300, with the average
income being $14,100. A new Ford Mustang sold for $4,105
and the Dow Jones hovered around 800. We are in a different
place today, yet that which was most important then and is
most important now (family, faith, friendship) remains the
same. The world still rotates around the sun and God keeps on
recreating it with greater grandeur and glory; thus, may we
continue to always give praise to our Triune God for blessings
and challenges! Thanks again, Gracious God, for these past
forty years and for every moment of every day that we walk
hand in hand to your kingdom!

Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven
and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." - Mt 28:18-19

Most Holy
Trinity
Deacon
Bob Beehner
“Make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the father, and the
son, and the Holy Spirit”
It was great getting together with everyone
this past Memorial Day weekend. My
daughter Kathy and her husband have two
little girls of their own. Their youngest
daughter, Emily, is a good baby and she
smiles a lot. I was surprised to be told that
she looks a lot like my mom in her eyes. My
mom passed away last year and I often will
think of how I miss her. But when I looked
hard into Emily’s eyes, I did start to see the
resemblance. And while I was looking at
her like this, Emily broke into one of her big
smiles. I was struck deeply by the memory
of my mom’s smile.
Our memories may not be as good as we
think they are and this is why a trinitarian
God, who is one, is so incredibly helpful to
us. Jeremiah the prophet says in God’s
words: “Before I formed you in your
mother’s womb, I knew you.” And did
God smile at our individual formation?
Of course…but I don’t remember. And in a
small town to a chosen people, God
physically came to us. To help our failing
memories we have so many words that were
written down with inspiration: the whole
New Testament. As Jesus sends us forth in
this Gospel reading, could he as be looking
at us in love? That is, is he smiling?
Our everyday experience of God is in the
Holy Spirit, who is in us. I was caught off
guard by the memory of my mom’s smile
coming through in my granddaughter this
weekend; yet shouldn’t I have realized that
my own smile of love is the Holy Spirit of
God shining through? Someday, will my
daughter be struck with the memory of my
smile? Does the love of God come through
us in this way? For Jesus said “I am with
you always to the end of the age.” I think I
saw that love in Emily’s smile.

PARISH SUPPORT

Media Ministers Needed
Communication is important when you have a message as important as the Gospel. St. Francis of Assisi
is becoming a congregation that is embracing the 21st
century. We are striving to become a congregation that
communicates a message of grace and love not just
through our spoken word but through the many lines
of communication that this highly connected world
has to offer.
G
o therefo
Go,
therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the

And Pope Francis' says…
Three phrases he often recommends families use frequently: May I? Thank you. Forgive me.
The words are simple, he said, and hearing the pope advise their frequent use could make someone smile at first.
"But when we forget them, it's no laughing matter, right?"
"We must be uncompromising in educating people in gratitude and
thanksgiving," the pope said. "If family life ignores this, our social
life will lose as well."
In addition, he said, "for believers, gratitude is at the very heart of
faith. A Christian who does not know how to give thanks is one
who has forgotten God's language."
"Listen up, eh," he told the estimated 25,000 people in the square,
and repeated the sentence.
Pope Francis said a "very wise" woman once told him, "'gratitude is a plant that grows only in the soil of noble
souls.' The nobility of soul, the grace of God, pushes one to give thanks. Gratitude is the flower of a noble soul."

We Welcome You to St. Francis of Assisi Parish Community!
·
·
·
Our most important involvement in the parish community is our presence at the Sunday Eucharist—
“the source and summit of our life in Christ”.
Our parish Christian stewardship is based on prayer, service, and sharing. We are called to give back to God as
generously as God has given to us.
If you wish to find out more about our parish community, please contact the parish office, or complete this form and
drop in the collection basket at Mass. You will be contacted by a member of the parish staff.
