This week, musicians born into powerful family musical traditions recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, commentary from some of these living legacies. Legacy is something handed down from the past. The tradition of folk music and culture is rooted in legacy. Musical legacies can exist in the form of songs, melodies, musical instruments, styles of playing, and sometimes even people. A musician born into a powerful family music tradition may find themselves a living connection to that legacy for thousands of fans. On this week's show, we feature some of these living legacies: Amy Helm; A.J. Croce; Carlene Carter; Dale Jett; and Thom Bresh. Amy Helm is an American singer-songwriter and daughter of The Band drummer Levon Helm and singer Libby Titus. She is a past member of the Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble Band and Ollabelle, as well as her own touring band. Born in Woodstock, New York, Amy spent her childhood between Woodstock, Los Angeles, and New York City. She attended Trinity High School where she studied jazz with Dr. Aaron Bell, while singing in bands, and playing in New York City clubs and bars. A lifelong musician and music-lover, Helm's parents guided her training and influences. She later became a founding member of the alt-country collective Ollabelle and served as a backing musician in her father's Midnight Ramble Band. Adrian James "A.J." Croce is an American singer-songwriter. He is the son of singer-songwriters Jim Croce and Ingrid Croce. A.J. Croce has been inextricably linked to a version of his own story by virtue of his name. He's experienced a lifetime of comparisons to a father he lost at age two, whose music bears little resemblance to his own output yet still serves as a reference point despite the years that have passed and the many iconic mentors who have stepped in to offer their counsel, creativity, and endorsement throughout his long career. Carlene Carter is an American country singer and songwriter. She is the daughter of June Carter of the famed Carter Family and her first husband, Carl Smith. She became the step-daughter of Johnny Cash. Between 1978 and the present, Carter has recorded twelve albums, primarily on major labels. In the same timespan, she has released more than twenty singles, including three No. 3-peaking hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Dale Jett is a proud bearer of the Carter Family musical legacy. Son of Jeanette Carter and grandson of A.P. and Sara Carter, Dale performs songs from the Carter Family song book with his group “Hello Stranger.” With his wife Teresa on bass, and Oscar Harris on auto harp, Dale keeps the music of his family tradition alive and relevant. Thom Bresh has led an incredible, multi-faceted life in the entertainment business. To start, his birth father is guitar royalty, Merle Travis. Thom was raised in California during the golden age of television and worked as a stuntman/actor during his youth. He went on to become one of the premier practitioners of his fathers “thumbpicking” style of guitar. Harnessing a quick wit and an equally quick set of ten fingers, there is nothing like a Thom Bresh performance. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers an archival recording of country music legacy and our very own Mark Jones performing in the banjo style of his famous father Grandpa Jones the tune “Mountain Whippoorwill,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In this week's guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater describes therapeutic music and her role as a musician in a pediatric hospital.

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features former Trinity High School and University of Louisville quarterback Will Stein, who now serves as the offensive coordinator at Oregon. Stein shares memories of legendary Trinity coach Dennis Lampley, who died last month. He also recalls the trouble the game Call of Duty 3 got the Cardinals into with former U of L head coach Charlie Strong. It's why Stein is glad EA Sports College Football '25 was released in the summer instead of the season. And he reveals the influences that helped shape his promising career as a play caller after leading the Ducks to the No. 2 offense nationally in scoring, passing and total offense last season.

