THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
MAY 16 - 17, 2015
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
“When He had said this, as they were looking on, He
was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their sight.”
-Acts of the Apostles
No doubt, for those of you
that are attending Mass this
weekend on Saturday at 5:00
P.M. or Sunday morning at 8:00
A.M., you might be wondering
where the pastor might be? I am
spending (at least part of) the
weekend with my entire family (U.S. side) at my niece’s
wedding near the Twin Cities. This is my first niece that is
getting married in the Catholic Church. Since my brothers
and sisters now reside in four states, it is something special
when we can all be together in the same place, at least for a
little while. The wedding is a joyful moment in the life of
the van de Crommert family, but even more so when we can
get a chance to all be together.
I still can remember with such clarity the weekend I took
off from college in February, in my senior year at St. John’s,
to attend my brother’s wedding who will now be the fatherof-the-bride this weekend. As he and his bride ascended the
steps to exchange their vows, rings and promises of a
life-time of fidelity, it too was a new chapter in our family
of origin. Since we had no other family in this country, it
was an adjustment for family life, that now English had to
be spoken 100% as the in-laws were here. For a long time it
felt more like company had come and not family.
With the next generation stepping forward to enter into
marriage and family life, no doubt it will be a time again of
reflection and contemplation as our family enters into
another new chapter with new in-laws and new last names
and more individuals who are strangers, but will become
family and shirt-tale relation.
This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord.
We celebrate Christ ascending into the clouds to be reunited
with His heavenly Father. No doubt, as the disciples
watched this miraculous encounter take place, they too
realized that they had entered into a “new chapter” as
members of the family of God and new fledgling Church
of Christ.
Just as in any marriage there can be expected the Paschal
Mystery of both joys and sorrows, so too, in the spiritual life.
For just as Christ is “wedded” once again to heaven, and the
apostles are once again “wedded” to the work of building up
the Church, so too, they faced many joys and equally many
sorrows that included martyrdom and death.
For many of us, we have ascended and descended the
sanctuary steps to receive a vocational sacrament. For many,
our next great spiritual ascension is from this life to the hope
of life eternal. How important it is then for us to make sound
spiritual use of the finite time that we have remaining on the
earth to give our heart, our lives, our actions and our very
selves to Christ, so that one day we might ascend beyond
this earth as well to everlasting life. A Blessed Ascension to
you all!

STEWARDSHIP
We made budget again this week and more than
$6,000.00 higher in one week than a year ago! Wow!
Thank you so much! Your generosity is amazing and will
allow us to possibly take on some needed repair projects
this summer in and around the church and school. I am so
grateful to all of you that have taken on the “stewardship
courage” to use the “electronic giving” as your primary
means of stewardship. As you can see by the collection, it
makes such a big difference for our weekly support.
Again, if you plan to be gone a great deal this summer,
electronic giving might be something that you would
consider. Our bookkeeper, Jim Theuninck, would be more
than happy to help you in this area.
WELCOME VISITING MISSIONARY
Each year, the Diocese of New Ulm welcomes
missionaries to each parish to come and speak about the
needs of the poorer regions of the Church in this country and
around the world. We are pleased to welcome Fr. Anthony
Muthu from the Heralds of Good News, out of Barbourville,
Kentucky. We are grateful for Father’s message and
ministry this weekend at Holy Rosary. If you wish to make
a direct donation to the work of his community, you may
send your check directly to the order at St. Gregory Catholic
Church, 329 Sycamore Drive, Barbourville, KY 40906
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
“Try to serve the Lord with all your heart and
with all your will. He will always bless you more
than you deserve.”
-St. Padre Pio
THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
PARISH AUCTION THANK YOU!
What a wonderful and exciting
evening we had last Wednesday
evening. It felt like the “Antique Road
Show”, with the great crowd and so
many items. The only difference is
that people were buying the items and taking them home for
their use and enjoyment!
I want to say a special word of thanks to Jim Theuninck
who did so much organization and calling for the cause, as
well as to Elaine, our parish secretary who did a superb job
getting the word out to the parishes, advertising in the
papers, getting out the posters, and helping with all of the
last minute details.
I also wish to thank all of the folks who helped last
Saturday morning filling up the gym with items. It was
backbreaking work and we are most grateful for their
behind-the-scenes efforts. I also wish to thank the women
who came to price all of the items for the garage sale, the
CCW women who brought bars & cookies, Frank & Connie
Weber for the meal, Craig Amundson for the beverages, as
well as all who served at the auction/garage sale and helped
with the clean-up.
It was a fun evening and reminded me of the many fall
festivals I worked and helped in organizing and executing.
It was a great night of fellowship and fund-raising. God
bless you all for being such good sports and helping a great
cause! You are great!
BAPTISMAL BLESSINGS
Our prayers and best wishes go out to
Jeremiah and Danielle Hess on the
occasion of Baptism of their daughter,
Freya Isabel, who will be baptized this
Sunday here at Holy Rosary. May this
sacrament of initiation be the beginning of a life-time
relationship with Christ, His Church and the Holy
Eucharist. God bless you all!
SPRING COMMUNAL ANOINTING
Holy Rosary Church is planning two spring communal
anointing services for our seniors and those who are in a
health situation that would benefit from the healing holy oil
of the Sacrament of the Sick. The first communal anointing
will be held on Thursday, June 4th, during the Mass at
10:15 A.M. at Pathstone care facility (the address of
Pathstone is 718 Mound Ave, Mankato, MN 56001.) The
second communal anointing will be held on Monday, June
8th, during Mass at 4:00 P.M. and followed by a potluck
supper in the church basement at 5:00 P.M. Please plan to
attend. The next communal anointing will be later this year
in the late fall or early winter!

