My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
There is a lot of good news today.First, last weekend many of you were privileged to meet Father David Allen. Bishop Conley has asked Father David to assist me and serve you as my parochial vicar. He is a native of Wheat Ridge, CO, and a graduate of Regis Jesuit High School. Fr. Dave was ordained a priest in 1995 and has served in five parishes in the archdiocese, most recently as pastor of St. Mary Parish in Breckenridge and its missions and as parochial vicar at the Cathedral. I know you join me in welcoming him to OLOL, thanking him for his priesthood, and assuring him of our prayers. Additionally, Deacon Mike and Deacon Dick have completed their three year terms of service to OLOL. I am thrilled to announce that Bishop Conley has reappointed them here. I know you join me in thanking Bishop Conley for “regifting” our two deacons back to us. We also thank Deacon Mike and Deacon Dick for their devotion to Jesus and the Church and their dedication to us.Today (Sunday) is the ninth anniversary of the dedication of our parish church. Each year on this occasion the parish pastoral council and I award the Founder’s Award. This award is given to parishioners who are living a life of stewardship as evidenced in their devotion to prayer, both communal and private, who serve the parish through volunteerism, and who have made a ministerial contribution to the parish such that other’s can build upon it. They must also be well-regarded in the community and respected for their living in accord with Catholic teachings. I am pleased to announce that this year the pastoral council and I are awarding the Founder’s Award to Steve and Kim Hesprich and to Jim and Monica Mogen. The Hesprich’s recently relocated to Dubuque, and so we are not sure when they will be able to return to receive the award. When they do and we present the award to them and to the Mogen’s, I will share with you stories of these couples many contributions to the life of our parish. For the time being, please join me in congratulating them and thanking them for their outstanding service to us all.Speaking of stewardship, the parish donates 10% of its ordinary offertory income to the poor and to charity. I invite you to apply for these funds on behalf of charities or organizations of your own interest. Application forms are available on the parish web site and in the narthex.Today is Mother’s Day. I extend my congratulations and thanks for all of our mothers. If I can give you one gift this year, it is to recommend a great book to you regarding the motherhood of Mary. It is called The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander. Houselander beautifully depicts the intimately human side of Mary as an empty reed waiting for God’s music to be played through her. You certainly will love Mary and Jesus even more when finished with it. Husbands and children, it makes a great gift for your wives and moms. Finally, please note that there is no 5:30 p.m. Mass this Thursday, 5/17, because of the Regis Jesuit High School Boys Division Baccalaureate Mass, which will begin at 5:00 p.m.
