Transitions mark change of seasons

2Meet our new bookkeeper, Paula Pikula, and read what led her to St. Agnes.

“You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world . . . your light must shine before people, so that, seeing your good works, they may give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13-16)

It’s that time of the year – graduation ceremonies and commencement speeches at schools, colleges and universities. It’s also the end of another academic year, a time for many students to pursue further studies and seek new opportunities in life. It’s also the much-awaited summer season for all of us!

#is summer also brings us great relief a$er a long period of shut-ins, mask-wearing, online learning and working from home. #e tough phase of life we experienced during the past 18 months or so was unprecedented. Now that mask-wearing mandate is li$ed, we can

breathe the fresh air of freedom and renew and revive our relationship with our family and friends. I am happy that most of our parishio-ners can now return to sacramental celebrations in person at St. Agnes. We, of course, shall con-tinue to take care of ourselves and others with precautions necessary to stay safe and healthy.

A$er the Lord’s resurrection, we were blessed to have the First Holy Communion and Con%rmation of our children during the Easter season.#e transitional diaconate of Matthew

We, the people of St. Agnes, are called by God as a Catholic Christian community to be prayerful, compassionate servants to all God’s people. -- Mission Statement

Navigation is key to %nding information on a website. #e image above is just one of four landing pages for the new St. Agnes website.

“Our website was in need of a faceli$ to make it more relevant, inclusive and easy to search,” Dave Grunwaldt, parish %nance man-ager, said. He and Mark Mauer spearheaded the website’s redesign.

Visitors can scroll through three other landing pages, each of which has its own menu of options. Information is much better orga-nized and easier to %nd.

“With this new design, we can do a better job of telling our story,” Grunwaldt said. “We want to provide easy access to parish members who are looking for information that is now much easier to %nd.”

#e URL is the same, but the website looks entirely di&erent. Clear and easy navigation makes the site user-friendly. Go ahead and wander through the drop-down menus. You’ll be amazed at all the information that you’ll %nd.

THE GOOD WORDTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD

Greetings from the New Evangelization Team (NET).

What are we doing?!e New Evangelization Team (NET) is

a group of parishioners who have responded to the Archdiocesan Summit on Evangeliza-tion (2012) to “Go and Make Disciples”. As St. John Paul II has said this New Evangelization challenges us to do this in ways that are “new in ardor, methods, and expression”. Evangeli-zation is proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit to all people. We do this by building on the things the Universal Church already does, we make intentional disciples of Jesus Christ.

What are our objectives?1. We support the continued conversion

to Christ of the faithful. !is is an easy task. We do this through our various Catholic ID programs and other Bible studies, with our Passion Plays and other Lenten and Advent parish events.

2. We #nd and bring back the baptized who have fallen away from their faith. !is is a bit harder to do but we try by encouraging others to share their faith with family and friends. Our Elizabeth Ministry program and the new FORMED platform are a good resource for this task.

3. Proclaim the Good News to those who have never known Jesus. !is goal is the hardest of all to achieve but the puppet shows at previous Parish Festivals are one example of

our e$orts to reach out to all people of God.We continue to work on an individual

level and as a group to #nd creative ways to accomplish all of our objectives. !e early Church was successful in their e$orts because they followed the example of Jesus and his disciples.

• !ey were courageous.• !ey were authentic.• !ey were communal in service, prayer

and love.• Others witnessed their JOY and were

drawn to it.We can follow their lead, #rst, by making

the Mass a priority. But there are other ways to grow in your faith and become an intentional disciple of Jesus. We invite you to consider joining a small group event o$ered periodical-ly by NET to increase your faith and joy. When we come together with the amazing people in this parish to faith share, the experience is incomparable. !is last year with COVID was a desert, but the sweet rains are here!

Call Leslie (414-690-9869) if you have ideas or suggestions for what you would like to see us o$er.

Committee outlines its purpose

Paula Pikula

Meet Paula Pikula, bookkeeper at St. Agnes“The human heart plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps.” — Proverbs 16:9

I am a #rm believer that everything happens for a reason; everything is a part of God’s plan for us. I wasn’t looking for a job when I met Dave Grunwaldt back in February. I was working for the Marian Center and I loved my job. What had started as part-time work turned into a full-time job in which I was the bookkeeper, in charge of purchasing and receiv-ing, and involved in a lot of the day-to-day activities. Sadly, in January the devoted owner passed away and her husband decided to close the store and enjoy a much-deserved retirement.

Long story short, in looking for a new home for the Marian Center, I met Dave who encouraged me to apply for the book-keeper position here at St. Agnes. I feel so blessed to have this

opportunity to work in such an amazing commu-nity with inspiring people!

