PASTOR’S COLUMN I had a great retreat at St. Alphonsus Retreat Center in Long Branch, New Jersey. While I thought I was chosen as one of 50 priests (maximum occupancy) lucky enough to attend, I realized that that couldn't be the case as we only had 20 priests in attendance. The retreat house has its own beach and the crashing sounds of the waves made it so easy to sleep. The theme was “the Peace of Christ in turbulent times” and our three retreat directors did an awesome job under the circumstances. The best part of the retreat is socializing with the NY, NJ and Pennsylvania priests, especially at the social half hour before dinner and the impromptu get-togethers later in the evening in the refectory (dining hall). The social half hour was part of the day but not so any get togethers after dinner. It was nice for me to sit (two to a six foot table) with two different senior priests, both of whose first names are Charlie. It was interesting to get their perspectives on the pandemic and how it has affected their parishes and the way each undertakes their priestly ministry. I was also able to talk with a few priests who were my age who were from Brooklyn, a red zone area, where they are restricted to 10 people for Mass - Yikes! In my case this reminded me that I should stop the grumbling and count my blessings. While traveling to Long Branch I went by way of Summit, New Jersey, stopping at the Monastery of the Most Holy Rosary. I was able to visit with my “spiritual sister” Sr. Mary Catherine O.P. and we spent 3 hours talking! It was interesting to hear of her experience of being cooped up in a cloister with 22 sisters...actually it was also interesting to hear what it was like with six priests-brothers in a retreat house on the Atlantic Ocean. While priests and religious are called to live holy lives, there are moments, if not longer times, in which our cup of patience runs low. One of the neat things about the Monastery is that in the public section, there is a copy of the Shroud of Turin (purported to be the burial cloth of Christ), which was purchased for the sisters by a wealthy benefactor. There are limited number of copies of the shroud throughout the world and this I believe is the only one in our country. The copy of the shroud is under six feet in length (Jesus was believed to be 5’5” in height) and the imprint of Jesus’ body is vivid. If you’re ever in Summit, NJ make sure to visit the Monastery as the shroud is on public display just inside on the right by the last row of pews. The CATHOLIC APPEAL is the Archdiocese’s main fundraiser for the many ministries it oversees. For the past twelve years we have raised higher amounts each year - last year we raised $56K. Because we closed the parish the weekend of the launch, we have only raised $24.5K putting us off our assessment of $29.5K, leaving the parish to pay the difference. I am sending out a letter to those who contributed last year but not this year (yet) in the hopes that even a small token gift may increase the number of our donors. I do not expect to fill the gap, but I do want to show our support in the number of donors. You folks have been INCREDIBLY generous with the parish, and whatever you can do is sincerely appreciated.

2020 Catholic Appeal I am pleased to share that even during these difficult times, St. Ann by the Sea has raised nearly $25,000 toward our 2020 Cath-olic Appeal goal of $30,000. Our heartfelt thanks to all who have helped make our campaign a success so far. Whether you are attending Mass in person or watching from home, I invite you to join me in supporting the Catholic Appeal. We recognize that many of you may be navigating your own financial chal-lenges, but ask for your prayerful consideration of a gift to the 2020 Catholic Appeal at whatever level is comfortable for you, as St. Ann by the Sea still has a shortfall of $5,000 this year . Donations can be made at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org. Every gift, regardless of the size is meaningful and can make an impact. Your participation in our Parish Appeal is very much appreciated by our parish and the thousands that are served through the Archdiocesan Central Ministries.

This is our Church and when you support the Appeal, you support us!

CATECHETICAL CORNER CATECHETICAL CORNEROur Question of the Week:

ERk:

“Fruits, gifts of the Spirit are more than just

lists to memorize”

W hy are so many lists bandied about: Nine choirs of angels, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit,

12 fruits of the Holy Spirit and so forth. Are we really so sure of all these things? It seems to me that lists close off further reflection and limit things too much. Can’t we open things up to further reflection? Answer: Lists, like all human expressions, are often sum-maries of a wider reality and are meant to exemplify it ra-ther than exhaustively describe it. For example, St. Paul lists the sins of the flesh in the following way: “Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, li-centiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Gal 5:19-21). But this is not meant to be an exhaustive list. Rather, these are examples of a wider reality. Many things are not men-tioned, such as greed, murder, theft, selfishness and so forth. And this is the nature of a list; it uses examples to describe a wider reality. Some of the other lists you mention have biblical roots. For example, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are drawn from Isaiah 11:2: “The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him (the Messiah); a spirit of wisdom and of understand-ing, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord.” We use these lists out of respect for Scripture and tradition. But here too, one could imagine other gifts of the Holy Spirit such as intuition, holiness, zeal and so forth. Some of these might also be added to the fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5… We certain-ly can conceive of such gifts and fruits along with the sev-en formal gifts and 12 fruits that are listed. As for the nine choirs of angels, St. Thomas draws this list from the many titles used for the angels in the Scriptures. However, his list is not dogma. There very well could be other choirs of angels that have not been revealed to us. What St. Thomas’ description offers us is the vision that the angels have ranks and roles in God’s kingdom and are organized hierarchically. Thus, lists are meant to teach and exemplify the reality to which they point. It is not meant to utterly limit the topic to further amendment or addition. An exception to this is the Trinity. There are three and only three persons in the Trini-ty. Another exception is the two natures of Christ, divine and human. Lists like these are fixed and defined.
