A Message from Fr. Tom Donovan:
Amen I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day and hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Mark 13: 30-32) Why is it that there has always been such keen interest in the ‘end-times’… the apocalypse… the ‘end of the world’? Television preachers make a living off of it. The (largely anti-Catholic) Left Behind series features 16 books having sold a total of 80 million copies. A few years ago, we heard about the Mayan “prophecy” for destruction of the world on Decem-
ber 21, 2012… remember that? Others are trying to read the signs of the times to position themselves for a financial and social meltdown due to the ‘fiscal cliff’ that stands before us. I think part of the interest is the simple desire to control our world and destinies, but there’s more to it than that. We want to know how it all ends. Will justice be served to the deserving? Will we end up on the “right side” of things when all is said and done? Will the suffering and sacrifice and tribulation turn out to be ‘worth it’ in the end? A central message from scripture is that in God’s day, the old order would pass away and that a new one will be ‘unveiled’ (from where we get the words “Apocalypse” and “Revelation”). The Jewish people looked to the Temple in Jerusalem as their time-tested beacon of identity and hope. Even through war, famine, and exile, the Temple stood as the en-during promise that God was with them, and that the cult of sacrifice and prayer would be vindicated in God’s day. But even the Temple would give way to something new in the providence of God: it was totally destroyed in 70 AD by the Roman armies, and to this day lies in desola-tion as the Muslim “dome of the rock” shrine stands at the top of the Temple Mount. The new Temple, the Risen Body of Christ stands to unify God’s peo-ple in right worship. Jesus said that he would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days—meaning the temple of his body (cf John 2: 19-21). John preached a baptism in the wilderness, rather than reliance on the ritual washings of the temple. John pointed out the true lamb of sacrifice, the “Lamb of God,” is none other than Jesus himself (cf John 1: 24-31). In these proclamations, there is something new here... something subversive going on. It is the revelation of Christ as Lord. The scandal of the cross, the hope given by the resurrection, the procla-mation of Christ as King points to a mystery that the world is still trying to come to grips with. God’s salvation, strictly speaking, is not to be found in familiar places or teachings, or in mere human ritual, but through the very person of Jesus, revealed as the Messiah and Son of God. The world and all we know of it will pass away—perhaps very dramatically—but alert, ‘awake’ faith in Jesus as Lord will be the sign of the new order that will replace it. At Mass we participate in nothing less than the new and everlasting covenant which is sealed in the Blood of Christ. In doing so, we reveal his presence and the eminent truth of his final coming by our lives as faithful follow-ers of the Lamb.

A Message from Mrs. Carol Frericks—Principal
Veterans Day Program — A Tribute to Our Heroes
Veterans Day, which is observed annually on November 11th, is a tribute to military veterans who have served in
the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s a holiday honoring men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces, on the
anniversary of the end of World War I. The United States Senate designated the week of November 11th as Nation-
al Veterans Awareness Week. This resolution called for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary
school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans. At St. Dominic School, we held a Veterans
Day Program to extend our most sincere thanks to all members of the United States Armed Forces for their bravery,
sacrifice, dedication, and service to our country. To us, our Veterans are our heroes — brave men and women who
bear the scars of battle because they were willing to pay any price to protect our country. As we celebrate Veterans
Day, our hearts and minds continue to be grateful for the freedoms you have secured for us. May God bless our
Veterans and America!

Please read the September 2021 issue of our Parish Newslet-

Tithe” (PCT), where the diocese pulls its ‘share’ for diocesan
ministries each month from the parishes, rather than doing an
annual appeal. Thank you for your stewardship support of St.