At home, I have an incredible husband, Ro-man, and four beautiful children, Kaylee, Brady, Charlie and Molly, and two adorable puppies, Max and Winston. Roman is a special educa-tion teacher at Vincent High School and is also working hard to reopen the Marian Center, now named !e !ree Hearts Center.

Kaylee just graduated with honors from Do-minican High School and will be heading to UW-Milwaukee in the fall. Brady, Charlie, and Molly will be entering sixth grade, fourth grade, and K4,

respectively, at St. Joe’s School in Wauwatosa.I’m beyond excited to see where this adventure at St. Agnes

will take me!

Welcome

New Evangelization TeamLeslie Berendt, Butch Brockman, Linda Barrington, Shelly Fellin, Pam Matthews, Theresa Nadolski, Kathy Schroeder, Paulette Szuminski

Ferch, an alumnus of St. Agnes school, was another reason for us to rejoice.

An important chapter in our school history is coming to a close as Ms. Gordon, the prin-cipal, and Ms. Shapiro, the 8th grade teacher, retire at the end of June. Under the leadership of Ms. Gordon, our dedicated faculty and sta$ brought many accolades to our school, both in academics and in extracurricular activities. Making our school eligible for a prestigious archdiocesan Catho-lic Identity award and grant is a major accomplishment of the school team. Let us welcome our new principal, Ms. Rachel Kolbeck. Together with her, let us make great strides in the next school year!

Today, Jesus is inviting each one of us to be the “salt of the earth and light of the world.” As a Christian community, we are called to share the light of Christ with others through our good works so that people may see the goodness of God and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us accept Lord’s challenge and bear abun-dant fruit according to His will.

Christian Formation

Shelly [email protected]

Celebrating the sacramental life of the church Christian Formation

Tuning in to God’s voice readies us for prayer“Prayer is communication. You talk, God listens. You listen when God talks.”

— Omoakhuana Anthonia

Summer months are ripe with mo-ments to tune in to the voice of God. We hear His whisper in a quiet lake and an early morning sunrise — yes, that’s unde-niably true. When one is disposed to hear His voice, He is so very present and tender.

!en, there’s that loud tra&c, or chil-dren squealing in the pool, or the neighbor having a great day with the lawn mower… It might be a little more challenging to communicate with God in the same way. Let’s face it: for most, summer can be quite busy.

Perhaps we can challenge ourselves to look at prayer in a fresh way for a few months and harness the power of the ear pod.

Have you had a moment when you hear a song at precisely the time you were struggling with an issue, and the lyrics line up with your struggle? God used the music and the moment to communicate with you. What if you could call up Catholic radio, a Christian music station or a Jesus jams playlist when you slide on your

headphones and allow the Lord to speak to you? Prayer.

We have a dynamic new resource at St. Agnes — FORMED. Among the many me-dia platforms o$ered are audio books. Scroll-ing through the options, I found a bunch that I can’t wait to listen to over the next months! !ere’s no question that God will mold and challenge me using the portable spoken word. It’s simply a matter of choosing what I feed my mind, heart and soul through media. !e possibilities are limitless.

However we choose to spend time with our Savior and immerse ourselves in His love, He will cherish the time with us and bless us beyond all imaginings! Happy summer!

!is Easter Season was especially joyful this year because we were able to celebrate the sacraments

once again that are o*en received during the season. On Friday, April 23, St. Agnes Parish hosted Con#r-mation celebrated by Bishop Je$rey Haines in a beautiful service that saw 16 students receive the gi*s of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of Con#rmation.

!e Easter Season is also the time to celebrate the Sacraments of First Eucharist. On the #rst weekend of May, eight children from the day school and one from Chris-tian Formation received their First Holy Eucharist which brings them even closer to Jesus and the Body of Christ. !e fol-lowing weekend, on May 9, we processed to the grotto for our traditional May Crowning that had been canceled last year due to the pandemic. Please keep all of our students who received a sacrament this Easter Season in your prayers.

We are excited to o$er a dynamic multi-media Catholic streaming platform that o$ers the beauty of our Catholic Faith on demand. !rough FORMED you have

access to all the books, audio talks, and high-quality movies, documentaries and studies available on the app or through the website. Here is what your fellow parishio-ners are saying about FORMED:

“I was impressed with the top-notch quality and high-production quality of ‘!e Search’.” —Kathy Schroeder

“I would like to thank everyone in-volved in setting up the FORMED platform. It is absolutely amazing!! I have felt very isolated this past year due to Covid. I have missed community and Mass in person due to health issues. During this unsettling year, I was determined to strengthen my relation-ship with our Lord. I have been watching Mass several times per week, listening to a variety of Catholic podcasts and talk shows, and reading numerous books on Catholic topics. !e FORMED platform provides all of these genres in one convenient location. I highly recommend taking some time to check out FORMED!” — Jane Seidl

Just follow the instructions below to get started. Registering on FORMED is easier than ever!

