Mother’s Day

O ur annual celebrationof mothers, individual-ly and collectively, is a

worthy custom. And becausethe roles and tasks of nurturance can take so manyforms, there is no singledescription of motherhood.But each would be qualified bylove, patience and endurance.

Mother’s Day has roots in19th-century West Virginiawhere a woman promoted thecause of safe environments.Clean water and disease sup-pression were key to familyhealth. By the early 20th century, thecommemoration was widespread witha political edge. Women and mothersbore the heavy burden of caring for

war injured. There wasacknowledgment of thisimportant role, but womenwanted more. They wanted theright to vote in hopes theycould help us to avoid wars inthe first place.

I mention these thingsbecause we should not lose theserious history that startedwith health concerns, war bur-dens and the desire to partici-pate as adults in the votingprocess of our republic. Theseissues live still.

On April 15, just a monthago, the New York Times Magazine pub-lished an article about young blackmothers in our country. It raised a star-tling question: “Why are black moth-

ers and babies dying at more thantwice the rate of white mothers andbabies?” The reasons included accessissues to health-care services, but thewider social environment containsmyriad contributing obstacles. Wecan’t imagine how differently a blackwoman may hear the news, “You’regoing to be a mother.” The newsreport should change how all of ushear that news, and then how we willact upon it.

So greeting cards and flowers andbrunches will continue to be expectedand appreciated. But we honor ourmothers best with our prayers, andremembering the profound challengesthat face them individually and collec-tively.

TIPTON — Fifteen priestsof the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana recently gatheredat the Saint Joseph Retreatand Conference Center toattend the diocese’s firstcohort of the “Toolbox forPastoral Management.”

The weeklong programwas funded through a grantfrom the Lilly EndowmentInc under its National Initia-tive to Address EconomicChallenges Facing PastoralLeaders.

The Lafayette diocese’soverall grant project is titled“Building the Kingdom:Strengthening PastoralLeaders.”

“Toolbox” topics included“Theology of Management,”“Developing a Vision,”“Internal Financial Controlsand Risk Management,”“Pastoring in ComplexParishes” (for example,mergers, clusters, multi-siteparishes and highly diverseparishes), “Conflict Manage-ment,” “Change Manage-ment,” “Human Resources,”“Pastoral Councils andFinance Councils,” “Finan-cial Stewardship” and “Reli-gious Fund Raising.”

Five priests from theArchdiocese of Indianapolisalso attended the program.

Participants began theweek with a self-evaluationfocused on their knowledgeand comfort level with pro-gram topics. They then expe-rienced each managementtopic as a cohort so they cancollaborate after the “Tool-box” with their sharedknowledge.

The program ended witha session for participants to

bring their learning togetherand begin identifying con-crete steps to take in theirparishes.

Daily prayer, Mass andEucharistic adoration wereincorporated into the week,to make it as much a retreatas a learning experience.

Father Derek Aaron, asso-ciate pastor of Our Lady ofMt. Carmel Parish inCarmel, said the programwas a gift to him.

“I see this opportunity asan investment from the dio-cese to better equip me toshepherd the parishionersand grow with my brotherpriests,” Father Aaron said.

Other priests said that theinformation made themthink about their ministry ina whole new way, by seeing

what is good, identifyingwhat isn’t working andlearning specific methods tochange and improve.

“What I appreciate is thata common framework isbeing developed for thediocesan priests so we havea consistent way of plan-ning, prioritizing and imple-menting goals,” said FatherDavid Hellmann, pastor ofSt. Lawrence Parish inMuncie. “When prieststransfer (to other parishes) inthe future, they will be onmore familiar ground ratherthan starting from scratch.”

“I believe the ‘Toolbox’provided each priest with anew understanding fromexperts about pastoring inan increasingly complexrole. What a great opportu-

nity for our priests andparishes,” said Father TedDudzinski, vicar general,chancellor and moderator ofthe curia for the Lafayettediocese and pastor ofBlessed Sacrament Parish inWest Lafayette. He served asthe priest host for the week.

