G.A. Council of Catholic Women

Meeting on April 25 in St. Francis Hall at 6:30 p.m. with a potluck dinner. Please attend!

Guardian Angels Leadership Discernment Evening Thursday, April 28th at 7:00 p.m. in Guardian Angels Church Remember the famous commercial for a major cell phone service, Can You Hear Me Now? I often think of these words when I am talking with parish members about their interest in participating in the new parish leadership selection process.

This process is based on the concept of discernment. As Catholics we believe that God has uniquely gifted each one of us. We are then called by God to use those gifts in service to one another.

for our life at this time.

On April 28th, you are invited to join in this process with other members of the parish who are discerning if God is calling them at this time to be a member of one of the new Commissions.

The evening will begin with prayer and song, inviting each of us to open our hearts and our thoughts to God’s call.

At the end of this prayer discernment time, you will be invited to join one of the Commission groups to share what God is saying to you and exploring if now is the time for you to become a leader in that Commission. The assembled group, led by a facilitator, will self discern who w i l l b e c o m e t h e l e a d e r s fo r t h at Commission for the coming year.

Discernment means to “see” or to “know” or to “acknowledge” what is.

It is a time to quiet ourselves and listen for the wisdom of the Spirit of God. The Spirit prays within us with sighs too deep for words. As we listen to the Spirit, God’s call to us begins to enter our conscious thoughts.

Guardian Angels Commissions The new leadership selection Administration Commission process is designed with this Faith Formation Commission intent. Each of us must quiet our Parish Life Commission own spirit and listen for God’s Pastoral Care Commission Spirit to reveal our calling. We School Commission are not making a decision to Worship Commission become a leader. We are seeking to discover or uncover God’s will

How to Prepare for Leadership Discernment Night • Find quiet times to listen to the Spirit (take a walk on a beautiful Spring day).

• Pray for clarity and wisdom in discerning God’s call.

• Explore which Commission would best fit your interests and gifts.

• Pray for others who are also discerning God’s call.

Our loving God has blessed our faith community with amazing gifts through each one of us.

Now it is our turn to respond to God’s question, “Can you hear me now?” with a resounding “Yes I can!”

FAITH FORMATION Reminder – the Wednesday Evening Faith Formation Programs are in session on Wednesday, April 20. It is a great time to learn about the Catholic faith – HOLY WEEK! Your children’s catechists have wonderful activities planned to enhance their learning and grow in their faith during our highest liturgical time.

Registration information for the 2011/2012 Faith Formation Season will be sent home with students on Wednesday, April 20th. If you are not currently registered in our programs please call Mary Kingsbury to be added to our mailing list.

227-4091 Catechist of the Week – This week we would like to feature our amazing Sunday School catechists! Nicole Rogers, Karen Urivg, Sara Hamrick, and Melanie Coppersmith. This is a dynamic team of ladies who share their gifts and talents with our Sunday School kids each and every week. Nicole Rogers, coordinates the group (along with her other ministries – 1st grade catechist and Winged Warrior coordinator). She brings her experience from her vocation as a preschool teacher to GA and has done amazing things with the program. It continues to grow each and every year, and she and the other catechists are already thinking about new ideas for next year! Karen has been sharing her gifts with this ministry for a number of years, and each and every year she comes back more energized! Karen is a great multitasker and has so many imaginative ideas to share with the kids. Sara is one of those amazing volunteers who came to the office in the fall and said, I feel like God is calling me to give back to the parish that gave me so much as a child/teen!

Sara is not only one of the SS catechists, but a children’s liturgy catechist, member of the adult and HS committees as well! Sara has a natural talent for kids, they love to play and learn from her! Melanie also came to us asking to help with SS, there was no recruiting necessary when we have volunteers like these ladies! Melanie has a very kind heart and very sweet to the kids that helps the kids and parents feel welcome! We are extremely blessed to have SS catechists who are so full of the Christian life and want to share that life with our young children of the parish!

Please pray for our 8th grade students and the chaperones who will be touring our nation’s capital city from April 16th through the 18th. This trip to Washington, D.C. is not only a wonderful experience for them, but is also a culmination of two years of study on American History as part of their middle school curriculum at GA.

