A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners:
I
am writing this message to you on a very snowy day of February, 2007, as we are
experiencing weather that is slowing us down.
We have had two days of no school due to the extreme cold and from the
nature of the snowfall I am observing, it looks like we will have a snow day
tomorrow, perhaps all week! We have just
completed a very successful Catholic Schools Week, with an Open House and a
Grandparents Day celebration that have reminded me of what is most special
about Blessed Sacrament. I have decided
to look ahead to the day I will have to say Goodbye and to work my way back so
that I live these days I have left with you to the full.
As I reflect on my time at
Blessed Sacrament, what I will remember most are the days we come together as a
Family. We are a Family of
Families. Our efforts are always to do
what we can to support Family Life and to build up the Faith we share by
putting it into practice together. Our
new School and
To
put it very simply, we are united as a community of Love. I have had the privilege of serving you as
your Pastor at a wonderful time of growth.
You are forever mine, and I am yours.
We belong to one another. I
cannot put into words just how deeply grateful I am for all that we have
experienced together.
My prayer has been that I will be with
you to the last possible moment, the second Tuesday of July of 2008, which is
the usual time for changing in our Diocese.
If that is so, then you are reading this entry on a summer day. Please pray for me and for all the priests of
the Diocese who are taking up new assignments in the Lord’s Vineyard. Know that I will always hold you in my heart
and prayer as well. God bless you!

A Pastor’s Personal Prayer
Lord, grant Your servant a listening heart.
To
You, my God, Father, Son and Spirit,
I consecrate my heart, my life, my all.
Anointed by Your Spirit and consecrated
for service among Your people,
Ordained to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ,
I stand to worship You in spirit and in truth,
to lead Your people to knowledge of Your Kingdom
and to bring Your love into our broken world.
May
my own faith, given to me at Baptism,
serve to help others see Your goodness.
May the gift of hope, residing in my heart,
serve to give others confidence in Your mercy.
May my heart burn with Your own love
that You Yourself may give life to our world.
You
have called me by name
to be Your son and Your priest,
oh Lord, my God.
I stand before Your Church
and offer myself to You as son and priest,
that in my heart You may hear
the longings of Your people
and dispense Your providing love among them.
In
union with Mary, Mother of the Church,
Mother of priests, and my own Mother,
I give You my heart to receive Your Word,
on behalf of Your people and for our times.
May
all my words and actions
serve to bring peace and reconciliation
to all who seek You.
May my hands dispense Your blessing
upon Your people
and touch them with Your healing mercy.
May my whole being
be permeated by the power of Your love
and may my life be spent
in doing Your will, now and into Eternity.
Renewing
the commitment of my Baptism,
and calling on the power of the Holy Spirit,
Whose anointing I have received,
I stand in the truth of who I am,
before You, Father,
and with all in the Communion of Saints,
and make my prayer
through Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.
Rev.
Timothy M. Hayes

(COLUMN 3)
DID YOU KNOW that in many languages,
there are two ways of saying farewell?
One is “goodbye forever” and the other is “till we meet again.” As Christians, we know that no goodbye is
forever. We know that we will meet
again, if not in this life, then in the next, as long as we find our way to the
Kingdom.
As your Pastor, I say, “arrivederci.” I trust that we will cross paths again, in
this life and in the next. We are
forever united at the Altar of the Lord.

Plans are underway to host the Third Annual Single Parent & Family Fair on Saturday, August 9th, 10am – 2pm in the Annex & parking lot. Our goal is to have a total community sponsored event targeted to single parents, or any family that is financially, emotionally, or spiritually challenged. This annual event will enable family’s free access to a wide variety of resources that may help alleviate some of their short and long term burdens with the immediate focus on getting single parent families/children ready for school in August.
We plan to offer fun for the kids along with free services such as: hair cuts, car washes, & oil changes. Our plan is to invite agencies within the city & county such as the Health Dept., Job & Family Services, Pathways, to name a few.
We are requesting donations from area churches and business to help is this big endeavor such as: school supplies, & book bags. We are also requesting items that could be used as door prizes such as gift cards to local stores.
A list of school supplies will be available in our church vestibule. Donations will be collected in the church Vestibule or parish office.
If you work for a company or agency that could help with providing services, set up a table of information or volunteer at this event contact Monica Stanley 763-4047 or Kathy Wilson 345-4290.