“The combination of aretreat-like setting andschedule, prayer throughoutthe entire week, priestly fra-ternity and around 13 differ-ent talks discussing bestpractices, provided greatinsight to the priests in atten-dance,” Father Dudzinskisaid.

Another program beingoffered through the grant issimilar: “Mini Toolbox forPastoral Management forLay Leaders.” Pastors have

the option to send lay eccle-sial staff to attend the com-panion program with manyof the same topics, designedto develop a common under-standing for parish ministry.

“The people of our parish-es will also become morefamiliar with the processesused in parish planning,with a greater consistency,building on the past,” FatherHellmann said. “Both pastorand parish are likely to be onthe same page with themethods used. I am glad tohave shared in the training.”

Sandi Patel is grant projectcoordinator for the Lafayettediocese’s Lilly Endowmentgrant.

LAFAYETTE — SandraSantucci, 33, is the newdirector of the diocesanOffice of Divine Worshipand Liturgical Formation.

“My name supposedlymeans ‘helper of mankind,’”she said. “When I read thejob description, I reallythought that I could helphere. I really just want tohelp everyone do what theydo well, help them do it bet-ter, or help them learn howto do it. Sometimes peopledon’t know what questionsto ask or what otherresources are available tothem. I just want to help peo-ple. I love liturgy and wantto help people get moreexcited about liturgy.”

The Office of Divine Wor-ship and Liturgical Forma-tion serves the bishop inliturgical matters. Santucciwill coordinate diocesanliturgies and provideresources for liturgical cate-chesis and formation of litur-gical ministers.

Santucci has had a life-long love for the liturgy and

its music. She said she spentan exorbitant amount of timeat church while growing upat Our Lady of Guadalupe-St. Patrick Parish in La Junta,Colo. — “a wonderful placewith wonderful people.”

“I was always fascinatedby liturgy and all its parts,”she said. “I got interestedbecause of the music — thatdrew me in, but I lovedevery piece. I would helpdecorate the church atChristmas and I signed myfamily up to be greeters.”

After being in her parishchildren’s choir, Santucci

begged her parents for voicelessons.

“I was already takingpiano lessons and when Iwas 10, my parents let metake voice lessons from myparish choir director,” shesaid. “My mom made lots oftrips up and down the streetto the church, sometimesstaying and sometimesdropping me off.

“After a year of lessons,my voice teacher asked meto sing a Communion medi-tation and asked me to can-tor with the grownups,” shesaid. “By the time I was 12, Iwas cantoring by myself. Itwas cool — I was given a listof songs and would preparewith the accompanist.”

Next, the 12-year-oldstarted planning funeralliturgies.

“People liked my voiceand would ask me to sing,”she said. “I would take mynotebook to people’s homesand help them pick outsongs for funerals.

“That’s where I found mypassion and love of liturgyand I just wanted to learnmore,” Santucci said. “Otherkids were asking for toys

and I was asking for thegreen catechism in 1996.”

She often went to threeMasses because she was inthe choir or had signed up tohelp with something else.

“I remember gettingready for prom, then goingto church and singing,” San-tucci said. “I brought mydress to change in the bath-room so I could leave fromchurch to go to prom. Istayed up all night havingfun, came back early in themorning, changed intochurch clothes and went toMass with my prom hair.”

By the age of 16, she wasmusic director of her parish.

Since she was a highschool freshman, she wantedto attend Marywood Univer-sity in Scranton, Pa.

“I knew I could doublemajor in church music andvocal performance, and thatit had a strong religiousstudies component — thatwas my minor. I planned myhigh school classes wantingto go to Marywood,” Santuc-ci said.