Holy Basketball ~ April 29 – May 1 Guardian Angels Church’s 4th annual invitational basketball tournament is just around the corner.

In addition to coming to watch southwest metro parish teams play on Saturday and Sunday, come to the Friday evening mini tournament between present and future priests.

Here’s Why I Know Even Greater Things Lie Ahead for G.A. Mike Hurley recently wrote in about a recent visitor’s impression of our parish. Of you! Mike is a “graduate” of our growing RCIA ministry – it is the spiritual journey led by Emily Klinker and her team of presenters, for those checking out and perhaps interested in being received into the Catholic Christian community.

When I read this email, I knew that parishioners have the winning strategy for taking this parish to 1,500 households in five years, and tackling longdeferred repair and restoration issues over the next three years. Believe me, I’ve never encountered a parish community as friendly to newcomers as this one, not to forget truly intimate in an age of megachurches. Newer members always cite this welcoming hospitality as a chief reason for joining. And also engaging in ministry. Sisters and brothers, I can’t wait to see where G.A. is at in 2016. ~ Fr. Paul Emily and Fr. Paul: I have to send a quick email to both of you, before I log off. This morning, at the 10:00 am Mass, Fr. Paul, as he ALWAYS does, made visitors feel welcome. He asked if anyone was visiting. A gentlemen informed him that he was visiting from Rhode Island. As a fellow Rhode Islander, I couldn’t wait to meet this man after Mass. Right after the Recessional, I walked back to meet this guy and he was surrounded by parishioners, who all welcomed him.

Mark Sanda (Parish Trustee) knew that I was from Rhode Island and was the first to introduce me to him. We talked for a while and he told me that he was visiting his cousin in Chaska. He was retired and liked to check out different churches’ Masses wherever he traveled. He looked me in the eyes and told me that Guardian Angels was the best church that he’d ever experienced. He said that his Catholic wife left the Church years ago, and that if she had ever visited G.A., that she would probably come back to her Catholic Faith. I told him my story…How my parents had left the Church when I was a kid. And that I never thought about coming back. Then, the day after “Christmas in May” in Chaska, I wanted to check out what I left behind.

I walked into G.A. It was Mother’s Day and Fr. Paul gave us all homework during his homily. He told us to remember a lesson that our mom taught us and to live that lesson as a way of honoring them. I was hooked after that. G.A. parishioners clearly do a fantastic job welcoming EVERYONE. My wife, who is Lutheran Christian, always tells me how welcomed she feels at G.A.

They say, Confession is Good for the Soul

It’s also liberating. And it can be the first step towards transformation and wisdom.

I was reminded again of this at our last phenomenal Taizé Prayer and Reconciliation Service. Maybe it was the beautiful music.

Maybe it was how packed the place was. Maybe it was Sue Johnson’s and Susan Rooney’s amazing decorative set up. Maybe it was the wise confessor.

I’d lost a night’s sleep the previous evening. I was profoundly disappointed with myself, wallowing in self-loathing. I had sinned in a way that I detested in others: The previous evening, at a gathering of parishioners, alumni, as well as G.A. School teachers and parents, I committed, in my mind, the sin of boastful comparison and competition.

I’m not talking about athletic performance or business competition.

Competition makes sense in those arenas. You see, I had responded to an attendee’s question asking for a comparison of our parochial school with other schools.

Normally, I keep to the program – a spiritual program of seeing how we all contribute to the good, and how we all contribute some gift, some excellence. Not competition, but collaboration.

I fell. And I boasted about our G.A. School, how it tries harder, is more innovative, and provides a safe and intimate setting where no one can be anonymous … even if one tried. And then – argh! – boasted of our school being better.

I wish I could say that the moment I said it, I regretted it. But I was too caught up in boastful pride. I had forgotten what I often preach and teach: That it’s not a matter of better and best, but a matter of each contributing excellence.

Leading up to the Taizé service, I was wallowing in self-loathing. I’m just another example of a minister preaching one thing, and doing another.

