Fourteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time July 8th 2012

Pastoral Corner
July 8th, 2012
I was thinking last weekend, our church should be full. It obviously isnt. It should be full not because of some rule, or guilt but because life needs to be celebrated and our faith is a joyous gift to be shared. Im feeling it is more like a flat tire; oh it can still roll but not very well. We all need to put some serious thought into reigniting the fire, pumping up the tire. It was not always this way and so the question. On January 16, 1875, the first Paulist missionaries to California set sail from New York, traveling around the horn of South America. They were Father Adrian Rosecrans, Father Joshua Bodfish, Father George Deshon, Father Walter Elliott, Father William Dwyer and Father Edward Brady. Other missions followed in rapid succession. Within the first year, missionaries had traveled to New York City, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Michigan, and even Quebec. The New York newspapers took note of the quality of preaching that drew overflow congregations: "As early as four o'clock every morning the streets of San Francisco in the vicinity of St. Mary's were literally alive with crowds of men and women advancing towards the church. On a mission, over the course of one or two weeks, an instruction was given every morning at 5:30am and a formal sermon preached at 7:30pm in the evening. The sick were visited; school children encouraged; confessions heard. The mission journals note that sinners repented, rum sellers reformed, children were baptized. The community grew in numbers, and by 1875 they were preaching missions in California and Nevada. In Utah, for nearly 100 years after the area was first settled in 1848, there were no Catholic churches between Salt Lake City and Ogden. Bishop Duane G. Hunt invited the Paulist Fathers, who had been conducting trailer missions in the Uintah Basin since 1938, to move their operations into Davis County. Their schedule was an extremely busy one. They celebrated masses and gave instructions at various sites throughout the county including the American Legion Hall in Bountiful, the Layton Town Hall, schools, private homes in Clearfield, Arsenal Villa and Anchorage. They also held trailer missions in the Sahara Village and Hill Field, as well as missions in the Salt Lake City area. Here come the sisters; the Paulists were assisted by the Missionary

"They really restore your faith in the country," Mary McAndrews, a retired French teacher, told AFP, a French news agency covering the Tour referring to the Sisters. Ms. McAndrews was attending a packed session organized by the nuns Thursday night in the chocolate-producing Pennsylvania town of Hershey. The times and the issues are different but the message is the same, one of hope for the hopeless, a healing hand and the image of Christ among the people. We all need to do a lot more of this. Thank you sisters for reminding us of our missionary mission to our own people. We really need to do some serious thinking outside the box.

What we Paulists use to do from trailers; Nuns on a Bus are doing now. The National Catholic Reporter described the turnout for Nuns in South Bend, Ind., as the same sort of enthusiastic crowds that often greet Notre Dame teams coming home after big wins on the road. When they rolled into Cleveland, they were cheered like rock stars by more than 400 mostly gray-haired women squeezed into St. Joseph Center.
