3 513 St. Catharine—St. Margaret Parish Family

Dear Parishioners,

This week we celebrate our national holiday on the

4th of July. I think that those of us who were not born

in this country have a particular appreciation of this

holiday. Maybe it’s because of the timing – coming

as it does at the beginning of the Summer, with the

excitement of outdoor fun and the smell of the

barbecue and the sound of families getting together

and creating (sometimes noisy) memories.

Above all, of course, the 4th is a celebration of the

freedoms and the independence that we so easily take

for granted. The fact that people have died and

continue to die for this abstract entity called freedom

and independence can seem very far removed from

our consciousness as we lie on the beach or stoke up

the barbecue, but for so many thousands of our armed

forces serving overseas, it is not at all an abstract

concept, as they put their lives on the line and risk

death each day so that the rest of us can celebrate our

national holiday in peace and tranquility.

Let us offer a very heartfelt and grateful prayer this

special day, for our service men and women who are

making such sacrifices for the rest of us. May we

never take their service and their courage for granted.

Happy 4th!

Fr. Cullen

Parish Pastoral Council-18

The recently discerned Parish Council consists of a diverse

group of individuals in both age and life experience. The

new Council is both energized and committed and, under

the direction of Father Harold Cullen, has had three

significant meetings since commencement in March.

Building upon the efforts from the first Parish Council, the

new Council has by consensus decided to focus on ways to

better engage our youth, (teenagers to college, 20’s to

30’s, young families,) in our Eucharistic Celebrations and

parish community events. The Council is also supporting

our new efforts in music and hospitality at parish events

and masses.

The youth objective is to listen to concerns, through focus

groups and ministry solicitations, and then create action

steps aimed at bringing these members to mass and

community events. Our concentration is evangelization,

and our hope is that with guidance from the Holy Spirit,

everyone will commit to a deeper relationship with our

Lord, Jesus Christ.

A special mass for the previous Parish Council and the

new Council is being scheduled for the fall. Please

continue to pray for the entire St. Catharine-St. Margaret

Parish Community and parishes everywhere.
