Busy, Busy People

Church, Del escritorio del pastor, From the Pastor's DeskBy stpauladminMarch 28, 2022

My stepmother sometimes says she’s “busier than flies on horseshit.”  It’s a striking image, and I think of it once in a while when I run across someone who’s really busy.  There’s an interesting question lying just under the surface when we look at how busy we are.  One way to ask the question is…

Why come and Pray?

Del escritorio del pastor, From the Pastor's Desk, News, Social JusticeBy Fr. Mike EnrightMarch 4, 2022

In a recent article in Church Life Journal, Timothy O’Malley wrote about the difficulty Americans have in understanding Catholicism.  It’s hard to do justice to the article in a page long note, and if you want to see the whole thing, click here.  Here’s an attempt at a summary. O’Malley writes that we Americans think…

Communities and Limits

Del escritorio del pastor, From the Pastor's Desk, Justicia Social, Social JusticeBy Fr. Mike EnrightFebruary 25, 2022

Who are we?  One of the ways we might describe ourselves is as members of communities.  Or at least we used to be that.  Wendell Berry has been doing some remarkable writing on the nature of communities and in an essay he published a few years ago he ties together concern for the environment, civil…

The Catholic Moment

Church, From the Pastor's DeskBy Fr. Mike EnrightFebruary 25, 2022

I’d like to begin this little reflection by saying clearly that I love my country.  There is so much good in us, and there are so many possibilities for us.  We Americans have many good qualities, and some great ones, too.  At the same time, our culture needs to be healed.  We are not living…

Club Rules, from the Lamp Magazine

From the Pastor's Desk, NewsBy Fr. Mike EnrightJanuary 31, 2022

From the Lamp Magazine, Issue 7, St. Rose 2021 I was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic disorder manifesting as a general weakness of my voluntary muscles. Along with it comes a variety of secondary difficulties as limbs atrophy and radical sedentation becomes a lifestyle. Weakness defines my life. And that’s not a bad…

Visiting the Jail

From the Pastor's Desk, News, Social JusticeBy Fr. Mike EnrightDecember 3, 2021

I started visiting Cook County Jail in 1985 and have been going ever since.  For a while I was stationed in South Chicago and couldn’t go regularly, but often enough parishioners would end up in the jail and I’d see them.  When I started, the jail was pretty small… it started on 26th and California…

Conduciendo a Sammy a casa

From the Pastor's Desk, NewsBy Fr. Mike EnrightNovember 29, 2021

Hace tiempo que no he hablado con un pandillero. En San Pablo en estos días, cada vez hay menos de ellos… el barrio está cambiando y se están moviendo poco a poco. De una manera extraña, eso hace que la situación sea más peligrosa. Solía ser que una pandilla controlaba un área bastante grande ……

Driving Sammy Home

From the Pastor's Desk, NewsBy Fr. Mike EnrightNovember 29, 2021

It’s been a while that I haven’t spoken with a gang member.  In St. Paul these days, there are fewer and fewer of them… the neighborhood’s changing and they’re moving out little by little.  In a strange way, that makes the situation more dangerous.  It used to be that a gang would control a pretty…

What’s in a Word

From the Pastor's Desk, News, UncategorizedBy stpauladminNovember 29, 2021

What’s in a word? Language changes.  What was a common expression in 1960 or 1860 might mean something completely different in 2021.  Our ways of using words and the words themselves change… partly because the world changes!  After all, who could have imagined something like a “television” in 1900?  We didn’t even have radios then! …
