April 26, 2009 Third Sunday of Easter

Catholic Services Appeal CSA This weekend we will have a s p e c i a l

prerecorded talk from our new

Archbishop Allen Vigneron regarding the Catholic Services Appeal of the Archdiocese of Detroit. Over the past few years, we have been just making our

target. Once we go over our target, everything comes back to the parish free of the regular Archdiocesan tax. It is a really good thing for us to go over.

The CSA provides many services to the parish that are a cost savings. The CSA

also provides for programs that are beyond the scope of any individual parish, like the education of future priests, deacons, and lay ministers.

The Archbishop has undertaken a reorganization of the offices of the

Archdiocese to provide better service and to cut costs. In this effort during his first year as our archbishop, he truly deserves our strong show of support. I encourage you to be especially generous

addition to my regular Sunday offering through Faith Direct and my support to the Master Plan with my second $10,000 pledge, I annually support the CSA with a personal pledge of $1,500 that I pay off

throughout the year. This is all part of my personal tithing plan. I encourage everyone to have a planned approach to giving so as to return to God our tithe of all that He has given to us.

Spring Flowers Whenever I am complimented on how

beautiful the grounds of the National Shrine of the Little Flower look, I am always

quick to point out that volunteers carry out the majority of the work. It is a real labor of love. I am convinced that the love and care of the volunteers contribute to the beauty and health

of all the plants and flowers.

National Shrine Gift Shop-New Item Thérèse. Due to a reduction in warehouse storage space in Flint, they were forced to reduce their inventory on many of their statues. Due to this reduction, we were

able to negotiate a very good price for this statue. It normally runs $39.99, but we can make it available for only $25. The supply is limited, so it will be sold on the first come first serve basis. If you have any questions, please contact Jack Hoolehan on 248.541.4122, ext. 418.

In the sacristy, all of the coat of arms of the bishops and archbishops of the Church of Detroit who have served since the establishment of the National Shrine of the Little Flower are hand-painted on panels. In this edition of the Herald, you will

find an article on Mr. Phil Savaglio who volunteers his time and talent to keep this part of our history up to date. It is a slow and arduous process, but Phil does it with real love and devotion for his church. For all of you and for myself as well, I express our deep gratitude.

Pontiac Parishes The Archbishop has appointed Father James Kean as the pastor of the Pontiac Catholic Community. I am most grateful for this. However, Father Kean will not

become pastor until July 1 of this year. For the next two months, I will remain the Administrator of the parishes in Pontiac. During this time, I am working in close contact with the future pastor. It is my responsibility to implement many of the recommendations of the audit of the Archdiocese, to correct and streamline the business operations, and to bring about the merger of the parishes into one unit.

There are still many tough decisions to carry out so that the new pastor steps into a workable situation. Having worked with them since the beginning of the year, I am convinced that the Pontiac Catholic Community under the leadership of their new pastor is on the verge of very positive growth and a renewal of vision. Keep me in your prayers over the next two months.

Pilgrimage Our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land in October is progressing nicely. There are still

openings for more pilgrims. If you are interested and have questions, please contact me. The program is available in the vestibules of the church or on line at the National Shrine website.

Rosie & Carlito Rosie is happy now that spring is springing up all over. Soon there will be roses, her favorite flower. I wonder why?

Undergraduate studies at Sacred Heart Major Seminary are not free for future

exciting initiative to help increase vocations by helping our future church leaders

avoid significant student debt. The Fund exists to ensure that no vocation should be hindered because of lack of funds and provides financial aid to support vocations at Sacred Heart.

"Lord Jesus, good and gentle Jesus, who

deigned to die for our sins and to rise for our

justification, I beg You, by Your glorious

Resurrection, to bring me out of the sepulcher of

my vices and sins, so that I may merit to have a real

share in Your Resurrection." - Divine Intimacy

"O most loving Lord Jesus Christ, although You have loved

me inexpressibly, I, a wicked sinner, enclosing in my bosom a

heart of stone and iron, have not recognized Your burning

love; and even though I desired Your afffection, I did not

want to love You. Deign, then, to come to my aid, O most

merciful Lord Jesus Christ, and by the violence of Your most

sweet love, force my rebellious soul to love You, so that I may

serve You in peace and attain the unending life of love."

Attention Gardeners! It's Spring This message is for anyone who is interested in joining our gardening group, and all of the returning gardeners. The spring cleanup has been done for us

this year.

We would like to have just a short meeting on Monday, May 4 at 7 pm. Please meet in the Grotto area. At that time, we can firm up your existing area, and for new gardeners to adopt a spot.

Please do not feel like you have to be an expert or

have a green thumb to participate. If being outside, getting your hands dirty, and literally seeing the fruits of your labor is up your alley we can help you out.

