ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY

Pastor’s Message

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!

Fr. Lawrence W. Jozwiak Pastor

“The Cross is the school of love.”

“The most deadly poison of our time is indifference.”

—St. Maximilian Kolbe

July 12, 2020 Dear Friends in Christ: As I write this letter on Tuesday, July 7, it was only one week ago that I was moving to this parish. So many boxes and other items to unpack. I kept wondering: “How do I have so much stuff?” I purged so much stuff when packing up. After so many years, things accumulate. I gave away so many clothes, half of my books, gave away so many items and recycled so many files and paperwork that I no longer needed. Even after all that, I still have more than I really want. Now is the long process of unpacking and set-tling in. Yet just like you when you move, I still need to work while unpacking. My 1st goal is to get my office set-tled; then get settled into the priest’s residence, the rectory. My first week was filled with so much to learn: what is the practice here, who is responsible for that task, where is that kept, which key for this door, what is that code number, how to turn the lights or microphone on, AC, etc. Natural-ly, it will take a while to learn so much more. I know some of this info will have to be repeated until it sticks in my brain. So how do I feel after only a week being here? Very grateful and pleased to be here! I hope you may have simi-lar feelings also! ☺ My desire to come here to serve you as your pastor has been affirmed by my first week here! The order of the Mass is the same anywhere (or it should be). But the experience of it varies from parish to parish and its uniqueness. Recognizing those realities, I feel very com-fortable with celebrating the Mass here. As I said in my opening remarks prior to my homily last weekend, this is a very beautiful church building. Thank you to all who had a role in the design and construction of the church. I have called Fr. John Ulm to thank him for his role with the church. Thank you also that the debt is relatively low. Eve-ry pastor (and any other person) is not thrilled with a huge debt to pay off! Though the beauty of a church building can assist us with prayer, what is more important is the parish communi-ty. I have heard so many positive realities about you before I arrived, even long before I considered applying for the parish. Remember that one of your previous pastors, Fr. Adam McClosky, was my 1st pastor and is my priest men-

tor & good friend. He has shared countless wonderful stories of you. Ginger Tamborello (who was the Direc-tor of Religious Education here previously and died re-cently) shared similar stories. Other people, including Fr. John Kha Tran, have done so also. So, I know much “about” you. Now it is time for me to get to know you personally. Even with the unique challenges of Covid19, I hope you will invite me in time into your lives. I want to enjoy sharing meals with you, whether in your homes or in restaurants. After all, that is how Jesus encountered people. Concerning our parish community, we give thanks for who we are and all our blessings. We pray for any possible areas of growth, known and unknown to us. God always knows where we need to grow more fully in His ways. I gather our parish is a very welcoming par-ish. Praise God on that reality! So continue to do so, but let’s make a concerted, extra effort to invite others to be a part of us. Invite others to Mass, either physically or to watch the Mass on our parish website. Invite those who do not come to church at all or those who go spo-radically. Invite those who may have left the Church or our parish for whatever reason. If someone has been hurt, simply say that you regret a hurt has occurred, but please pray and consider returning to a more active life of faith and worship here. Remind people that all are welcome here, even when unfortunately we do not live that as well as we should. Remember success is not measured on whether people return but rather if we ex-tend the invitation. We are responsible for our actions, and not for someone’s response, though naturally we want them to respond positively. As announced last weekend & in this bulletin (p. 5), Ginger Tamborello died. Her Funeral Mass occurred at St. Theresa Church in Memorial Park, her last parish where she served. Her family has planned a Memorial Mass here at our parish for August 28, 2021 at 10 am. The reasons for a year out are: her Funeral Mass will be limited in numbers, hopefully we will be back to “normal” in a year, the family wants a Mass here be-cause Ginger so loved this parish and it would be Gin-ger’s 70th birthday on August 27th. Naturally, we will remind you when that time comes closer. Let us pray for one another and our parish!

SIGNIFICANCE of BOWING A bow signifies reverence & honor shown to the names or event being mentioned. We are to do the following: 1) A bow of the head is made when the three Divine Persons (the Trinity) are named together and at the names of Jesus, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of the Saint in whose honor Mass is being cele-brated. 2) A bow of the body (a profound bow) is made during the Creed with the words “and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” —General Instruction to the Roman Missal, #275

MASS [ONLINE]

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS PARISH FOOD PANTRY— Our Food Pantry is open for APPOINTMENTS ONLY! Please contact us @

FoodPantry@stmaximilian.org or by calling the parish office @ 281-955-7324. We will be happy to set an appointment with you for either ‘curbside pick-up’ at St. Maximilian or arrange to be delivered to your home.

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston has created a webpage of resources to assist parishes in the fight against rac-ism. The resource page includes a video to the faithful from Cardinal DiNardo, news updates, prayers and educational resources. It can be found at www.archgh.org/racism. There is also a story on the fight against racism in the Texas Catholic Herald.

COMBATTING RACISM

That the seeds God sows in our lives may take root and lead to greater prayer, partici-pation and generosity. “The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word but then the cares of the world and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.” - Matthew 13:22 Does the lure of riches and material goods choke God out of your life? Are you so caught up in earthly activities that you have no time for God? Gratitude and generosity are virtues that we should strive to do on a daily basis. Every decision we make either takes us one step closer to God or one step further away. What we receive at Mass eve-ry Sunday should be shared with others all the other days of the week as well.

Virginia "Ginger" Tamborello AUGUST 27, 1951 – JULY 2, 2020

Ginger Tamborello served at St. Maximilian Kolbe for several years as the Di-rector of Religious Education. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. —And let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. —Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. —Amen.
