MALLIA’S MOMENTS
By Fr. Joe Mallia
This Fifth Sunday of Lent, we are encouraged to reflect upon the idea of dying to self, a concept which often brings about some very diverse thinking on the part
of some people. The best way for most people to apply
the concept to their own lives is for each person to delineate between what I want and what I need.
Too often, as people, we tend to try to satisfy the
“wants” of people’s lives. How often have we heard or
even said about a crying baby, “what does he want?”
To placate a child we are willing to give them whatever
they want in the hope of making them happy and we do
make them happy-for about two minutes. But that is the
problem with this kind of behavior towards children or
ourselves. It makes us happy for a short period of time
but it never satisfies the longings in our lives.
The more we are able to satisfy the “needs” of our
lives and control the “wants” we will find in fact that the
wants become significantly less powerful and we are
able to avoid them more easily. This discipline of self
gives us greater freedom and more control over the urges we can feel. It provides us with the ability to have
greater impact on our decision making which isn’t driven by impulses but by conscious decisions.
Dying to self is not a negative thing but very life giving in fact. If we only see it as denying ourselves of
things that we want and that we should always get what
we want, then yes, it is negative and very hard. But if
we are more motivated by our needs we will see it as a
great positive in our lives. I know personally for example, that by not getting everything I want, I have more
control over my finances and so I have what I need and I
am able to do more with less money. If a person can
control their desire to eat out often, or go to the casino
for example, they are able to live a better life and be
able to help others. If I control my desire to eat a cookie
and eat a carrot or a piece of fruit instead, I am benefitting my health.
In simple ways we all can find ways to die to self and
control ourselves and thus benefit. Maybe we should
all try this week to overcome our wants and focus only
on our needs. If we can do it in small matters we will
then be able to do it with larger one as well. God bless.
Our guests are coming: Again this year we will be hosting our brothers and sisters who are not as fortunate as
we are through the good work of Christnet. We will be
hosting them during holy week-as if there was a better
time of the year to share our home with those who have
no home physically or spiritually. Please sign up today
or this week to help in some way. It is a great way for
families to serve together.
Planning for holy week: As I do each year, I want to encourage all of you to take some time now to plan how
you will be celebrating holy week. I hope that it will include time of prayer at church. I want to invite your to
attend Mass on Holy Thursday when we celebrate the
Lord’s Last Supper. At this Mass we have the traditional washing of the feet with our own unique twist. If you
have never been to this Mass and if you are struggling
in your life or in your relationship with God, I especially
want to encourage you to come and most importantly
have your foot washed at Mass. This is a very grace
filled moment for many people who have experienced
this beautiful liturgy. After Mass there is adoration until
midnight. Our parish church is open on Good Friday
from about 11:30 am till 5:00 for private prayer. The
adoration chapel is closed starting Holy Thursday
night. There are various prayers to join in on and time
for private refection. People stay for the whole time
and others only for a few minutes, but it is important if
you can get here to give thanks for our salvation. Finally, I want to encourage you to attend the Easter Vigil on
Holy Saturday night or Easter Sunday Mass. The vigil
is long, I will not lie but it is also the most beautiful liturgy of the year as we bless the new Easter light, recall
salvation history, welcome new members into the Catholic Church and share in the joy of the resurrection.
Again, all are invited to attend any of our Masses and I
hope to see you there. If you are going away, I hope
that you have plans to go to Mass and not just the
beach or Disneyworld.
School Registration is still open: A couple of weeks ago
we had a very successful Open House at both schools.
We still have some openings after that registration
night and so, if you know anyone who is looking for a
good school or you yourself are thinking about being a
part of our school family, I would encourage you to
please call the school as soon as possible. Thank you
for your support of this important mission.