1. Go to FORMED.org/signup2. Enter your parish zip code or

name to select your parish3. Enter your name and emailVisit FORMED.org or search for

“Formed” on your favorite app store

!is past January the Archbishop released a new theological re+ection called “!e Gi* of Sunday.” !is document was created in response to the 2014 Synod priorities: Evangelization and !e Sunday Mass. Archbishop Listecki recently an-nounced a Sunday Mass Initiative, a three-year plan to reenergize the local Church and reconnect with those priorities. !e basis of this initiative is the Archbishop’s re+ection “!e Gi* of Sunday.” We will be o$ering a small group discussion of this theological re+ection on Sundays in July and August from 9:30-10:15 that will explore this document. Join us for one session or all #ve sessions. See the parish website for more details.

As our restrictions begin to loosen you will notice more activities and events taking place at St. Agnes. I invite you keep us in mind as you are planning your sum-mer activities. Remember that St. Agnes is here for you all year long.

Wilma McNamara serves St. Agnes as lector, sacristanby Karen Lundean

St. Agnes Congregation was just what Wilma McNamara was looking for back in 2006 as she searched for a new parish. She liked the smaller sized congregation with a welcoming family feel to it and St. Agnes was all of that for her.

Wilma was called to use her gi*s of stew-ardship as a lector and also as a sacristan. !e duties of a sacris-tan seem more like a gi* to Wilma as they make her feel a special closeness to God. Setting up the holy vessels before Mass is such an honor. !en a*er Mass the chalice that held the precious blood of Christ is wiped out along with returning everything to its place in readi-ness for the next Mass. It only requires about 20 minutes of preparation before Mass and less than that a*er Mass. Tak-

ing the Eucharist to nursing homes has also been a gi* for Wilma in the past. She truly feels blessed to be called to these ministries.

!ere are many other opportunities for stewardship outside of the parish

as well. Before her retirement, Wilma taught Natural Sci-

ence for 38 years at MATC. !ere she was able to

help people make a bet-ter life for themselves. !e students were so appreciative and willing to work hard which

gave Wilma great sat-isfaction. Preparing and

serving meals for seniors was another joy for her.

St. Agnes has so many kind people who will be there for you. Get to know them by volunteering your talents. Wilma #nds joining study groups another good way to meet your fellow pa-rishioners. Don’t let these opportunities slip by. !ere’s too much to miss!

Serving as sacristan at St. Agnes, Wilma McNa-mara prepares for Mass by setting out the water, wine, hosts and chalice for weekday Mass.

Stewardship

Doctors order rehabilitation — inten-sive exercises and therapy — for patients to regain muscle strength and +exibility a*er a serious illness or injury.

!e time is right for us to use the same approach for our friendships and family re-lationships a*er Covid-19. !e worst seems over now that the vaccines are percolating through our nation, and we are entering the summer, when it is comfortable to gather in the relative safety of the outdoors.

It will take serious rehab to repair and renew the friendships and family relation-ships that Covid-19 forced us to neglect. Hunkered down in our homes for safety,

we ceased gathering for friendship, fellow-ship and recreation — the very activities that keep relationships strong. Churches put worship and social gatherings on hold.

!e pandemic’s impact on relation-ships wielded a double whammy: It le* us stressed and needing friends at the very time that Covid-19 prevented us from tending to our relationships. It has le* us disconnected and hurting.

Keeping in mind that the Covid-19 risk is diminished but not gone, as summer un-folds, you can look for safe ways to rehab, renew and repair your relationships.

Reach out: Go through your list of

friends and contact them by phone, email, text — whatever’s best. Tell them you missed them and want to get together.

Make plans: Don’t put it o$. Be cre-ative and #nd safe ways to get together. Outdoors is safer. Backyard barbecues, co$ee at a sidewalk café, a walk, a game of bocce, iced tea on the porch. It’s all good.

Every little step you take will help your relationship “muscles” to get stronger, and in the process you’ll become healthier as the love, support and joy of friends and family +ows into your heart.Copyright © 2021, Rev. Robert Blezard. Reprinted by permission. Rev. Blezard passed away in April 2021.

