Cup o’ Joe<br />

Weekly Reflections by Joseph Zenk, Parish Director<br />

Traditionally within the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, weeks 3-5 within Lent<br />

are set aside for “the Scrutinies.” I know, I know – sounds like a<br />

1950‟s B-grade horror movie or some type of new reality TV<br />

show. But let me tell you – it‟s not nearly as scary as either of<br />

those.<br />

Instead, a Scrutiny is a rite within the <strong>Church</strong> given to those<br />

who are preparing to join the <strong>Catholic</strong> community during the<br />

Easter Vigil this coming April 7. The Scrutinies consist of three<br />

different rites – one for each of the upcoming three Sundays of<br />

Lent – and it begins what is called a period of “Purification and<br />

Enlightenment” for the Catechumen and Candidates within our<br />

parishes.<br />

Now lest I begin to throw around too many churchy-type<br />

words, let me begin with a definition. A Catechumen is a young<br />

man or woman who has decided to enter the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong> but<br />

as of yet has not been baptized. They belong to no organized<br />

faith community and therefore are making a decision for Jesus<br />

Christ and for the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>.<br />

A Candidate, on the other hand, is a young man or woman<br />

who has decided to enter the <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, but has already<br />

been baptized into the Christian faith – just within a church<br />

different than <strong>Catholic</strong>ism. So, for instance, a person who has<br />

been baptized Lutheran or UCC who would decide to join the<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> faith would be a Candidate within our RCIA classes.<br />

While their decision is monumental, it is different than the<br />

decision of a Catechumen. A Catechumen is saying “yes” to<br />

Jesus for the first time. A Candidate has already said “yes” to<br />

Christ in their journey of faith, but they are looking to do it in a<br />

new way that opens them to all seven sacraments.<br />

Back to the Scrutinies. These next three Sundays (including<br />

today) there will be special moments set aside for those joining<br />

our parishes this Easter. These rites are meant to uncover, and<br />

then heal, all that is weak, defective or sinful in the hearts of the<br />

elect (the Catechumen and Candidates) and to strengthen all that<br />

is upright, strong and good within them. Our hope is that these<br />

rites deepen the resolve of these men and women to hold fast to<br />

Christ. Which of us wouldn‟t want to be prayed over in a similar<br />

manner?<br />

While <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Ann</strong> and Holy Rosary have no Candidates or<br />

Catechumen at this time, there are two Catechumen at Ss. Peter<br />

& Paul. Please pray for Noelle & Aaron Bonde as we draw closer<br />

to Easter, where they will experience the waters of baptism for<br />

the first time. May their commitment strengthen all of us in the<br />

“yes” we have already said to Jesus Christ.<br />

WORLD’S POOR COLLECTION<br />

Next Sunday, we will have the annual diocesan collection for the<br />

World‟s Poor. The three agencies represented are official church<br />

agencies that work to help the poor help themselves out of<br />

poverty. In this collection you have a choice to contribute to any<br />

one or all of the following funds:<br />

-Campaign for Human Development is a domestic anti-poverty<br />

program that helps the poor to help themselves – 25% of this<br />

collection remains in our diocese to support local anti-poverty<br />

efforts.<br />

-Bishop’s Overseas Appeal supports <strong>Catholic</strong> Relief Services,<br />

Migration & Refugee Services, Social Development and World<br />

Peace.<br />

-Peter’ Pence is the Pope‟s personal poverty relief fund.<br />

There will not be a second collection this year for the „World‟s<br />

Poor Collection‟. We ask that you place your contribution into the<br />

regular collection. All donations to this special collection must be<br />

specifically marked by placing in it the World‟s Poor Envelope, a<br />

pew envelope or a plain envelope marked World‟s Poor. Thank<br />

you for your generosity to the poor of the world.<br />

OUR LINKED PARISHES’<br />

LENTEN OPPORTUNITIES<br />

LENTEN COMMUNAL RECONCILIATION SERVICE<br />

All parishioners from our three linked parishes of Holy Rosary, <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Ann</strong> and SS. Peter & Paul are invited and encouraged to attend<br />

our upcoming communal celebration of the Sacrament of<br />

Reconciliation on Tuesday, <strong>Mar</strong>ch 27 at Holy Rosary Parish. This<br />

evening will begin with a brief prayer service at 6:30 p.m., after<br />

which five priests will be available for individual reconciliation at<br />

various places throughout the worship space. This sacrament is<br />

an exceptional way for us to prepare for the new life Christ brings<br />

to us this Easter!<br />

with them each day. There are also other materials (including<br />

prayer ideas, daily scripture readings during Lent, etc) you are<br />

welcome to take as well.<br />

LENTEN PROJECT<br />

GO F.I.S.H.– Wow! We are continuing on a very good pace with<br />

our Lenten GO F.I.S.H. Project. This last weekend we collected<br />

$2,045.13 between our linked parishes of Holy Rosary, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Ann</strong><br />

and SS. Peter & Paul. The total to date is $4,200.64. We thank<br />

you for your financial support of this project, but we also ask for<br />

your prayers for the people of Haiti and for the success of this<br />

project in Cuperlier once the lake is stocked.<br />

We will continue to take a second collection each Sunday of<br />

Lent at all three parishes for the Lenten project, Go F.I.S.H.<br />

(Families and Individuals in Support of Haiti). Together, our three<br />

parishes will try to raise enough money to stock fish in the lake for<br />

the people of Cuperlier, Haiti through Food for the Poor, Inc.<br />

STATIONS OF THE CROSS<br />

All are invited to pray this traditional prayer during Lent. Three<br />

different evenings are offered:<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Ann</strong> – Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Rosary to follow.<br />

