PASTOR'S COLUMN

October 14, 2018

Dear Parish Family:

Not long after my arrival here a year ago, members of our Facilities Commission asked me for a “vision.” I replied that my “vision” for this parish begins at the beautiful tabernacle in our Church with the wood reredos surrounding it and extends through the building to the rest of the world. Recently, a parishioner pointed out that parts of that beautiful structure are cracking (possibly due to the 2011 earthquake). As we all know, disruptions from this past summer threaten to divide the community of people who worship in this “shrine” dedicated to the “Blessed Sacrament.” The attendance at our “Town Hall” meeting several weeks ago is evidence to me that many people care deeply about their faith and this parish. Although our perspectives and opinions differ, we believe that we can work together to effect change in our Church. The Pastoral Council will meet in a few weeks to suggest a response to the “Town Hall” for the parish and a message we might deliver to the Archdiocese along with the minutes of the meeting. As I reflect on this movement of the Spirit, I am reminded of a saint dear to the heart of many whose feast we recently celebrated – St. Francis. He was commanded by the crucified Lord: “Rebuild my Church.” Isn’t that also our challenge in every aspect of the word “rebuild?”

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Bill Foley
