Pastoral Plan Update: Confession

One of the most beautiful aspects of the Catholic Church is the sacrament of Reconciliation. Instituted by Jesus Christ, Reconciliation allows us to obtain forgiveness for our sins and reconcile with God. All three Pastoral Plan committees (Faith Sharing, Liturgy Experience and Parishioner Engagement) have been called to increase attendance at confession and, in doing so, help parishioners receive peace through the priest’s audible assurance of forgiveness.

Catholics are encouraged to go to confession all year but especially during Lent, the season of […]

Pastoral Plan Update: Faith Sharing

“…Make their words the echo of Christ’s voice so that those who hear them may be drawn to obey the Gospel”

January was a fruitful month for the Faith Sharing committee, whose goal is to grow missionary discipleship at SKS and help parishioners deepen their relationship with Christ. The committee has focused on growing the Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) program, a series of five small group faith studies. On January 8, Monsignor Brouwers commissioned four parishioners from the altar following their completion of […]

SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year A)

Sirach 15:15 – 20

We don’t often hear from the Book of Sirach. It is always the first reading on the Feast of the Holy Family but, other than that, we only hear from this book two or three times over the course of the year. It is one of the very last books of the Old Testament. If you look in your Bible’s Table of Contents, you will find it listed under The Wisdom Books. It is, in fact, an excellent example of Wisdom literature, filled with moral teachings. It […]

2022 Pastoral Plan Update

Have you noticed some changes around St. Katharine’s? They’re the result of work by the three Pastoral Plan committees to make our parish an even stronger community of faith.

Liturgy Experience

Thank this committee for the new music you’ve been hearing! At their urging, the music ministry has enlivened Mass with contemporary versions of Psalms and the songs that are sung every week (Holy, Holy, the Memorial Acclamation, Amen and Lamb of God).

Parishioner Engagement

Please welcome our newest ministry, Faithful Families. You’ll spot its members […]

Pastoral Plan Update: Liturgy Experience

Did you notice the new music at Mass last weekend? The Liturgy Experience committee, part of the Pastoral Plan, challenged the SKS Music Ministry to make changes to enliven the music at Mass. The result: an introduction of beautiful, more contemporary versions of the songs that are sung at every Mass-the Holy, Holy, Memorial Acclamation, Amen and Lamb of God. This new setting is by renowned contemporary composer Sarah Hart and is […]

SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Year A

Isaiah 49:3, 5 – 6

As we return to Ordinary Time, this Sunday we will hear the second of the four “Servant-of-the-Lord” oracles (over the years, we have heard the First Song – 42:1-4; Second – 49:1-7; Third – 50:4-12; Fourth – 52:13-53:12). Since it is found in chapter 49 of the Book of Isaiah, we know that it is from Deutero-Isaiah which dates to the time of the Babylonian Captivity. As I have explained in the past, these servant songs never name the servant and, as we will see in […]

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT (Year A)

Isaiah 11:1 – 10

This Sunday, we will hear, once again, from the Book of the prophet Isaiah; last week, it was from chapter 2, this week, it will be from chapter 11. The passage we will hear on Sunday is, perhaps, one of the best known prophecies of the coming of Jesus. Since it is in the early part of the Book of Isaiah, we know that it is part of the prophecy of Isaiah himself, who prophesied 742 – 685BC. Chapters 1 – 12 probably address the time of […]

THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year C)

Malachi 3:19 – 20a

As we come to the end of the liturgical year – next Sunday is already the last Sunday of the Year when we celebrate the feast of Christ the King – we are given an opportunity to reflect on the end of time. All three readings speak of the end of the world and the final judgment. This is a good time for us to reflect on how prepared we are for the coming of the Lord.

This Sunday, we will first hear from the Book of the […]
