A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners:
This week our Parish buried one of its most generous
supporters. Norbert Rubeck died
peacefully in his sleep just four days after attending the funeral Mass of his
younger brother George at Blessed Sacrament.
The nine Rubeck brothers are the patriarchs of a clan that has many members
in our parish and beyond.
Although he had no children of his own, Norbert was
the single most generous individual contributor to Blessed Sacrament
School. His donations toward our new
building were a significant portion of our campaign. He made several other regular contributions
in the form of Tuition Aid (“Adopt a Student”) and establishment of endowments
that will continue to supply support long into the future. Without a doubt, the
Blessed Sacrament School Community has lost a great friend, but we know that he
will continue to remember us in the Kingdom.
We thank God for his generosity and he remains in our hearts and
prayers.
As Pastor, it is my privilege often to
know of the generosity of individuals in our community who make it possible for
us to meet all the obligations we have financially and otherwise. I am in awe of the number of humble, generous
souls who contribute for the good of all.
I extend heartfelt thanks to you who are among that number: you and
God know who you are.
I invite everyone to follow their
example. Blessed Sacrament Parish and
School are a worthy investment of your generosity. What happens here with your support is truly
a building up of God’s Kingdom.
Note: Please
see the insert concerning the Catholic Foundation, including two endowments
which Norbert Rubeck helped to establish.
Contributions to these in his honor would be gratefully accepted.

An Act Of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in
three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
I believe that Your Divine Son became man, and died for our sins, and that He
will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe these and
all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have
revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

DID YOU KNOW that the Word of God is
the Person of Jesus Christ? The Word
that God has spoken is not merely a written text, but rather is a Living
Reality that is continuously present to the Father and to us. When we live by the Word, we do not simply
put wise sayings into practice. We allow
God to speak His Word in and through our lives.
Each of us is a facet of the total Word.
The unique reality of each human being is an expression of the Mystery
of God made known through His Word.
As servants of the Word, it is our
duty to learn more of God and to grow in our understanding of His Will for
us. Faith enables us to receive the Word
in Spirit and in Truth. Our lives then
become the very means by which God communicates Himself to all Creation.
