Saturday 3:15pm - 4:15pm Jun 5, 2016 2 OUR PASTOR’S PAGE Open Letter to Bishop Strickland Your Excellency, It is hard to believe that it has been one year since you sent me as pastor to St. Edward's in my sixth year of priesthood. To be pastor of Christ's flock in Athens has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. The people of this parish and town are wonderful. This first year I spent myself in the pastoral endeavors I believed were most important: teaching the Catholic faith to adults and youth; celebrating the Mass with reverence and preaching with passion; preparing couples for the sacrament of matrimony; hearing confessions and making Eucharistic Adoration more available; and working with our separated brothers and sisters in a spirit of Christian unity for the common good of Henderson County. Some of my accomplishments this first year were the following: new liturgical vestments and vessels, and an embellishment of the altar reredos (all paid for by donors); an updating of the parish sound system; a minor renovation of the church hall; new church offices, hours and staff to serve the needs of parishioners; the establishment of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to assist with the needs of the poor; and an increase in weekly offerings by almost 45%. However, I feel that my greatest accomplishment has been a major step in bridging the gap between English and Spanish-speakers at St. Edward's. This can be seen in packed Masses especially on Sundays, with more and more Anglos and Hispanics attending Masses not necessarily in their own language. Of course, there are challenges currently and in the future. Going from two priests to one priest has been an adjustment for me and the parish. Also, Deacon Dave and Penny Finch's relocation to Gainesville has been a major loss, but the people of this parish are responding to the need. With close to 300 children in our Faith Formation program, we are outgrowing (and have outgrown!) our CCD building, which now also houses parish administrative offices. Thanks to the Diocesan Parish/Mission Assistance Program (PMAP), we were able to refinance our loan on the new property and somewhat pay on the principal. We currently owe $429,000, and we have $97,000 in savings. Obviously, we need to continue to pay down our debt through generous donations and fundraisers which will be a priority for me my second year as pastor of St. Edward's. I hope to assemble a building committee this year which will collaborate with the pastoral and finance councils to work on a master plan for the 4.25-acre plot. We will need to prioritize what our current and future needs are as well as maintain the property until it is ready to be developed. Once again, Your Excellency, thank you for sending me to St. Edward's. I am a better priest for the love and prayerful support of the faithful here in Athens. With filial affection and prayers for your most important Office as shepherd of the Diocese of Tyler. I am Respectfully yours in Christ, Fr. Nolan Lowry 3 PÁGINA DE NUESTRO PASTOR Carta abierta al Obispo Strickland Su Excelencia, Es difícil creer que ha pasado un año desde que usted me ha enviado como pastor de St. Eduardo en mi sexto año de sacerdocio. A ser pastor del rebaño de Cristo en Athens, ha sido una de las mayores bendiciones de mi vida. La gente de esta parroquia y pueblo son una maravilla. Este primer año yo lo dedique a las tareas pastorales que yo creí que eran las más importantes: la enseñanza de la fe Católica para adultos y jóvenes; celebrar la misa con reverencia y predicando con pasión; la preparación de las parejas para el sacramento del matrimonio; oír confesiones y hacer la adoración Eucarística más disponibles; y trabajar con nuestros hermanos separados en un espíritu de unidad Cristiana para el bien común del Condado Henderson. Algunos de mis logros de este primer año fueron las siguientes: nuevas ropas litúrgicas y vasijas, y un embellecimiento del retablo del altar (todo pagado por los donadores); una actualización del sistema de sonido de la parroquia; una pequeña renovación del salon de la iglesia; nueva oficina de la iglesia , horas y personal para atender a las necesidades de los feligreses; el establecimiento de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl para ayudar con las necesidades de los pobres; y un aumento de ofrendas semanales por casi el 45%. Sin embargo, siento que mi mayor logro ha sido un paso importante en unir la brecha entre los hablantes de inglés y español en St. Eduardo. Esto se puede ver en las Misas llenas especialmente los Domingos, con más y más Anglos e hispanos que asisten a las Misas no necesariamente en su propio idioma. Por supuesto, existen retos en la actualidad y en el futuro. Pasar de dos sacerdotes a un sacerdote ha sido un ajuste para mí y la parroquia. También, con el Diácono Dave y Penny Finch mudandose a Gainesville he sufrido una pérdida importante, pero la gente de esta parroquia están respondiendo a las necesidades. Con cerca de 300 niños en nuestro programa de Formación de Fe, estamos creciendo (y han rebasado!) Nuestro edificio de CCD que ahora también son las oficinas administrativas de parroquia . Gracias al Programa de Asistencia de la Parroquia Diocesana/Misión (PMAP), hemos sido capaces de refinanciar nuestro préstamo sobre la nueva propiedad y pagar algo al principal. Actualmente se deve 429.000 dólares, y tenemos 97.000 dólares en ahorros. Obviamente, necesitamos continuar pagando nuestra deuda a través de generosas donaciones y recaudación de fondos que será una prioridad para en mi segundo año como pastor de St. Eduardo. Espero formar un comité de construcción este año, que colaborará con el consejo pastoral y finanzas para trabajar en un plan maestro para las 4.25 hectáreas. Tendremos que priorizar cuáles son nuestras necesidades actuales y futuras, así como mantener la propiedad hasta que esté lista para ser desarrollada. Una vez más, Su Excelencia, gracias por mandarme a St. Eduardo. Yo soy un mejor sacerdote por el amor y apoyo con las oraciónes de los fieles aquí en Athens. Con filial afecto y oraciones para su más importante cargo como pastor de la Diócesis de Tyler. Yo soy Muy atentamente en Cristo, Fr. Nolan Lowry 4 Daily Readings/Lecturas del Día Please keep in your hearts and MONDAY • 1 Kgs 17:1-6,; Ps 121:1bc-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8; Mt 5:1-12 TUESDAY • 1 Kgs 17:7-16; Ps 4:2-3, 4-5, 7b-8; Mt 5:13-16 WEDNESDAY • 1 Kgs 18:20-39; Ps 16:1b-2ab, 4, 5ab and 8, 11; Mt 5:17-19 THURSDAY • 1 Kgs 18:41-46; Ps 65:10, 11, 12-13; Mt 5:20-26 FRIDAY • 1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-16; Ps 27:7-8a, 8b-9abc, 13-14; Mt 5:27-32 SATURDAY • Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3; Ps 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6;Mt 5:33-37 MINISTRY SCHEDULE for the weekend of MINISTRY SCHEDULE for the weekend of Saturday Jun 4 4:30 pm Acolyte: Ron Williams Altar Server: EMHCs: Kathi M-B Mary Forester Reader: Tiare McGee Usher: Mary Cothern Mary Waddell 6:00 pm Monaguillos: Jaime & Santiago García MESC: Raquel Cleto Lector: Raquel Cleto Acomodador: Jaime García & Antonio Saturday Sunday Jun 5 8:00 am Acolyte: Ron Williams Altar Servers: Andrew & Brendan Carney EMHC: Jaime Chairez Al Chandanais Reader: Joyce Williams Usher: Gary Molt 10:30 am Altar Servers: Nathan & Tucker Hall EMHC: Yvonne Sparks & Danny Sparks Reader: CJ Brinlee Usher: Mel & Maria Hebert Sunday Jun12 8:00 am Acolyte: Ron Williams Altar Servers: John-James-Samuel Vogt EMHC: Jaime Chairez Al Chandanais Reader: Juan Alfaro Usher: Gary Molt 12:30 pm Monaguillos:Erick Garcia & Gerardo R.
