FINANZAS DE LA CATEDRAL UN
MENSAJE DEL PADRE O’REILLY
THE WEEKEND COLLECTION
FOR APRIL 25/26 WAS $8594
CATHEDRAL FINANCES
A MESSAGE FROM FR. O’REILLY
During my time as pastor of several parishes earlier in my
ministry, I did not spend much energy thinking about the
Cathedral. It was a beautifully restored Bishop’s church which
hosted services such as the Chrism Mass and ordinations.
However, during these past 3 years as rector and pastor of the
Cathedral, I have been afforded the opportunity to reflect more
deeply on the beauty of our church and, more importantly, on the
people who make up the diverse parish of the Cathedral of the
Blessed Sacramento.
The Cathedral is home to a viable parish which functions the
same as other parishes within the Diocese. Like other parishes,
the Cathedral pays a Diocesan assessment. The parish also pays
for maintaining the Cathedral and its many sophisticated systems.
Contrary to what many people believe, the Cathedral parish does
not receive any financial support from the Diocese.
The ministries, services and overhead expenses (liturgy, CCD,
helping the poor, staff, maintenance, utilities, etc.) provided by
our parish require approximately $20,000.00 each week. While
our parish has several sources of income (weddings, candles,
weekday mass collections, CCD fees, etc.), the largest single
source of revenue is the weekend collection.
Through the first half of fiscal year 2014-2015, parish expenses
exceeded ordinary income by almost $18,000.00. Because of the
parish’s operating expenses, our parish Finance Council set a
weekend collection goal of $12,000.00.
Last weekend’s
collection totaled $8594.00.
As pastor of the Cathedral parish, I greatly appreciate your
generosity as we work together to carry out our parish’s mission.
In order to keep you informed, the weekly Bulletin will include
information about our parish finances. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at the parish office.
Durante el tiempo como párroco de varias parroquias
anteriormente en mi ministerio, no usaba mucha energía
pensando respecto a la catedral. Era una iglesia restaurada de un
obispo donde teníamos servicios tales como la Misa Crismal y
Ordenaciones. Sin embargo, durante estos últimos 3 años como
rector y párroco de la Catedral, he tenido la oportunidad de
reflexionar más profundamente en la belleza de nuestra iglesia y
aún más importante, en las personas diversas que conforman la
parroquia de la Catedral del Santísima Sacramento.
La Catedral es hogar de una parroquia diversa que funciona igual
que otras parroquias de la diócesis. Como otras parroquias, la
Catedral paga una evaluación Diocesana. La parroquia también
paga para el mantenimiento de la Catedral y sus muchos sistemas
sofisticados. Contrariamente a lo que muchos creen, la parroquia
de la Catedral no recibe ningún apoyo financiero de la diócesis.
Los ministerios, servicios y gastos indirectos (liturgia, CCD,
ayuda a los pobres, el personal, mantenimiento, servicios
públicos, etc.) proporcionados por nuestra parroquia requieren
aproximadamente $20,00.00 cada semana. Mientras que nuestra
parroquia tiene varias fuentes de ingresos (bodas, velas,
colecciones de las Misas entre semana, honorarios de CCD, etc.),
la mayor fuente de ingresos es la colecta de fin de semana.
A través de la primera mitad del año fiscal 2014-2015, los gastos
de la parroquia excedieron los ingresos ordinarios por casi
$18,000.00. Debido a los gastos de funcionamiento de la
parroquia, el Consejo de Finanzas de nuestra parroquia fijó el
objetivo de la colecta de fin de semana de $12.000,00. La colecta
de la semana pasada ascendió a $8594.00.