Holy Rosary – Fridays at 6:30 p.m.<br />

We also offer two opportunities to pray the <strong>St</strong>ations of the Cross<br />

during the day with our Divine Savior School students. Both are<br />

on Fridays: 12:20 at Holy Rosary and 2:00 at SS. Peter and Paul.<br />

All are welcome!<br />

WEDNESDAY EVENING LENTEN MASS<br />

<strong>St</strong>udents & Mrs. Nennig of Youth R.O.C.K.‟ S.<br />

VITAL YOUTH MINISTRY TEAM<br />

invites all parish members to continue to pray for the Youth of our<br />

parish and community during this blessed month of <strong>Mar</strong>ch.<br />

Dear Lord, during this Lenten Season, we pray for our Youth<br />

that they may renew their spiritual life with time spent praying,<br />

fasting and making sacrifices when they give things up, and<br />

almsgiving which will help them to be more like You. With the<br />

guidance of the Holy Spirit, inspire them to resist doing foolish<br />

behavior only to impress others. Fill them with your loving spirit<br />

and an appreciation for the value of everyday. Whatever they do,<br />

we pray, they do this for the glory of You.<br />

Thank you, Lord, for your examples of generosity, kindness,<br />

prayer, love, and service to one another. May our Youth do good<br />

works when they help other people through their daily life. Your<br />

strength and love will become apparent as they take this time to<br />

reflect on who they are and where they are going. Amen.<br />

DIVINE SAVIOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL NEWS<br />

Last (February 27 through <strong>Mar</strong>ch 2) was Read Across America<br />

Week. And we at Divine Savior <strong>Catholic</strong> School had a very<br />

special visitor on Friday. Our Bishop David Ricken paid a visit to<br />

both campuses as well as the Salvatorian Mission in New<br />

Holstein. Bishop Ricken spoke to all our students in the Middle<br />

School classrooms and was treated to original song compositions<br />

by several students. At the Elementary campus he read two<br />

stories to all the students gathered in Voland Hall and enjoyed a<br />

wonderful version of the Our Father the children had prepared for<br />

him using sign language. The Bishop also received a special gift<br />

basket on behalf of our school community.<br />

Our children and staff experienced a very genuine and gentle<br />

man in the Bishop and his rapport with both child and adult left<br />

everyone feeling comfortable and appreciated. We are truly<br />

blessed to have a man of Bishop Ricken‟s temperament and<br />

stature as our shepherd in the Green Bay diocese.<br />

We had many members of our community come in to spend<br />

time and read to our students. We are truly grateful that so many<br />

of our community leaders understand the value of reading and<br />

want to share that passion with children. To all those who gave<br />

so generously, a heartfelt Thank You.<br />

Let‟s continue to celebrate reading all year. Books feed our<br />

imagination which in turn color our dreams and dreams change<br />

the world. Please take some time, in the near future to reconnect<br />

with your favorite book, or maybe find a new one. Reading opens<br />

up windows and expands understanding like nothing else. It<br />

allows us to live richly, live deeply and live forever.<br />

A KNIGHT OF CREATIVE CRUSADES<br />

A Knight of Creative Crusades (Divine Savior School Auction) is<br />

well under way; become part of the excitement and donate a<br />

talent or passion of your own. There are donation sheets and<br />

tickets for sale in the back of church as well as at the Divine<br />

Savior school office. Time is running out and the committee<br />

is eagerly awaiting your contributions. Please get your donation<br />

forms filled out and turned in soon. We would like donation forms<br />

in by April 1. If you have any questions please contact Thomas &<br />

<strong>St</strong>acey DeBruin (920)894-4785. Thank you.<br />

Lent: Letting God Surprise Us<br />

By: Kristina M. DeNeve<br />

Evangelization and Welcoming Director<br />

Diocese of Green Bay<br />

Of all the Gospel stories about Jesus, the cleansing in the<br />

temple is perhaps the one most commonly misused to justify our<br />

actions. Who has not known a “righteous anger,” spoken up or<br />

done something about it, and then used this Gospel to be at<br />

peace with our actions?<br />

There is just one major problem. Nowhere in any account of<br />

the cleansing do the Gospel writers indicate that Jesus was<br />

angry. No Gospel writer spoke of Jesus‟ internal state of mind.<br />

None used violent words to depict the table turning.<br />

Look too at Jesus‟ actions. Never, ever, never does Jesus<br />

“stick up for himself.” Instead, Jesus always, always, always,<br />

absorbs injustice. Absorbs it, transforms it, and then responds<br />

with openness and love.<br />

God does not want us to be punching bags for others,<br />

absorbing abuse (physical, emotional, etc.) or letting injustice<br />

continue. God does surprise us, however, by showing us that, in<br />

the face of injustice, we are capable of acting out of<br />

centeredness, balance, goodness, love.<br />

With Jesus‟ Spirit, even righteous anger does not have to be<br />

angry.
