Our Mission Statement

As committed Christians of the Roman Catholic Church in Richmond, Indiana, we are a com-

munity, centered in Christ, rooted in the Eucharistic communion, journeying together in our call

to be holy, constantly discerning the charisms of the Spirit,

making one another disciples of Christ and seeking God’s kingdom

in service, stewardship and charity.

“It will do us good to take the Gospel of Matthew and read the beatitudes -- perhaps a few more times during the week -- to understand this road so beautiful, so sure of the happiness that the Lord offers us. The beatitudes are ‘a Christian’s identity card’ which reveal the “the face of Jesus himself.”

Precautionary measure for health

Last Friday, we met for the first time as Evangelization commis-sion. I am very pleased with this new group of our parishioners who show a huge interest in advancing our mission of evangeli-zation in our parish. As a group we are reading a book written by Fr. James Mallon: Divine Renovation: Bringing your parish from maintenance to mission. I read this book a couple of years ago. Fr. Mallon talks about what happened to his parish when he sphere headed initiatives for intentional evangelization.

He begins with an important question: What is our mission? Our mission begins with Christ’s great commission. The great com-mission as recorded in Mt. 29:19 has four verbs: to go, to make, to baptize or to teach. He explains then that the hinge verbs of all these four verbs is “make” - that is make disciples (matheteusate). Over the last 50 years, we have witnessed the most accelerated social change. Culture greatly supported our faith and what we believed. Everything was normal. Very rarely people opposed the Catholic faith, if they did they either joined another church or they were not Catholics. Making disciples was not really part of the efforts. Fr. Mallon says, “As long as we bap-tized and taught in our schools, we pumped out good “practicing Catholics. In a sense, we got away with not making disciples, be-cause the culture propped it all up.” He also points out that a large number of believing Catholics carry a huge burden of chil-dren/grandchildren who have abandoned “the faith.” We live in a time our culture does not support our faith.

Whether we like it or not, we have an important rediscovery - “make disciples.” The heart of evangelization is a person whose name is Jesus! Being a disciple simply means that we know more about Jesus, believe in each and every word he spoke, love him and to be in love with him. Knowing and loving Jesus brings joy into our hearts. Making visible that joy is evangelization. That joy made Mary rush to the hill country to see Elizabeth, her joy was truly the joy of our salvation - not her salvation! We exist to evangelize!

On Monday, February 24th, I will be presenting on Evangeliza-tion at Holy Family during the Bible study. On May 1st and 2nd, we will have with us one of our nation’s greatest pioneers of the new evangelization, Dr. Ralph Martin. Please do not miss this opportunity to deepen your faith. Please keep in your prayers all the members of the Evangelization commission of our parish.

In love of Christ and his holy Church, Fr. Sengole T. Gnanaraj

I was born in Connersville, Indiana where I attended St. Gabriel School, grades 1-8. It is at St. Gabriel that I started singing when I was still in grade school. I graduated from Marian College with a B.A. in Music Education, go-ing on to teach Junior and Senior High Choir around the Frankfort, Indiana area. I

sang in the Indianapolis Symphony Choir and also played bass violin with the Indianapolis Philharmon-ic Orchestra. I returned to Connersville in 1976 and sang as a cantor and played string bass in the Folk Group for many years. I was music director at St. Gabriel for a number of years. I have participated in Parish Councils, Deanery Councils and Archdioce-san Councils in the past. I have recently retired and am looking forward to helping in any way that I can to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever the Spirit leads.

We understand your concerns regarding Mass intentions to

be said on a particular day to honor your loved one, but we

do encounter problems to accommodate everybody. As

you know, one Mass for the people of the parish is cele-

brated each weekend. Please know that Masses are said

through the week whether or not you attend the Mass.

Each Mass is just as important as a weekend Mass.

