Dear Parishioners,

One of the things I do to try and relate with toddlers is to ask them to “give me five” or “knuckles”. Except
for the boldest of them, this usually takes a little coaxing. Once they come out of their shell, however, they
will usually get quite excited about this opportunity, especially if I pretend like they’ve hurt my hand as
soon as they strike it. They’ll laugh and giggle and seem genuinely pleased with themselves, even if I
pretend like I’m crying from the pain they have inflicted. In fact, the more I pretend to cry and wail in pain,
the more they seem to enjoy it. It really seems kind of twisted, when you think about it. What do toddlers
find so delightful?

Well, at first I thought it was Original Sin corrupting the fallen human. But I don’t think so. I no longer
believe that they are delighting in my pain, but rather they are rejoicing in their power; a power that can do
more than they had ever thought possible. If this is true, then it is a beautiful thing!

But wait a minute. Did I say that right? Did I really just say that a desire for power is a beautiful thing? The
answer is absolutely yes. After all, what is a thirst for power but a thirst for God, who is indeed all-
powerful? In fact, God Himself imbeds this desire within us as a way of drawing us closer to Him; through
our desire to share with Him, to become one with His power.

This is actually seen quite profoundly in the story of our first parents, Adam and Eve. Recall that the true
temptation of the devil was to become like God to become powerful. This worked so efficiently because the
devil, as he always does, counterfeited a noble desire. Instead of becoming powerful like God who came,
not to be served, but to serve, the devil convinced Adam and Eve that this desire for power could be satisfied
through autonomy; by doing whatever they wanted. It is precisely this same twisted understanding of power
that infects our world with every form of selfishness, violence and discrimination.

Fortunately, Jesus Christ came to restore a proper understanding of this beautiful desire for power. By living
His life in service to others, even to the point of enduring an unjust sentence of death, Jesus gained for us
the power we truly crave; not the power of autonomy that leads to selfishness, violence and discrimination,
but the true power to be like God through the Gift of the Holy Spirit. In a very real sense, the Holy Spirit
fulfills the desire of our first parents by allowing us to be so like God that we can truly call ourselves His
children!

Of course, this is also why the desire for power embedded in all of us cannot be satisfied with the ability
to dominate, to control or to be autonomous, as the devil continues to convince us of today. Rather, Jesus
tells us that this desire is only satisfied with the ability to forgive. “Receive the Holy Spirit,” Jesus says in
the gospel of St. John. “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven and whose sins you retain are retained.” And,
when you think about it, this makes perfect sense. After all, which is a more powerful act? To lash out, hold
a grudge or become angry whenever we are wronged? Anyone can do that! No, true power is our ability to
turn the other cheek, to bear wrongs patiently and to forgive those who have harmed us. You see,
forgiveness is the most power any human being can exercise, which is probably why it is so difficult.

But notice how profoundly this power can and has changed the world. The forgiveness of Jesus on the cross
won the conversion of the good thief. The forgiveness of St. Stephen the martyr as he was being stoned won
the conversion of all of us by converting St. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. The forgiveness of all the
martyrs throughout the history of the Church brought continuous growth in every age and country. This
same forgiveness can work just as profoundly in our own age. It is a power of the Holy Spirit given to every
child of God. All we have to do is use it.

In Christ,

Rev. Eric Olsen

St. Francis of Assisi Parish Pastoral Council Minutes
                                      November 30, 2021

The meeting of the parish pastoral council was called to order by President Duane Kosch at
7:00 PM on Thursday, November 30, 2021. Fr. Olsen led the opening prayer. Members present
were Fr. Eric Olsen, Erik Baumgart, Ken Classen, Janet Eisenmenger, Dan Fehringer, Duane
Kosch, Taylor Werner and Kari Wieseler. Bryan Reichmuth and Brandon Morfeld were excused.

The minutes from the October 28, 2021, meeting were reviewed and approved as written.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

School Board:

Thank you to Lindsey Kosch for her years of service on the school board. Todd Preister will serve
another term on school board, and Brent Reichmuth has been selected as a new member to serve
his first term.

