(Luke 10:27)
Dear Friends in Christ,
First of all, thank you so very much for a very nice and warm welcome to
our Parish Family. I say ours, as I feel that I am home. I know I will need to
work on many things and discover many ways this parish operates on, but
I believe that with God’s blessing and your help all will be fine. Thank you
for your encouragement. The ride on the 4th of July Parade was a great
experience, and was good to hear some of you cheer us up as we drove
by. I am already looking forward to the next year.
As I reflect on this Sunday’s readings, I cannot help but to reflect on the
last part of the quote above. We have spent many moments reflecting on
how we love God, how we serve him and how can we do it better. Our
Catholic Way of Life calls us to make the love of God our daily routine. We
should not need a special moment to do that, but we need to live as it was
just a normal everyday routine. I would say, time with God should be just
familiar to us as is our morning routine, or as is our work routine. The
quote however does not end with our call to love God only. It also calls us
to love our neighbor as ourselves.
This little quote means to me a lot. It calls me to keep balance in my life.
Serving God is very important, serving the neighbor is very important as
well. But before we can really serve the neighbor, we need to remember to
nurture ourselves. This balance in the love of God, neighbor and ourselves
helps us to keep our faith alive and strong. After all is rather difficult to
share what one does not have. What I have seen so far in our parish, I
believe you are on the right track, I see many of you are already involved
in spiritual growth. I see you have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on
Wednesdays, with prayers throughout the day. I have heard from some of
the parish leaders about the study opportunities and prayer groups. Some
of you are even part of the Veritatis Splendor Institute. Very impressive.
Liturgy and Prayer
Sunday Liturgy:
Anticipation Mass Saturday, 5:00 PM
Sunday, 9:00 AM & 6:00 PM
Daily Liturgy:
Tuesday through Friday: 8:00 AM
Eucharistic Adoration:
Wednesday, 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM
Sacrament of Reconciliation:
Wednesday, 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Saturday, 3:30 – 4:30 PM
Please know that we need to take care of ourselves before we reach out to
others. Sometimes we have many good intentions, but then we get burned
out, only because we forgot to nurture our souls. Remember, even Jesus
spent time in solitude and on prayer. I invite you to discover new ways to
nurture your souls and hearts, as we prepare ourselves and continue to
serve God and our neighbor.
In Christ, Fr. Andrzej

Humanae Vitae 48th Anniversary
The Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be
protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if
human rights are protected and responsibilities are met.
Therefore, every person has a fundamental right to life and
a right to those things required for human decency.
Corresponding to these rights are duties and
responsibilities--to one another, to our families, and to the
larger society. www.usccb.org
On July 25, 2016, the Church will celebrate the 48
Anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s encyclical on married love,
Humanae Vitae, a timeless teaching, which is incredibly
timely today. Pope Paul VI predicted that contraception
would lead to a myriad of unintended consequences
including marital infidelity, lower moral standards, a
lessening of the “reverence due to a woman” and
increased interference by the government into “the most
personal and intimate responsibility of husband and wife.”
Unfortunately, one doesn’t need to be a social scientist to
see that his warnings were sadly prophetic. But there is
hope. St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body increased
the Church’s understanding of the beauty of married love,
and scientific advances in Natural Family Planning have
made it possible to responsibly live out the call to authentic
st
married love in the 21 century. Come find out and
celebrate how the timeless, yet timely, teaching of the
Church is more relevant today than ever. Join us for a
Celebration of Humanae Vitae, NFP and Married Love
Including a Talk, Holy Hour and Reception at St. Joseph
Catholic Church in Spearfish, July 25 from 6:30-8:30 PM.
Jail Ministry
On occasion we like to share with you information about
our Hope For New Life members. We have been blessed
recently with the addition of Father Ed Witt from the Parish
of St. Isaac Jogues to our ministry. He describes his jail
ministry experience as follows: "In addition to serving as
Catholic Chaplain for the Rapid City Police Department, for
the past three months I have accompanied members of
Hope For New Life Jail Ministry. I have been very
impressed by the men and women of this ministry. My only
other experience of this kind of ministry was back in the
1990s when I assisted a fellow Jesuit at the prison in
Waupon, Wisconsin. My role then was to hear
Confessions and preside at Eucharist. Under the current
circumstances, unfortunately, I am unable to offer
Eucharist at the Pennington County Jail. However, I have
heard Confessions at the jail. In the future I am hoping that
we will be able to offer the Eucharist or conduct
Communion services. In the meantime, I see my primary
role as a support for the Hope For New Life team. I think
that it is important that HFNL continue to be a lay driven
ministry rather than a clerical one." To learn more about
the HFNL ministry please contact Bill Gradoville (3412721).
