1) Priest on front lines of Ukraine crisis visits St. Clare of Montefalco to tell story |
|
From DETROIT CATHOLIC: GROSSE POINTE PARK — It was two days after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, that Fr. Marek Machala was appointed to his new assignment as director of the Department of Family Pastoral Care for the Archdiocese of Przemysl, Poland.
It’s a role that usually entails organizing programs and faith formation opportunities for families.
But after Feb. 24, 2022, Fr. Machala's focus was on making sure mothers and children who trekked 15 miles through a war zone on foot could find a place to stay for the night.
Przemysl has a population of 60,000 and is the main city in a region of southeastern Poland that shares the longer Polish-Ukrainian border. In a matter of weeks, 60,000 people a day — the size of the town itself — would come by road and rail to the region, seeking to escape Europe’s largest war in a quarter century.
“It is more than 1.2 million people crossing just the Przemysl city alone,” Fr. Machala told Detroit Catholic on Aug. 24, the six-month anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian War, while visiting St. Clare of Montefalco Parish in Grosse Pointe Park. “Cars, buses, people walking to the border crossing, all coming to the city. They were going to other cities in Poland and Europe, but those first nights they were in Przemysl.”
It was those first nights that became Fr. Machala’s primary concern. As vice rector of Przemysl’s seminary, he housed some families there. There were a few retreat centers in the archdiocese that could house more people. Families would have to share single rooms; supplies would be limited, and it would take a while before refugees could move on to more suitable quarters. But it was something.

Before the refugees could be settled, they were processed in former shopping centers — a nearly endless line of people who were missing their homes, their families, their livelihoods, but just looking to escape.

2) Bishop Dale Melczek, former Detroit auxiliary and Gary bishop, dies at 83 |
|
From DETROIT CATHOLIC: GARY, Ind. — Gary, Ind., Bishop-emeritus Dale Melczek, a Detroit native and former Detroit auxiliary bishop, died Aug. 25 at the age of 83, just days after celebrating his 30th anniversary in the northern Indiana diocese.
Current Gary Bishop Robert J. McClory said Bishop Melczek, who led the Gary diocese from 1992 to 2014, had suffered a stroke earlier in the week.
“Bishop Melczek was a true shepherd who loved his flock in the Diocese of Gary,” said Bishop McClory, another Detroit native. “He was a tireless servant and a compassionate pastor. We have been blessed tremendously to have such a hopeful and caring leader.
“Until his last days, Bishop Melczek was still looking forward for new ways to share the love of Jesus in Northwest Indiana,” he added. “We now entrust him to the love of Jesus so that he may be drawn forward into the Lord’s eternal embrace.”
Bishop Melczek's body will be received at Holy Angels Cathedral in Gary at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. Visitation will take place from 1:30-8 p.m., with Evening Prayer at 5 p.m. and Night Prayer at 7:45 p.m. On Monday, Aug. 29, 2022, visitation will resume from 8:30-9:45 a.m. followed by Morning Prayer.
The Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the cathedral, followed by a light luncheon. All liturgies are open to the public and will also be livestreamed on the diocesan YouTube channel.
Detroit Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron said Bishop Melczek, who spent more than 50 years in the Archdiocese of Detroit, was a "beloved friend and brother, father and pastor for us here in his native archdiocese."
"We join with the people of Gary in mourning the loss of one we loved and in commending him to the Lord Jesus in whom he placed all his hope," Archbishop Vigneron said. "I invite all of us to make our own the 'Collect' for a Bishop’s funeral: Grant, we pray, almighty God, that the soul of your departed Bishop Dale, to whom you committed the care of your family, may, with the manifold fruit of his labors, enter into the eternal gladness of his Lord. May he rest in peace."

Dear Friends in Christ,
This year’s Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) theme comes from the First Letter of Peter: “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” (1 Peter 4:10). It’s a call for hospitality and service, and to “let love for one another be intense.”
The Catholic Services Appeal is an opportunity to celebrate the ways our Church in Detroit responds to the material and spiritual needs of individuals and families. Our parish alone could not meet these many needs. It is through the sharing of our gifts and our service that we, together, can be the Church Christ wants us to be.
Would you consider making a gift to this year’s CSA?
Your generosity makes it possible for more than 170 ministries, services, and programs to love intensely and to bring the indescribable joy found in Christ to our communities.
Our CSA goal this year is $211,447. Anything raised above the goal will return to the parish, while any shortfalls must be covered by the parish. Thus, your support is greatly needed and appreciated.
You may have already received a mailing from the Archdiocese of Detroit. If you did so, please make a contribution to the CSA as indicated in that mailing.
You can also easily give by visiting: sja.aodcsa.org or by clicking on the button below.
Also available at the Church exists, in the bins outside the Sr. Carol Center, and at the Parish Center are general CSA brochures and envelopes that can be used to make a contribution to the CSA.
Assuring you of my prayers, I remain,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Msgr. Mike