ANNUAL BLESSING OF THE BIKES –
SATURDAY MAY 30TH!
When we have arrived in May we
have not only arrived in the spring of
the year, but it is also a time to spring
on top of your bike. “It is easy as
riding a bike” is not always a true statement. Following the
5:00 P.M. Mass, May 30th, I will offer a prayer and bless all
the bikes of young and old around 6:00 P.M.
More than 700 people are killed annually in bicycle
accidents in the United States alone. This averages to about
two Americans dying every day from bicycle accidents! We
need to have a blessing (and to wear our helmet) to insure
that we will be able to ride our bike for many years to come.
Please plan to park your bikes on the north lawn of the
church. Treats will be provided for all who participate! We
hope to see you there!!!

provided housing for the three day visit, Loyola Food
Service and our Board of Trustees provided meals and

ongoing self-study process with a visit every five years, is
not only a verification of what we do well, but a commitment
to continuous improvement.
Loyola second graders celebrated in thanksgiving for
the gift of their First Holy Communion at our school Mass
last week. Baccalaureate Mass for our seniors was on

FROM THE MANKATO SERRA CLUB
CHRIST SPOKE OF THE TALENTS each
one of us has, talents which must not buried. Our
calling is to take those talents, develop them
fully, and then use them in establishing His
kingdom on earth. Are you using your talents to fulfill your
vocation to service? Are you an active Christian in the
parish, at your workplace, and in the home? Take some time
today to reflect on how you might use your special talents in
the service of the Kingdom.
Pray for Vocations to the priesthood and all religious
life. The number of men to be ordained to the priesthood in
the United States this year could exceed the number from
the previous year by more than 100. If all the men preparing
for ordination do in fact receive the Sacrament of Holy
Orders this year, the total would be 595. That's a 25%
increase over the 477 that were ordained in 2014.

religious vocations for more information call 507.696.8119.

RICE BOWL THANK YOU
Dear Holy Rosary Parishioners,
Thank you for your generous
gift to Catholic Relief Services.
Your recent donation of $986.01
received on April 22, 2015 provides
vital support to CRS. Your
contribution is essential to our efforts to alleviate
human suffering and ease the burdens of overwhelming
poverty overseas.
It is clear to me that you are as compassionate as the
Good Samaritan in the Gospels of Jesus Christ. Rest assured
your good deed is a godsend to our most vulnerable brothers
and sisters around the world. We are blessed to have you as
a member of the CRS family.
I am inspired that you have chosen to reach far beyond
the bounds of your own community to care for perfect
strangers in such great need. On behalf of all those touched
by your compassion, I offer my deepest gratitude and wish
you an abundance of blessings and joys.
May blessings overflow,
Dr. Carolyn Y. Woo, President & CEO

FOR GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS
Students, stay Connected with your Catholic Faith
when you go off to college. The NEWMAN
CONNECTION High School Outreach Program helps
you connect with your local Catholic College Campus
Ministry. When students are entered into the NEWMAN
CONNECTION database, their information will
automatically be sent to the local Catholic Campus
Ministry (Newman Center or local Catholic Parish’s college
youth group when there is not a Newman Center on
Campus). The Campus Minister can then reach out
and contact the student to invite them to their activities
on Campus. This effort has met with great success.
Let’s keep our students connected to their Catholic Faith
during their College years.
If you have a graduating High School Student
this year, please get them connected with their
Catholic campus ministry by contacting Cathy
Ahern,
ckahern@charter.net,
or
Dolores
Portz,
dolpor@hotmail.com, with your student’s name and choice
of College/University (with location) that they will be
attending this fall. Sponsored by the Mankato Serra Club.
