At the Breaking of the Bread last month Mrs. Kreutzer, Faith Formation Coordinator, presented Miss Judy Kosinski a Sacred Heart of Jesus in honor of her 35 years of ministry as a catechist. Miss Judy has prepared countless children to receive their First Communion! We are so blessed to have her teaching our Faith Formation Third Graders!

Congratulations to Martha Librock, our recipient of the St. Joseph the Worker Award!
The Pentecost Second Reading says, “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” Martha truly shares her gifts with our parish. Just this week she and the Social Committee provided the reception for our Confirmation Mass. She also made the dinner for Bishop Malone, our priests and deacons before the Confirmation too. Martha is also a member of our Liturgical Environment Committee.
No task is too big or too small for her. We are so blessed to have her gifts and talents as part of our parish community. This photo was taken as she was preparing for the St. Joseph Table, and appropriately taken with the St. Martha Statue in our parish kitchen!

Another amazing turnout for our second Life in the Eucharist Retreat Session at St. Joseph Church in Holland!
The session’s theme was Eucharist as Reconciliation. Fr. Bob Wardenski noted that every time we’re at Mass receiving Eucharist is Reconciliation. We experience God’s mercy and love at Mass. Deborah Keenan gave a witness talk on how Eucharist helped connect a strained family relationship.

We feel so blessed to have over 140 people at our first Life in the Eucharist Retreat Session at St. Vincent de Paul in Springbrook!
Fr. Jerry gave a wonderful presentation on Eucharist as nourishment. Deacon Kevin Barron gave a beautiful witness on the same topic. He also challenged us to invite others to our communal meal as an invitation to a guest of honor. He noted that telling people they will go to hell for not coming may not be an effective invitation. He also shared ~ “See you in the Eucharist” is a reminder that when we receive Eucharist everyone is there regardless of their location.
Fr. Jerry taught us about Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament before leading us in worship.

On November 5th some of our 7th and 8th Grade Faith Formation youth took a trip to St. Joseph Cathedral. They toured the Cathedral and then stayed for the 4:30pm Mass. We were especially touched when both Fr. Bob’s brother, Michael Wardenski and our retired parish secretary, Gay Ann McEwen were included in the Prayer of the Faithful there.
Many of the young people were fascinated by the organ (it has 5000 pipes), and they were all intrigued by the Reliquary that contains 366 relics!