14) Bishop Barron's Reflection for the Twenty-second Sunday of Ordinary Time |
|
Friends, at the heart of what St. Ignatius of Loyola teaches in the “Spiritual Exercises” is the idea of detachment. If we are to do the will of God, then we have to become detached from the worldly goods to which we are addicted. A basic principle of this detachment is “agere contra,” which is Latin simply for “to act against.” The idea is simple: if you are attached or addicted to some worldly good, then the best thing is to act against it—to press, aggressively even, in the opposite direction. |

15) Grow+Go for the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time |
|
Grow+Go, content is designed to help you understand what it means to be an evangelizing disciple of Christ. Using the Sunday Scriptures as the basis for reflection, Grow+Go offers insight into how we can all more fully GROW as disciples and then GO evangelize, fulfilling Christ's Great Commission to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) The concept behind the weekly series is to make discipleship and evangelization simple, concrete, and relatable.

17) This Week's Edition of TALLer Tales |
|
He’s Lucky: I had a conversation this morning with Dina, our Business Manager, and since it’s fresh in my mind and I thought it would be a good story for a bulletin article, I decided that’s what I’d write about today.
Dina and I were conversing about some excessive and unknown water usage someplace on the property. We’ve been getting notices from the City of Saint Clair Shores notifying us of the excessive and unusual water usage, and it’s been hard to track down or figure out. So Dina had our maintenance team on the prowl to see if they could determine what valve or piece of equipment could be the culprit. The notices from the city isolated it down to the address and then the meter. Well, Vern finally figured it out. Vern suspected the issue was related to the cooling towers in Church. So he did some testing, and sure enough, the cooling tower had a problem and was using much more water than usual. As Dina was describing all of this to me, I had to share from my “bag of tricks” what I had installed at my mom’s condo to help us deal with potential water-related issues there. It’s called Flo by Moen. It’s a device and shut-off valve installed right after the city water meter connection. The device monitors the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the city water coming into the house. If there are any issues with excessive water flow or pressure, the device first sends a notification identifying the problem and then gives you several minutes to respond before it might shut off the water to the whole house. The intent is that if there is a water leak or a device using too much water, it can automatically shut off the valve or wait for human intervention. I had my eye on this unit for some time and finally bit the bullet on a Black Friday shopping experience and had it installed at my mom’s condo as part of her renovation project.
As I was sharing all this with Dina, I pulled up the app on my phone and showed her all the options and reports it can generate. I showed her how the device, after some training, can determine “normal” water usage for a house and then can start to report any unusual activity. When my mom first moved back into the condo, we had to adjust its settings because the device hadn’t learned that my mom would sometimes do laundry in the evening. It was funny (at least for me) to get these water valve shut-off notices when she first started to do laundry, giving me 10 minutes to respond before it took action to shut off the valve. In those 10 minutes, you can tell the device to ignore the usage or tell it to shut off the value. After a few weeks of “learning, we didn’t have any further issues or errant notifications.
I’m not sure how the unit does this, but it also tries to determine how much water is being used by each device or activity. It breaks it down to faucets, dishwasher, washer, toilets, other appliances, showers/baths, etc. Some of you probably think this is way too much information for a device to know about your home life. Still, I find it rather fascinating and am grateful I had parents who always allowed me to use their condo as my “testing ground” for new technology.
As Dina watched me go through all the Flo App screens, she told me her mom would NEVER allow all this technology at her house. Dina said she once told her mom that with all the technology we have going on at my mom’s condo, we know my mom’s every move (okay, maybe not EVERY move). She told me that if her mom knew we could track even her water usage, that would be enough for her to make sure no new technology EVER got installed in her house. Dina’s mom told her: “He’s lucky he’s not my son … all that stuff would never happen.” Oh, you say that, Pauline, but if I could win over Chris and George .. especially my dad … I can win you over too! So, where do you want to start: with an alarm system, smart lights, smart locks, smart TV’s, Amazon Alexa devices, or the Flo by Moen? Don’t worry; I usually start out slow with my family (to give them time to adjust), and then build from there. Before you know it, you’ll be able to control everything from your phone! You’ll love it … until WE both forget what I called something, and you’ll be shouting commands to Alexa, and she’ll have no clue what you’re talking about! Ask my mom!
The Spiritual Consequences of Living a Hurried, Busy Life: Several years ago, I read an excellent article by Frank Powell entitled, “7 Spiritual Consequences of Living a Hurried, Busy Life.” I thought about that article again because of my column last week where I discussed the need to schedule a little break or getaway before all the fall activity starts in earnest.
Frank Powell opens his article by quoting a 1967 report delivered to the United States Senate by time management experts. The experts believed that the speed of technology, and the advent of satellites and robots would present significant problems for the American workplace in years to come. They thought that with all this increase in efficiency, people would suddenly have too much free time on their hands. They concluded that by 1985 people would have to choose between working 22 hours a week, 27 weeks a year, or retiring by age 38. Well, they were completely wrong! Today we are moving faster than ever, yet we’re “going” absolutely nowhere. We’ve become addicted to speed and obsessed with hurriedness. I didn’t realize this, but there is a title for this “sickness,” and it’s called “hurry sickness.” Hurry sickness is a “continuous struggle to accomplish more things and participate in more events in less time, frequently in the face of opposition, real or imagined, from other people.”
If we compare our pace to the pace of Jesus’ life, there aren’t many similarities. If you think about it, Jesus was never rushed at all. He had an incredible mission with a “startup” organization in a hostile world but didn’t cater to the world’s demands. “He wasn’t overwhelmed by life, even though he had an enormous mission to complete in a very short period of time. Jesus never rushed because he moved at God’s pace. You see, hurriedness isn’t from God. It’s the world’s pace. It’s Satan’s pace. Psychiatrist Carl Jung said, ‘Hurry is not OF the devil. Hurry IS the devil.’”
The primary focus of Mr. Powell’s article is offering insights into what he describes as the seven SPIRITUAL consequences of living a hurried, busy life. Just imagine what the experts would say are the physical, mental and medical consequences of living such a life!
Over the next couple of weeks, I will share and reflect upon the seven spiritual consequences Mr. Powell identifies as resulting from living a hurried, busy life. You won’t be surprised by his list. But seeing the list in writing and understanding the consequences of such a busy life will make you stop and reflect on what you can do to change. Living a busy, hurried life isn’t worth it at all.

