EVIL

These days we cannot but think about evil. We all feel that evil is something that should  not  exist. Nevertheless, there is no area of human life in which its presence is not felt.  The discrepancy between what is and what ought to be has always called for an explanation in the account that mankind has sought to give of itself and its surroundings. Evil can be seen through two different forms: the nature of evil and moral evil. With regard to the nature of evil, it should be observed that evil is of at least two kinds -- physical and moral. Physical evil includes all that causes harm to man.  Physical evils directly due to nature are sickness, accident, death, etc.   Poverty, oppression, and some forms of disease are instances of evil arising from  imperfect social organization. Mental suffering such as anxiety, disappointment, and  remorse, and the limitation of intelligence which prevents humans beings from  attaining  the full comprehension of their environment, are congenital forms of evil.  Moral evil is the deviation of human will from the prescriptions of the moral order and the action which results from that deviation. Such action, when it proceeds solely from ignorance, is not to be classified as moral evil.

We Remember

On September 11th the whole world was shaken to its foundations by the savage acts of terrorism. A deep dark cloud of sadness lingers over us.We pray for the fatherless child....We pray for the motherless child....We pray for the childless father....We pray for the childless mother....We pray for the now lonely friend of a victim.....We pray for the rescuers......We pray for the traumatized workers......We pray for the sad and angry   people o f N.Y. and Washington.....We pray for the world......Lord, please heal all our suffering. We express our deepest sympathies for all those touched by this devastation and we pray: Dear Father Almighty, As we mourn for all the souls who died Tuesday in the attack, we ask You to extend the full portion of Your mercy on their souls. We also beg of You to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, into the lives of their surviving relatives and friends. You, Father, and You alone, have the power to bring good out of evil. We humbly implore You to guide the hands, feet, and minds of all rescue workers, and police and fire workers who are responding to this crisis these days. Protect them!  Guide  them!  Help them save lives! We will remember the victims of this evil attack this Sunday at a special 9:30 mass at which all the school children will  participate, and also at the 11 A.M. Croatian mass. We also invite you to join our Prayer Group  on Monday evening at 7:00 P.M. for a vigil, rosary, prayers, and meditations held in the church.

90^thAnniversary Parish Banquet-October 6, 2002

As you know , during the past few years we have held our annual parish banquet in our school hall. The banquet has been a huge success and  an opportunity for us to come together and celebrate socially as a parish. Next year St. Jerome will be celebrating its 90^th anniversary as a parish.  Plans are being made to hold a special banquet on October 6^th 2002, a year from  now, to celebrate this memorable occasion. At the recent St. Jerome Parish Council meeting, the planning of the 90^th anniversary celebration was discussed.  The Council decided that in light of the amount of time and work involved in planning next year=s special event, it would be appropriate not to have our regular annual parish banquet this year. We all agreed that our focus should be on planning and organizing next year's special celebration. As members of the Parish Council we are excited about this upcoming event,  and trust that St. Jerome's Parish will again join together to make next year's 90^th Anniversary celebration a huge success. Additional information regarding this event  will be provided to all parishioners as it becomes available.                                          The St.  Jerome Parish Council

The famous comedy, the play Hamlet, A Little Village Show, that was scheduled to be performed under the sponsorship of our parish and Cardinal Stepinac Croatian School at Robert Healy School on Friday, September 21, has been canceled due to the national crisis.  The troupe of actors is detained in Montreal.  Out of respect for the terrible loss of life and suffering, they would not want to perform a comedy.  They have expressed  their concern and sympathy for our nation.  Anyone who has already obtained tickets can receive a full refund from whomever they purchased them.
