Question of the Week
For the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time (Body and Blood of
Christ) June 10, 2012
"This is my blood of the covenant…” remember the stories
of boys who became blood brothers? What are the most
common concepts you associate with the shedding of blood
throughout history? Are most of your ideas connected to
relationships, promise and commitments? How do you
understand the covenant that Jesus shed his blood? What is
the significance in it being His blood? Do the lives of
martyrs inspire you in a similar manner? Do you believe
these martyrs could also say, “"This is my blood of the
covenant?
A Note From Our Seminarian...
NEENAH
Praise the Lord! I am off to spend a month in Kingston,
Jamaica serving the poorest of the poor. I am really
looking forward to seeing Christ in a new way: "In the
distressing disguise of the poor." - Mother Teresa.
I will be praying and working alongside the Missionaries
of the Poor and the Missionaries of Charity. One of
their primary missions is to build family and community
among the poor, whether they be in orphanages, centers
for HIV/AIDS patients, pregnant women, or mentally
and physically handicapped men and women.
In their sacramental and devotional work, the
missionaries are in desperate need of hosts and votive
candles. The second collection during Mass today will
directly contribute to the purchase of these goods. The
cost for a box of 1000 hosts is $17.50 and the votive
candles are $23.25 per box. Thank you so much for
your generosity!
Matthew Rappl
Seminarian from St. Gabriel Parish
We Need You!! Summer is a very difficult time to
recruit volunteers for the Fox Valley Warming Shelter as
people are on vacation and just out having fun. But our
Shelter clients don’t get vacations and they still need your
help as we’re open 365 days a year. If you could spare 3
hours to help prepare or serve a meal or fill one of our
overnight shifts (8-12, 12-4 and 4-8), that would be
awesome! Many of you have volunteered with your
church and for that we thank you. If so, you could step in
to one of our shifts pretty easily. If not, we would be
happy to train you! Please call Connie at 419-0928 or
email vcfvws@gmail.com to volunteer or to find out more
about our opportunities. Thank you so much for serving
your community!

CFC NEWS
CFC class registration, for the 2012-2013 school year,
continues throughout the summer. The CFC Office will be
staffed intermittently in the summer due to various youth
events and other commitments. The most reliable
communication is by e-mail to the Director, Steve Pable, at
spable@tcces.k12.wi.us or leave a message at 725-0660.
St. Gabriel Christian Formation Center is currently looking
for sponsors to help cover the tuition for families that face
financial hardship this fiscal year. We currently have 20
families including 31 students that are in need of assistance
totaling close to $3800. Tuition for this school year is $120
per student. The parish is fortunate to have endowments to
cover part of this shortage but additional help is needed. If
you feel called to help fund the religious education of St.
Gabriel families in need, please contact Steve Pable at
spable@tcces.k12.wi.us The families' names will be kept
confidential but the parish will forward any thank yous to
the sponsors. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

What if St. Paul had Facebook?
Help us reach young Catholics more effectively…
St. Paul, the greatest missionary the Church has ever
known, had a gift for reaching people right in their
environment. (see 1 Cor. 9:19-23 for examples)
In order to bring the Good News to those of other places
and cultures, it is necessary to know the language of your
audience. This is why it is essential to incorporate a variety of
media and social communications in our outreach to today’s
culture, particularly among young people. (See some of the
recent comments from Pope Benedict on World
Communications Day.)
Can you help us acquire some of the tools we need in
order to make this outreach possible? Our current laptop in
the parish office has a hard time keeping up with even basic
media needs such as playing quality videos from online
sources. We hope to place the old laptop into a dignified
retirement for simple office use, and replace it with one that is
newer and faster for some of these A/V and media functions.
If you can direct any contribution, no matter how small,
toward this effort, we’d be most grateful. Please contact Steve
Pable in the CFC Office at spable@tcces.k12.wi.us or 725-
0660. And see our St. Gabriel youth Facebook page at

The Healing Power of Confession by-
Dr. Scott Hahn
Dr. Scott Hahn presents the historical and
biblical origins of the Sacrament of
Penance (Reconciliation), which is
probably the most misunderstood of the
Seven Sacraments. He provides an important guide for
new Catholics, a source of renewal for “old hands”, and a
challenge to all of us to deepen our relationship with Christ
through regular use of the Sacrament of Penance.
“This is an outstanding talk on Confession that cuts to the heart
of this great Sacrament of Mercy.” Father Joseph - Baltic, CT
“This amazing talk by Scott Hahn has brought our family back to
this healing Sacrament! The healing power of Confession is
healing each of us.” Jim - Washington D.C.
“This helped me to better understand scripturally why confession
is so important, and it gave me a desire to go to confession more
often. I want to pass this information on to others.” Steven -

Yell to the Youth
Most of us know what it’s like to say
farewell to someone, when you really don’t
want to see that person go. You have that
sense of longing, and the emptiness that you
know is coming. If you can’t picture it for yourself, then
imagine a family saying good-bye to a soldier and you’ll
have some idea of the emotion and the attachment involved.
In recent weeks, we heard in the Gospels about Jesus saying
farewell to his disciples, as his earthly mission came to a
conclusion. We heard his promise at the Ascension:
“Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
The special Sunday Masses at this time of year help to
remind us of the many ways in which Jesus keeps his
promise. In Pentecost, for example, we remember how the
Holy Spirit comes upon the disciples, giving new life and
courage to the Church.
Today, we remember how Jesus remains with us, not only
in the invisible presence and power of the Holy Spirit, but
in the very physical presence of His Body and Blood! By
this Most Blessed Sacrament, we can “commune”, or enjoy
an ongoing relationship, with God who loves us. We don’t
have to say “good-bye”, but we instead drink in more
deeply the “Cup of Salvation” and look forward to our
eternal inheritance, won for us by Christ. No wonder so
many saints, the holy women and men throughout history,
have been so moved and so inspired by the incredible gift of
the Eucharist. It is the Real Presence of God dwelling
within that enabled them to be heroes of faith, and true
servants of those around them. That is why even someone
as scholarly as Thomas Aquinas, could marvel at the Body
and Blood of Christ, exclaiming, “O precious and
wonderful banquet that brings us salvation and contains all
sweetness!” Let us join with him and all the angels and
saints in the joy of this Holy Feast, because Jesus is truly
here with us today!
Sign up for Faith Factor service camp on July 17-18-19!
You will join with youth from all over the Fox Valley,
going out in teams to serve at various sites. It is a hands-on
way to be the presence of Christ to those in need.
Registrations are due this week, by June 13 th . Cost is
only $50 for the first youth in a family, and $35 for each
additional sibling (Grades 6-12). Checks can be made
payable to St. Gabriel CFC.
We are in need of chaperones/drivers for Faith Factor
as well, so if you can spare a day or two or three, we
would be truly blessed by your participation!

questions, contact Steve Pable, CFC Director & Youth
