Parish Episode 5: The Dead are Heavy

Right up until Episode 5, Parish has followed a certain formula. But, this latest episode, KUmba, jumps to the front those cliches. Dead bodies are heavy, dammit, and they show this as Gray and his cohort in crime remove a corpse from chez Parish. This one little attention to detail has made all the difference here. Almost every cop show and other forms of televised violent action, time and…

Do you have more Catholic Bradley headcanons? I also see him as Catholic too 🤞 and I'd love to hear more of your thoughts

(ps love your fics!)

OMG!! (Thank u btw ily)

OMG!! I love Catholic guilt Bradley!! I will say, straight up, I’m not religious, and I never have been, so I’m not VEry familiar with Catholic stuff, but I’ll try my best to get the ✨vibe✨ sorry if I get anything wrong and they aren’t very specific, I’m not very confident with the details despite my research lol

-he used to go to confession almost every week after school, desperately trying to do anything to quell the impending sense of panic that came with all the thoughts about boys (of course)

-he was one of the only kids in his parish that went that frequently, and his parents used to brag that it was because he was because he was wise beyond his years, and would do anything to be in God’s good graces

-the first time he went to a high school party with weed, he went to confession every day for a week

-quickly however; he starts to use recreational drugs and drinking to quash the impure thoughts, he mumbles a quick prayer of forgiveness every time he finishes a drink, but it doesn’t stop him, the guilt got murky when he was under the influence

-he stopped going to communion and confession when he was 18, he tells his parents he still goes, but he doesn’t feel like he’s worthy of gods good graces

-he was really close to a boy in his parish, they spent services together, they would run around outside of church after services while their parents spoke. When they were 15, they hid in the pews while everyone was milling around outside and he kissed him. Bradley freaked out, and pushed him over, and he cracked his front tooth on the tiled floor. His parents berated him for hours and hours, and he sees the cracked tooth and the smile of the boy who made his haunting thoughts a reality in his nightmares, because he LIKED it.

-it confirmed everything about how he saw himself, it wasn’t a hypothetical, or just thoughts anymore. He spiralled for a few weeks, refusing to leave his room or his house, except to go to church. His parents thought he had come down with a stomach bug. The boys family moved pretty quickly to another church after this incident, and Bradley never saw him again, sans in his head every night for years.

-speaking of nightmares, when he was a teen, he used to wake up screaming, so much so his parents tried to take him to a doctor, but obviously there wasn’t anything physically wrong with him. It morphed into just waking up soaked with sweat.

-when he was 24 he starts the painful process of deconstruction with the help of Max and Tank’s support, and his parents don’t take it well at all. They cut him off completely, and his mom secretly sends him periodic messages saying she’s praying for his soul, and that she hopes he might one day make it to heaven. He never replies.

-the guilt gets smaller, but there’s moments he reaches for his rosary, and he finds his tongue knows the shape of prayers no matter how old he gets.

We lost a giant today.  Alice Von Hildebrand, who has been described as "one of the greatest women Catholic intellectuals we have today", passed away early this morning on January 14th, 2022, at 98 years old. Eternal rest be granted unto her and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. “The devil is clever and we are stupid. He knows full well that if he can destroy femininity, he can destroy the Church, marriage and the family.” --Alice Von Hildebrand

Prayers desperately needed for a young woman from my parish (who I've known since she was a kid & used to babysit) who gave birth to her first baby today, a little girl named Isla. The baby experienced severe birth trauma and is critically ill and it sounds like a desperate situation. Mom's name is Jillian. ❤️

The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

2016 Newbery Honor Book

Adapted by Matthew, Rebecca, Andie, Shannon, and Lydia of St. Michael Parish School (2024)

