It Worked Out Well . . . for me that Mother’s Day always falls during the Easter Season as I would always tease my mother that I was just going to grab one of the flower pots from the altar and it give it to her for her Mother’s Day gift and did she have a favorite flower or color as that’s the one I would snatch from the altar. I always threatened to bring a half dead Easter lily home since I knew Easter lilies were not amongst her favorite flowers. She would, as she did so very, very often, just look at me and sigh as if to say, “Where did I go wrong with him?”, a question she asked herself on many occasions, both before and after my ordination. Teasing her about not getting her a “real” Mother’s day gift was part of our annual Mother’s Day experience, which also included me offering to take her out to dinner, but her refusing, saying she would prefer to stay home because it was always so crowded if you went out and then she would proceed to cook on Mother’s Day as if it were any other Sunday. She was a much more stubborn person than I am. (My sister Regina takes after our mother!) I remember all of that, and so many other ways that I tormented my mother on this Mother’s Day weekend. Those of us who no longer have our mothers with us remember all of those good times which we shared, as well as perhaps some of those more difficult moments which they had to endure. To all of those mothers, we pray a Happy Mother’s Day around God’s heavenly banquet table. To those mothers, grandmothers, step-mothers, godmothers, great-grandmothers who are still present with us, we wish you the happiest of Mother’s Day. For all that you do, there should be a Mother’s Day at least once a month, but it is set-up once a year and so we take this day above all others to show our love and our gratitude. Speaking for sons and grandsons everywhere, there are days when we do not show the mothers and Celebrant Schedule: Saturday, May 20 4:00 pm: Fr. Marian Follow Us On: grandmothers out there all of the respect and love that we should but this day gives us the opportunity to remind you that even though we do not show it every day as we should, our respect is real, our gratitude is great, and our love for you is overwhelming! So, remember, even if you get a threequarters deceased Eater Lily, it carries great meaning with it. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Our Catechetical Year for our CCD kindergarten through eight grade students drew to a close this past Sunday and Monday. It concluded immediately after the celebration of First Eucharist with our second grade students – a great bang to end the year on! Thank you to all those who worked so hard to make our CCD program strong, especially to our catechists, to our office aides, to our helpers and all others whose efforts contribute to a great endeavor, the religious formation of our young people. We will still have another week of Jesus And Me (Children’s Liturgy of the Word) during the 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. masses. That will conclude next Sunday, May 21. Those catechists deserve our thanks as well, as sometime it seems that the adult is swallowed up in a sea of young people. We are grateful for your efforts as well. Certainly, our thanks go out to the parents for their cooperation in all of our religious education undertakings. You are the first teachers of your children in the ways of the faith and without your understanding nothing we do would be possible. One of the things that you can be sure of is that even though we have just now concluded the catechetical year for CCD, planning is underway for next year. As I always say of myself, no rest for the wicked! This weekend, if you are contributing to the Trinity Dome for the Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, don’t forget to clearly mark the envelope “Trinity Dome.” Also, those participating in the Baby Bottle Campaign, please return them the weekend of May 20 and 21. Congratulations to Daniel Joseph D’Amato, to Jayden Vincent Dillon, to Patrick Robert Floran II, to their parents and their godparents on the occasion of their baptisms here at Saint Charles Borromeo this past weekend.

She and her parents, JC and Nicole, are all doing well. Yes, we’ve seen plenty of pictures, have Facetimed, seen the videos they have sent but there is nothing like getting to cuddle her in my arms for the first time, to actually feel her against me. Ever since we made the reservations back in midMarch, we’ve been getting little reminders of how much time we have left before we get there to Austin. The first question Kathy asked her heart doctor after surgery was if she can still fly there. I’ve been marking the days off my calendar until we get there. The airline has been sending weekly reminders about how much time before we fly out. Every new picture or video just raises our anticipation level. And on the other side of the picture, JC and Nicole are also excited about us getting there to spend time with the three of them. Kathy and I can’t wait. But wait we must. There were and are things that we needed to do before we made the trip to make sure it was smooth as possible. I think we got all bases covered and we are more than ready to make the trip. However, there is one trip I know we all want to put off as long as possible, the trip to our eternal home. We want to wait for that journey, but unlike our trip to Austin, we really don’t know when that trip is scheduled. So, I hope we are using the time here and now getting all those things done we need to do before we make that last trip to ensure that the journey will be as smooth as possible. Clearin’ the table.

GARDEN CLUB CONGRATULATIONS to the following mini raffle winner: May 11, 2017 – Marie Belfast 9 From the Desk of Erica Galvin KRISTA’S STORY The next two steps in RCIA are the Rite of Sending, followed by the Rite of Election. The Rite of Sending and the Rite of Election normally take place the first Sunday of Lent. Lent serves as a time of spiritual preparation for the candidates and catechumens. During the Rite of Sending the candidates and catechumens stand before the parish and acknowledge their desire to join the Church, and the parish community expresses its approval. Upon approval, the candidates and catechumens sign their name in the parish’s Book of the Elect. After signing, the parish officially sends them and the Book of the Elect to the Bishop for the Rite of Election. The Rite of Sending had duel significance for Krista. Along with signing the book herself, her daughter Ella, signed her name in the school’s book a few weeks prior to signify to the students, their own intentions of making their First Communion. “When my daughter went up to sign her name in the book, I was overjoyed. She is just naturally doing it; she’s being raised in the Catholic faith. I’m happy for her because she is in awe of it all. Then I have to hold back my own emotions and my feelings, because I’m her. I’m that little girl. I’m experiencing this for the first time like she is.” Krista wipes tears from her eyes and continues, “for the first time, it’s my choice. It’s my freedom.” The Rite of Election is a liturgical rite, which occurs at St. Columba Cathedral. During the Rite of Election, the candidates and catechumens express their desire to join the Church. The Church ratifies their readiness to receive the Sacraments of Initiation, and the catechumens and the candidates, now called elect, express their will to receive these sacraments. Each parish brings up their signed papers to the bishop to be put into a Diocesan Book of the Elect. During the Rite of Election, Krista became extremely emotional. “A wave of emotion came over me. To hear the Bishop Murry say to us, that Christ accepts our judgment and calls us to the Easter Sacraments, that’s what I’ve waited to hear my entire life. Everything just became real. I can’t wait feel whole.” (To be continued...) Top Left: Krista witnesses her daughter, Ella, sign the St. Charles School book signifying her intentions to receive First Communion. Above: Krista signs her name in the parish’s Book of Elect during the Rite of Sending. Top Right: Overcome with emotion, Krista wipes away tears as Bishop Murry says a prayer for all the Catechumens. Bottom Left: Deacon Paul carries the Catechumen’s Book of Elect down the aisle of St. Columba Cathedral signifying their commitment to join the Catholic faith.