Como párroco de la parroquia de la Catedral, agradezco
enormemente su generosidad como trabajamos juntos para llevar
a cabo la misión de nuestra parroquia. Con el fin de mantenerlo
informado, el boletín semanal incluirá información acerca de las
finanzas de nuestra parroquia. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta, por
favor no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo en la oficina
parroquial.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Michael O’Reilly

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Abide in Jesus for Joy
A CTS 9:26-31
• 1 J N 3:18-24 • JN 15:1-8
M
any people travel to the Trappist monastery in
Gethsemani, Kentucky, to make retreats. It was the
Abbey of Gethsemani that the monk and priest
Thomas Merton called home. When making a retreat there you
may listen to recordings of lectures given to Merton to the
abbey novices. One such lecture involves the idea of
"abiding."
"It's like your are trying to catch a plane. You are late. You hop in
your car and speed to the airport. Every delay gives you ulcers. You
reach the parking lot, grab your stuff and race down the corridor to
get to the right gate. You rush onto the plane, flop down in your
seat, and have a sigh of relief. You made it. In one sense you have
made your destination. Then the plane takes off, and you are on
your way to other places, going higher
and faster than ever before, but now
you are not frantic or worried. That's
what it means to be in Christ."
Three or four decades ago many in the
medical field believed that keeping
newborns in a sterile and pristine
environment would be good for them
preventing them from becoming sick
once exposed to the viruses and
bacteria of the "outside" world.
One hospital a nursery in which all
the newborns were kept in
environmentally secure cribs. No one
except the mothers would be able to
hold the babies. Unlike today
wherein the baby practically stays in
the mother's room around the clock,
then babies spent most of their time
in the hospital nursery. To the surprise
and fright of the "experts," the babies did not thrive, and some
began to die. Investigation and studies discovered something long
forgotten by science: human beings require touch in order to thrive.
Not being held, being separated from human physical contact, the
babies failed to thrive and began to die.
This is just as true spiritually. If we are separated from God, we
simply will not thrive. To thrive, we must have contact with
God.
Jesus reveled in His relationship with His Father. It is so clear
that this relationship gave Him joy. Jesus was a man who never
met a stranger, and made just about everyone around Him feel
comfortable and at peace. Sometimes His message was
unsettling, and He had hard things to say, and this did drive
some people away. How ever, the demeanor of the man kept
most people faithful to Him despite the hard truths He was
called to speak.
Alexander the Great conquered the Middle East, and the generals
who took over the lands after Alexander's death discovered that the
best way to unite diverse peoples was to utilize one language (in
this case, Greek) and to spread the same customs and lifestyle. This
was "Hellenization." The Jews living in Judah, however, resisted
Hellenization to the point of rebellion. Jews living elsewhere were
profoundly affected by this process. By the time Paul lived, most
Jews living outside Judah spoke only Greek.
Paul was a Hellenist, and though profoundly Jewish, he was
heavily influenced by Greek philosophy and thought. Paul was
part of a struggle between the Jews of Judah and the
"Hellenists" (those Jews speaking only
Greek) for the heart and soul of
Judaism. Christians, still seen as
Jewish, were caught in the struggle, and
it led to the martyrdom of Stephen, but
in the end it was Paul who was
converted, and the way he lived his
life proved it.
Paul became an example of what
happens when we "abide in Christ."
We become like Christ, filled with
love for God and filled with a zeal to
share what we have discovered.
Viewed as a fellow traitor by fellow
Hellenists, his life was literally in
peril, but Paul's enthusiasm could
not be squelched.
Paul's life was not easy nor is ours. Our
faithfulness to God is challenged
everyday. We are tempted to tell little
lies, we are tempted to cheat on taxes and spouses. Despite the
Resurrection, we still sin. For some this is so discouraging that
they give up. Our message today is to never give up. We are to
"abide in Christ." This means that despite our sinfulness, despite
troubles, despite challenges, despite frustrations, we must
choose to stay with Christ anyway. If we cut ourselves off, like
trimming a branch from a vine, we will die. We can live only if
we are in contact with the Vine.
Jesus is telling us that once we are in Him, we are practically
at our spiritual destination. There is still a journey to take, and
will have hard moments, but Jesus encourages us to remain on
the journey—abide with Him. If we do, we, too, can live a life
filled with joy.