From Cincinnati, OH

Judges' Remarks: I loved the performances by all the actors in this movie—and the commitment to the fun English accents really took this movie to the next level! Every role was so well done: Mam's relishing of her cruelty, Ada's stubborn underdog charm, Jamie very earnest and engaging as the little brother, and Mrs. Smith and Maggie and Mrs. Thorton all compelling as well. Ada really made me believe in her club foot—I liked that it was wrapped up to visually signify the handicap, and that she was always limping or using crutches. There was a smart use of both indoor and outdoor locations to tell the story, from the playground fields where Ada and Maggie ride horses (and it was clever how you used a stuffed horse and a broomstick horse to represent their mounts) to the bottom of the stairs for the bomb shelter. (I also thought it was resourceful how you represented the air raid siren by having people off-camera singing "woo-ooo, woo-ooo.") The script was tight, zipping through the highlights of the story in a coherent way, such that that even if the audience hadn't read the book, they would still understand the basics of the story—a tough feat to pull off! There was effective cinematography and editing too. The whole movie had a high-spirited vibe that made it feel like you had a great time making it, which makes it extra fun to watch . . . all the way to the end, when Ada, Jamie, and Susan give a jubilant "thumbs-up" to the camera. Fantastic work!

2024 Minutes

Minutes: Bishop Committee Meeting

January 14, 2024 @ 12:25pm

Attendance: Ed and Bernadette Hamilton, Mary Carter, Camille Norman, Deacon Dan Dykstra, Stephanie Edison, Carla and Ron Parish, and Jean Christensen

Deacon Dan opened the meeting with prayer.

Motion was made to accept the November minutes as written and no corrections were made.

OLD BUSINESS:

Gym Floor: It was recommended, moved and seconded with final approval by the Bishop’s Committee to pay Sexton, Ron Parris, $5,500 to complete repairs on the gym floor. Ron will receive a deposit of $2,500. The contract includes cleaning the stage underneath, which has been completed; previous work of varnish will be removed and recovered, and other items listed in the contract including putting the planks down to replace the damaged wood, no wood putty, and put down the floor materials purchased. The fee will be split at $2,750 between St. George’s Church and St. George’s Community Center.

Mortar flaking will be addressed and Ron will be in charge. The price was quoted as $60 for four (4) large cans. It is a spray on product. This still needs to be addressed in our November meeting. Ron was not present, out of town, and no report was made.

Deacon Dan will talk to Rev. Matt Bradley about the Homeless Project. St. George’s is able to provide meal/s for the group. In discussions, the committee felt that we could provide meals. Further discussion is needed to determine the number of times we could make the meals available for the people and if it would be dinner, snack bag, or breakfast food.

New Business:

Deacon Dan suggested two new projects for St. George’s.

People in the Pews Project – Deacon Dan would compose a letter asking Episcopal Churches to send a person from their church to worship at St. Georges. It would be a one-time visit or more if the people desire to continue coming.

Braden Committee Prep – St George’s and others would watch the video on Anne Braden’s life as a group.

Coats and Blankets Project: Mary stated that Church of the Advent will start to send items of clothing to St. George’s. Angie Mills from St. John’s in Murray, KY will participate. St. John’s Youth group will visit Louisville to go out and take items to the Homeless with us in December. A date for this event has not been set.

The monthly financial report was presented as of October 31, 2023 by Deacon Dan. St. George’s Episcopal Church has total assets of $27,574.49; the Community Center has total assets of $6,311.41. Both accounts joined together show assets of $33,885.90 representing our total liability and equity. Again, the only sources of income for the Center are the monthly check from the Diocese and private donations.

Reminder/s: We may not receive a Bishop’s visitation this year as Bishop White is recovering from an eye problem. Our opportunity will be based on the Bishop’s recovery this year, 2024.

Monday, February 12, 2024 is the date set for our annual parish meeting. A virtual option will be available.

Meeting adjourned at 12:25 pm.

Respectfully submitted,

Bernadette Hamilton

Minutes: Bishop Committee Meeting

February 12, 2024 @ 5:15pm

Meeting opened with prayer from Deacon Dan.

Attendance: Ed and Bernadette Hamilton, Mary Carter, Camille Norman, Deacon Dan Dykstra, Stephanie Edison, Carla and Ron Parris, Pamela Burdine and Jean Christensen

Deacon Dan opened the meeting with prayer.

Motion was made to accept the January minutes as written and no corrections were made.

OLD BUSINESS:

Gym Floor: Ron reported that the gym floor will be completed by February 20, 2024. Pam reported that Dare to Care (DTC) has 3-4 pallets with product on them that are in the gym. Ron suggested that DTC use the archway to hold the pallets and products for customers. Ron stated that he has already cleaned the area. DTC can move everything as long as it is not in the middle of the gym floor. Ron will be there on Tuesday to discuss the setup with the delivery team from the main DTC office.

