Alleluia! Give Thanks!
A heartfelt thank you for the exceptional work of the MANY hands who helped clean, re–arrange and set up church so that we were able to celebrate the last three weekend Masses AND view the progress of our painting project! When the work was finally completed last Friday, it took a village (the Martha Ministry, Carol Schiro and Mike Pellegrino, Willie Cummings and about 15 ladies from Stella Maris) to eliminate many layers of dust and debris left behind. We are truly blessed!
Pastor Column 7.3.2022
As we celebrate July 4th we thank God for the opportunity to live in a land where there are
many ideas and beliefs that coexist because of the freedom we enjoy. While the pursuit of total
freedom is not yet fully recognized among all citizens, the very vision is what keeps our nation
on track. Far from perfect, it’s a society that is admired throughout the world. And because of
the imperfections, we should be seeking correction, reconciliation, and healing.
Realizing that the abortion issue is front and center in light of SCOTUS’ recent reversal of
Roe v. Wade and related cases, there is a great deal of confusion for many. And anger. And anxiety.
However, the decision – on many levels – now affords a dialogue that has been missing since 1973. What is the actual role of the state? What has science discovered about a human’s fetal development and the pain that an aborted fetus feels? What have medical advances revealed about a baby’s personhood? How does our system need to reform in order to support moms who choose life for their children? What are the actual statistics about rape and incest which are among leading arguments to justify abortion? How can equity in the workplace help to secure a
woman’s right to be both a mother and have a successful career? What is the biological father’s responsibility toward the life he brought into the world? How can the government substantially support children and families? Let’s pursue the possibilities for a society that embraces life!
When the decision of Roe v. Wade was rendered (whether one agrees with it, or not), any chance for dialogue was severely curbed. Now that it belongs to each state within our great Union, let’s have those dialogues. For us Catholics, this incorporates faith and reason. Let’s talk about our human dignity as beloved of God while we actually follow the science which has greatly developed since 1973. Shouting on the corner of the market place is one thing, but in- formed and prayerful dialogue will be more productive in the long run. Christians should be
about authentic metanoia, that is, a change of heart because we’ve encountered logic, truth, grace, and charity.
Let freedom ring for the unborn citizens who deserve a right to live. And then let’s build on that as we continue to address racism, immigration, sexism, and whatever else needs examination within a culture of life.
Yours in Christ our Life,
Fr. Gurnick

Prayer for Memorial Day , 2022
God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons
and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. R/. Amen
