Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome
Pastor’s Corner
Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica – This feast day
is really the story of the evolution of the Church. Soon after the
Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire,
he passed on this site from the wealthy Lateran family to be a
Cathedral in Rome. The first basilica was built soon after. Though
this structure and its successors suffered fire, earthquake, and the
ravages of war, the Lateran remained the church where popes were
consecrated until popes returned from the Avignon in the
Fourteenth Century. Lateran continues to be “the pope’s church”,
the cathedral for the Diocese of Rome where the Bishop of Rome
presides. The current structure is one of four basilicas in Rome and
was built in 1646. It bears the name St. John Lateran from it’s
patron saints, St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist.
Parish Directory – The new joint parish directory is now
available. Please pick up your copy after weekend mass or stop by
the office to request it. Special thanks to Rhonda Dingmann and
Rita Schroeder in Richmond, and to Teri Kaschmitter and Rene
Kalthoff, and a host of volunteers, for their creative work and
personal attention to including so many parishioner photos and to
administrative detail with the project.
Web Page – The new joint parish web page is now up. Special
thanks to Deb Lampert and Ken Oksendahl in the office in
Richmond for their great care and numerous hours invested in it.
Thank you also to our editors and reviewers from both parishes,
especially Mary Jo Schlick and Karen Pundsack in St. Martin.
Please log onto http://www.ssppr.com/ to see it, and add it as a
“favorite” on your search engines. You can access ministry lists,
have an ongoing calendar of parish events, and be the first to read
the bulletin each week.
Feast of St. Martin of Tours/Veterans Day – Nov 11 is both the
patron feast day of the Church of St. Martin and Veterans Day. Let
us offer our prayers and thanks to those who have served their
country. Let us also pray for the ongoing mission of the Church of
St. Martin. May it aspire to the spiritual depth and integrity of its
patron saint, who is best known for offering a share of his own
cloak to the beggar in the cold. May we, like St. Martin, find Christ
in through our acts of mercy.
Special Thanks – to Mary Jo Schlick for coordinating this year’s
mass of remembrance. Thank you also to Jermayne Mages for
coordinating music and the Richmond choir for joining in. Thank
you to the Befrienders for offering hospitality, and to the crew
providing refreshments. I believe we all found healing in each
other’s presence.
The 2014 Parish Directory has arrived, and is being distributed
after weekend Masses.

Kioinonia Retreat – Are you thinking about doing something for
yourself to enrich your faith journey? Koinonia is a community
experience in Christian living designed especially for adults 20 and
older. It is a Catholic Retreat program (Nov 14-16), sponsored by the
St. Cloud Diocese. It starts at 5:30 PM Friday and ends Sunday evening
about 5:00 PM. See website centralmnkoinonia.org for an application,
or call LeRoy and Mary Lou Raden at 320-293-2080, or email them at
[email protected].
Sunday at the Abbey – is Nov 16, 7:00 PM, Saint John’s Abbey,
Collegeville. The presentation will feature John Thavis speaking on
“The Francis Revolution: Are the Bishops on Board?” Pope Francis
wants to make the Church more a "field hospital" dispensing mercy
and less a fortress defending doctrine, but he faces internal resistance
and outright opposition in some quarters. This fall's Synod of Bishops
offers the first real test of whether the world's bishops will support his
reform agenda.
Catholic Charities annual Make God’s Love Visible Campaign –
Give. Help. Change. Catholic Charities offers services that connect
people with homes, feed the hungry, increase mental health
strengthen families and keep seniors healthy and well. You are
encouraged to join Catholic Charities in making God's Love visible in
Central Minnesota. Any gift you choose to give will stay right here in
Central Minnesota, to give our neighbors a hand, help those in need
and change lives.

Your mission awaits – Through the sacrament of Baptism, we’re called
and empowered by God to continue the mission of Jesus. Each of us has
received unique gifts of the Spirit for this mission. After all, such an
expansive mission requires diverse gifts—different skills, personalities,
perspectives, abilities! But there can also be challenges. It can be
tempting to compare the gifts of one person or group with those of
another. Do they measure up? Do we measure up? Are some people
holier? The good news of Baptism is that we’re all called to holiness. We
all measure up! We’re all needed to bring about love, peace, and justice.
How will you embrace your baptismal call today? -Take Five for Faith