Mortar flacking: Ron stated that he has completed the mortar flacking.

Deacon Dan will talk to Rev. Matt Bradley about the Homeless Project. St. George’s is able to provide meal/s for the group. In discussions, the committee felt that we could provide meals. Further discussion is needed to determine the number of times we could make the meals available for the people and if it would be dinner, snack bag, or breakfast food.

Christmas Food Boxes: Mary reported that we supplied 75 Christmas food boxes to the community.

Leadership Conference: Begins March 2, 2024 in Bowling Green, KY. It is free. Please don’t forget to register if you are interested.

Open House Partnership: The Partnership will meet on March 17, 2024 at Christ Church Cathedral (CCC) at 10:30 am

Safe Guarding: Camille has not heard from Safe Guarding Committee. Two documents were sent to her iPhone pertaining to convention delegates and clergy. It includes children and adult safety guidelines. Rev. Witt Stodgill is in charge. Camille will make contact with the committee.

Church leaders and Bishop Committee reassignment: Leader positions and names were listed. Mary Carter, Warden called for resignations and people interested in any positions of leadership. Thus, Mary Carter remains Warden and Ron Parris is Jr. Warden and Sexton. Deacon Dan Dykstra is officially listed as Clerk for receiving correspondence for the church. Jean Christensen expressed an interest in working with DTC. Jean withdrew the discussion until the next meeting due to time.

All Saints Camp: Mary will get information on All St. Camping rules and regulations.

Computer for Finance Chair, Carla Parris: The computer given/used by Eldra Reeves, former title of bookkeeper was returned in an unusable condition. It wouldn’t boot up. The church needs to buy Carla a new laptop. It was motioned, seconded and approved to buy the new laptop.

Deacon Dan suggested two new projects for St. George’s:

People in the Pews Project – Deacon Dan would compose a letter asking Episcopal Churches to send a person from their church to worship at St. Georges. It would be a one-time visit or more if the people desire to continue coming. We had people from St. Matthews last Sunday.

Braden Committee Prep: On March 7, 2024, St George’s and others would watch the video on Anne Braden’s life as a group at CCC at 12 noon. Volunteer readers are needed.

Coats and Blankets Project: Mary stated that Church of the Advent will start to send items of clothing to St. George’s. Angie Mills from St. John’s in Murray, KY will participate. St. John’s Youth group will visit Louisville to go out and take items to the Homeless with us in December. A date for this event has not been set.

The monthly financial report: The Bishop Marmion loan Balance is $676. It takes us to a zero balance when paid in full.

New Business:

Financial Considerations: 1) Convention fees will be paid by St., George’s Church for delegates and clergy. 2) All Saints Camp fees are part of the consideration and 3) “Garden in a Box.” If approved all three would be included in the budget.

The Budget Report for March will include the amounts spent for 2023. This is due to delays in meetings for Christmas, the weather and no major issues needing to be addressed during November, December and January. Deacon Dan will take all monthly income of receipts and checks to our accountant.

Balance for St. George’s as of Date: ___________________ is $_______________

Balance for the Community Center as of Date: _______________ is $___________

Mary will discuss the Parochial Report at the March meeting.

Community Center: St. George’s activities for 2023 were posted in the February minutes.

Upon Awakening an, AA Guided Meditation meets on Wednesday 10:30-11:30 under the leadership of Ron Parris, is in its 6th year. The “They Stopped in Time,” young people’s AA meeting now has six members and meets on Wednesday from 5:30-6:30pm.

Ron will drive the van for the Senior Citizens social group under the leadership of Stephanie Edison.

We are still on the list for Health Start “Baby Shower.” We have to wait until the gym floor is finished before it restarts.

Bonnie Barron is available for tax related work. She needs to clean the office space where she worked. She is now located in the public library. Ron is getting rid of the things that don’t belong in the room. There is a fee for tax filing.

Jean is working on mice control with cats, the Working Cats program. There are several considerations that need to be addressed before the project can begin. Pam is in agreement with acquiring the cats.

Cintax, a fire extinguisher company will relocate the fire extinguishers over the stove in the kitchen and make any other adjustments needed. Ron will work with them.

