CHALLENGING WORDS FROM BROTHER FRANCKLIN It would seem that the intent of Brother Francklin’s most recent letter is to challenge his own people, especially the youth, to seize the moment and really work to build a new Haitian society. Dear Friends, Our country is at a significant turning point in its history. This is the first time the entire world is here with us, wanting to support us. But there are many things that cannot be done on behalf of someone else, even on behalf of someone you love passionately.... Will we Haitian men and women be up to the task and make the effort to think politically, appropriately, intelligently, to take our country out of the abyss where it is today? ...Haiti is our motherland. But unfortunately many of us live here like people in transit, waiting to go to that “I don’t know where” (better) place, perhaps heaven. But as for me, I accept the fact that we have only one country: Haiti. Now is the time for understanding, for respect for one another, tolerance, and for pitching in. There is no more room for jargon, empty words or teaching others a lesson. We must seize the opportunity which the International Community is giving us to develop Haiti.... In spite of everything, we entertain the hope that things will change. Our experience with our new agricultural support program corroborates this. And, 62% of the Haitian population is under 20 years of age! This is an unbelievable asset. While there is good will there, our young people need to be challenged...to be a “revolutionary” in Haiti... Key words are: order, discipline and principle. (We must become) weaponless, stickless soldiers, ready to serve willingly and responsibly to forge a strong prosperous peasantry. This kind of approach is meant to counteract the mind set that is eroding our sense of patriotism and the role of service for and on behalf of others. (Since) the earthquake...we see a very high number of adults leaving Haiti, and children born in the USA who have been repatriated as American citizens. Who today is ready to die for our Country, (for Haiti)? We have Faith in God, in humankind, in Haiti’s future. Let us hope against all Hope. Francklin. ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL - GOAL $90,794.00 To date, 11% of parishioners have contributed to the Annual Catholic Appeal.. This is our “Annual Catholic Opportunity” for building up God’s kingdom through the two dozen ministries of our Local Church. To arrive at our parish Goal, I am asking each family to make a pledge of $75.00. I suggest that you spread your payments over a three-month period if that would be to your convenience. There are those with the financial ability to contribute larger donations. All Holy Name families are requested to contribute their fair share in order to reach this assigned Goal. Our goal this year is to achieve participation from every parishioner Your participation is vital to the success of the ACA not only for these ministries, but for our own parish as well. Please make a gift that reflects your gratitude for God’s incredible blessings. Join me in returning your completed pledge card by placing it in the collection basket within the next week. If you are unable to make a financial gift, please return your pledge card indicating that; we will see that you do not receive a second request. INVOICE - BILLS PAYABLE - ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL Each month and each week scores of Bills Payable for salaries, utilities, supplies, etc. arrive at the pastor’s desk for immediate attention. Every May becomes a Season of Stewardship in behalf of our diocese. For the varied programs provided by the diocese, it depends upon parishes as benefactors in support of these diocesan activities. Yes, an assigned monetary Goal is billed to each parish, that Goal being a percentage of the local church’s income. That assigned parish Goal becomes a Bills Payable, an Invoice expected to be honored by each church Community throughout the eight county region of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. Please be generous in helping Holy Name to honor its share of diocesan responsibilities. 2010 PARISH CASE With the price of electricity increasing January 2011, a major project involving church lighting is our 2010 PARISH CASE. This will be the first updating of the higher ceiling fixtures since the construction of the church in 1967. To save future costs this Parish Case project is being considered a mandate. The cost of this project is yet to be determined but we know it will be in the range of tens of thousands of dollars. Your financial commitment to the Parish Case with contribution made payable to Holy Name Church can be placed in the envelope marked “Parish Case” in the mailing you will receive this week and returned via the collection basket at your earliest convenience. ANY DONATIONS PLACED IN THE PARISH CASE ENVELOPE WILL STAY WITH THE PARISH; DO NOT USE THE PARISH CASE ENVELOPE FOR YOUR DIOCESAN APPEAL CONTRIBUTION. If you have questions please contact the parish secretary before submitting your contributions. CONGRATULATIONS, LOIS DRAHNAK With parish pride, we congratulate Lois Drahnak who will be presented the Prince Gallitzin Cross Award by Bishop Joseph on Saturday, June 5, at Mount Aloysius College, Cresson. Nominated by the Parish Council, we believe this honor is well deserved. For over 25 years, Lois has volunteered to take care of food purchase, kitchen and equipment management and the preparation of all major dinners, wedding receptions and socials held in the church hall. She is a long-time member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, and many years ago worked with Msgr. Lenz in the diocesan office for the Propagation of the Faith. Her spirit of stewardship is an inspiration for us all. To obtain tickets ($30 per person) for the 5 pm Reception and 6pm Dinner at Cosgrave Center, Mount Aloysius on June 5, contact Mrs. Donna Stoy at 695-5579 before May 21. FESTIVAL NEWS 1.
