S A C R E D H E A R T P A 2R I S H & A C A D E M Y U PARISH & ACADEMY AUCTION September 27, 2019 O n the opening day of school, both the day and all the students sparkled During the homily, I told the students that after a quiet summer I could feel the electricity in the air as so many people, students, faculty and families, arrived for the celebration of the Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit to inaugurate the academic year I told them that even my dog, Theophilus, could sense the change in atmosphere, and sure enough, later in the day, he was running through the halls greeting all the new arrivals What occurs on these grounds each day is amazingly unique To begin with Mass each day calms the youthful spirits of a generation so acclimated to the distractions of technology, and to initiate the day with a deep and serious focus on God and the Sacraments is to dispose the children toward God The availability of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament each week and access to confession each month, likewise instills habits of silent reflection, prayer and examination of conscience deep within these young souls, making it much more natural and ordinary for them as they mature to focus on what is important in life, not only what is merely urgent It would be easy to take for granted the culture of Sacred Heart Academy as something ordinary But you and I know it is not ordinary, nor accidental nor easy It is exceptional, indeed rare, and is the result of a great deal of careful planning and coordination It is also the result of a spirit of generous sacrifice It is the sacrifice of the faculty, most all of whom could find higher salaries commensurate with their talents elsewhere And, of course, it is the result of the sacrifice of families who in effect pay twice for the children’s education: first in their taxes and second in their tuition Perhaps part of that equation will change some day, but for now it is the reality we face This means that even more sacrifice is required, which is what this event is about It provides a fun and playful backdrop for the very serious business of building a counter-culture of intellectual, spiritual and moral formation that will last a lifetime – indeed, I pray, an eternity I know you have various other commitments and responsibilities, and like all of us, limited resources So, please be as generous as possible and as generous as is reasonable Keep in mind, as well that with this event, we will go on to a two-year cycle I would also ask that you both pray for Sacred Heart Parish and Academy, and let others know what is happening on the West Side of Grand Rapids It is very much a story worth telling SACRED HEART PARISH & ACADEMY Fr Robert Sirico Pastor U items in tonight’s SILENT AUCTION SILENT AUCTION & HOSTED PARTY bids close at 7:40 PM!
