When / Cuando: Tuesday October 18th, 2016 Where / Donde: St Luke Catholic Church 417 Harrison St. Woodburn OR 97071 Time / Hora: 7:00pm Admission is a free-will offering / donaciones voluntarias *The play is in English / La obra es en Ingles* Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz, performed by Leonardo Defilippis of St. Luke Productions, holds a powerfully relevant message for our culture at a time when religious freedom and values are under attack. The drama poignantly illustrates the life of Father Maximilian Kolbe, whose courage in the face of attacks against his Catholic faith led to his imprisonment in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was forced into slave labor, tortured and finally came forward to take the place of a married man, who was condemned to death by starvation. Witness Fr. Maximilian as he boldly confronts the Nazi regime and asks, “What if they kill us? That would be free passage to Heaven….In short, we are invincible!” From Father Coleman Father Phil Bloom and I recently made our annual visit to Ashland for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I share with you some reflections written by Fr Bloom a good week at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival. We saw five Shakespeare plays (Timon, Twelfth Night, Winter's Tale, Hamlet & Richard II) plus five others: · Great Expectations based on the novel by Charles Dickens · Vietgone about Vietnamese refugees and how they see the Vietnam War · Yeoman of the Guard - Gilbert & Sullivan musical with a country western setting · The Wiz – musical based on Wizard of Oz · Roe about the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that removed legal protection from unborn children Roe deals with the most controversial issue so I'd like to say a bit more about it. The playwright, Lisa Loomer, attempts to emulate Shakespeare by portraying all her characters with sympathy. Even though she, the director and most of the actors lean “pro-choice” they represent “pro-life” characters in a fair manner – far more fairly than the media who seem incapable of depicting us as people who have hearts and brains. Lisa Loomer writes that she “it would have been simpler to write a play with ‘heroes’ and ‘villains’” but that she was “more interested in messy human beings.” The play focuses on two of them: Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who argued the Roe V. Wade case and Norma McCorvey who was Jane Roe. The latter, abused by men, became involved in drugs, alcohol and lesbianism. Pregnant and not wanting her child, Sarah Weddington gets Norma to sign as the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade. The case proceeds but the decision does not arrive in time to abort her baby. She becomes convinced that Weddington used her and did not care about her as a person. Norma subsequently gets a job at an abortion clinic and begins to realize the reality of abortion: the tiny arms, torso, head and legs that must be assembled after the abortion to make sure none of the fetal tissue remains inside the mom. At that point Philip "Flip" Benham and other Operation Rescue workers reach out to her. In 1995 she experiences forgiveness, makes a profession of faith and receives baptism. Three years later her prayer brings her to the Catholic Church. “After many months of prayer, and many worried nights, I am making the joyous announcement today that I have decided to join the mother church of Christianity -- by which I of course mean the Roman Catholic Church,'' she said. In all of this Norma has a partner named Connie Gonzalez. While Norma's life is an emotional roller coaster, Connie provides a more stable presence. In becoming a Christian Norma renounces homosexual activity but continues a deep friendship with Connie. FREE SEMINAR Mark your calendar! Oct 1st from 9:45am-11:45am.

Around Around the the Parish Parish// Alrededor Alrededor de de la la Parroquia Parroquia We Have A New Deacon! / Tenemos Un Nuevo Diacono! My name is Deacon John Kucera and I was born and raised in Lewiston, Idaho. Before I went to the seminary I graduated with a degree in Biology in 2010 thinking I wanted to be a doctor, but God had other plans for me wanting me to be a doctor of souls instead. In the Fall of 2010 I started at Mount Angel Seminary where I took two years of philosophy before studying theology. After my second year of theology I did an immersion in Morelia, Michoacán for 10 weeks where I learned Spanish and was able to practice it a lot during my pastoral in 2014 in Rupert, ID. I was ordained a transitional Deacon last May, and God willing will be ordained a priest for the Diocese of Boise, ID next June! Mi nombre es Diacono John Kucera, yo nací y crecí en Lewiston, Idaho. Antes de que fuera al seminario me gradué con un título en biología en el 2010 teniendo en mente de ser un doctor, pero Dios tenía otros planes para mí queriendo que fuera un médico de almas. En el otoño del 2010 empecé el seminario en Mount Ángel donde tome dos años de filosofía antes de estudiar teología. Después de mi segundo año estudiando teología hice una inmersión en Morelia, Michoacán por 10 semanas donde aprendí español y tuve la oportunidad de practicarlo mucho durante mi pastoral el 2014 en Rupert, ID. Fui ordenado diacono transitorio en mayo, y con Dios dispuesto me ordenara sacerdote para la Diócesis de Boise, ID el próximo junio. St. Agnes Corner / Santa Inez CRAFTERS WANTED!!! ST.