We're excited to welcome Colin & Caroline to the next episode of Small Venue Music! Colin & Caroline Healy are famed Richmond singer-songwriters who create incredible original songs and acoustic covers. They have played across town and beyond, being added to highly successful curated playlists and even partnering with Netflix on the ‘13 Reasons Why' soundtrack. These musicians have achieved tremendous success and share their story, experiences, and views on the music industry. The interview and performances were filmed at Kindred Spirit Brewing Satellite in Richmond, VA. Colin & Caroline start by performing their hit original single ‘More Than Gravity.' This is an amazing love song that gives insight into their relationship and displays their musical talent. The two sit down with host Don Busick and begin the interview by discussing how they met; attending Trinity High School together and even performing for each other and other students. As friends, they parted ways after high school and independently pursued careers in music for several years. When the two were back in Richmond, they produced music videos and performed at weddings, singing acoustic covers and eventually writing songs together. Colin & Caroline picked up demand as a duo, and gained notoriety on Spotify. The two tell the story of the moment they were asked to be a part of the Netflix show ‘13 Reasons Why' soundtrack, with their song ultimately being featured in the introduction sequence. The two discuss what goes into their cover work; from the type of songs they deconstruct to the strategy behind curated playlist placement. They also talk about music video production as well as their experiences playing in and around Richmond while starting a family. Colin & Caroline go on to play an unreleased original song called ‘Cigarettes,' where they express feelings of “nostalgia” for “summer nights.” Rejoining the discussion, Colin & Caroline outline future plans like crafting an EP from new singles. They will continue to develop video production methods and make use of their new home studio all while raising their child with music as an important part of their family. We're so lucky to have such inspiring guests on the show, and we're sure to see more successful projects from them in the future.

Candid Catholic Convos 2.11.24 - REPEAT EPISODE A weekly program produced by the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa. SHOW DESCRIPTION: Sports are, in so many ways, like a religion. Like religion, sports can convey important lessons about culture and values. But as much as you could compare sports to organized religion, practicing your actual faith on the field, at least on a national level, was strongly discouraged, until a few weeks ago. So it begs the question – are faith and athletics intrinsincly linked? To unpack this, Eric Kindler, the former athletic director for Trinity High School, and Jordan Hill, Trinity's head football coach and former NFL player in his own right, join me to talk about their journeys of faith and how in informs their leadership with the next generation of players.

Will Stein can trace his football journey back to grade school, where he can still recite the name of the play his dad, who coached him as a youth, would relay in. That drive as a youngster led Stein to become the quarterback at Trinity High School, one of the most established and prominent football programs in Kentucky. Undersized for a QB, Stein wasn't highly recruited going into college. Just looking for a shot, Stein walked on at Louisville and made the most of the opportunity…a theme that would follow during every step of his coaching path.

For more than a hundred years (1865 - 1970) Trinity School served Limestone County's African American students in a time when their educational opportunities were less than ideal. How Trinity graduates from small-town Athens, Alabama went on to make major contributions in the world of arts and sciences, education, government, and medicine as well as civil and human rights is the topic of this episode. Richard and Rebekah are joined by special guests Charlotte Fulton, author of Holding the Fort: A History of Trinity School, and David Malone, 1966 Trinity High School graduate.

For more than a hundred years (1865 - 1970) Trinity School served Limestone County's African American students, and its history reflects a microcosm of the African American experience. Founded by Mary Fletcher Wells to educate newly freed slaves and their children, the first classes were held only weeks after the South surrendered. The story of Trinity and the determination to keep it open through fires, hardship, and community discord is the story of dedicated educators who taught much more than academics to generations of families in Limestone County.

Andrea Aud is a cheerful employee of Trinity High School who uses her gifts and talents to serve the young people at the school. She shares her experiences of questioning God and whether or not he was real throughout her time in high school. It was on a retreat, Teens Encounter Christ (aka TEC) that she cried out to Him, begging for a sign. God reveled himself to Andrea on that retreat and helped her see that she was loved unconditionally. Since than, her faith has been bolstered by other encounters with Jesus. While it took sixteen years for Andrea to share her story, she knows that she must tell how God has worked in her life and encourages others to do the same! -----If you have questions, need someone to journey with or would be interested in sharing your story please reach out to me at: findingfaith123@gmail.com.

