If Today
I sometimes find being a disciple of the Lord difficult. My struggle is not about loving the Lord
or being committed to him, my difficulty often revolves around following the path the Lord sets
out for me. I am not by nature a follower, and being a disciple of
the Lord requires the surrender of my own will, ideas and plans
to the will of God, to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and the
Lord’s plan of salvation. As a disciple it is my mission to
proclaim the Lord’s plan for our lives. It is my ministry to bring
Jesus into every moment of my life so that others might come to
know his mercy and love. It requires giving my own skills,
talents, ideas and plans to the Lord so that they can be shaped into a proclamation of God’s
mercy poured out on us in Jesus. It is this abandonment of our very being to the Lord that I
sometimes resist. When I left for vacation three weeks ago I, as always, planned to do bulletin
covers, announcements and Mass plans during my time away. I was also beginning to outline
what the rest of my year might look like in my ministry to and with you. I then received a phone
call from Ms. Millerbernd, the principal at St. Pius X and part of the leadership team at Holy
Trinity School, that she was experiencing some serious health issues that would necessitate her
absence for an extended period of time. In the course of 20 minutes all of my plans for the year
were changed and my resistance to the Lord’s call rose up. What would we do? How would we
face the challenges her absence presented? What was God up to?
I returned to work last Friday and met with the administrators of our two parishes, Fr. Paul and
Mr. Wes Kapping, another member of the Holy Trinity School leadership team, and began to
make plans. After some discussion and planning we decided that the best way forward would be
for me to take over the duties of being principal at St. Pius X and that Mr. Kapping and I would
assume the duties of administering Holy Trinity School. Along with an excellent and dedicated
staff and volunteers the ministry of our schools should continue to move forward. We will also
be assisted by Ms. Karla Cross, the director of schools for the Diocese of New Ulm. This
arrangement seems best to us, and while it will require some extra effort on the part of all those
involved, we believe and trust that things will run smoothly and well during Ms. Millerbernd’s
absence.
This situation has reminded me of my duty and obligation to listen to the Lord’s call and plan for
my life and ministry. The Responsorial Psalm for this week exhorts us, “If today you hear his
voice, harden not your hearts.” May God open our hearts to his plan and power in our lives as we
continue to follow the Lord with confidence and trust in his help and assistance.

YEAR END CHARITABLE DONATIONS REPORTS: If you
donated to the ministry of our parish over the last calendar year, your
statement is available in the gather area of the church. If you have
any questions please contact Shirley Nowak at the Parish Office.
MINISTRY FAIR NEXT WEEKEND: Have you ever wondered
how the Lord is calling you to serve the church today? Looking for a
way to volunteer, but no idea who to ask or where to get started?
Next weekend, February 7 and 8, our parish will be hosting a
ministry fair where parish organizations and ministries will have the
opportunity to display what they do and answer your questions;
whether you are new to the parish or have been here for years, it is
never too late to answer the call and volunteer. Please join us in the
gathering space after Masses next weekend. We hope to see you all
there!
FIRST RECONCILIATION THIS WEEK: On Monday at
6:30 p.m. our religious education students preparing for First
Communion will celebrate their First Reconciliation. Please hold
them in your prayers as they celebrate the sacramental forgiveness of
God for the first time.
UNHINGED PIZZA FUNDRAISING NIGHT: Make plans to eat
at Unhinged Pizza on Thursday evening and help support the ministry
of the parish. A portion of your dinner cost will be donated to
St. Pius X. Just mention you are from St. Pius X as you order your
meal and our parish will benefit. Take some time off from the kitchen
and support the parish at the same time. We hope to see you there on
Thursday evening.
THE ST. FRANCIS MISSION CLUB will sponsor a drive from
January 31 through February 22 for Birthright Crisis Pregnancy
Center, Hutchinson. New baby and toddler clothing is needed.
Please no food or formula. Please place your donation in the box is
in the gather area.
THE RE CONNECTION: “Pay no attention to that man behind the
curtain!” That’s what we as adults need to keep in mind when we
step into the ‘ol confessional. With our Second Graders making their
First Reconciliation Monday night, it is also a reminder to those of us
of an older vintage to remember that this Sacrament need not be
terrifying, and that the priest is not there to condemn us. Seriously,
pay his humanity little attention, for our Blessed Lord is actually who
is sitting there waiting to receive us back into the full friendship of
His Father with gentle, patient love. And if it has been a while since
we have celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation, there is nothing
to be worried about. Just like we teach our kiddos in RE, the priest is
there to help, completely understands our nervousness, and will walk
us through it. It’s even easier than tappin’ your ‘ol heels together
three times…and just think to yourself for a moment about where
your heart will be after absolution…back in the full loving embrace
of our Blessed Lord…oh, there’s no place like home, is there…and
that’s exactly back where you will be…there’s no place like home!
(And now, if your head you are a scratchin’, I apologize, for better
thoughts I would be hatchin’…if I only had a brain!)
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The St. Pius X Catholic Vacation
Bible School will be June 8-11 from 8:15 - 11:45 a.m. Our theme this
year is "Immaculate Mary: The Story of St. Bernadette and Our Lady

faithful who participate in celebrations for the Year of Consecrated
Life. On a local level, this would include honoring any of the

intentions of the pope, and removal of all attachment to sin.