CABRINI STUDENT EARNS GOLD AWARD ON
NATIONAL GERMAN EXAM
SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH? Cabrini senior Thomas Collins had studied German for three and a half years and had
reached the Honors level when his teacher invited him to
take the National German Exam. Collins competed against
over 6,000 other students at his level, and placed in the 90th
percentile, earning him the prestigious Goldurkunde (Gold
Award)!
Collins began learning with German teacher Mr. Dwayne
Stange at Cabrini in ninth grade because he says he
“thought it would look good on a college application” and
because his brother had taken it. After taking the test, Collins explains, “it was nice to see what I was able to accomplish and do, and I was able to answer a lot more than I
thought I’d be able to,” thanks to his preparation at CHS.
Cabrini is proud to be able to offer students up to four
years of language study in all of our languages: Spanish,
French, and German. Mrs. Sara Alderman, the department
head, extends her congratulations on behalf of the World
Languages department and encourages students to continue learning beyond the minimum requirements set by the
school. Mrs. Linn Hastings in the Guidance Department is
“extremely proud of Tom Collins for his achievement” and
notes that “our 3rd and 4th year German program is relatively new, and our much appreciated thanks to Mr. Stange for
bringing his knowledge and expertise to Cabrini High
School.”
When asked about the value of studying a world language, Collins says “it opens up a lot of opportunities and
gives you a big choice of what you want to do in life.” He
believes that “just knowing a different language can mean
the difference of whether you want to move away and start a
life somewhere else; it gives you that boost to be able to go
to a different region and pick up life there so much quicker
than you would be able to not knowing the language at all.”
“Gratulierung” to Thomas, and we wish him continued
success in the future!
LETTER FROM;
American Association of Teachers of German, Inc.
Dear Colleague:
On behalf of the Executive Council of the American Association of Teachers of German, I would like to commend
you and your students for participating in the 2015 AATG
National German Exam.
Over 20,000 students participated in the program this
year, and your students’ involvement in this national competition brings honor to your school, your district, and your
German program. The AATG salutes the tremendous work
you do every day preparing students for tomorrow’s world
with skills in German that will enhance their educational and
career opportunities.
We greatly appreciate the support the German program
has from your administration and we are especially grateful
for your involvement and dedication to students.
Thank you for participating in this valuable program.
We wish ou and your students continued success in German!
Sincerely,
Keith Cothrun (signed)
Executive Director

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
The high school is planning to recruit through the
council on Standards for International Educational
Travel, CSIET, several international students for the
next school year. We have been approached by agencies interested in assisting us with the international students studying at Cabrini High School in preparing for a
college career at a U.S. university.
In order to enroll international students, we need to
identify Cabrini Catholic Parish or School families who
would be interested in providing home-stay housing. If
you are interested in hosting an international student,
please complete the Host Family Questionnaire on our
high school’s website.
As a host family, you will share your home and family life with an international student as well as expose
them to the best of American history and culture. Together, you will celebrate cultural differences and discover similarities with regards to values and beliefs.
Most importantly, your family can make a difference in
the life of an international student by fulfilling the
dream of an American private educational experience
and in providing a safe, Christian home away from
home.
As a host family, you will be offered a monthly stipend through the agency to cover the costs of providing your exchange student with meals, a bed, a place
for their belongings and transportation.

ALL ARE WELCOME
We have officially named our parish travel group Tuesday
Travelers, in honor of my mother, the late Theresa O’Neil, who
organized a travel group when she was a very active member
of St. Frances Cabrini.
HELP US HOST THE HOMELESS DURING HOLY WEEK
With the freezing temperatures we have experienced, it is
hard not to think about our homeless sisters and brothers
whose lives are in grave danger because they sleep outside.
We thank God for those who started ChristNet to provide
nighttime shelter for the homeless in our area, and are honored to be hosting the warming center during Holy Week,
Sunday, March 29 to Sunday, April 5, in Holy Family Hall. Our
parish is one of several churches that take turns providing
shelter during the winter and early spring.
On average, we will welcome 30 men and women each
night that week, providing for them a hot supper, shower, a
safe night’s sleep, breakfast and a brown bag lunch. Folks
are with us from 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The efforts of many make this Christian outreach a success, and we are certain this year the same holds true. Before the sign-up sheets go up in the Narthex March 7/8, please
reflect on the ways you could help:
•

arise throughout the week.
If you have any questions, please call Therese Tardiff,
coordinator of Christian Service at (313)381-5601.
CRS RICE BOWLS
“Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask
ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich
others by our own poverty.”
– Pope Francis
Filled Rice Bowls should be returned to church on
Palm Sunday, so that we can forward our parish donations to
CRS.
As the name suggests, our outings take place on Tuesdays and so far we have been to ArtPrize in Grand Rapids and
Meadowbrook Hall in Rochester. Our next trip is to Holland,
Michigan, during the annual Tulip Time Festival.
If you have never been, there are tulips everywhere - a
beautiful site to see, so I hope you will consider joining us.
Participation isn’t limited to parishioners – please feel free to
bring along friends and family. Traveling by bus with Bianco
Tours, we leave at 7:30 a.m. May 5 and head across the state
for lunch, a tour of Holland and some shopping in the quaint
downtown area.
We will be dining at the Alpen Rose Restaurant, a local
favorite, where you will have a choice Chicken Shortcake or
Alpen Rose Meatloaf. When we finish, a Dutch-costumed
guide will join us on our bus for a tour of Holland, sharing the
history of Windmill Island, Hope College, Tulip Lane and the
downtown area. We will then visit Vedlheer Tulip Gardens,
the midwest’s only working tulip farm, which spans over 30
acres and features more than 5 million tulips. It is breathtaking! Veldheer also includes the Wooden Shoe and Delft Factory.
We will be back to Cabrini by 9:00 p.m. Cost for the day
trip is $86, which includes lunch, and snacks on the bus.
Make checks payable to St. Frances Cabrini

of free monthly presentations.
Everyone is welcome!

