Congratulations to Father Martin de Porres Bartel, O.S.B., �

Elected Twelfth Archabbot of Saint Vincent Archabbey�

�

He was born November 14, 1955 in Barberton, Ohio. He is a son of the late

Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Bartel, Sr., of Barberton. He is one of ten children,

including Sr. Maura Bartel, O.P., Akron; Elizabeth Bartel, Cleveland, Ohio;

Robert J. Bartel, Jr., Doylestown, Ohio; Regis A. Bartel, Cleveland; Eileen

A. Bartel Volosyn, Cleveland; Patricia L. Bartel Davis, Stratford, New Jer-

sey; Thomas C. Bartel, Barberton; Mary R. Bartel, Cleveland and the late

Karl Bartel. �

Archabbot Martin has been serving as the administrator of the MACH1

(Monaca, Aliquippa, Center and Hopewell) Parish Grouping in the Diocese

of Pittsburgh. In July of 2013, he was appointed pastor of Saint Frances

Cabrini Parish, Center Township, by Bishop David A. Zubik. In September

2017 he assumed responsibility for Saint Titus Parish, Aliquippa, and Our

Lady of Fatima, Hopewell. With the diocesan reorganization initiated in Oc-

tober of 2018, Saint John the Baptist Parish, Monaca, became part of the

grouping, and Archabbot Martin became the administrator of all four parishes. �

Fr. Joe’s Backyard Meetings�

� The Church is truly people and not buildings � it is about living stones, not bricks and mortar.

We are blessed and excited in our grouping that both of our beautiful Church buildings will remain

open in the future. I hope by this time, we are also becoming excited to merge both parishes into one

new, even more vibrant faith community. At the same time, I am very sensitive that for a while, we

will all suffer the lost of the stability and familiarity that our individual parishes provided. These feel-

ings cannot and should not be denied.�

� I am praying hard for everybody that this subsequent pain of changing towards something new

and unfamiliar and even unknown, will give way to a dynamic and faith filled rebuilding process. The

Joint Pastoral Council is already providing us with a major step in the direction of establishing a

healthy and growing community. They have taken my vision as your administrator and prayerfully

expounded on it to the host draft mission statement for our new parish listed below�

�

We are an urban parish of Pittsburgh’s East End dedicated to serving one another both within and

outside our parish, but especially to the poor and marginalized of our community. Empowered by

Christ to spread the good news of salvation, we are committed to forming intentional disciples of

every age and accompanying them in their faith journey, with the goal of fostering an encounter

with and deepening our relationship to Jesus Christ. We do this joyfully rooted in the Eucharist

and our Catholic faith, employing our diversity and talents to support

one another and build the Kingdom of God in love, mercy, and justice.�

�

� I want to invite you to attend 2 summer backyard sessions where

you can share with me the pro and cons of the Mission Statement. I hope

each session will have at least 10 to 12 people willing to attend. The first

one will be at Sacred Heart, Wednesday, July 22, from 6:30 pm to 8:00

pm. The second, will be at Saint Raphael, Thursday, July 23, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. To be more

comfortable, you can bring your own lawn chair. See you there!�

�

�

3� ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH ALIVE� �

� As we keep moving forward with the Merger of our two parish-

es, my staff and many others have asked me for my vision of the new

parish. For everyone that understands the importance of a leader shar-

ing his or her hopes and dreams for an organization, you know that the

leader’s vision changes as the leader seeks input and feedback. �

� Again this weekend, I want to ask you to pray over and study my thoughts about my vision for

our new parish. I am very excited about all that we can become. This vision statement is a work in

progress. The same page will be repeated for the next two weeks since people do not regularly take a

bulletin or read it every week. It has become a hit and miss process in every parish. �

� Thank you for your interest and feedback. I always appreciate your insights and keen sugges-

tions. I love receiving them! �

��

VISION 2021 � 2025: HEARTS ON FIRE FOR CHRIST AND HIS GOSPEL�

MY PERSONAL VISION FOR THE NEW PARISH�

I envision a joyful and powerful renewal of holiness after we merge to become one parish with all our

parishioners walking in the ways and teachings of Jesus the way the apostles did (apostolic life). I see

each of our priests and all parishioners seeking and committing to a personal, deep, and sustained

communion with the Trinity and with each other for the sake of building the Kingdom of God in our

area and reaching together our ultimate goal; eternal life in Christ. �

��

MY PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE PARISH�

In unity and collaboration with the true, exciting spirit of On Mission for the Church Alive, we will

form and equip intentional disciples of every age and accompany them in their on�going conversion

and spiritual growth, so they can more effectively and energetically lead others to Christ and to em-

brace and live the Gospel virtues. �

PARISH GOALS�

Realizing that there should never be more than 3 � 5 goals for a 4 � 5 years strategic plan, the follow-

ing are submitted to merely get minds and hearts imagining. These are simply my personal thoughts. �

�� Affirm the importance of all our current programs and activities and the noble history of both

parishes that inspired them.�

�� Expand our mission to help parishioners to have “hearts on fire for Christ” and pass on that

fire for Christ in a sustainable way. �

I.� Initiate the Evangelization Formation Program: Preambular. Details to follow. �

II.� Design a Plan for consistent Vibrant Sunday Liturgies that honors diversity and local talent!�

III.� Conduct a Parish Revival Mission preached by a dynamic team of Catholic evangelists and

other spiritual leaders during Lent 2021.�

IV.� Establish Family Catechesis within the first year of the new parish. �

V.� Establish an Early Childhood Development Center at Saint Raphael Campus within 2 years. �

VI.� Add Ministries of Outreach within the next 4�5 years.�

VII.�Create Alliances with Ecumenical and Community Agencies within the next 4�5 years. �

VIII.Re�start Neighborhood Food Bank within the first year of the new parish.�

IX.� Other �

�� Embracing Biblical Stewardship and Giving in all its forms as a way of Catholic life.�

��

REMARKS�

If we are to revitalize the Church in our given time, we need to provide greater support to young fami-

lies, especially those families with small children. Young families have a very special need to be

accompanied to full and active community in this parish. �

��

The Vision also affirms the value of Adult Formation and Catechetical Ministry, calling for an expan-

sion of these programs in time. �

If you need to schedule a Mass Intention, please call Barb at 412�661�3100�

�

�

Each weekday Mass that is concelebrated by our priests can have up to three

Mass intentions (one for each priest to offer). If you take a look at our Mass inten-

tions list for the week, you will notice that we have many openings since no day

this week has three intentions. While we work on pinpointing our new Mass

schedule, we realize that scheduling Sunday Masses may be a bit trickier at this

time, but many weekday Masses are still available. Please contact Barb at 412�661

�3100, ext. 110 if you wish to schedule a Mass intention. �

SAFE ENVIRONMENT REMINDER�

�

Anyone who volunteers in the school or

with the parish ministries is REQUIRED

by the diocese to be compliant with all

Safe Environment clearances. If you have

not registered on the Diocesan database

you may do so by visiting

www.diopitt.org and following the links.