There are plenty of areas that are available, roses that need attention throughout the summer, or we could use people that just want to weed.

If you are unable to come to the meeting on May 4, please call so that we can make other arrangements to give returning gardeners your spot and assign new gardeners with what you may want to do. Thank you!

Bishop Coat of Arms The National Shrine Church is blessed with many volunteers, all doing many different kinds of

projects. Many of these good deeds go unnoticed, but they are very important to the daily running of the church.

Phil Savaglio, a long time member of the National Shrine

(since 1960) just completed one of those unusual volunteer protects. He painted Archbishop Allen H.

fourth coat of arms that Phil has done, which includes Bishops

Dearden, Szoka and Maida. Beatrice Wilczynski our famous National Shrine artist painted Bishops Gallagher and Mooney coat of arms.

Phil learned this painting process from Beatrice back in 1980. She responded to him in a

letter explaining the many step procedure: you first have to remove the finish from the panel as the oil from the wood would bleed through the fresh paint,

then sand the wood area, next you apply six coats of Gesso (you must sand between each coat) and then you can start to apply the final paint colors. The entire process takes about five

to six weeks to complete.

You might remember

played our National Shrine organ for many years. They were married in 1958 and she encouraged him to do the coats of arms back in 1980.

Lending Library I t i s v i t a l t h a t C a t h o l i c s b e c o m e educated about the whole area of life

issues, in view of the onslaught of messages from the media and the secular culture promoting practices in direct opposition to what the Catholic Church teaches. "If you want to understand the forces that led to

the sexual revolution, the legalization of abortion, and the growing support for same-sex marriage and physician-assisted suicide, you will want to read Architects of

the Culture of Death. Writing in a clear

and engaging style, its authors, Demarco

and Wiker, explain not only the thinking of the major figures who count as the architects of the culture of death but also hold the magnifying glass up to their lives, revealing how their personal views on religion and morality shaped their

thinking. One result of this dual approach is the disclosure that many of these architects were more interested in redesigning society to justify their personal behavior than in arriving at the

truth." (Review by Raymond Dennehy). It contains profiles of 23 people who have been very influential in this whole historical development. [See Section 7, Current]

Lending Library hours are Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm, and Fridays from 9:15

am to Noon, in the National Shrine Conference Center, Room C (across the alley from the Northwood parking lot). For information call Kathy McGuire at 248.541.6834 or JoAn Gilleran at 248.629.4045.

National Shrine Boy Scout News The National Shrine of the Little Flower Boy Scout troop will be camping at the West Point Military Academy from May 1 through 3. The boys will be

participating in cadet-led physical training and other activities such as Wilderness Survival and Land Navigation. We ask you to pray for their safety. The scouts owe this unique adventure to Mr. Warren Palmer, former ScoutMaster and proud father of the two cadets who are sponsoring our

troop. Special thanks also to current ScoutMasters Mike Keith, Chris Ehlen, Pat Krease, and Joe Romano for the many hours they have committed to prepare the scouts and parents for a good showing in West Point.

Notice CPR & AED Training This notice is specifically for current National Shrine AED Responders and to those National Shrine parishioners who would like to receive CPR & AED training to become a member of the National Shrine AED Responders. At this time, there are 63 individuals who originally received training and/or refresher

training at National Shrine AED Responders and must now receive refresher training to keep up on new CPR guidelines and reacquaint you on the use of the AED.

Two dates in May have been scheduled with A-1 Health & Safety Education, to provide current National Shrine AED Responders with refresher training and any parishioners wanting to become a new National Shrine AED Responder member with Adult/Child CPR & AED training according to American Heart Association guidelines. The training provided is designed for lay rescuers, with no prior medical

experience necessary. Additionally, there is no testing involved for completion of this training and no certification issued. Knowing that it is critical to get current and new National Shrine AED Responders to training for the benefit of National Shrine parishioners, special arrangements have been made for these training sessions, so that there is no cost to you to receive the training. All training will take place in the National Shrine Conference Center Seton Hall and you only need to attend one of the training sessions.

The CPR & AED Training Dates Are As Follows:

Training Session #1: Saturday, May 16, 10 am to 1 pm; and

Training Session #2: Thursday, May 21, from 6 to 9 pm.

What You Need To Do: Please! - All current National Shrine AED Responders who received CPR & AED training at the National Shrine previously and those wanting to become a new AED Responder need to do this. Select one of the above training dates which you can attend and contact Rick Lowery, by phone or email to let me know of your choice, and please leave your phone number. If you are able to attend

either training session, let me know that also, with your preference. This will allow us to balance the class sizes if necessary. Contact Rick, by Wednesday May 13, if you are attending the Saturday, May 16 session, and by Monday, May 18, if you are attending the Thursday, May 21 session.