18) Tire Tracks in the d’Arc |

Working, Not Working: There’s no truth to the rumor that Dcn. Tom’s tough homily set off the thunder storm as he stepped down from the ambo during the 6:30pm Mass last Saturday, but the timing was suspicious! Anyone watching at home will have seen that the livestream went dead in the middle of the prayers of the faithful, just after we had prayed, “for all those recovering from storms.” For anyone in church at that moment, that was the last prayer you heard before the flash of lightening apparently hit the school and lit-up the church. I was bragging as we walked across the parking lot after mass that I had never lost power at my house in my two years here. That bragging ended when I walked into my house and tried to switch on the hall light.
We already knew that the network had gone down, there were alarms sounding all through the school and now I knew I had only partial power in my house. The hall and landing were out, half of the basement, my bedroom and dining room. All had lost power. The rest of the house was working. No immediate problem, I thought. I don’t need lights to sleep. And I don’t have to eat the contents of my fridge and freezer tonight, as they’re fine. Saturday evening, there was no internet, so my YouTube TV was not working, but I was home and since I have the YouTube app on my phone, I used the data service instead to login to my TV service on my phone to watch one of those house building shows. I like those shows and there are many, but as I was watching, I realized the irony that I’d chosen the showed called, “Off the Grid.”
Before I went to bed I was trying to figure-out how I was going to wake-up in time. I usually use the alarm on my phone, but I didn’t have enough of a charge left to make it to the morning without it being plugged-in somewhere. I was going to ask a priest friend to call me with a wake-up call, but didn’t want to put that on someone else. The spare room upstairs had power, but it’s not set-up for sleeping in, so I grabbed an extension cord, thinking I could run it to my room, but it wasn’t nearly long enough. Then I remembered that I had an external phone battery that I bought for times I’m out camping etc., and I need a little more juice between charges. (How did this happen to me…? I never even had my first cell phone until 2014). Anyway, I pulled the external battery out of a drawer, but I realized that I probably hadn’t used it in the past year. I was amazed to find that it still held almost a full charge. So that would work—I could plug that into my phone so that it would still charge during the night, theoretically, unless the external battery was giving false hope.
As a back-up, I turned to my old unfaithful standby, that I’ve stopped using… an old $3 travel alarm clock that I found in lost and found at camp at the end of the summer, 25 years ago! I NEVER replaced its single AA battery, but it is still working. Yet, alas, as far as alarm clocks go, it is a highly independent thinker. Sometimes, if I wake up a few minutes before the time it was set to sound and turn in off, it will still insist on doing the job it was assigned to do. Other times it will bleep only for a fraction of a second, not wanting to waste its no-doubt dwindling battery energy, and it hope that will be sufficient to wake me. Sometimes it just rejects the idea of sounding at all and it sleeps right through its own alarm until I wake it up. No wonder I stopped using it as my alarm, and then even stopped using it as a back-up also. But Saturday night, it was called-up to active duty once again to play spotter for my phone, and it courageously came through, ringing in my ears two minutes after my phone alarm woke me. All was well….dark, but well. It was also cold! Thankfully the A/C had not been affected, but the upstairs of my house always gets hot in the summer so I run the ceiling fan and another fan. But with those not able to be used, I turned down the air on Saturday night to 63 degrees, getting it down to about 71 upstairs, but cold when I descended the stairs that morning.
Monsignor and I switched masses Sunday morning so he could troubleshoot any livestream issues at 8am and then I went to the loft for 10am and 12pm. I never realized so much of the mass was up on the screens in church, since I’m always looking in your direction! I have operated the cameras before but adding the slides for the screens was new to me. It’s not too hard, but just means you have to be “on the ball” and anticipating a lot. After Dcn. Dominick’s homily, I went to move the mouse to click on the first slide with the words of the Creed and it was frozen. I couldn’t move the cursor on the monitor at all. I texted Msgr and he sent back “Track Pad” (which does the same job as the mouse) but I had already tried that and that wasn’t working either. I texted Catherine at the piano and she came across and realized that the track pad was unplugged. It should work wirelessly, but not if it is not charged. Plugging that in gave me the cursor back just in time for the prayer for vocations. Phew! Why the mouse didn’t work, I don’t know. Catherine figured out later that the mouse was charged.

