Most of us are not trail blazers. Throughout history though, there have been many folks who tirelessly and persistently pursued the promptings of their
hearts without giving any care to what others thought or trends dictated. Jesus is one of them. St. Teresa of Calcutta and St. Francis of Assisi are
examples of others. The rest of us are people who take a more measured look at things, want to test the waters, and take our time choosing what path
or person to follow. We need credible witnesses of faith. We need the Moses people in our lives to show us by word and deed who God is and what
integrity and a purpose-driven life looks like. They are the pointers to truth, who even though they struggle themselves, seem to embody an unspoken
timeless wisdom that just sounds and feels right. Jesus taught with this same type of authority and caught the attention of the greatest of skeptics. They
were astonished. Even though we need our human prophets we can also be somewhat prophetic ourselves by putting integrity and conviction behind our
embrace of the Gospel. Perhaps much to our surprise, we all have the power to be a credible witness. Are you willing to give it a try?

Catholic Schools Week
This year’s theme is “Faith. Excellence. Service.” Throughout the US,
Catholic schools devote special time and attention in celebration and
sharing of their gifts with one another and their greater communities. In
this school year, Catholic Schools Week is a particularly opportune time
to reflect on the witness of hope and healing our faith calls us to bring
to the world. Catholic education is a natural way to integrate faith and
a spiritual imagination into the normal threads of learning. Thank you
for all you do to keep our schools vibrant and alive with fresh faces
year after year!
Preschool at Holy Family School
For a couple of decades now Holy Family has offered preschool
options. With the demand for day care and preschool options increas-
ing in our region, there is conversation about adding all day options for
preschool at Holy Family. To do so, we would need some architectural
solutions. I believe this would be a great service to the local communi-
ty, and it would provide a natural feeder into the elementary grades to
boost enrollment and promote long term vibrancy. If you have any
interest in this conversation, please give me a call.
COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout
I expect to receive the second of two shots this week to be vaccinated
against the COVID-19 virus. I feel strongly about receiving it, not only
for the protection of my own health, but as a Corporal Work of Mercy
toward others. Medical professionals suggest that, ultimately, the only
way to prevent serious illness and death in the coming years from the
new Coronavirus is to have herd immunity, with a significant portion of
the population immune from the virus. The faces of people of every
age and health condition came before my eyes as I discerned whether I
should receive it. The rollout of the vaccine is happening quickly.
Those 65 or older, and those with documented medical conditions, are
eligible now. By the summer there will likely be a supply available for
everyone. Please consider this option for the benefit of the entire
community.
Harvest of Hope Pastoral Council Meeting
The next meeting of our ACC council, the Harvest of Hope Pastoral
Council will be held this Thursday, February 4. I am especially
impressed with the representatives of each parish, and excited to see
where conversations will lead us. In this meeting, we will review our
strategic plan, which was formulated last year when we formally created
our Area Catholic Community. The scope of the strategic plan is vast
and includes a dozen action steps along the lines of three major goals
(1) Empowering us all to promote the Joy of the Gospel, (2) Building a
sense of community within each parish, and throughout the ACC, and
(3) finding ways to collaborate and share resources for the sake of
effective ministry.
I hope that all of us feel a sense of ownership in the Harvest of Hope
Pastoral Council. Anyone is invited to submit a petition for the agenda.
All are encouraged to look for the meeting minutes, which will be
available the week after the meeting in each of our churches.
