From the Deacon’s Desk
Festival Weekend is Here!
I would like to welcome all our parishioners and guests to our 3rd Annual St. Paul Parish
Festival. I can still remember when Larry Zalewski walked into my office three years ago and
asked me if we could have a parish festival. I told Larry that I would love to start a parish
festival at St. Paul and that I would love to see him organize the first one. The rest, as they say,
is history.
It is now our third year already and it continues to grow and gain support from our parishioners and community
members. I believe an event such as this truly strengthens the parish family. It is through the wonderful efforts of
working together that we help make St. Paul Parish an even better place to worship God and provide opportunities for
all to strengthen our relationship with Christ.
In this weekend’s Gospel, Jesus says “Do not work for food that perishes, but that brings eternal life.” We know that
Jesus did not speak specifically of the objective food that we eat, but of the Eucharistic, the very gift of Jesus himself
that brings us together as we celebrate Mass each week. Our yearly festival brings us together as well, especially as
we make the Mass the focal point of our celebrations. Each year, I meet even more people who come to our festival to
reacquaint themselves with family and friends. I recently read a study that shared a couple of interesting points about
spending time together.
1) People who spend time with other people tend to be happier, but equally important is with whom who they spend
time. The greatest happiness levels include spending time with friends, family, and significant others.
2) What you do with your time is crucial in determining happiness. Socializing is one of the best activities for
increasing happiness levels.
At our Parish Festival this year spend some quality time with your family and friends and especially take some time at
the Mass in prayer with Jesus himself. The relationships that we nurture in this life, especially with Jesus Christ himself, will help to prepare us for the gift of eternal life, the gift Christ promises to all of us who love him and receive
him always in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
God’s Blessings, Deacon Jim
On Our Way to Rome Next September
I recently promised my wife Leigh Ann that after 18 years of marriage, I would take her on a vacation that did not involve
hunting or fishing. In September of 2016, I will live up to that promise. We are planning to lead a group from our area,
along with Footprints of God DVD series host Stephen Ray, to Rome for the canonization of Blessed Mother Theresa.
Leigh Ann and I have long been inspired by the writings and books of Mother Theresa and the way she lived out her life. It
will truly be an honor to be in Rome for her canonization and it will be an honor to have Stephen Ray as our tour guide for
the trip. The Vatican has not yet released the specific dates for the canonization as of yet. If you would be interested in
joining us on the pilgrimage to Rome and the canonization of Mother Theresa, please contact Deacon Jim at the parish
office.
Kid’s Question of the Week
This weekend’s question: In today’s Gospel, what is the name of the food that God sent
to the Israelites when they were in the desert?
Last Week’s Question and Answer: In the Gospel, what did the small boy have that Jesus
took, blessed it and was able to feed all the people? 5 loaves and 2 fish
Stop by and see Deacon Jim after Mass and give him the answer to receive a small treat.

seminarian collection. Last week or this coming week, you will have received a letter from Bishop
Ricken requesting you help in supporting our local seminarians. Please return the collection
envelope through the mail along with your generous contribution. A gift of $25, $100, $250, $500 or
more will help our local seminarians do what they need to do in order to prepare for ministry at the

board, health insurance, support of the Office of Vacations and the work of Fr. Daniel Schuster and Fr. Quinn Mann.
The past ten years have made a real difference, and the future looks faith-filled and bright as well. To make your