She graduated fromMarywood with degrees invocal performance, church

music and pastoral liturgy. “I started working on a

graduate degree at BelmontUniversity in Nashville, butleft there to take a job asdirector of music and wor-ship at St. AlphonsusLiguori Parish, Zionsville,”Santucci said.

She completed the Eccle-sial Lay Ministry programwhile working at St. Alphon-sus, then enrolled in a grad-uate program at SaintJoseph’s College, Rensselaer,where she received a mas-ter’s degree in 2014. Her the-sis was titled “The DomesticChurch: Building the King-dom of God One Family at aTime.”

She went on to work asthe director of worship at StThomas Aquinas Church inthe Archdiocese of Indi-anapolis, becoming directorof worship and faith forma-tion after completing hermaster’s degree.

Santucci and her husband,Ryan, have four children,ages 15, 12, 10 and 9. In theirfree time, they enjoy hiking,going to parks and seeingmovies.

the cardinal said in a May 4statement. “We ask all peo-ple of faith to join us inpraying for his full recov-ery.”

Bishop Fabre, an African-American bishop, who isalso chairman of the Sub-committee on African-American Affairs for theU.S. bishops, said the workof the Ad Hoc CommitteeAgainst Racism will contin-ue to build on the directionset by Bishop Murrywith a primary focuson continuingregional listeningsessions.

He said BishopMurry “insisted weneed to act, but alsoto listen to thoseaffected by racismand those workingto overcome it.”

In a talk he gave earlierthis year, Bishop Murrydescribed the committee’slistening sessions — takingplace in parishes, schools,seminaries, Catholic Chari-ties organizations, Catholichealth associations and

social service agenciesacross the country — as partof a “national conversationon race.”

“The goal will be to allowpeople to listen to eachother, to exchange ideas, tobecome educated andchange hearts,” he said,emphasizing that these ses-sions would involve listen-ing closely to people whohave experienced prejudicefirsthand: African-Ameri-cans, Latinos, immigrants,Jews and others.

The bishops’ AdHoc CommitteeAgainst Racism wasformed in August2017 not only toaddress racism inthe Catholic Churchand the wider com-munity, but also tobe part of the solu-tion in eliminatingit.

Bishop Fabre toldCatholic News Service May3 that the committee is cur-rently working on complet-ing a pastoral letter onracism that is scheduled forconsideration at the bish-ops’ annual fall assembly in

Baltimore. It is also develop-ing programs for Catholicschools and religious educa-tion programs and meetingwith scholars to deepen itsanalysis of racism and comeup with the “best ways to

move forward.”The 54-year-old bishop

stressed that racism goes farbeyond the Catholic Churchand will take “many voices,many encounters ... to effec-tively address and eradicate

it,” but he alsohas hope that thiscan happen, say-ing he believes inthe goodness ofpeople and inGod’s power.

“Racism is asin with a longlegacy and deeproots,” he said.“It requires thegrace of God toovercome it.”

He will serveas chair of thecommittee for theremainder ofBishop Murry’sterm.

Bishop Murryis undergoingc h e m o t h e r a p ythroughout themonth of May,the Youngstowndiocese an-nounced April30.

Bishop Fabre said he ispraying for Bishop Murry’sfull recovery. “My prayersand hopes are with him,” hesaid.

David Zamudio, theleader of Team #4, told thegathered teens that “smallgroups on retreat are a safeplace to share and get toknow one another.”

He encouraged theretreatants to embrace theopportunity to meet in smallgroups to recognize the HolySpirit within each other andto walk side by side to getcloser to God.

“You can change theworld because you have theHoly Spirit in you,” Zamu-dio said.

“The Call” is a two-dayretreat for boys and girls ingrades 9 through 12 fromanywhere in the diocese. Forsleeping, the boys werebussed to St. Patrick Parishin Kokomo, while the girlsstayed at St. Joan of Arc.

“You get to meet peoplefrom different places in lifeand different places thataren’t here,” said JohnHoulahan, a teen from St.Patrick Parish.

