From the Pastor Pastoral Pondering

By this point we have touched on a variety of comments gleaned from the parish survey. Continuing to address the feedback from the survey overall is the task of the Pastoral Council as they formulate our Parish Pastoral Plan. Part of that process is communicating with the parishioners regarding the survey results and how those results are being addressed overall. As topics or concerns are presented to me, I will certainly address them as best I can in the limited space available here. If you have items of concern or things that you believe should be addressed in some way, please make use of your Pastoral Council members.

There are two Councils that each parish is required to have in the Diocese of Charlotte, the Pastoral Council and the Finance Council. Both are advisory bodies that assist the pastor in carrying out his role as shepherd of the flock, each according to its own area of expertise. I am very proud to say that both of these bodies work very well at St. Mark.

I am indebted to all of the parishioners that offer themselves in service to the parish in this way. They serve faithfully and often quietly behind the scenes. Their wise counsel, however, is invaluable to me and a great benefit to the Parish. I want to publicly thank Dennis Kazmierczak who has served as the chairman of the Finance Council throughout my time here at St. Mark. Dennis has completed his term on the Finance Council and Mike Buttner has accepted the role of chair. Please join me in thanking Dennis for his generous service and Mike for his willingness to take on this new role. In the coming weeks, I hope to provide brief bios of various volunteer and staff so that the wider parish can get to know them better.

Today’s Gospel from the Book of Matthew again includes parables. We have been hearing the Lord share parables with us throughout our readings in recent weeks. Interestingly Matthew contains 23 parables (or teachings classified as parables), while Luke has 28. Mark

has only nine, and John has none.

The first parable we hear today is called The Parable of the Wedding Feast. In this story shared by Jesus for our benefit a king is hosting a wedding feast for his son. He sends out invitations and people ignore them or choose not to respond. It may seem somewhat remarkable to us that people turn down an invitation to a royal wedding feast.

Yet, the Lord invites us to join Him on a regular basis through Holy Scripture and the Sacraments. Many ignore the invitation, and in most cases are, not even aware of the fact they have received it. Those who read this are aware of the invitation. The question is “How do we respond?”

What do we do after we attend a Holy Mass? What is our reaction to the reception of Christ’s incredible gift in the Eucharist? We may not make light of it like some of the people in the parable, but if we merely go our separate ways, and do not strive to be active disciples, we are basically doing the same thing as those Jesus describes in this parable. In one of his first appearances Pope Francis declared, “Go make disciples of all nations.” We cannot make disciples unless we are ourselves disciples.

Living and Growing as Stewards is a Lifetime Conversion

Following Jesus is the work of a lifetime. At every step forward, one is challenged to go further in accepting and loving God’s will. Being a disciple is not just something else to do, alongside many other things suitable for Christians; it is a total way of life and requires continuing conversion.

To become a good steward is to place one’s life in the hands of God. To recognize His grace in daily life and to respond by sharing our lives, our faith and our resources with others.

When we live our faith by sharing our gifts and caring for others, we have the opportunity to allow God’s love to be known and experienced through us. Contact our Stewardship Director at [email protected] if you wish to share your gifts at Saint Mark.

Mass at Charlotte Douglas Airport As you make your get-away plans, keep in mind that the Airport Chaplaincy at Charlotte Douglas Airport offers a Catholic Mass at 8:30 and 10:30 am plus a non-Eucharistic, Prayer and Scripture service at 9:30 am.

“A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.” Pope St. John Paul II, Address to the new ambassador of NZ to The Holy See, 2000

Celebrating Children at St. Mark To the parents of our young children, may we suggest... Relax! God put the wiggle in children: don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s House. Sit toward the front where it’s easier to see and hear. Quietly explain the parts of the Mass. Sing the songs, pray and say the responses. Children learn liturgical behavior by copying you. Feel free to leave Mass with your child if you need to, but please come back! The way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God and to Jesus. Let them know that they are at in home this liturgical gathering.

To the members of the parish… A smile of encouragement and a kind word are always welcome to parents with small, active children.