The 6th-8th grade classes were able to attend a life skills/sportsmanship retreat in Lincoln that was
dedicated to youth. Added bonus was that they were able to attend a Husker women’s game seeing
St. Francis alumni, Allison Weidner, play basketball.

In a very difficult and challenging year, kudos was given to the teachers for their work in prepping
the grade school children for daily Mass. Fr. Olsen has been very impressed with their participation
and behavior at Mass.

Coop results were reviewed. The results show St. Francis in support of the coop but Lindsay Holy
Family not in support of the coop. Fr. Olsen has reached out to the Archdiocese to get advisement
on whether to move forward.

Discussion was held as to options for a religion teacher as Fr. Wayne Pavela has confirmed he is
done teaching at the end of the 2nd quarter.

Finance Board:

In the event funds need to be covered for the school finances, it was discussed that the school
savings would be used first, and then subsidies.

Discussion was held on past due tuition accounts. Further discussion will resume at the next
finance board meeting.

Development:

Results have yet to be finalized, but preliminary results show this year’s event to be a top five
(maybe even top three) finish for the Blue and White Night. To-go meals were still very popular
this year for those unable to attend. Thank you to Michael and Lori Wegener for the substantial
amount of time they donated to lining up the online auction.
OLD BUSINESS:

Duane Kosch is continuing to work on the bat issue at this time.

The Knights of Columbus paid for the replacement of the door on the northwest corner of the
church. Thank you for this generous donation.

A quote has been obtained to install an automatic locking door system on the church like the school
uses. For the last several years, volunteers have been coming to the church each morning and
evening, locking and unlocking the church doors. The quote was reviewed and approved to
proceed with moving forward with this system.

PASTOR’S REPORT:

The current parish pastoral council members will remain on until next year, and an election will
be held at that time.

Due to Christmas being on Saturday this year, Saturday Masses will not fulfill the Sunday
obligation. Christmas Masses this year will be as follows:

      St. Francis, Humphrey: Christmas Eve – 5:30 PM, Christmas Day – 10:00 AM
      St. Mary’s, Leigh: Midnight Mass
      Holy Family, Lindsay: Christmas Eve – 5:00 PM, Christmas Day 8:00 AM
      St. Michael’s, Tarnov: Christmas Eve, 7:00 PM

For the school 2nd semester, there will be six theology classes that will need to be covered,
Ms. Vitoria Wiese will teach the Freshmen religion class. Fr. Olsen will teach the sophomores,
which leaves the junior and senior classes that need to be covered. Fr. Olsen plans to contact the
Archdiocese to obtain an updated status on Fr. Steve Emanuel and how they plan to assist with
covering these two religion classes.

There has been research into adult education programs and there are plans to purchase the
“Formed” life instruction module to potentially use for some of our upper classes as well as adult
parishioners. The parish council was challenged to consider ideas on how to form small group
opportunities structured around adult faith formation.

As previously mentioned, Fr. Olsen has reached out to the Chancellor of the Omaha Archdiocese
who handles the business segment to obtain advice on the coop. He has been in contact with
Deacon Tim McNeal, and there are plans for a consultant to meet with the Archdiocese to discuss
and evaluate a pastoral planning project already in progress. Fr. Olsen also wants to bring up a
discussion on whether a priest should be in charge of the Catholic school (serve as president) or if
a lay person would be better suited for this position.

The question was asked for an update on our current teaching openings. There was an applicant
for the business teacher position, but this has not progressed. There is currently interest from an
upcoming college graduate for the high school science teacher position. There was an applicant
for the 4th grade position, but Mrs. McPhillips is interested in continuing her position going
forward. There is, however, an opening at this position at Lindsay Holy Family, so this may be
something this applicant would be able to fill. Additional interest has also been expressed for lower
elementary positions in the event that something opens up.

The meeting adjourned at 8:09 PM with a prayer.

The next meeting is scheduled for January 6, 2022, at 7 PM in the parish rectory.

Respectfully,
Kari Wieseler, Secretary