Mike Creavey travels with Trinity High School students to the March for Life. Interviews with people along the march route.
A rare Las Vegas native, Chris Bishop was raised in the shadows of downtown Las Vegas attending and graduating Trinity High School. Growing up in a family of real estate professionals, his own real estate career soon followed beginning in 2003 by playing a support role at one of the larger brokerages in the valley. This office experience was paramount in creating a solid basis and working knowledge of the real estate industry and, ultimately, Chris took the step two years later to obtain his real estate license. His first year on the sales side of the business, he worked long days and put in the hard work necessary to succeed, and was rewarded by being named Rookie of the Year for the entire firm. Chris continued to build his business as well as a successful real estate team until the call of leadership arrived. In 2013 Chris became the Branch Manager at Coldwell Banker Premier Realty where he was instrumental in bringing his forward-thinking mentality, real estate skillset and contagious positivity to result in the growth and forward trajectory of the offices he led. Throughout his real estate career, Chris has been highly involved with the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors, serving on various committees in addition to the Board of Directors. He was a GLVAR Director for three years before being elected as the GLVAR’s Treasurer in 2014. Chris represents our local real estate community and its interests on a state and national level participating in various committees and currently serves our local Realtors as the President Elect of the GLVAR.
Trinity High School's Pre-Professional Internship program with Barb Dottorewww.ths.orgTwitter: @TrinityHSTrinity High School, in Garfield Heights, Ohio, has a unique approach to getting their students career ready. Trinity has managed to work required internship experiences into their curriculum. Each week, students in their Sophomore, Junior and Senior years spend 1 day a week at work. These internship experiences provide them much needed insight into the careers they have only dreamed of. Barb Dottore runs the Pre-Professional Internship program for Trinity High School. In our interview with Barb, we explored how the program came about and the benefits to both students and host employers. Barb is a delightful woman that has an obvious passion for helping her students identify their career interests. In their Freshman year, Trinity students take an Internship 101 course that prepares them for work in the "real world". They learn the Microsoft office software suite, in addition to professional skills such as public speaking. Trinity places these students with local employers, providing transportation and handling the administrative overhead for the companies. For companies looking for some additional help or to start an internship program, the Trinity program is a great fit. Trinity has been contacted many times by other schools interested in learning how they created their program. On the day of our interview Barb had been wrapping up one of those meetings before we spoke. Trinity is very willing to share their lessons learned. They believe in the value of exposing students to careers early on.Barb has story after story to share about the successes their students have had in building their skills, confidence and understanding of their dream careers, through the pre-professional internship program. Often students learn that their "dream job" isn't such a dream and Barb and her team will help them find other careers to explore. College is an expensive venture these days. Changes in major or school could cause extra years spent on education. As we discuss in the interview, Trinity's program helps students lock in on their interests in a very tangible way, at a younger age. The hope is that they can learn where their interests lie, before they commit to a major or even a college. Barb Dottore runs the pre-professional internship program at Trinity and regularly hosts meet and greets with companies eager to learn more about the program. The next open house for the internship program will be at Trinity High School on January 20th from 7:30am - 8:45am. Contact Barb to register - Dottoreb@ths.org