And then my guardian angel guided me to a confessor. Getting it off my chest was like lancing a boil. Like an alcoholic acknowledging alcoholism, like a liar owning up to a lie, my owning up “better than thou” boasting, hypocrisy and disrespect not only felt being liberated from the sin. It, I believe, is the first toward transformation. New behavior.

I’m not sure I would have felt as liberated … or the sin possibly alchemized into wiser action … if I had not gone to a confessor: been heard, given a transformational penance, and absolved.

Sisters and brothers, we are all imperfect. We make mistakes. We sin. This Lenten season should serve as a reminder to all of us – including pastors – to prayerfully consider the liberation and transformation that can come from confession, spiritual direction, retreats, and gatherings like Cursillo, TEC, Koinonia, Marriage You may not be unemployed or Encounter, Retrouvaille. underemployed.

From G.A.ʼs Employment Ministry

The Triduum / The Three-Day Day A single 24-hour day is not sufficient for the celebration of the passion, death, and resurrection of our Savior. From ancient days, Christians have dedicated a 72-hour day – a three-day day called the “Triduum” – for this most holy of holy days.

The liturgies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening flow together ... they are one long three-day liturgy. This is why there is no dismissal at the end of Holy Thursday’s and Good Friday’s liturgies. This is also why there is complete meditative silence between the three days’ liturgical sections.

Furthermore, Easter Sunday is not just one day. One day is not enough. Easter Sunday is an eight-day Sunday, called the Octave of Easter. The eight-day Sunday is symbolic of how creation has been recreated through this most holy of historical events.

Finally, a single Sunday – albeit a 192-hour Sunday – is not sufficient for this sacred time of the year. This is why there is an Easter season that lasts all the way to Pentecost, June 12. (“Ascension Thursday” is now celebrated, in our diocese, on the Sabbath weekend, as the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord: June 4/5.) Pentecost celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the early disciples, and the beginning of the Spirit-led, mission-driven Church/People of God. It is ancient tradition that rose petals, symbolic of the tongues of flame, descend down upon the “ministers of the altar” during the recessional.

“Holy Thursday” / Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Thursday, April 21, 7 p.m.

• Memorializing the Last Supper/First Eucharist • Washing of feet; Eucharist processed to reservation tabernacle • No 8 am Mass, as only one liturgy is allowed on this day • Please remember that there is complete silence at the Thursday liturgy’s conclusion “Good Friday”/ Divine Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion, Friday, April 22, 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (Spanish) • Please remember that there is complete silence before and after the Friday liturgies’ conclusion Other devotions on Good Friday: • Stations of the Cross from Mary’s perspective, read by Sue Johnson: Friday, noon.

• “The Seven Last Words” with meditation by Fr. Paul and music by Teresa Schmidt: Friday 3 p.m.

It is traditional to reverence the three hours that Christ hung upon the cross, noon to 3 p.m. (Christ died at around 3 p.m. in the afternoon.) Historically, Catholic Christians have not worked during this period of time, and have frequented churches or prayed/read scripture at home. If working, please remember the Crucifixion in some manner.

“Easter Vigil” / The Vigil Mass of Resurrection Sunday, Saturday evening sunset (the beginning of Sunday in the Hebrew measurement of a day), April 23, 8:30 p.m.

• Celebration begins for the mobile in front of the church, with the lighting of the Paschal (Easter) Candle.

• The holiest of celebrations of the Christian Church; the Vigil celebration is liturgy in its most elevated form.

• At this annual vigil, RCIA candidates complete their journey, and are baptized, communicated, and/or confirmed.

• Please remember that there is complete silence before the Easter Vigil.

“Easter Sunday” / The Solemnity of the Resurrection of the Lord, Sunday, April 24, 8 am, 10 am, noon (Spanish), 6:15 p.m.

• These Sunday celebrations are more subdued than the Easter Vigil. Baptisms of children usually happen on this day.

• Every Sunday subsequent to this “Great Sunday” is considered to be a “small Easter Sunday.” This is why fasting, abstinence, and penitential practices are not done on any Sunday of the year.