HISTORIAS DE FÉ

¿Recuerdas esta foto? Estos líderes de Sudán del Sur firmaron la paz. ¿Recuerdas esta foto? Estos líderes de Sudán del Sur firma-

ron la paz El Gobierno de Sudán del Sur y los movimientos

de oposición firmaron la Declaración de Roma, un docu-

mento en el que expresan su compromiso por el cese a las

hostilidades a partir de este 15 de enero de 2020.

El pasado 11 de abril de 2019, el Papa Francisco se arrodil-

ló ante los líderes sudaneses, les besó los pies y les pidió

que pusieran fin a los combates que datan del año 2013. El

gesto del Papa Francisco conmovió al mundo y, de acuerdo

con Pa’gan Amum Okiech, portavoz de Alianza de Mo-

vimientos de Oposición del Sudán Meridional (SSOMA),

fue un estímulo para llegar a este acuerdo de paz.

Leer: ¿Por qué el Papa Francisco besó los pies de los líderes

de Sudán del Sur?

El documento fue firmado este 13 de enero y presentado el

martes 14 de enero en Roma, en la Comunidad de

Sant’Egidio, un movimiento internacional de laicos, cuyo

carisma es la oración, solidaridad, ecumenismo y diálogo.

Con este acto, el Gobierno y SSOMA —que reúne a todos

los movimientos de oposición que no se han adherido al

Acuerdo de Paz de Addis Abeba— expresaron su com-

promiso con el cese de las hostilidades.

No importa si le vas a los Kansas Chiefs o a San Francisco, este

domingo cuando se disputa el Super Bowl 2020, el evento deportivo

de futbol americano más esperado del año, deberías conocer a

Harrison Butker, el jugador que ha hablado abiertamente sobre su

fe católica y lo importante que es para él asistir a Misa. Criado

católico, alejado de la fe. El pateador dio una entrevista a EWTN en

2019, en pleno ascenso de su carrera habló sobre cómo fue criado

católico, sin embargo, con el paso de su adolescencia comenzó a

alejarse de la iglesia.

Aseguró que mientras creció sintió un profundo vacío en ocasiones.

“A veces interpretas una diferente persona para diferentes públicos,

había un Harrison para el equipo de futbol, un Harrison para las

cámaras, uno para tus padres, otro para los fines de semana, era

una persona fragmentada. Me gustaba el futbol, pero no había nada

más que me apasionara”, comentó en la entrevista.

Butker tiene 24 años. Nació en Decatur, Georgia, está casado con

Isabelle Butker y tiene un hijo de apenas un año llamado James

Augustine. Es uno de los cinco pateadores mejor pagados en la

NFL, los Chiefs lo firmaron en septiembre de 2017 y por sus ha-

bilidades se convirtió en su pateador titular.

Cuando ingresó a la universidad Georgia Tech, donde destacó co-

mo jugador de futbol americano, dos personas fueron básicas en su

regreso a la religión, un compañero, también jugador, de nombre

Grant y el padre Joshua Allen, capellán del campus.

Conocerlos lo llevó a tener interés en confesarse y después de ello

quiso acercarse más a la Iglesia. “Mi mayor salto de fe fue acudir al

sacramento de la Confesión, eso realmente me cambió, cuando salí

ese día del confesionario realmente me sentí diferente, me sentí

como yo, como auténticamente Harrison en todas las áreas de mi

vida”.

Su ayuda en la Misa en latín

Tras haber firmado con los Chiefs y ya en Kansas, Harrison Butker

buscó una parroquia a la que pudiera asistir a Misa cotidianamente

y la interesó, principalmente, la Misa en latín. Así, comenzó a partic-

ipar en la parroquia de Santa María y en San Miguel en Leawood,

Kansas. “Me di cuenta de que es muy difícil para los sacerdotes

tener tiempo para enseñar y coordinar servidores del altar. Era

necesario tener niños y jóvenes para servir, así que me ofrecí volun-

tario. Ahora trabajo para coordinarlos, los muchachos se están en-

terando de la Misa y la tradición y realmente les está gustando”,

declaró en una entrevista publicada en el sitio Adoremus.