Rick Lowery can be reached at 248.546.0934 home or [email protected] - email

Thank you, for your time commitment and continued support to this ministry.

Holy Hour for Vocations "Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send Laborers to His Vineyard" in a Holy Hour before our Eucharistic Lord. Please join us in prayer on Sunday May 3 from

2:30 to 3:30 pm in National Shrine Church to ask God to grant us vocations, to call many of our young people to be holy priests and consecrated men and women. In response to World Day of Prayer for Vocations we gather to ask Mary our tender Holy Mother to intercede for us and Jesus to grant us

consecrated persons after his own heart.

31 Club The 31 Club is a great club to belong to.

No dues, No meetings ... just put your name on

one of the poster signs located at each

entrance of the Church.

Knights of Columbus A special thank you goes out to all of our Brother Knights, Squires, wives and children who helped this year with the tootsie roll sale for the mentally challenged citizens of our community. We also thank all of those parish members who made any donation towards this worthy cause. This is an annual event for us and this year we raised over

$5,400 for those citizens who are mentally challenged. With all of the budget cuts and the rough economy in Michigan, the need for monetary help is greater than it has been in years past. Again, thank you, everyone, who helped in any way with this event.

The Knights of Columbus welcomes our recent RCIA graduates. We congratulate you on the completion of your course of study and acceptance into the Church. We challenge you to continue to grow spiritually and to put your faith into practice.

On Saturday morning we hosted our annual soccer challenge event. It was held at the Shrine Catholic HS athletic field. Thanks to all Brother Knights who came out to help prepare the nets, judge the competition or help with registration. Your assistance was greatly

appreciated. We would be out of line if we didn't let SK Norm Brault know that he did a great job again this year pulling together all the pieces to make this event successful.

We welcome our newest members who joined our ranks on April 13 in Madison Heights. Welcome Brother Knight Ryan Addams ( seminarian); Brother Knight Scott Chaney.

Last Sunday, several members of the council had the privilege of attending the investiture service for our newest Squires members. We welcomed 10 new boys to the Squires Circles in the Archdiocese of Detroit. We share a common greeting with our boys, "Esto Dignus ", which means Be Worthy. We know that each of these hard working boys will accept the challenge and serve their parish community well. Over the years, we have

come to know and appreciate all of the hard work done by our Chief Squires Counselor, SK Joe Chase. As our circle continues to grow, we have need of assistance with a father or Brother Knight who would be willing to serve as an assistant Counselor for our kids. If you are interested, curious, or just want to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly spend the necessary time to answer your questions.

The Knights of Columbus Council at the National Shrine Parish administers a scholarship award on an annual basis for a deserving student. The scholarship is named after our departed BK Frank Ward and his wife Mary who served the parish community faithfully for many years. With the help of their daughters we award the scholarship money to an incoming Shrine Catholic

Academy student. The scholarship is based on need. We

ask that the students applying have a good GPA. Applications are due to the Academy office by May 1 and can be obtained and returned to Matt York.

This Tuesday is our bi-monthly meeting. We are going to dispense with the formalities of the meeting structure and have an evening of guest speakers slated to address the parish and council members on a variety of subjects. We will talk about Catechism

classes for special needs children; Maria Ward with Matt York will talk about the scholarship and its requirements; and we will have people available who can answer questions about the Knights of Columbus and what we do. The whole evening will start at 7:30 pm in the National Shrine Conference Center and is open to all parish members.

In May, we will host an evening prayer service in honor of Mary, patroness of the Americas. The Our Lady of Charity icon will again visit National Shrine parish on its journey from Havana, Cuba. It will visit each parish in the United States where there is a Knights of Columbus presence.

This year we will again march in the Royal Oak Memorial Day Parade. All Brother Knights are welcome to walk with us as we show our respect for those

veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Vivat Jesus! Frank Roche, Archdiocese Director

A Vigil Mass for St. Joseph The Worker April 30, 7 pm, National Shrine Church

If you are employed, underemployed, or

unemployed come and share this special Vigil Mass for St Joseph the Worker. St. Joseph had the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Come and pray with your fellows that the heavy burden of concern will be lifted from our hearts and that we will soon be able to provide

for those that God has entrusted to our care.

Intentions

April 2009

General: That the Lord may bless the farmers with an abundant harvest and sensitize the richer populations to the

drama of hunger in the world. Mission: That the Christians who work in areas where the conditions of the poor, the weak and the women and children are most tragic, may be signs of hope,

thanks to their courageous testimony to the Gospel of solidarity and love.

If you know residents at the facility or you would like to join us for Mass to pray and sing, you are welcome.

So often it is in the food, the sharing of a meal, in the breaking of the bread, that we truly come to know one another. Somehow, a shared meal brings comfort. It nourishes our soul as well as our body and we find ourselves relax ed, not