He shared that he enjoysretreats like “The Call”because it gives retreatants“the ability to grow closertogether as a faith communi-ty and to grow closer toGod.”

The weekend includedmeals and snacks, gamesand music, Mass andEucharistic adoration, andtime for the sacrament of rec-onciliation. Mass was cele-brated this year by FatherJohn Nguyen, associate pas-tor of St. Elizabeth Ann

Seton Parish in Carmel, whowas ordained in June 2017.

“God the Father revealshis love for you in confes-sion,” Zamudio said. “Thesign of the cross: He defeat-ed sin there. The sacramentof confession is one of thetools the Lord set so we canget closer to him.”

NET team member MaryWoodward spoke about herlife before going on a confir-mation retreat.

“I had all the things Ithought I was supposed towant,” she said, thenexplained how during anexamination of conscience,“I realized I had broken allTen Commandments.”

She was embarrassed toconfess and afraid she couldnot be forgiven.

Woodward said she rec-

ognized she had to end therelationships in her life thatwere taking her away fromGod.

“I broke up with myboyfriend, I deleted mysocial media ... God wasback in first place in my life.He’s waiting there, not asthis judge who is angry, butas this father who is waitingthere with open arms for youto come back.”

This year’s retreat alsomarked the last event ofBrian Campbell’s career asdirect of youth ministry atSt. Joan of Arc Parish.

“It is a bittersweetmoment, there’s no doubt,”he said. “It’s kind of cool tofinish out what was started.”

“The Call” was started asa smaller retreat that couldbetter serve youth of the

Logansport Deanery, butwas open to the entire dio-cese.

“It actually came aboutafter we attended our first DJ(Destination Jesus) and weweren’t seeing many of ourdeanery parishes there,”Campbell said.

This year’s retreat had 65registrants, a smaller num-ber “because we’re compet-ing against sports, twodances, and academic superbowls,” he said.

But as many in catecheti-cal leadership positions willattest, “it can’t always beabout numbers; it is aboutwhoever God is calling.”

Campbell said he believesthat youth ministry is hardto learn, that it goes beyondjust knowing how to workwith kids. “When you’re

serving the spiritual needs ofthe youth, it takes a lot ofeffort and prayer to make itall happen. But that’s God,that’s not us.”

Campbell was joined byhis wife, Ann, in discussingthe need to take time awayfrom ministry, to retreat him-self as he adjusts to a newjob, “to transition out andallow myself to flow backinto family life again.”

She agreed with him, thatwhile working with youth atSt. Joan of Arc and coordi-nating retreats like “TheCall” have been inspiringand evidence of the power ofprayer, she said that “wehave nine grandchildren, sowe want to focus on thatnow.”

TIPTON — In Acts 8, theangel of the Lord speaks toPhilip, who in turn asks aeunuch if he understandsthe Scripture he is reading.The eunuch replies, “Howcan I, unless someoneinstructs me?”

This passage was the firstreading on April 19, the dayparish catechetical leadersencountered each other andChrist at the Saint JosephRetreat and Conference Cen-ter during their annualspring meeting.

“Jesus himself gave us ajob to go therefore and makedisciples of all nations:That’s our mission, that’sour goal, that’s our big-timewin,” said Paul Sifuentes,associate director of youthand young adult formationin the diocesan Office of Cat-echesis.

Acknowledging that thisis an immense task,Sifuentes said, “Our roles asparish catechetical leadersare often a combination ofthis command of our Godand that this is our job. Wehave been given this respon-sibility by our pastor and byour parish.”

Catechetical leaders fromacross the Lafayette diocesecame together to learn aboutthe roles of the chancery andthe parish, as well as how toidentify “wins” in parishministries.

“Different people on dif-ferent parts of the spiritualjourney have differentwins,” Sifuentes said.

Karen Johnston of St.Mary Parish, Union City,said, “I think you have tolook at each individual per-

son and their changing situa-tions.”