It was suggested that we come up with a flyer for the Center.

DTC will be partnering with Door Dash to provide delivery to individuals unable to pick up their box. It will include a box of fresh produce with the CSFP box. This is fabulous. Average Numbers of individuals served are listed as 60 families came to get produce weekly; 30 food boxes were provided each week and 95 commodity boxes were picked up each month.

A document needs to be drawn up to let the man next door know when he needs to leave our parking lot on the DTC side of the building.

Sacred Grounds group meets on February 28 from 6:30-7:30pm with Camille and Rev. Karl Rattan.

A special shout out to Stephanie Edison for the altar Banners she has created throughout the year. Your artistic talent is highly appreciated.

Reminder/s: We may not receive a Bishop’s visitation this year as Bishop White is recovering from an eye problem. Our opportunity will be based on the Bishop’s recovery this year, 2024.

Monday, March 11, 2024 is the date set for the next BC meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 6:23pm.

Bernadette Hamilton

Minutes: Bishop Committee Meeting

March 11, 2024 @ 5:15pm

Meeting opened with prayer from Deacon Dan.

Attendance: Ed and Bernadette Hamilton, Mary Carter, Deacon Dan Dykstra, and Jean Christensen

Prayer: Deacon Dan opened the meeting with prayer.

Reading of Minutes: Motion was made to accept the January minutes as written and no corrections were made.

OLD BUSINESS:

Gym Floor: After discussion, it was suggested that the gym floor needs at a minimum, two (2) more coats of the material used for sealing the floor, and a remover is still needed in some areas. The edges and front need to be repaired. We need to put down the tarps for DTC to continue moving products.

Homeless Project: Deacon Dan reported that the Homeless Project has been delayed until January 2025.

New Resident, Jupiter the Cat: Our cat is here. He is housed in the DTC refrigeration room. He is an adult male, five (5) years old, and fully vaccinated. When he is nervous, he hisses and bites. He has food needed for his transition in his cage, a smaller hut in the cage to sleep in with a blanket. He must be seen at least once a day and remain in his cage for two (2) weeks. At this time, Jean has taken responsibility for his care along with others. The main thing is not to let him out of the doors.

Open House Partnership: The Partnership will meet on March 17, 2024 at Christ Church Cathedral (CCC) at 10:30 am. St. George’s arrived for the morning worship service and stayed for the coffee hour afterwards. Other churches came after their service was complete. We had a good time eating and enjoying fellowship with our Episcopal brothers and sisters.

Parochial Report: Warden Mary is waiting on the pin number needed to finish the report.

Safe Guarding: Camille connected with the Safe Guarding Committee. Two documents were sent to her iPhone pertaining to convention delegates and clergy. It includes children and adult safety guidelines. Rev. Witt Stodgill is in charge. Camille will make contact with the committee. A link was sent by Camille to get us started. I have completed the Ministry section. I was able to print my certificate.

New Business: The Budget Report for March will include the amounts spent for 2023. This is due to delays in meetings for Christmas, the weather and no major issues needing to be addressed during November, December and January. Deacon Dan will take all monthly income of receipts and checks to our accountant.

Balance for St. George’s as of Date: ___________________ is $________________________

Balance for the Community Center as of Date: _______________ is $____________________

Holy Saturday: It will be held at 12 noon at St. George’s Episcopal Church. Everything will be in black.

Dare to Care: DTC needs to contact the main office for oil change locations for the delivery truck. The truck now has its new license tags. Mary is writing a letter to our neighbor next door. He parks in our van area space. The space is only available to him when we are not using the area.

Leadership Positions: Ron Parris has been asked and accepted to function in the capacity of Program Director for the Community Center. Because we are not a full parish, he cannot use the title of junior warden. Brother Ron is excellent in his role as a director or securing and recognizing program needs of the St. George Community. However, he is still the sexton for the church and a van driver. An official vote was called by Warden Mary Carter and the vote was a unanimous YES.

Jean Christensen has been asked and accepted the position as Event Coordinator and will maintain the calendar and remain in the position of directing church members as to refreshments needed for events. Any request for us of the facilities by outsides persons should go to Jean. She will discuss with Ron and Mary for availability and if the event is appropriate for the church space.
