Ascension of the Lord
St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Manitowoc
May 8, 2016 ♦ page 1
From the
Pastor
A new business was opening and one of the owner’s
friends wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They
arrived at the new business site and the owner read the
card, “Rest in Peace.” The owner was quite confused and
called the florist to check it out. After he had told the
florist of the obvious mistake, the florist replied, “Ma’am,
I am truly sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting
upset, picture this…somewhere there is a funeral taking
place today and they have flowers with a note saying,
“Congratulations on your new location.”
I’m not sure if flowers were sent to Mary and Joseph
(although tradition suggests that he had already died) when
Jesus was crucified, but as we celebrate the feast of
the Ascension, either note on the bouquet might be
appropriate. At least until further review. Is Jesus really in
a new location or is the risen Christ present among us?
Do I conveniently place Jesus in a faraway heaven so he
has little or no impact on my day-to-day life or do I allow
him to be an integral part of my every conscious moment?
Does what I believe touch the simple and profound choices
I make each day or do I relegate him to a time in history
which has little to do with now?
The Ascension is kind of like a graduation. “It’s over and
I’m outta here” can be my mantra or “I will take with me
all that these hallowed halls have formed in me.” Jesus
never intended to leave us orphaned; rather, through his
Spirit, he is with us now just as much as when he walked
the roads of Galilee. If he seems gone and unconcerned,
the problem is with my vision and my awareness, not with
his plan or presence. May we look at the Ascension for
what it truly is—not a farewell, but a new way of being
present in our lives!
In the risen Christ,
Mother's Day Prayer
Loving God, you wrap your arms around your
people and show your everlasting love in the
same way a mother loves her children.
We are grateful for the love you have taught
us through the mothers in our lives: our own
mother who brought us into this world, the
mothers of friends who have welcomed us into
their homes and families, our grandmothers
who took time for us, and the mothers who
have helped us even though we were not
their children.
Bless all the mothers of this world
today. May they know the fullness of love
they have shared and be blessed every
day of their lives. Amen.
Mother’s Day Roses
Happy Mother’s Day. Still need
something for Mom, Grandma, or
another special woman in your life?
Roses are available today at all of the
church exits for a donation of $2.00 per
rose or 6 roses for $10.00. Proceeds from this event
will be used to sponsor scholarships for teens to the
March for Life Pilgrimage to Washington, DC in
January 2017. Thank you for helping the Respect
Life Committee in raising awareness to the dignity of
all human life from conception to natural death.
Mission Statement

Through this Paschal Season
The seasons have “passed over” from winter
to spring. We began, marked with a cross of
ashes, the result of fire in the burning of old
blessed palm. Now as we end the season
celebrating the fire of the coming of the Spirit – a fire
which burns within us. You are invited for this feast of
Pentecost, on May 14 & 15, to wear red or other colors
of flame, the colors which symbolizes the intense love and
fire of the Holy Spirit. Through our celebrations we too
have “passed over” into a fuller living of life in Christ.

The Ascension
of the
Lord
Ruthann Ross
Pastoral Associate
On this Mother’s Day; we hear the Gospel
story of Jesus’ Ascension to Heaven.
The words: “As Jesus blessed them he parted
from them and was taken up to heaven” may
cause you to look up. In doing so today, you
may look up into the eyes of your own
mother or perhaps up to heaven where your
mother now lives in eternity. Either way,
today we think of our mothers, we honor
them and we give thanks and praise for the
great love and care they extend to us. What
better way to honor them, than to look up
when we think of them – whether we view
them on a pedestal or in heaven where they
now live in eternity. We pause and reflect on
the many wonderful ways our mothers have
shown their unconditional love for us and we
give thanks to God for the gift of that love.
This is a day to consider how our mothers
strive for peace, in our homes, in our families,
in the community and in the world. We
treasure the priceless gift of faith she has
passed on to us, a gift she likely received
from her mother - our grandmothers, whom
we also remember today with deep affection.
On this day, we take time to celebrate our
mothers, to thank them for a life filled with
many beautiful events, memories and
blessings. We celebrate those still here with
us today as well as those who have gone to
heaven. And we give thanks too for the
precious gift of our grandmothers, aunts,
sisters and for all women who have had a
special role in our lives.
When you celebrate your Mother today –
look up – there you will understand the great
gift of Mother, the love of God and the
presence of the Risen Christ!
Let us pray today for all mothers and for all
women, because in some way, all women
have been a mother to someone!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Chelsea Stangel ‘07, Ben Stelzer ‘11, Lucas Waak ‘12, Greg Jahnke (Coach 1976-2013), & Sue (Schneider)
Schmitt (Coach 1973-2004). Congratulations to all the inductees.
On Saturday, April 30th, Roncalli celebrated its 32nd annual Pierside Auction. To begin the night,
a mass was held celebrated by alumnus Father Carl Schmitt. We would like to thank the many,
many volunteers that made this year’s auction another success. The goal of each year’s auction
is to raise over $200,000 to support tuition assistance to make Roncalli accessible to all students.

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.
