From the February 7th Bulletin:

From the Deacon’s Bench                   

One of the great blessings of being Catholic is the written resources we have available in the Church. In this Sunday’s Gospel from Luke, Jesus tells the disciples to “cast into the deep”.  At the end of the Jubilee Year 2000, Pope John Paul II wrote an apostolic letter titled “Novo Millenio Ineunte”, at the beginning of the new millennium.  The Pope says “Duc in Altum!” which is translated “cast into the deep.”

This apostolic letter is a pastoral plan for the Catholic Church. Pope John Paul II states in the beginning “Duc in altum! These words ring out for us today, and invites us to remember the past with gratitude, live the present with enthusiasm, to open up the future with confidence: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever! (B 13.8).”

Pastoral Planning is not something new in the Catholic Church. The planning process our diocese is currently undergoing is needed as we move into the future. Duc in altum! calls each of us to live the mission given to us by Jesus and move into the future with trust in him and where he is leading us through his Church.

As we prepare for out Lenten 2010 journey I would encourage each of us to read and reflect on Novo Millenio Ineunte (available at the Vatican website) and Bishop Paul Swain’s January 2009 Pastoral Letter “To Hold and Teach the Catholic Faith that comes to us from the Apostles” (available at the diocesan website) or if you would like copies, let me know and I can get them to you. The Pastoral Planning meetings in the Sioux Falls area are open for all to attend and the minutes are available on the diocesan website.

At no cost to St. Lambert’s budget, the transformation that took place in the church is awe inspiring. From the new lighting, to the marble altar donated by the Benedictine sisters in Yankton, to the newly painted ceilings and sanctuary walls, to the new dramatic position of the crucifix above the altar, a long time parishioner may have to check the address twice to make sure they were at St. Lambert. Taking nothing away from those who provided the wiring and foundational work that cannot be seen, the artistic talents God has given Marianne Mason to truly bring the sanctuary to that level of character and beauty befitting the sacrifice of the Eucharist is humbling.

Inspired to use their treasures, talents, and time; a handful of anonymous donors, Marty Doherty, The Boyum’s: Chuck, Clay and Mike, Rusty Fiegen and Dennis Millar of Fiegen Construction, Ted Pins of Creative Surfaces, Muth Electric, the Knights of Columbus, Pete Kurth, many other volunteer laborers and most importantly, Marianne Mason have used their talents to give the Church of St. Lambert the more suitable sanctuary.

St. Lambert Mission Statement:  We strive to be a welcoming community, sharing the love of Jesus Christ through prayer, celebrating the Eucharist, educational opportunities, calling forth the unique gifts of each member, and reaching out to meet the needs of our parish and community.
