November 14 - 15, 2015

   

     A few weeks ago, the day after our Clambake fund raiser, we celebrated our sixth anniversary as St. Casimir Parish. That date also was the last day of my term as Pastor. The following Tuesday, I spoke with Bishop Lennon, and he asked me to stay for another six year term. So here I am, pastor of St. Casimir for another six years.

    
     The Bishop and I had spoken earlier about me taking another six year term, so it wasn’t a surprise. He was very pleased with the progress we have made as a parish in the last six years and is well aware of the difficulties we had blending so many different communities into what we now call St. Casimir’s Parish. He also reminded me of the challenges that we will face in the future.

    
     As I look back over last six years, I see many changes that have taken place, most of them for the better. We had to concentrate a lot of effort on repairs and improvements, and to raise the money needed to accomplish them. In the coming years, we will have to continue with those efforts. More importantly, though, we concentrated much more effort in bringing two Lithuanian parishes together, along with welcoming our non-Lithuanian members to their new home.

    
     The challenge we face in the future is to continue our growth. If we are to remain a vibrant Community of Faith, we have to continue to welcome new members and encourage them to become active supporting members of our Parish. This kind of work is not easy and I can’t do it alone. To make this happen, all of us have to work together. We need to reach out to our neighbors who haven’t committed to being members of a parish as well as reaching out to the members of the Lithuanian Community and invite them to become full participating members. All of us also have to reach out to our non-Catholic neighbors and show them the value of becoming Catholic and being a member of St. Casimir’s.

    
      These are big challenges, but they are important challenges. So let us all commit ourselves to another six years of growth - in numbers and in commitment - of our Parish, so that in the year 2021, the Bishop will ask me to stay for another six years.

CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Many American families struggle to make ends meet, but the struggle is even more difficult for the nearly 40 million Americans who have been living in poverty. Across the nation the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) offers solutions by supporting the poor and low-income in acquiring affordable housing, fair wages, and access to health care and vocational training. Your continued support helps to fight poverty in America and defend human dignity. Please be generous in supporting this important work of our Church. We will be accepting donations for CCHD the weekend of November 21-22.
