A Grain of Wheat

August 29, 2010

 

Dear Cathedral Parishioners,

 

Today we welcome Bishop William Callahan to celebrate the 10:30 Mass. This is his first visit to the Cathedral since his installation. Bishop Callahan hopes to celebrate Mass at the Cathedral on a regular basis. Eventually there will be a schedule of these Masses so people will know when he is going to be here. We look forward to getting to know him as he gets to know us.

With the start of school this week, the summer is over. I hope everyone had a good summer with a chance to relax, recreate and renew. Now it’s time to exchange those “Three Rs” for the more traditional ones. Our Aquinas Catholic Schools begin on Monday. All of the school buildings are in great shape and students, teachers and parents alike seem excited about the school year beginning. Parents and grandparents of students at Cathedral School are welcome to the blessing of students and teachers this Friday afternoon, September 3, at 2:15. Please pray for our students, faculty and staff as they begin this new academic year.

The Cathedral Men’s Club will have its first meeting of the season this Wednesday at 7:00 PM. They will be planning activities for the coming year. Gentlemen, please attend!

Threshing is planned for Saturday, September 4, at the home farm. I’m hoping for a day of nice weather. A noon potluck lunch followed by a few hours of work in the afternoon should make a nice day. Although the loads are under cover, the high humidity of recent weeks has not allowed them to dry out very well. The straw is going to be a little tough, but I think it will be fit to bale. All who care to come are welcome.

Pray the rosary this week for Bishop Callahan and the needs of our diocese. Pray for a successful academic year for students and teachers alike. Pray for the unemployed and disabled in our community. Pray for those serving in the armed forces from our community and, as always, pray for peace.

 

May God bless his people with peace.

Father Gorman

Threshing Day 2009

The final report on this year’s grain harvest is that the threshing was held on Saturday, August 29,  2009 on the home farm in Richland County. Despite a misty start to the day we had cool, comfortable weather. We threshed two loads of oats, yielding 95 bushels of oats and a nice wagonload of straw. I’m grateful to Dan McCormick for allowing me to cut some of his oats for this event.