After the 12pm mass, our principal, Amy Pattie sent her husband, Roger over to my house. He’s an electrician. He took a look at my breaker panel, which had never tripped on Saturday evening. Everything was working fine there, so as of the time of writing, the problem is still a mystery, but I wasn’t going to rely on my external phone battery and travel alarm again for Monday morning. So after Roger finished checking the issues, I went to the hardware store to buy a 25ft, multiple outlet extension cord. They always come in handy anyway. I rigged that up with a phone cord, a fan and a light, taking power from the spare room. If there is any consolation, I texted Msgr a photo Sunday night, the Sears (Willis) Tower in Chicago, being hit by lightening Saturday morning before it came our way! |

Nature Doing Its Thing: I had been out in my backyard all day one day last week, working on some projects. By 7:30pm I had everything cleared-up and was about to go inside for dinner when I noticed an odd, dead patch of grass that had not been there before. Strange, I thought—how and why had this grass died so quickly? I started pulling at it and realized it was not rooted and there was some white furry stuff mixed in among the grass. I figured part of a squirrel’s nest had fallen from the overhanging tree, but as I pulled at it more, I saw movement. Had baby squirrels fallen with the nest? Then I realized they were in a hollow dug into the ground… these were not squirrels, they were rabbits. And I remembered that there was a rabbit hanging around that area that morning, acting oddly… you can decide what that means, but I distinctly remembered that it was “being weird.” I can only assume those rabbits were just born that day. Their eyes were still closed. It is probably not the safest spot for a nest, in the very middle of the lawn, but I marked it with a stake. I just hope that when those rabbits open their eyes, they learn what a hawk looks like really fast!

"Can I Be Cremated?" | Let's Talk about Death
Can I be cremated? Is it okay to donate my body to science? What about the relics of Saints, they aren’t buried in the ground?
Last week, Fr. Mike began our discussion on death and burial, especially when it comes to the Catholic Church’s teaching on “scattering your ashes.” Today, he answers some of the most common questions from the comments of that video and delves deeper into why we should listen to our Mother, the Church, when she is instructing and guiding us in these matters.

20) Words on the Word: August 28, 2022 - Place of Honor
Notwithstanding the current worker-friendly labor market, it’s still true that most employees can be relieved of their jobs at any time. Some employees, of course, are in much more prominent positions than others, and some toil in the public eye due to the very nature of their jobs.
Consider, for example, many of the people who work for professional sporting organizations. This includes not only the athletes themselves, who are under constant scrutiny, but also top executives at those organizations, whose decisions determine who is on the roster.
When things are going well for those folks, one might imagine that they are recognized and welcomed in public. It wouldn’t be outside the realm of reason to expect that when they go to a restaurant, for example, they probably have access to better tables, on shorter notice, for larger parties, than the rest of us do.
It’s situations such as those in which Jesus advises a humble approach:
“Go and take the lowest place,” he says in today’s gospel passage from St. Luke, “so that when the host comes to you, he may say, ‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’”
A longtime local sports executive lost his job a couple weeks ago, and the media coverage was intense. How this individual may have conducted himself at restaurants over the last several years is unknown and is immaterial, but for the opportunity for reflection it may offer for how we act in our own particular circumstances.
As always, scripture points the way to important lessons:
“My child, conduct your affairs with humility,” we hear in today’s first reading from Sirach, “and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.”
