Welcome to St. Nicholas Catholic Church!
Two priests?!?! When you heard that Immaculate Conception and St. Nicholas would soon have two priests, perhaps your reaction was one of being excited, questioning, and neutral all at the same time. That’s how I feel too! In one sense, since we have already had two priests at the two parishes, and we will still have two priests at the two parishes, some things won’t be changing at all. In another sense, it is exciting to think that since the two priests will now be assigned together, we can both always be present at special parish events and needs. And yet in another sense, there are still a lot of questions of how we will divide up our duties and spend our time. The coming weeks and months will require us learning how to balance our time at the two parishes. There is a lot we have not fully “figured out” yet, but here are some things we are planning on: 1. Mass times will remain the same at both parishes. 2. Sacramental and pastoral ministry will be divided up between the two priests
somewhat randomly. Thus, weekend Masses, funerals, weddings, baptisms, anointings, etc. will be divided up between the two priests. So, it may be a surprise which priest shows up!
3. Both priests will continue taking Mondays off. 4. Fr. VanDenBroeke will primarily continue living at the Immaculate
Conception rectory, and Fr. Powers will be primarily living at the St. Nicholas rectory. However, both priests will have a room at the other rectory as well, both for convenience (such as when we have a long day at one parish and don’t want to drive back), but also so that we can be intentional about investing in both parishes by spending some nights in both cities.
5. That being said, it is likely that Fr. VanDenBroeke will continue doing the majority of weekday Masses at IC, and Fr. Powers will do the majority of weekday Masses at SN, simply for the sake of convenience in the mornings.
6. Both priests will have an office at both parish office buildings and likely split the week working out of the offices of both parishes.
Although we have some other details to smooth out, I am excited about the possibilities ahead! You are in my daily prayers. God bless you, Fr. VanDenBroeke

GOSPEL MEDITATION ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE We are all familiar with the refrain, “You have put on Christ. In him you have been baptized. Alleluia, alleluia!” In Baptism, we “put on” Christ. In putting on Christ, we put on all that Christ is and represents: hope, faith, and love. We are no longer bound to the sins and failures of the flesh, that part of us that resists God and relies exclusively on human means. It also means that we are not in debt to our past, complete with its sins, failures, regrets, fears, and unfulfilled dreams. There is always hope. In putting on Christ, we put on God’s vision for the world, for all of His children and for us. We have been given a road map to guide our paths and a blueprint to follow for our life’s journey. There is no need for regret, and we are not tethered to our past. Is there anything in your past that you regret? Any decision or memory that continues to haunt you? We have all made mistakes, and we have this uncanny ability to continue beating ourselves up over things we can no longer do anything about, except learn from them. To put on Christ means that I can now bring God’s unconditional love to my hurtful memories and sinful choices. With each new moment and every new choice, I can start clean and live in freedom. Imagine adults when the disciples were preaching and baptizing. They came to baptism not really knowing who they were, with pasts that were broken, seeking to live the joy of the Gospel they heard spoken to them and wanting the love they saw witnessed in the lives of those who believed. What tremendous celebrations their baptisms must have been! They could now have the support of a community, full participation in the sacraments of the church, focus for their disordered lives, consolation, healing, and an understanding of what life is really all about. Our lives are meant to be celebrations of the Spirit we have received in Baptism. How does that joy get expressed in and through you? When we truly understand that we have put on Christ, our burdens can become much lighter. It is odd that so many Christians look like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if those weights could be lifted and joy experienced!
WHY DO WE DO THAT?
CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Kissing the Altar at Mass Question: Why do priests kiss the altar at the start of Mass? Answer: Our churches and chapels are filled with symbols. We might think of the more common symbols (like the crucifix, statues, stained-glass windows, vestment color and altar cloths) as well as major symbols (such as the paschal candle and the baptismal font). But there are some things that we can take for granted in our sacred spaces, because unfortunately, they seem to just be part of the building, including three of the main symbols of our liturgy: the ambo (lectern), the chair for the priest celebrant, and the altar. These three objects are placed in a specially designated area called the sanctuary. They are the places where the Word of God is proclaimed, where the priest prays and presides at the celebration, and where the bread and wine are offered by the priest during the Eucharistic Prayer. Although each of these objects is sacred because of the role they play in our worship, the altar holds a special place. In a document containing the rules and instructions for the Mass — the “General Instruction of the Roman Missal” — we read: “The altar on which the Sacrifice of the Cross is made present under sacramental signs is also the table of the Lord to which the People of God is called together to participate in the Mass, as well as the center of the thanksgiving that is accomplished throughout the Eucharist” (no. 296). One of the ways that we recognize the importance of the altar is when the priest and deacon kiss the altar at the beginning of Mass. Kissing is an ancient act of devotion. Remember, we also kiss the cross on Good Friday, and the deacon or priest kisses the “Book of the Gospels” after the Gospel is proclaimed. This act of devotion reminds us that the altar is a symbol of Jesus, the “living stone” (see 1 Peter 2:4), the foundation stone of our faith. It is a symbol gesture, but it is a powerful reminder of the One on whom our faith is built and in whose name we gather as the “household of faith” (see Galatians 6:10). To learn more, see the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” (no. 1382-1383).

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP
Faith Like a Child If you Google Search recommendations on how to raise generous children, almost every list of ideas begins with — or at least contains — the directive for adults to be good models of generosity themselves. Our children learn from our actions much more than from our words. Of course, when I think back over the years while my children were growing up, I think I may have learned as much from them as they learned from me. There is a time between early childhood and middle school where a child seems to be freer to give and share than at any other time in life. It is around the age of First Communion when the cries of “mine” turn to laughter and smiles, and the urge to be a part of something bigger than oneself leads to sharing. Before you know it, the child hits the pre-teen years, and once again, he or she becomes the center of the universe. I believe that the previous paragraph is all true, however, the stages described seem to repeat themselves throughout adulthood. Don’t you agree? Sometimes we fall into seeing ourselves as the center of the universe, or we become consumed by our state in life or with what we have acquired. Also, we at times are generous and loving people. It is sin that draws us back into ourselves and away from any meaningful life of stewardship and generosity. In order to be freed for love, we need role models to help us see what really matters. We need to reflect on the example of many of our brothers and sisters in Christ. And, yes, we need to look to children who may be at the point in their lives where sharing is fun, and love is something in abundance.

LIVE THE LITURGY INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK The flesh is our old self of yesterday and the one we left behind in baptism. It is the self of doubts and fears, sin and error, reluctance, untamed passion, and errors in judgment. It is also the self of missed opportunities and roads untraveled. Although we were baptized many years ago, every day is another day to live, not according to the flesh of yesterday with its regrets and misgivings, but rather to live the life of the spirit of today and tomorrow. The burdens of our personal baggage and of life itself can weigh us down. The love of Jesus Christ and the life of the spirit can pick us up, refresh us, and provide us with the hope for new opportunities and discoveries. Because we have been baptized in Christ, we need not be anxious about what we did or did not do yesterday or anxious about what will come tomorrow. We need only to seek out the love that is before us, around us, and in us and learn.
We will continue to offer online Mass at 10 a.m. on Sundays and prayer opportunities at 7 p.m. one evening during the week through streaming online. We invite you to join us to pray virtually.

The devotion to the Eucharist in our parish is a witness and a blessing. Many of our adorers fall into the “at-risk” category in regards to the Corona Virus (COVID-19). For this reason we have decided to suspend Eucharist Adoration at this time. This will remove the mandatory need for having an adorer present around the clock and relieve those that are vulnerable regarding the Corona Virus (COVID-19).