IT’S TIME TO THINK BASKETS
Soon, and very soon, a warm
breeze will fill the air. But in the meantime,
here is something to think about – creating
a themed basket for the Basket Booth at the Parish Festival
June 12 - 14. Our booth under the big tent is filled with these
baskets created and donated by parishioners, which are then
won by playing a game of chance.
The possibilities are endless … Start by thinking what
kind of basket you would like to win, and plan from there.
Baskets have created centered around seasonal events, hobbies and activities, have come in all shapes and sizes, and
appealed to men, women and children. You are limited only
by your creativity.

CABRINI BLOOD DRIVE
Blood is essential for life. It carries nutrients to the body, helps heal
wounds and fights infection. One of
every 3 people needs blood in their
lifetime. Accidents happen daily…
babies are born needing blood to survive…and blood is used daily during surgery. The demand for
blood is constant. The supply is not. Donating blood is a
small heroic act that can be done to save a life.
Our next blood drive will be held Sunday May 31, 2015
Thank you in advance for taking the time to save a life.

WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016
Krakow, Poland and Malta Excursion
July 21 – August 2, 2016
Let the planning begin!
In 1980, Pope John Paul II hosted the first World Youth
Day in Rome and ever since that time they have been held all
over the World. World Youth Day (actually a week or longer
event) is held every three years for teens the ages of 17 (or
going into Jr. year of high school) through the young adult
years. It is an opportunity for young adult members of the
church to come together as one body to share and grow in
their Catholic faith.
Some of the major cities that have hosted WYD are Denver, Paris, Rome, Toronto, Köln, Sydney, Madrid, and Rio de
Janeiro. The next World Youth Day pilgrimage is scheduled

SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF DETROIT
ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
One of the Special Works of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul – Detroit (SVdP) has been to provide Energy Assistance
to those living in poverty, senior citizens, individuals with
disabilities as well as others who may be in danger of having
their electric/heating services discontinued. With funds from
the Michigan Public Service Commission and THAW, the Society and our numerous partnering agencies have been able
to extend help to thousands of households all over Michigan
if income qualifications are met. If you are in need of energy
assistance, please contact the rectory and a SVDP representative will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to
help determine if you qualify.
“SHARE JESUS”
By Marge Montrief
Many years ago, a gentleman I knew had a habit of asking
members of our prayer group,
“What did God do for you today?”
The first time he asked me, I had to think fast to be able to
give him my answer. From then on, when I saw him coming
my way, I started to get my story ready. What he was teaching me was how to tell my story. Sounds easy, right? The
hard part is putting action with the words.
Many people with whom we share our lives need to hear
our stories. The people that are sitting in church right next to
us need to hear our stories. They probably don’t have the
strong faith in God and see Him working in their lives the
same way that we do.
What would happen if next Sunday, you said to the little
old lady or gentleman, whose name you don’t know, but you
see all the time, “May I tell you what Jesus did for me?” After
their initial surprise they probably will say, “Why yes, of
course.” You tell your short story. . .they smile and say, “Oh
my, wasn’t that wonderful!” What just happened? Did you
just witness for Christ? By golly, I think you did! That was
easy, right?
Now, can you plan to do that every Sunday? Pick a different person each week and tell your short story. The people
you talked with have been evangelized. You have started
them thinking, since God is working in your life, maybe He
can work in their lives too! When people start coming up to
you to ask, “What did Jesus do for you,” just to hear your story, you know you are a blooming success! Try it. It may become a new way of life for you.
God is hoping you will use the gifts He gave you to teach
all people and share Jesus where He has put you—you, His
people of hope. Jesus is counting on you!
CHARITY
Let all that you do be done in charity.
-Paul, 1 Corinthians 16:14

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
March 22, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Lent
In the Gospel today, Jesus says “Whoever serves me must
follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father
will honor whoever serves me.” When we help the poor we are truly
followers of Jesus, servant of the poor.
As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul poor box, know that you
are a sign of God’s love to those who are suffering and you give them Easter hope and
joy.
IMPORTANT PRAYER LIST INFORMATION
As of April 12, 2015, I will be erasing the names on the prayer list. If you
