St. Boniface Eucharistic Day of Prayer
The Day before First Friday, Each Month
August 14, 2016
Friends,
The Solemnity of the Assumption is this Monday. I am
offering Mass in Elgin on Monday morning at 11:30 am.
(with the school students) and at 7:00 pm in Raeville. Even
though this year it is not considered a "holy day of
obligation" since it lands on a Monday, I hope you can
attend Mass. Not only as it gives honor to our Mother, but
also reminds us of the wonders God does for us as well.
On Thursday, August 18th, we will be going back to the
7:20 am daily Mass time. This is with the exception of the
Tuesday Raeville Mass and the school Masses. Always refer
to the bulletin as things may change from week to week.
Thank you to Dave & Janice Eischeid and Duane Hoefer
who recently fulfilled their term on the St. Boniface
Stewardship and Evangelization Committee, and to Dave
Kerkman, and Jake & Kari Schindler who said "yes" to
becoming new members.
Religious Education begins the end of August. Family
Formation (gr. 1-6) begins Wednesday, August 31 with
Mass celebrated at 6:30 pm and the class to follow from
7:00-8:00 pm. If you wish to send your child/children and
are not already registered, please call coordinator Cheryl
Veik at 402-843-8023. Sunday Youth Group (gr. 7-12) will
meet Sunday, September 25 after the 10:00 am Mass.
Please call coordinator Louise Schindler at 402-843-5375 to
register or for more information.
Thank you to the many men’s and women’s circles and
committees who have been doing work in our parish
lately!
Next Saturday, August 20 I will be officially installed as
your pastor of St. Bonaventure and St. Boniface, by
Archbishop Lucas at the St. Boniface 5:30 pm Mass. I
would like to invite members of both parishes to attend.
The parish staff, trustees and parish council members from
both parishes are asked to sit toward the front of church
during Mass. An installation ceremony occurs every time a
new pastor comes to a parish, but may be more or less
formal. Having it as part of a Sunday Mass helps to
acknowledge how a change in pastor is significant in the
life of a parish, and that as your new pastor, I have the
responsibility of being attentive to your pastoral needs and
in assisting you in following Christ. Immediately following
will be a light meal in the church basement, so all are
invited to attend. We will have more tables set up in the
basement to accommodate the crowd, and will also have a
picnic table outside for the young people to sit on if they
wish. I’m happy that Archbishop Lucas will be spending the
evening with us!
