Good people of Our Lady,
Today we begin our annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. During this
week we highlight and take stock in the great gift that the Catholic parochial
school system has been for the Church in the United States. To grow in our faith
is a wonderful and remarkable thing. It is, however, never complete until we
pass it on. In my experience, there is no one I have met who has had a great ex-
perience of God and conversion who did not want to share it and the new found joy they have found in their life.
To teach, share, or hand on our faith is both a privilege and responsibility of a disciple of Jesus Christ. Regarding
the faith formation of children, parents are always the primary educators. Catholic schools and parish schools of
religion are meant to supplement and support parents in their mission.
When speaking with couples during baptismal preparation classes or marriage preparation classes I stress this very
much for a couple of reasons. First, children in their first few years of life learn through absorption. They absorb
every bit of stimulus from their environment, such as taste, sound, texture, color, and yes, behavior of parents. Par-
ents need to know that they are always teaching (for better and for worse) by their daily example. So, it is impor-
tant for parents to nurture their own relationship with God and with their spouse. When children see these things
modeled by parents, they will naturally be drawn to them as well. Secondly, there is a bond of trust that children
share with their parents. No matter how poorly skilled a parent may be, never on my best day as a teacher can I, or
any other teacher for that matter, compare with a parent on their worst day. This bond of trust cannot be manufac-
tured or duplicated. It develops even during the pre-natal stage of life on through the first few years of parents car-
ing for their children. So it bears repeating that Christ calls parents to be faithful to this mission of being the pri-
mary educator of the faith. For when this occurs then the supplemental teaching we give at the parish level can
help both children and parents become more firmly rooted in the life and mission of Jesus.
As a “first time parent” myself (pastor of a parish with a school), I want to express my gratitude to Mrs. Kempfer,
our principal, along with our faculty and school staff for their hard work and great job they are doing at our school.
It has been a wonderful experience getting to know our teachers and see first-hand, the work they are doing with
our students. I have had an occasional opportunity to visit some of the classrooms and find the students engaged
by what they are learning. I have also added something new this year for our fourth grade students. I have made it
a requirement that all fourth graders learn how to be altar servers even though not all will chose to become a regu-
lar altar server. This has been a great opportunity to teach them about the Mass and Eucharist which are at the
heart of Catholic worship. I will also be visiting our second and eighth grade students as well as they prepare to
deepen their relationship with the Lord through the reception of Holy Communion and Confirmation. These op-
portunities along with others help our children to recognize that while we teach them the regular courses of Math,
English, Science, Social Studies, etc., everything we learn is connected to our life in Christ.
In his second letter to the Christians at Corinth, Paul speaks beautifully about how each of us, seemingly different
as we are, are all part of the living body of Christ. We are many parts. Each of us has so many talents to build
upon and share. So I want to conclude by thanking our parents and parishioners for supporting Catholic education
here at Our Lady and over at St. Pius X High School. It can only happen if we give our time, talent, and treasure. I
thank you for your generosity of the past and encourage you to keep investing in this mission of Catholic educa-
tion. It certainly is not easy financially to keep schools operating these days, but it is not impossible either. A num-
ber of years ago, the Guardian Angels Fund was established at Our Lady as a means of tuition assistance from our
parishioners to families who are having difficulty meeting the cost of tuition. If you are able to assist in this area,
envelopes are available in the back of church or you can put an offering in an envelope and label it Guardian Angel
Fund at any time and place it in the collection. Thank you for your prayers and all your support you give.
God bless you, and have a great week!PARISH STEWARDSHIP