Planned Parenthood Caught in FOURTH VIDEO
Showing the Horrific Practices of Selling Aborted Baby Organs
Another new Planned Parenthood expose video has been released, making this the fourth revealing hidden camera
video in total. The Center for Medical Progress claims to have hours upon hours of footage exposing Planned Parenthood of selling aborted baby organs.
The videos released earlier this week, revealed the actual "tissue dissecting" process. The latest video again
features Dr. Savita Ginde, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains' Vice President and Medical Director
.
Ginde's affiliate of Planned Parenthood performs over 10,000 abortions a year and has a contract with the Colorado
State University to supply fetal body parts. Ginde, once again, discusses with "potential tissue buyers" all the
logistics that go into procuring the baby parts and the pricing she wants.
"I know I've seen livers, I've seen stomachs, I've seen plenty of neural tissue. Usually you can see the whole brain
come out," Ginde explains.
"But you want mostly over 14s?" she asks the buyer, referring to babies at 14 weeks. "Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact."
This means she just admitted to using potentially born-alive infants for her tissue selling.
According to the Center for Medical Progress, "Since PPRM [Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains] does not
use digoxin or other feticide in its 2nd trimester procedures, any intact deliveries before an abortion are potentially
born-alive infants under federal law (1 USC 8)."
When asked about the legal issues of selling the aborted baby organs, Ginde refers back to Dr. Deborah Nucatola
from the first released Planned Parenthood expose.
"Putting it under 'research' gives us a little bit of an overhang over the whole thing," Ginde openly states in the video.
"If you have someone in a really anti state who's going to be doing this for you, they're probably going to get caught."
"He's got it figured out that he knows that even if, because we talked to him in the beginning, you know, we were
like, 'We don't want to get called on,' you know, 'selling fetal parts across states,'" Ginde continues referring to
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains' lawyer, Kevin Paul.
"And you feel confident that they're building those layers?" asked the "buyer."
"I'm confident that our Legal will make sure we're not put in that situation," replied Ginde.
Different from the other videos, this new one features more footage from inside the lab. However, this time it is more
intense. According to Stream.org, viewers may hear a cracking sound of an aborted fetus' skull, and Ginde stating,
"It's a baby," while pointing out the different organs and going over per-item pricing.
As Planned Parenthood pulls out little baby eyeballs, kidneys, the stomach and the heart,
it is identified in the end with the statement, "Another boy!"

Knowing Your Catholic Faith
This weekend at our parish festival, we are celebrating Mass with Polka Music. This is commonly called a
Polka Mass. I wanted to share some information I found on how the Polka Mass came to be in the Catholic
Church.
Father Frank Perkovich popularized the Polka Mass and turned it into a new tradition at nationality festivals around
the country. His "Songs and Hymns from the Polka Mass" recordings are the most widely-sold Cleveland-Style polka
albums in recent decades.
Father Frank Perkovich was born in Chisholm, Minnesota, in the Iron Range, and grew up enjoying the Slovenian and
Croatian music he heard at home and in his neighborhood. He was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1954 and was
assigned to area parishes before arriving at Resurrection Church in Eveleth in 1970.
Changes in worship, following the Vatican II Council, inspired Father George Balasko to debut the first Polka Mass
in Lowellville, Ohio, in 1972 with favorite polka and waltz melodies performed by a band with lyrics from the
liturgy. Father Perkovich contacted him and set out to style his own version with music by accordionist Joe Cvek and
the Polka Masters, and lyrics adapted by Mary Cvek. Father Perkovich celebrated his first Polka Mass in 1973 and,
inspired by the warm reception recorded it with Cvek and his orchestra. His Polka Mass became an immediate
sensation and earned headlines. Festivals soon invited "Father Perk" and the Cvek musicians for appearances. Both
Polka Mass releases sold more than 100,000 copies.
Father Perk premiered the Polka Mass in Slovenia and Croatia in 1975. He was also invited to celebrate the Mass at the inauguration of Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich. In
I982 Father Perk even created an ecumenical Polka Mass with a Lutheran church. His
greatest honor came in 1983 when he presented the Polka Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in
Rome. Pope John Paul II gave his personal approval to Father Perk in an audience.
In 2004, Father Perk retired from active ministry and documented his experiences in a
personal memoir "Dancing A Polka To Heaven". He was featured in the TV Slovenia
documentary, "Polka! The Movie", and gained new fans in Slovenia and at film festivals.
Thanks to Father Perkovich's enthusiasm, the Polka Mass today is featured at celebrations
and special occasions in parishes and neighborhoods across North America. Polka bands
may adapt his form with melodies and instrumentation to suit a particular ethnicity but the
Polka Mass uniquely engages communities within the church with familiar melodies presented with reverence.
