~Carol
FromFather DougThe word precept is rooted in the Latin word praeciperewhich means to teach.
In modern usage, the word is sometimes used to defineexpectations of involvement. It is similar to those rules
we encounter in our corporate, educational, and familyenvironments that mandate mutually beneficial behavior;things like being on time for work, doing your homework,or completing your assigned chores. In functionalsituations, they seldom need emphasis because they areknown and accepted they come into focus only when theyare ignored. When ignored, you effectively remove yourspirit from involvement.
Precepts could be thought of as commanded behavior toassure the health of the collective group for whom they areintended. I cannot think of anything in life that doesnthave some sort of precepts. We have examples in science what goes up must come down; in nature to live means todie; in love to share. Examples abound, the point is thatprecepts are at the root of a functional tree.
We have precepts as Catholics, and we need to considerthem; their observance affects the health and future of ourfaith community.
There are five precepts of the Catholic Church (that can bereferenced in the Catechism). The first three are:
1. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of
obligation and rest from servile labor. It is important to
understand that any precept assumes that you arereasonably able to comply. If you are unable to get to thechurch for safety or physical reasons, if you are sick ortending to a sick child or dependant, or camping in thewilderness or in some sort of circumstance where it isunusually difficult or impossible to get to Mass that day,you are not gravely violating this precept. For people
advancing in their faith, there is a desire to attend Mass thatmakes this precept unnecessary. Mass attendance is anacquired desire, especially for those young in faith but aswe grow in faith we recognize our need to worship together
to nourish this growth. In modern times, the rest fromservile labor can be difficult or impossible if taken tooliterally. It is better to consider this as a matter of priority:human work is our gift from God to help our society tothrive, but it should never become an excuse to keep usfrom worshipping. The author of our talents is moreimportant than our self-gain from these talents. God is offirst importance as we love our neighbor as ourself.2. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. We areall sinners; confession helps us to embrace Gods grace tohelp us nip it in the bud. Canon law emphasizes thatgrave sins must be confessed. If you are in the habit of
periodic confession and examining your consciencebetween sacramental confessions, you are significantly lesslikely to become entangled in grave sin. This precept isrelated as a prelude to the next one; both of these preceptsemerged during a time when people were resistant toreceive communion because of their unworthiness, anunfortunate circumstance.3. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at
least once during the Easter season.If we are in a stateof grave sin, if able, we need to receive sacramentalconfession beforehand. There is forgiveness of non-gravesins in reception of this sacrament. This precept defines the
minimum for Eucharistic reception. The Eucharist definesour Catholicism. Receiving our Eucharistic nourishmentwill help us grow in faith and trust of God who will redeemus from our unworthiness.
Next week, I will continue this articlewith the 4th and 5th precepts.
In continuation of recent restructuring to improve office efficiency, a full time administrative assistant was hiredlast November to help in data processing and office reception. Please join me in welcoming, a bit belatedly, ournewest staff member, Carol Pierce. She comes to us with much parish experience from Shakopee and is awelcome addition to our staff. I have asked her to write a brief sketch of her background that follows.
My name is Carol Pierce; I am married to Fred and live in Eden Prairie. We have
two adult children, Allie who graduated from St. Thomas and Joe from Augsburg.
He is planning a May wedding (I am praying for grandchildren)! I have worked in
the neighboring church communities of St. Mark's in Shakopee for ten years and at
St. John the Baptist for three years. I am delighted to be able to serve your faith
community as Administrative Assistant. Please stop by the parish office and
introduce yourself to me.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry will gather on Monday,
January 14 - 6:30 p.m. at the parish conference
room. ALL crocheters, knitters and those who would
like to learn, are welcome! Please consider being a part
of this ministry that gives comfort to people who face
many situations. If you have any questions,
feel free to call Tricia Fielmeyer at
952-217-5828 or Kathy Rasmussen at
952-448-5922. Hope to see you there!
Catholic United Financial G.A. Council
would like to send out a huge thank
you to Mary Jo Stanoch for her
outstanding years of service as our
Fraternal Secretary. She will be
missed. We are looking for a new
member to take on this roll. Please let
Tina Holmstadt know if you are
inspired to accept this calling.
As you can see by the photos the new parking lot, heated sidewalk, ramp andstairway project is finished. We now have two disabled and six senior parkingstall. The lot was designed with the option to double the parking capacity ifneeded. The walkway, ramp, stairs and landing are mechanically heated so thereis no worry about ice and snow conditions.
This project was estimated to cost $51,320 but will come in at $58,167. Part ofthe increased cost was due to the city lowering the alleys elevation that requiredtwo more steps, plus the additional hand and vertical railings along the ramp tomeet code. For increased safety we installed handrails by the chiller side of the
walkway. We also had to pour a 6 thick retaining wall alongside the existing cinder block wall, which had deteriorated beyondrepair. We also elected to go with two lifts of 2 inches rather than a single of 3 inches of asphalt on the parking lot.
I would like to offer some special thanks to Leo Forner for his expertise on this project. Also a special thank you to Jack Worm andhis city of Chaska crew for the parking lot lights and everything else they helped us with and Ted Janey for upgrading the lights onthe canopy.
We have received donations and I would like to publically thank them. The RummageSale group donated their 2012 earnings to this project along with Brad & Barb Gestach,Leo & Linda Forner, Pearl Kelzer, and Barb & Gary Van Eyll. We will continue to acceptadditional donations for this project. We are contemplating adding some screeningaround the chiller.
I know this disabled and senior parking lot and church entrance is an overdue addition toour parish but I believe it is a project we can be very proud of.
Gary Van Eyll ~Facilities Supervisor