Stewarding our relationships: Rehab, renew and repair


Discerning God’s Call

As I am writing this, I have been ordained a deacon for a little over a month. It has been surreal to say the least. It is also surreal that I now have a completely di$erent place within the church. I have new roles and responsibilities that I need to be attentive, too. Preaching, assisting at the altar, celebrat-ing sacraments and prayer services — it can get overwhelming at times. But it is a good kind of overwhelming because I know that I am doing the work of the Lord and leading people closer to Him. !at is what makes the work I do ful#lling — and it will be even more ful#lling when I am a priest in just under a year.

So far, I have had some wonderful opportunities as a deacon. I have been able to preach at my teaching parish, Blessed Sacrament, regularly. It is amazing how I can preach something and not think much about it, but I then have someone come up to me a*er Mass say that what I said was very mov-ing, reassured them, or provided something to them that they needed to hear that day. You never know how the Holy Spirit moves

people. I have been able to baptize one of my cousin’s children. I was able to assist at the First Communion of another cousin’s child. I got to be the deacon at my teaching parish’s Con#rmation Mass at the Basilica of St. Josaphat and proclaim the Gospel from the Basilica’s grand pulpit. !at was a check mark o$ the bucket list.

!is summer, I am doing many things. Mainly, I am assisting in pastoral ministry at my teaching parish. I preach several times a week. I sit in on sta$ and council meetings. I assist at the celebration of the sacraments and Masses — including baptisms, marriages and funerals. I reach out to the homebound of the parish. Outside of the parish, I am working on my thesis for next year. I have also been helping at the young adult Mass called Cor Jesu at St. Robert’s, Shorewood. It is amazing seeing young people so involved with their faith.

It is hard to believe that I am approach-ing my last year of seminary. I pray that this year will be a fruitful and busy year. I am looking forward to seeing what this year of

being a deacon holds. I encourage the people of St. Agnes to continue to pray for vocations because the church needs healthy and holy priests. Know of my love and a$ection for you all. See you at Mass!

Human Concerns

As a tithing parish we are committed to sharing 2.5% of our treasure with those who need our #nancial support. Our Human Concerns Committee is tasked with this mission.

For the #rst quarter (Jan.-Mar.) of 2021 we donated approximately $5,400. Below is the list of organizations that St. Agnes has supported with these donations: Capuchin Community Ser-vices/St. Ben's Community Meal & House of Peace: Service to the poor, the hungry and the homelessChildren Wish Foundation Int'l: To help make a seriously ill child’s wish come trueCommunity Projects for Seniors: To deliver free and hot meals to seniorsERAs Senior Network Inc./Interfaith: Serving seniors in needFather Carr's Place: To provide shelter for men, women and chil-

Rachel Kolbeck to be new principal at St. Agnes


School News

by Christine GordonSt. Agnes School is pleased to

announce that Ms. Rachel Kolbeck will be the new principal at St. Agnes School. Ms. Kolbeck is an experienced educator who is happy to return to Wisconsin and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee from California where she has worked as a teacher, vice-principal and principal of Blessed Sacrament School in Los Angeles.

In addition to a solid skill base, Ms. Kolbeck brings energy, creativity and an orientation for #scal responsi-bility with her. Most importantly, Ms. Kolbeck is a dedicated Catholic edu-cator with a philosophy of education consistent with the mission and vision of St. Agnes School.

Ms. Kolbeck is a wonderful match for the St. Agnes Parish and School community.

Please go to tinyurl.com/RKolbeck to view Kolbeck’s video of introduction.

The future is here: In 2016 these third graders posed at the grotto with their teacher, Mrs. Monica Weis. They are now the rising eighth graders who will be the school leaders this year.

Rachel Kolbeck has been teaching in California and most re-cently has been principal at Blessed Sacrament School in Los Ange-les. Kolbeck looks forward to returning to Wisconsin where she grew up in Germantown and attended Trinity Academy in Pewaukee.

During her interview Kolbeck talked about building trust, cred-ibility and collaboration with the school sta$. She hopes to be able to do one-on-one meetings as she gets to know every-one. She likes to ask the sta$ for advice, but also realizes that it’s important to stay connected to the parish sta$ and community.

Having a strong Catho-lic identity is important for everyone at school. It’s not just attending religion class and Mass, she said. !at must be inte-grated by praying together, attending Mass and learning in religion class.

“An education can only be as strong as the teachers giving it,” Kolbeck wrote in her cover letter. “Having highly quali#ed teachers is the basis of ensuring a strong education.” Coaching and mentoring, she said, are invaluable parts of having a strong faculty.

“Observing and providing quality feedback to teachers [helps] strengthen the school as a whole and [assists] us in reaching our goals,” Kolbeck said.

Kolbeck plans to be in school by the beginning of August.
