The Fall Harvest Dinner is being held
Sunday, October 4th from 11am-2pm.
The committee is hard at work in the
planning stages. ALL proceeds will go
to the new CCD classrooms and
Social Hall building. There are a few
things that will be modified to make
this successful and safe. The dinner will be by CARRY
OUTS ONLY with curbside service available.
����������������������������� ����������
We will be doing a ticket raffle. With that being said, we
are looking for your help in gathering large prizes to be
advertised on the tickets. These prizes need to be
significant enough to draw attention and promote a good
response in ticket sales. Some suggestions are (but not
limited to) a snow blower, a quilt, large pre-lit Christmas
Tree, LP Gas Grill, cash prize donations, a nice collection
of Scrip gift cards, a robotic Vacuum cleaner, Ice fishing
shanty, Deer stand, Winter resort weekend packages, etc.
Once the tickets are made available, a sign in sheet will
be set up and you can pick up as many tickets as you
think you can sell. Payments and ticket stubs can be
placed in the collection basket or mailed to the church to
the attention of RAFFLE. Thank you again for your
continued support of our parish CCD classrooms and
social hall fundraising efforts. Any questions can be
directed to either Mary at 715-340-7217 or Pat at
715-366-2576.

Dear loving parishioners,
Love and Peace of Christ!
The Feast of the Assumption is one of the most
important feasts of our Lady. Catholics believe in the
Assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven. We believe
that when her earthly life was finished, Mary was taken
up, body and soul, into Heavenly glory, where the Lord
exalted her as Queen of Heaven. (CCC # 966). The
Assumption is the feast of Mary’s total liberation from
death and decay, the consequences of original sin. It is
also the remembrance of the day when the Church
gave official recognition to the centuries-old belief of
Christians about the Assumption of their Heavenly
mother. In this regard let us recall the observation of
Lutheran Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, an influential
thinker and the founder of Analytical Psychology.
He remarked that the Papal announcement of the
dogma of the Assumption of Mary, in 1950, was “the
most important religious event since the
Reformation.” (p. 324).
The Assumption means that, along with the glorified
masculine body of Jesus in Heaven, there is also a
glorified feminine body of his mother, Mary. According
to Jung, “bodily reception of the Virgin into
Heaven” (Ibid.) meant that “the Heavenly bride was
united with the Bridegroom,” (Ibid., p. 322) which union
“signifies the hieros gamos” [the sacred marriage]
Acknowledging that the Assumption “is vouched for
neither in Scripture nor in the tradition of the first five
centuries of the Christian Church,” Jung observes
that: “the Papal declaration made a reality of what had
long been condoned. This irrevocable step beyond the
confines of historical Christianity is the strongest proof
of the autonomy of archetypal images.” ( p. 297). Jung
remarks that “the Protestant standpoint . . . is obviously
out of touch with the tremendous archetypal
happenings in the psyche of the individual and the
masses, and with the symbols which are intended to
compensate the truly apocalyptic world situation
today.” (pp. 322-323) Jung added: “Protestantism has
obviously not given sufficient attention to the signs of
the times which point to the equality of women. But this
equality requires to be metaphysically anchored in the
figure of a ‘divine’ woman. . .. The feminine, like the
masculine, demands an equally personal
representation.” (Ibid., p. 325)
“On this feast day, let us thank the Lord for the gift of
the Mother, and let us pray to Mary to help us find the
right path every day” (Pope Benedict XVI).
May God bless you,
Fr. Peter
