We appreciate many who have congratulated Fr. Jim on his 25th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood. The parish discussed a reception for the occasion, but Fr. Jim chose to defer this to a later date when he is more settled. In the meantime please continue to mark this important occasion in your own way.
NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
National Night Out 1997, "AMERICA'S NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME," will be observed on Tuesday, August 5th Let your presence be known in your neighborhood by organizing or participating in a Block Party. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you care to make it. For details to register your block with the city, or just for more information, call Kurt Tarkington at 622-4628.
I wonder if our young people realize how important they are. Several things have
brought this out to me lately. For one, recently I officiated at the wedding of
my nephew, the first of this new generation of our family. Seeing Jeff in a tux,
remembering him as an infant and the stages in between, seeing him now at the
age his parents were when they were married-the reality of this generation
taking up their place in our world struck me. Jeff is a great guy, with at least
as much on the ball as those who raised him. It gives me hope for the new ages
to come.
Secondly, while I was away Ray Hoeflinger Sr. passed away. Priests say of such
a parishioner, like others who have passed away lately, "you don't replace such
people." It's kind of a lament that we don't see many people coming up in
parishes with the kind of faith and longstanding church service and support of
people like Ray, his wife Grace, and so many of our longtime members. But in
fact there are such younger people here at Resurrection who are giving their
time and service generously; I hope they know they are the pillars of today and
tomorrow.
Also, some current activities here center on our youth. Sr. Carol is planning
a float trip again; last year I went on the first one with Sister and 3 teens.
We hope for a bigger trip this year. Fr. Jim and I are planning to go. And Fr.
Jim, Mrs. Ziolkowski and Sr. Rene are working through the summer with the
Confirmation candidates. All these things tie together our young people, teens
and young adults, with the parish and the church. They are not just important
for our future; they are important today. And many of them seem well qualified
to be our future leaders and servants.
