THE DEDICATION OF LATERAN BASILICA
Dear People of St. Mary’s.....
Our parish will again host the Thanksgiving Community Meal on Thanksgiving Day, serving from 11
AM to 1 PM. Many dinners are taken out to the homebound.
Next weekend our St. Mary’s Committee for Peace, Justice and the Integrity of Creation is sponsoring a
GLOBAL SOLIDARITY FAIR next weekend in the Great Hall. There will be a good number of tables set
up at which you can learn of various ways to help our sisters and brothers around the globe. (e.g. “The Heifer
Project”, “Fair Trade Products”, Mission Trips”) that build relationships. When you come into the Great
Hall you will be given a “Passport” that you can take to each stand around the outside of the Great Hall. As
you learn about what is being displayed, you can have your passport ‘stamped’….Bring your family. It is a
good learning situation. I think this is a GREAT idea!
This Tuesday---Veterans’ Day, at the 5 PM Mass we will have a blessing of Veterans. As with every
Mass, all are welcome.
We had such a positive response from our first “Breaking the Silence” day---a time to talk about planning
for health care and final preparations that we have scheduled a second time so that our Snow Birds can also
have a crack at it as well. That date is June 13, 2015. So put it in your calendar. As we get closer, there will
be an opportunity to sign up so that we can know how many to prepare for.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHAPELS, CHURCHES, CATHEDRALS, AND
BASILICAS?
Your basic church usually takes its cue from the Greek origins of the word assembly and also the phrase
“belonging to the Lord.” If a building is consecrated to assemble the faithful for worship, and if the building
is therefore a “house of God,” then it’s a church.
A cathedral is the particular church in which the bishop presides over worship and over the diocese at
large. Historically, cathedrals were grand works of art that took centuries to build. The cathedrals of Europe
were vibrant centers of urban life and learning.

Fr. Steve’s article continued…
Basilicas were originally official buildings of the Roman
Empire; the Greek word means “king’s hall.” When
Christians acquired these buildings they were appropriated
for Christ the King. These historical structures include four
major basilicas of Rome: St. John Lateran (which we
celebrate today), St. Peter’s, St. Paul’s Outside the Walls,
and St. Mary Major. Minor basilicas continue to be named;
at present more than 1,500 basilicas exist.
Chapels (sometimes called oratories) serve specific
populations. Folks stuck in airports appreciate the terminal
chapel; prisons, hospitals, schools, convents, and religious
houses also have chapels. Each bishop has the right to an
oratory in his residence, and some churches have a smaller
chapel attached for daily use.

St. Please call Randee Hall at 320-763-2192 to make a
screening appointment.
Qualified healthcare professionals will administer the
memory screenings and provide educational materials
about memory concerns, brain health and caregiving. The
face-to-face screening consists of a series of questions and
tasks, and take 5 to 10 minutes to administer. The
Alzheimer’s Foundation of America suggests memory
screenings for anyone concerned about memory loss or
experiencing warning signs of dementia; whose family and
friends have noticed changes in them; who believe they are
WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY
at risk due to a family history of dementia; or who want to
see how their memory is now and for future comparisons.
Screeners emphasize that results are not a diagnosis, and
encourage individuals who score poorly as well as those
who still have concerns to pursue a full medical
examination.
JPIC TABLE TALK
“How can it be that even today there are still
people dying of hunger? Condemned to
illiteracy? Lacking the most basic medical
care? Without a roof over their heads? Christians must
learn to make their act of faith in Christ by discerning His
voice in the cry for help that rises from this work of
poverty”. Pope John Paul II
The Committee for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of
Creation invites you to join us at your parishes:
GLOBAL SOLIDARITY FAIR
November 15th: 4-5 PM
November 16th: after 8 & 10 AM mass
In the Great Hall
Below are three of the twelve mission connections that will
be featured at the fair:
1) Franciscan Missions in Mexico and Ecuador: The
Franciscan Sisters dedicate themselves to rebuilding
the Church addressing the sources of Mother Earth’s
wounds and embracing those who are marginalized
in our world. Training lay people to be religious
leaders who serve the pastoral and spiritual needs of
their communities continues to be their major focus
along with the advancement of women.
2) “Seeds of Wisdom—South Sudan” is a Minnesotabased non-profit that is in the process of building a
Catholic school near Yei, the capital. This Central
African nation gained its independence in 2011 after
a 22 year civil war that killed 2 million people. It is
the newest republic in the world with a population of
about 8 million and a literacy rate of 12-24%. The
first phase of the school for K-8 is expected to open
February 1, 2015.
3) Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation:
Global Solidarity Group. The mission of the JPIC
Committee is to serve as a catalyst to empower our
parish as people of God to fulfill Jesus’ teachings of
love, justice, freedom and peace by communally
responding in an organized way to societal and
individual human needs at both the local and global
level.
John and Barb Nei will have a display of the mission work
they are doing at La Finca del Nino Orphanage in Trujillo,
Honduras. It will be an opportunity for you to see the
mission work being done by one of our own parishioners.