That and the limitedamount of resources cate-chetical leaders have at theirdisposal is why Sifuentessaid wins must be clarified,because “your win shoulddefine how your resourcesare used.”

Oftentimes, those limitedresources include parish vol-unteers.

“When you begin to clari-fy the win, then you’re all onthe same page,” he said.

Kristen Swift is the coor-dinator of religious educa-tion for preschool and ele-mentary school-age childrenat St. Elizabeth Seton Parishin Carmel.

She offered an example ofa win: the day children cele-brate their first Communion.

It is not about all thesplendor that goes with theday, she said, but that “thoseparents and children have a

true love of Jesus when theytake the Eucharist together.”

Sifuentes said the winshould be summed up in asimple phrase and thatdefining the win must be assimple as possible.

“We have an event tonightwhere I’m going to talkabout God the Father,” saidLeighton Drake, director ofchildren and junior highfaith formation at Our Ladyof Mt. Carmel Parish,Carmel.

He stated his simplifiedwin as his students being“aware and awakened to theFather’s love for them.”

Wins also must be cele-brated in order to be estab-lished with a parish team,Sifuentes said.

“As Pope Francis wouldsay, we are a field hospital.We see families that arewounded, families that arehurting; we are asking ourcatechists to treat those

wounds,” hesaid. “Weneed to knowwhen there’s am i r a c u l o u shealing in theother ward ...we want toshare whenwe’re success-ful and havegood news.”

He said, “Ifwe’re alwaysconcentratingon just thewin, we mightmiss the min-istry. We canhave a pitfallof ignoring themessiness.”

“We are notin the num-bers busi-

ness,” agreed Evelyn Burton,associate director of adultand lay formation in theOffice of Catechesis. “I thinkthis does a nice job of gettingus out of that mindset.”

Formerly known as theParish Professional Staff(PPS) Meeting, the newname “is to be understoodvery, very broadly,” saidJonathan F. Sullivan, execu-tive director of the diocese’sDepartment of Pastoral Min-istries.

Changing the name toParish Catechetical LeadersMeeting was just one step ofmany towards refined defin-itions of chancery functions.

“The Leadership Round-table gave us four purposesof a chancery,” Sullivan said,listing how the offices are tobuild the capacity of thebishop, build the capacity ofthe parishes, provide leader-ship within the diocese, andcarry out mandatory admin-

istrative tasks.The Roundtable has

worked extensively withdiocesan offices to clarify therole of the chancery.

“This helped me justbecause of some of the sto-ries I’ve heard from peoplewho have been around a lotlonger than I have,” he said,regarding the historicaldevelopment of the diocesanchancery.

In the recent past, thefocus of a chancery becameabout what the diocese isand does, Sullivan said.“The Church isn’t the mili-tary, the Church isn’t a busi-ness ... there’s no goodmetaphor for the Church,there’s no other organizationon Earth that’s like theChurch.”

The Leadership Round-table explained that diocesanofficials should alwaysknow the mind of the bish-op, he said, because “part ofour role is to help him fulfillthat ministry he’s beenordained to.”

“The focus is on the bish-op, the priests, and thosewho help them, so the focusstarts to shift back to the pas-tors and building the capaci-ty of parishes ... building thecapacity of the bishop andthe parishes is where ourfocus lies,” Sullivan said.

“One of the things that theLeadership Roundtable talksabout again and again is pas-tors are our primary cus-tomers. Pastors have entrust-ed part of their ministry toyou and so you are veryclose second customers forus,” Sullivan concluded.“Pastors expect us to workwith you in order to helpthem.”

When alllegionaries hadreturned to theirplaces, a collec-tive act of consecration toOur Lady was prayed aloudby Father Graf, followed bythe Catena, Benediction ofthe Most Blessed Sacrament,concluding prayers and a

hymn. Following the ceremony,