She Leads Podcast: Leadership Empowerment for Women of Color
Welcome to She Leads Podcast Season 5, Episode 3! This episode of She Leads Podcast features Y. Rená Cooper founder of 4 My Voice Matters. Y. Rená Cooper is a Domestic Violence Trainer/Volunteer, Internet Radio Personality, and Speaker who leads her life like the Boss she is. To hear Y. Rená Cooper’s take on leadership, listen to her interview as she discusses embracing individuality, the importance of credibility, and fostering team productivity. Y. Rená Cooper Bio Yolunda Rená Cooper is affectionately known by her family and friends as Rená. Seeing others live their best lives is one thing that drives her. Seeing victims become free and victorious and witnessing survivors thrive in their ‘after’ is another thing that drives her and gives her life. Rená graduated Trinity High School in River Forest, IL. After graduating she attended Grambling State University in Grambling, LA for a spell. A survivor of domestic violence, Rená made it her life’s mission to make sure her voice was heard. She makes sure she cries loud and spares not for victims of domestic situations. Rená completed 40hr Domestic Violence training and obtained her certificate with the state of Illinois. Aside from being trained for domestic violence, she also volunteers her spare time at Sarah’s Inn, a Domestic Violence Agency in Oak Park, IL. Rená is the founder & CEO of 4 My Voice Matters, a NFP (501c3) organization that raises funds and brings awareness to domestic violence and suicide. She organizes events to raise monies for DV shelters and organizations throughout the country. Rená has spoken at the University of Chicago, the Kimmy G. Foundation’s Beauty for Ashes, the Move Me Soul Youth Dance and mentoring program. She’s the member and speaker for Global Woman Club. She’s spoken at several churches and organizations throughout the Chicagoland area. She also was invited to speak at a woman’s shelter in Dothan, AL. Rená is the 2018 recipient of a G.E.M.S. award. She’s the co-host of the internet radio show called Art of Transparency. She’s also keynote speaker on the 2019 Art of Transparency Tour. Nicole Walker’s Interview Commentary I really enjoyed this interview with Rená and I hope you did as well. I agree with Rená’s advice to treat others better than we have been treated. Choose to be better by taking the high road to decrease the cycle of toxicity present in many marriages, households, families, friendships, churches, work places, communities, and so on. As Rená stated, “Some people mirror the bad person as opposed to changing it”. Negative experiences are impactful and leave a blueprint on our lives, this is something we cannot control. We are impacted by our interactions, even if we don’t like it or choose not to accept it. Thankfully, we have been blessed with the ability, choice, option, and power to stop the madness by being and doing better!! A quote by Stephen Covey reads, Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, and treating people with respect”. I admire Rená’s decision to help others by having the courage to open up about her experiences with domestic violence. Rená turned her pain into her power and how she profits from the purpose of it all. As Rená mentioned, “Our trials and where we feel like we are falling off are our testimony”. Rising above adversity is a great accomplishment!! Yet, choosing to stop at this point is a complete disservice!!! Rená advised us, to speak out because that’s what leaders do! Disregarding the judgement of others provides the opportunity to share our life freely and openly. Seek liberty and change lives by helping others get through what you have gone through. A quote by Mahatma Gandhi reads, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”. I can relate Rená’s experience with having a failed marriage, as I experienced the same. I wore a mask for many years and pretended to be strong, while slowing dying on the inside until I decided to take care of myself first. Knowing something is for the best does not take away the pain associated with letting go. By choosing to focus on and be grateful for the lessons learned from my previous marriage, I have become better as opposed to being bitter. When we replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts and negative words with positive words we shift the atmosphere and begin to see and experience life differently. A quote by Winston Churchill reads, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”. Nicole Walker’s Takeaway of the Week Rená suggested we find someone who has done what we aim to do, then use their example as a guiding light to navigate in the darkness of the unknown. This is a controversial idea for me because my upbringing taught me that being copied by others is annoying and copying others is cheating. Gratefully, I now realize that it is a blessing be a source of inspiration to others, and it is a gift to acquire the strategies needed for success. I will make it my business to find “my someone” to glean from by doing research on those that have been where I want to go, so I can have a vivid picture of what it takes to accomplish my goals. A quote by Shawn Johnson reads, “I always have someone to look up to, and I think it helps me with motivating myself.” Nicole Walker’s Leadership Challenge My leadership challenge for you would be to think about the one thing you can take away from this episode and adopt into your life. I know it’s hard to absorb too much information at one time and it’s even harder to try and implement too many changes at once. When I attend a training or listen to podcasts I aim to walk away with a least one thing that stuck out to me and one way that I can change as a result. I challenge you to do the same! Don’t forget to subscribe to She Leads Podcast for first access to future episodes. And also, like and share this episode of She Leads Podcast entitled “Choose A Better Way with Y. Rená Cooper”. Thanks and until next time “Be Empowered and Empower On”!

