    CATHOLIC COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN

    Next week’s collection supports the Bishops’ Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). For more than 25 years the CCC has been spreading the Gospel message locally on nationally on radio television, in print and on the Internet.  It is only through donations from Catholic parishioners that the work of the CCC is possible. Please contribute generously, half of the collection will remain in our diocese. Visit www.CaholicCommunicationCampaign.org for information.

    • Getting Acquainted……….
  • I don’t think of myself as particularly superstitious, but I must admit of a few, one of which I am going to put at risk. You see, I have a superstitious belief that when a parish does a pictorial directory a priest in the parish gets reassigned. I’ve seen it happen twice, and both of which times, I was the priest.

    Now I realize that in both cases I was an assisting priest in the parishes (technically called a parochial vicar) and might have come up for reassignment anyway, but there doesn’t have to be anything logical about a superstition, in fact, most of them are illogical when you really stop and think about them.

    This seems to me that this is a good time, though, to do a parish pictorial directory. Some of us have shifted from one favorite Mass time to another and all of us have had the experience of seeing people at Mass whom we couldn’t quite name. Even with my poor memory for names, even I get asked who someone is. People who know me really well ask me that kind of question so they can make fun of me, hecky-durn ‘em!

    Our Parish Pastoral Council, though, has taken this matter well to heart and is bringing the project from idea into reality in very short order. We have an arrangement with Busson Portrait Directories to make a new Parish Pictorial Directory happen very, very soon. They have agreed to come here and take pictures on June 17th through June 21st and again on July 22nd through July 26th.

    We’ll have sign up weekends before then and those of us who have internet access will be able to schedule on-line. We’ll have a letter soon that will outline the directions and such. While I’m not looking forward to seeing my picture, I do enjoy getting my picture taken. I will keep true to one standard of mine; I will not pose for a picture with my dog. Sorry Champ, candid shots only.                          Father Tom