PARISH HEALTH MINISTRY
Lifting Spirits, Touching Lives
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death
in the U.S. It it’s not controlled, diabetes can cause
blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health
problems. One in 12 Americans has diabetes – that’s more
than 25 million people. And another 79 million adults in
the U.S. are a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower
their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes.
These changes include: eating healthy, increasing physical
activity, and losing weight.
You may be at risk for type 2 diabetes if you:
 Are age 45 or older
 Are overweight
 Have a parent, brother or sister with diabetes
 Are African American, Hispanic or Latino
American, American Indian, Asian American, or
Pacific Islander
 Have had diabetes during pregnancy (gestational
diabetes) or have had a baby with a birth weight of
more than 9 pounds
 Have high blood pressure or cholesterol
 Exercise less than 3 times a week
 Have pre-diabetes
What are the signs of diabetes?
Many people with diabetes don’t know they have the
disease. Some signs of diabetes include:
 Being very thirsty or very hungry
 Feeling tired for no reason
 Urinating (going to the bathroom) more than usual
 Losing weight for no reason
 Having cuts or bruises that are slow to heal
 Having trouble seeing (blurry vision)
 Losing feeling or having tingling in your hands or
feet
Not everyone who has diabetes has these signs. If you have
any of these signs or think you may be at risk, talk with
your doctor about getting tested for diabetes.

This week we will talk about grace and how it is a free gift
of God that is given to us to help us throughout our lives
and to bring us into a deeper union with Him. We also will
discuss how graces are given to us through the Sacraments
and how each Sacrament has graces to help us in each stage
of our lives, with the Eucharist being the summit.
Grades 9 - 11:
This week the Senior High will be having a night on
Stewardship. This is a great topic to have right before our
upcoming Service Night on November 19th. The students
will be asked to put money and possessions in their proper
context in comparison to people, and especially God. Our
night should help them understand the freeing power of
stewardship.

Stewardship Teaching
During the month of October, every student in the St.
Mary’s School and Religious Education programs
participated in discussions and activities related to the
God First in Living and Giving theme. As a visual
reminder of those activities, the students had an
opportunity to add their own leaf to a tree that was
located in the Education Center entryway. Each leaf
represents what the students learned about stewardship
and how they live out the message that everything we
have comes from God and everything we have has been
entrusted to our care. At the beginning, the tree was
barren and provided little to look at; but, after 611
students had a chance to make it grow, the tree created a
beautiful representation of what they had learned.

GOD’S WORD TODAY
On one of Rome’s seven hills stands the
cathedral church of the Diocese of
Rome, the Basilica of Saint John
Lateran. Since this church is the pope’s
diocesan cathedral, it is significant in
the history of Catholicism. Attached to the basilica is a
large baptistry, whose inscription reminds us of our
universal call to holiness: “Think not your sins too many or
too great: birth in this stream is birth to holiness.” As we
celebrate the commemoration of the dedication of this great
church, let us be one with all who have been born to new
life in the waters of Holy Baptism.

LITURGICAL & MUSICAL NOTES
FAITH-QUAKE: When grief collides with faith –
continued from previous three weeks
Victor Parachin
Pray for loss to deepen, not destroy, your faith
After the unbelievable happened — her husband, Roy, and their 21-month-old
daughter, Sarah, killed by an intoxicated driver — Paula D’Arcy says her faith
became deeper and more authentic. She explains: “In the aftermath of my loss, I
prayed what I think was the first honest prayer of my life, which was, ‘God, if you
are really out there and if you are real, then help me; let me find you; show me who
you are.’ That’s when there was a major shift from a God out there to a God
within” (When People Grieve: The Power of Love in the Midst of Pain [Crossroad,
2005], 45). From that prayer on, D’Arcy began to put the focus on growing
through the pain. “I looked at what strengthened me and what weakened. I realized
every choice has a ripple. If I wanted to get to a deeper place within, I had to
support that with the decisions I made.”
Adopt a proper spiritual perspective
Look at your loss and everything that comes with it — sorrow, sadness, anger,
frustration, despair — as an experience that, rather than testing your faith, is
tempering it. The word “temper” comes from the manufacturing world: steel or
glass is heated at high temperatures in order to make it hard and strong. Spiritual
powers remain dormant in a personality until they are tempered by life’s fires.
Adopt the spiritual perspective that the turmoil you currently experience can
transform your life and faith into something stronger and more vibrant than ever.
This may be what Rev. Phillips Brooks, noted 19th-century Episcopal bishop of
Boston, had in mind when he preached: “Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be
stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to
your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the
miracle.”
Whenever you find your grip on faith weakening, remind yourself of this wisdom
from Rev. Peter Gomes: “God is to be found where God is most needed — in
trouble, sorrow, sickness, adversity and even death itself” (“When Bad Things
Happen,” 20). ML