This edition of Coaches' Corner was first aired in January 2011. Our Guest is Andrew Coverdale, who will talk about the passing game - specifically the Spacing Concept and its use in the 3 Step Passing Game. Coach Coverdale is currently the offensive coordinator at Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky, where he has been a part of four state championship teams. Coverdale, an accomplished author who has been featured on 11 instructional DVDs, is widely respected for his thorough understanding of offensive football and for his ability to teach players at all competitive levels. This particular show, based on its continued popularity, has been selected as the first that will move from our archives to our new podcast distribution system, where it will be available in iTunes for online listening or downloading to iPods, iPhones and iPads.
Introduction: Today we are fortunate to have with us none other than Aerin Pasik, a graduate of Trinity High School in New York City. Aerin is currently a sophomore at Cornell University in the College of Arts and Sciences, and is a member of Cornell’s women’s club soccer team. During her internship at Leasing REality in the summer of 2018, she was a vital force in the early stages of the development for Leasing REality’s 32-Hour and 48-Hour Certificate Programs, and her initial research helped lay the foundation for Leasing REality’s future online continuing education offerings. When Aerin is not hanging out with her Delta Gamma sorority sisters or honing her craft in the library, she enjoys treating herself to her favorite food … ice cream! Episode Notes: At 1:57, Aerin touches upon situations where a communication breakdown can arise due to technology. At 3:19, Pasik discusses having a work ethic while making an analogy to practicing for sports (i.e., if one doesn’t constantly practice, come game day, they will never see the field). At 5:58, she dives into how she goes about solving problems. At 7:36, Aerin shares how she is going about preparing for success in life and business, and notes that she is still trying to figure out what success means to her. At 10:20, Pasik speaks about her ideal happy place of being outdoors in the mountains of Colorado eating ice cream. At 12:09, Aerin closes out the podcast sharing her mantra of “no guts, no glory.”
Introduction: Today we are fortunate to have with us none other than Jessica Pasik, a graduate of Trinity High School in New York City. Jessica, currently a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, studies philosophy, politics and economics, and is a member of the Wharton Undergraduate Real Estate Club and women’s club lacrosse team. During her internship at Leasing REality in the summer of 2018, she strategized on how Leasing REality should pursue its growth, and also played a starring role in various short video “educational skits.” When Jessica is not mastering her craft in the library, she enjoys the company of her friends and raising awareness for scoliosis through her best friend’s charity, Strut for Scoliosis. Episode Notes: At 2:07, Jessica Pasik notes that there are a ton of opportunities in the world, and why one must experience and try new things, take chances, and fail forward. At 3:16, Jessica touches upon getting involved, being engaged, and learning more about the world around you. At 4:08, Pasik discusses the importance of making a difference for others, and also mentions the Strut for Scoliosis initiative she is involved in. At 5:05, she informs that a work ethic is everything, and one must drive itself to do better and push others. At 6:42, Jessica shares that one needs to lean on others for help in the process of growing. At 7:47, Jessica closes out the podcast with a message on why one needs to see the positives in life, while looking beyond the negatives in life.

Like something out of a dark fairytale, David Fode’s personal work in stained glass entices the viewer with its frighteningly beautiful aesthetic. His alluring autonomous panels painted in the Munich style provide a canvas for Fode’s highly detailed and elaborate renderings, resulting in an irresistible synthesis of the exquisite and the macabre. Since 2004, Fode has been designing and fabricating independent works in glass from his Waukesha, Wisconsin, studio HaeuserHeil as a means of promoting the Munich style for applications in private and smaller public venues. Though Fode’s subjects are not ancient, his medium is, making for an interesting and endlessly appealing dichotomy. His contemporary content helps to legitimize the stained glass craft through its appeal to today’s art viewing and art buying audience. Formally trained in illustration at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois, Fode has worked in stained glass studios for nearly 20 years, replicating the Munich style for new and preservation projects across the United States. As senior artist at Gaytee-Palmer Stained Glass in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last year Fode designed 14 4' by 4' windows for Trinity High School in Bismarck, North Dakota. With natural light on only one side, the remaining windows were artificially lit to mimic natural light. LED panels set on dimmer switches and timers controlled the light replicating daylight as closely as possible. Whether creating autonomous panels, restoring historical glass, or designing new projects at Gaytee-Palmer, Fode’s artistic endeavors serve his goal of keeping the art of stained glass alive.

Sermon delivered on July 24, 2016 by Minister of Faith Development Rev. Emily Gage. "As I hear news that feels to me so overwhelming that it makes it hard to know how to keep going, I wonder about how we keep holding onto hope. And then, I think of Pat Summit, in sheer determination and finding some sort of faith out of despair: 'Right foot, left foot, breathe, repeat.' That’s how we keep going." Guest musician for this service was Isabella Andries, a senior at Trinity High School who is currently an active member of the UTUUC Youth Group. The theme for July is how to take a path of growth.

Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr Mark O'Connell Today's guest(s): Fr John Sassani, Pastor of Our Lady Help of Christians Parish in Newton Today's topics: Priest Profile: Fr John Sassani; the importance of a healthy prayer life, this Sunday's Mass readings Summary of today's show: Fr John discusses his vocation story and past assignments with Scot Fr Mark, as well as the new high school forming next year in Newtown. The group also discusses the readings for this Sunday, the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. 1st segment: Scot welcomed Father Mark to the show, and said it felt like they had been together all day. They discussed that the Cardinal's Cabinet had met today, as is the custom on the first Friday of every month. Scot said they covered many important topics, especially a discussion of how to follow up on the Catholics Come Home campaign and continue to increase Mass attendance. Fr Mark added that with the wide variety of people that make up the cabinet, it adds a great wealth of opinion to the discussions. Scot mentioned that the Cardinal could not be present at the meeting but will get a full report - Cardinal Sean was at the funeral Mass for Msgr Stanlislaus Sypek this morning. Fr Mark pointed out that Msgr Sypek was still a pastor at 96 years of age - showing his legendary dedication. Scot said that people of the Archdiocese may remember Msgr Sypek from his work at St Adalbert parish and as a professor at Emmanuel College and Boston College. 2nd segment: Fr John Sassani joined Fr Mark and Scot on the show. Scot asked Fr John to describe how he heard the calling to the priesthood. Fr John explained that when he was in the 2nd grade, Fr Dick Little came to Swampscott as a new priest, and caught Fr John's attention and had great influence on his life. Fr John also said that the Sisters of St Joseph, who taught at his school, gave him a sense of what was important in their lives and how their vocations affected it. He attended St John's Prep in Danvers, and entered St John Seminary College Division when he was done with high school. He would speak with his dad, who had been a seminarian for several years in New York, and supported him greatly through his seminary years. Scot asked Fr John what things his parents did to create a culture of vocation and openness to a priestly vocation. Fr John said that his parents were people of great faith - even if they didn't say prayers before dinner every night, their faith came into play every day of their lives. Scot asked Fr John to speak about his early priestly assignments, the first of which was at Sacred Heart in Roslindale. Fr John said that while he had requested a parish north of Boston, as a second or third priest and without a school, he was sent south of Boston to Roslindale as the sixth priest and a large, thriving school. He said that being in Roslindale gave him a wide variety of experiences with different people over the three years he was there, until he was asked to do graduate studies in liturgy in Rome. Fr John said that he spent a year there, but it wasn't a good match, so he came home and served at St John's in Winthrop. Fr John continued that St John's was a great place to be and had a solid history and active parishioners. After Winthrop, Fr John was assigned to the Office of Spiritual Development along with Msgr Dennis Sheehan. They also managed St Jean's, a small parish in Newton. Fr John explained that the Office of Spiritual Development was founded by Bishop D'Arcy to help parishes renew themselves in a spiritual way. He worked during the academic year, and spent his summers at Creighton University studying spirituality. It was at this time that he and Maryann McLaughlin created the "Meeting Christ in Prayer" program, which eventually was published by Loyola Press. Scot asked Fr John what was involved with spiritual renewal at the parishes. Fr John said all of it was rooted in prayer - the sessions were about helping people experience personal prayer in a communal setting. Small group and large group sessions would follow in the parishes. Fr John explained that Meeting Christ in Prayer was an opportunity provided by the Cardinal to encourage small-group spiritual renewal leading into the year 2000. Fr John said that the goal of the program was to deepen the faith in the parish, but to instill the desire to continue growth in prayer and faith lives instead of a momentary renewal. Sometimes, Fr John said, we think other people pray better than we do, but are still willing to learn to pray better. Prayer should come to be second nature to us - we are made for God, so having a connection with Him is something everyone can do, not just monks and nuns. Fr Mark said he was struck by the thought that people think other people pray better - he said we need to remember that we are all called to our own personal relationship with God. Fr John agreed that the personal relationship is a major theme in Christian spiritual life. We are invited to work with God's grace to become the person he wants us to be through prayer, moral decisions, and our everyday relationships. Mostly though, Fr John continued, it's through knowing that God desires a relationship for us and knows who He wants us to be. Scot asked Fr John for a few thoughts about how people can pray better. Fr John said people don't take enough time to be relaxed in order to pray - most of us are used to prayers that we learned or memorized. Those are fine, Fr John said, but we need to take a few silent seconds to prepare for them. Scot and Fr John discussed that a good second step is to say what you want to say to God, and then listen for God's response. Sometimes, Fr John said, it may be a deliberate thought that comes into his head that wasn't there a moment before, other times it is being challenged by someone or something in our lives. Fr John also said that we need to develop confidence in our faith lives about our tangible experiences with God. Fr John said the last thing was to stay for a specific period of time every day in prayer, even if you think you're finished - whether it be an hour or just five minutes, having time set aside for God is important. 