Dear friends,
Hurricanes and Earthquakes
Last week on my page I acknowledged how incredibly generous the
people of our parish are as we gave, collectively, over $14,000 for
Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. Some people, politely,
questioned why we have not taken a collection for Hurricane Maria
and the earthquakes in Mexico. Sometimes there is just not a good
answer, things happen so quickly and seem to fall through the
cracks. So, we will take a collection on the weekend of October
14th and 15th for Hurricane Maria and the earthquakes in Mexico.
Please pray for all those affected by these natural disasters.
Finance CommitteeIn an attempt to communicate better, and make
parishioners aware of what members of the parish are on certain
committees, I will begin this week with the finance committee. The
members of our finance committee are: Kathleen O’Neill, Nancy
Margro, Pete Cassazza, John McHale, Howie Ammerman, Deacon Lachlan
and myself. John McHale is the chairperson of the committee. Jeanne
Gallagher is our bookkeeper who works for parish services for the
diocese of Rockville Centre. Since Jeanne does the bookkeeping and
prepares all the financial reports, I ask her to conduct our
quarterly meetings. She is extremely helpful and we all appreciate
her.
In addition to the finance committee, Nancy Margro and Pete
Cassazza are our two parish Trustees. The trustees have a
responsibility to the parish to make sure the accounting is
accurate and we are following all legal and diocesan guidelines.
The trustees approve and sign all financial documents which are
then sent to the Bishop. Nancy and Pete have been lifelong members
of Holy Spirit parish and have a great love for the parish.
Next week I will speak about the Pastoral Council and some
things we have been planning as we approach the 125 year
anniversary of our parish.

DEACON LACHLAN
Rhoda Wise was raised in Wheeling, West Virginia, one of eight
children in a staunchly Protestant family. She first encountered
Catholicism at age 16 when she underwent an appendectomy, and a nun
gave her a St. Benedict Medal. She hid the medal from her parents
and kept it all her life.
Rhoda suffered serious health problems. In 1932, at the age of
44, doctors removed a 39-pound tumor from her body. In December
1936 she seriously injured her ankle by stepping into a water
drain. Despite several casts, her foot remained bent inward and she
could not stand on it without pain. Doctors thought the injury was
permanent. In 1938 she began a series of treatments and surgeries
at Mercy Hospital, Canton. Doctors discovered complications from
the surgery on her tumor, and operations to repair these
complications left a raw, sore open wound that refused to heal.
She was visited by a Sister of Charity of St. Augustine who
introduced her to the Rosary and suggested she offer nine days of
prayer to St. Therese of the Child Jesus for her healing. Wise went
on to pray the nine-day novena and drew closer to the Catholic
faith, converting to Catholicism on Jan. 1, 1939. A few months
later, she was discharged from the hospital with the belief her
wound was incurable.
Rhoda claimed to have received a visit from Jesus on May 27,
1939.
Wise said she was healed of her stomach wound that night. After
another vision months later, her leg healed, and she went to church
at the insistence of a vision of St. Therese. She attended Mass on
the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, walking
without crutches. According to Wise, Jesus promised that
many miraculous cures would take place at her home as well as
many conversions. She said Jesus promised that her devotion to the
Sacred Heart and the Little Flower would “win many souls.”
Hundreds of people flocked to Wise’s home when she was alive.
These visitors included a young Canton, Ohio native named Rita
Rizzo. The teen would become Mother Angelica, the founder of EWTN
Global Catholic Network. On Jan. 8, 1943, the 19-year-old girl had
been suffering for months from severe stomach pains related to a
discolored abdominal lump. The picture shown here is a young Rita
Rizzo (Mother Angelica) with Rhoda Wise.
Wise gave Rizzo prayers to the Little Flower to say in a novena
and told her to make some kind of sacrifice and promise to spread
devotion to St. Therese if she were cured. After the novena’s nine
days, Rizzo suffered severe pains, then experienced what she
believed to be a miraculous
healing. Mother Angelica saw the healing as pivotal. “When the
Lord came in and healed me through the Little Flower, I had a whole
different attitude,” she told Raymond Arroyo, her biographer. “I
knew there was a God; I knew that God knew me and loved me and was
interested in me. I didn’t know that before. All I wanted to do
after my healing was give myself to Jesus.”
Rhoda Wise, the mystic visionary and miracle worker who played a
key role in the life of Mother Angelica, is now the focus of a
diocesan inquiry as one of the first steps toward possible
canonization.
May Almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us
into everlasting life. Amen
