Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, St. Paul’s “4th Journey” Initiative I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We continue to give thanks as a parish for this 100th year celebration. Part of our focus is to reach out to others, which is why we started our “4th Journey” to follow the example of St. Paul who reached out to the greater community and preached the Gospel.

In the early part of the 20th century the spread of modernism was gaining even more sway in culture, philosophy, and politics. We still suffer from this heresy even today. As this way of thinking built up steam the thought that we could arrive at a perfect world through our own efforts became fashionable. Leading to the soviet revolution and the claim that God no longer had a place in the world of politics or government; a new government based in atheism would lead the world to peace. The Church in Her wisdom knew this was to lead to bad things.

Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, St. Paul’s “4th Journey” Initiative As part of this year’s evangelization effort we are in need of volunteers to help reach out to fellow parishioners. The goal is to reach ALL of them as best we can, including those that we have not seen in a while. In part this is a practical matter of verifying our records and to know just how many parishioners we have. This is difficult since the church is not “big-brother” keeping tabs on everyone, and not everyone thinks to stay in contact with the parish if things change.