3rd segment: Scot asked Fr John about his transition from one of the smaller parishes of the Archdiocese (St Theresa's in Sherburn) to one of the larger parishes, Our Lady Help of Christians in Newton where he is the parish. Fr John said it was a big difference, but the neighborhood nature of the parish, active outreach, and great location made the transition great. Fr Mark noted that the parish was also beautifully renovated - Fr John agreed, and said that the open sanctuary and the Baptismal pool make it a very hospitable and welcoming environment. Scot said that Our Lady's has one of the most involved parish communities in the Archdiocese. Fr John said that one of the things the ministries offer is not just service to the larger community, but an opportunity for people to feel connected to the parish community as well. He explained that new parishioners are encouraged to find a ministry that they want to contribute to and become excited by, because it will not only be ministry being done by more people, but people in the parish getting to know one another in a deeper way. Fr John described the Bereavement Ministry that met just last night - a group of 40 people who volunteer to help families of deceased parish members plan funeral liturgies and provide support in prayer. Scot mentioned that the parish roster holds over 20 zip codes at Our Lady's, a real testament to how connected the parishioners feel they are. Some parishes seem to be very good at building a community, Scot noted, and asked Fr John what things Our Lady's does to promote this feeling. Fr John said the core of the parish being a neighborhood parish and the family nature and closeness of fellow parishioners has carried through to a hospitable community. He also said that the location of the Church and Fr Walter's reputation for welcoming people helped as well. Fr Mark noted that some people are shocked by the community - he said that at times it seems some Catholics want to go to Mass but not be talked to! Fr John said that while the welcome is appropriate and heartfelt, it's never coercive. Scot said that last week there was an announcement that Mount Saint Joseph Academy and Trinity High School will be merging, a significant moment for Our Lady's and the Catholic Community in Newton. Fr John said it was a pastoral challenge to help people along with the transition, but ultimately will allow both schools to continue providing a financially stable and academically rigorous education to the communities. Fr John said that when the announcement was made to the students, some of the young people started asking for a retreat with the students from the other school so they could start the process of integration and get to know people. Fr John said that he felt it was a clear sign that the new enterprise, while not pain-free, is full of hope and desire in the new purpose. 4th segment: Scot read the first reading from Isaiah, and Fr. Mark read the Gospel, from Matthew. Readings for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. First Reading: Isaiah 25:6-10a On this mountain the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; he will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face; the reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!" For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. Second Reading: Philipians 4:12-14, 19-20 Brothers and sisters: I know how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in him who strengthens me. Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress. My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen. Gospel Reading: Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, "Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests, he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen." Scot noted that Jesus often described Heaven as a banquet in parables, as in this Gospel reading. We all get an invite to Heaven, but we don't always receive it, and sometimes might even put to death the people sent to invite us. Fr John agreed, saying that Jesus is giving us a glimpse into the goal of Salvation History with this parable - there is the eternal feast in Heaven, but also many feasts on Earth that we are invited to as well. Fr John also noted that the king in the parable invites people a second time - very much like how we are inviting our brothers and sisters to come back to the faith. Fr Mark pointed out that there are people, like the man who wore the wrong garment, that are present at the feast but not totally into it. There are people who think they are going to Heaven, Fr Mark said, because they are walking a certain line, but there are parts of their life that are completely inconsistent. God is constantly inviting us in this life, he continued, to come back to Him. Scot said the end of the Gospel might be misunderstood as fashion advice - it may point to the lesson that we cannot just show up at the Heavenly banquet unprepared and have God accept us anyways. One of the ways we can prepare, Scot concluded, is to take part in the sacraments and receive those graces.
