FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Parishioners, If Septuagesima was a challenge for me to spell in the fifth grade, Sexagesima (sixty days before Easter, which this Sunday is) was right up there with it. Recently, I heard Jeff
Zaslow speak on
the "Last Lecture" which he co-authored with Randy Pausch. You may have
seen Randy's final lecture somewhere on the internet or on TV. Once
again I heard Mr. Zaslow say what I have heard so many times before, do
not wait to tell the people you love that you love them. Despite all
its commercialism, St. Valentine's Day is a good reminder to do just
that. And the Lord does it for us especially in his sacraments. For
example, who can imagine the love summed up in the word: "I absolve you
from your sins?" Going to confession at least once a year is a duty of
all Catholics. But it ought not to be any more a "duty" then to say "I
love you" is a duty. Going to confession is not just good for the soul,
freeing us from our sins but even more to hear the Lord say "I love
you" ...more than we can ever ask or imagine. -- Rev. Christopher R. Armstrong
The Catholic Parishes Pro-life Coalition will meet on Thursday, Feb. 19, in the church undercroft east wing area at 7 p.m. Jack Hart, President of Cinti. Right to Life, and Steve Driehaus will speak. For more info, call 922-0348. |

Father Larry Mick Burse: A Living Legacy for 60-year Jubilee A burse is a permanently restricted endowment, with the interest used to help offset the cost of training local seminarians for the priesthood including tuition, room and board – about $30,000 a year. The goal of a burse is to fully endow one seminarian’s formation. A burse currently: * To be established requires a minimum pledged donation of $25,000. * Provides naming opportunity rights – benefactor or honoree, or as a memorial. * Is regulated by the board of trustees with interest presently allocated annually at six percent. Burses may receive additional capital over one’s lifetime, and even beyond, through inclusion in one’s will. Please make check out to St. Antoninus Parish and mark the memo line “Fr. Mick Burse.” The actual date of Fr. Mick’s 60th anniversary is March 12, 2009. We will celebrate it as a parish on Sunday, March 8, 2009, at the 11:30AM Mass.

Dear Parishioners, This week we had Tom Sparough “The Space Man” perform. He is a juggler who tells stories with a Catholic message. His message kept with our theme this year on service to others. He told the parable of the Good Samaritan and talked about one of his favorite saints, Saint John Bosco. As he told his stories, he wove juggling into each story. Currently our kindergarten has 45 student registered for next year. This is ten more students than we have this year. If you know of anyone who is thinking about registering at our school, please have them call the school at 922-2500.

FROM DEACON DAVID ENDRES Training for the priesthood involves theoretical and sometimes abstract theological elements as well as more practical ones. For the last two months I have been practicing Mass – learning the gestures, postures, words and chants of the Eucharistic liturgy. This is one of the final aspects of training for priest-hood and one of the more practical ones. The final exam for the course on the Mass is a “test Mass” in which other seminarians will play the roles of cantor, lector, servers, and congregation members and we deacons who are nearing ordination will play the role of celebrant. Pray for my classmates and me as we practice leading the Church’s worship in preparation for priestly ordination this May.

HOLY SPIRIT PRAYER GROUP Last week, Kay Schmidl, in her talk, “It’s a Wild World” pointed out how easy it is to be swept up into thinking as the world does about life issues. When we don’t go along and approve of modern secularism we are called “Christian fanatics.” This week her teaching “Where Do We Go from Here?” gives us facts about how and why we are to fight against the false values of the world. The ortho-doxy of our Catholic faith gives us bed-rock truth to stand on and supports us in our fight for truth and jus-tice. As St. Paul exhorted the Ephesians 6:10-11, we are to “put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.” Come and take courage. In Chapel, 7:30 P.M. Tues-day.
