ST. MARY & ST . BONIFACE CATHOLIC CHURCHES
Happy “72nd” Ordination Anniversary
Father Angelo C. Caserta
February 24, 1945
Celebration Sunday
April 23, 2017
Grand Opening & Dedication of the
New Church St. John-St. Lewis
Parish Dominica
Fr. Sharplis recently announced that they
will consecrate their new church for the
Parish of St John and St Lewis on the Sunday
after Easter (April 23rd). There are several
parishioners from the Piqua parishes who
have expressed an interest in attending the
event. At the present time, we are attempting
to compile a list of those parishioners who
would like to attend. If you are interested,
please send an email to Bob and Lois
Hartings at [email protected].
This visit will not be a parish-sponsored
twinning trip, and so all expenses must be
covered by the individuals who will be
attending. Our thought is that a group from
the Twinning Committee will try to
coordinate lodging and transportation as a
shared expense for the group.

Fr. Bolte at the luncheon as a Christmas gift. Afterwards, flowers and Christmas cards were
taken to parishioners confined to the local nursing homes. Our next
project will be the sale of desserts at the St. Mary Lenten Fish Fry on March 10.
Adult Faith Formation
Bible Study for the Year of Mercy: A seven week Bible study using the book Mercy; A Bible Study for

from both parishes at St. Mary Church. A reception in the North St. Campus cafeteria followed.
Coffee and Doughnuts: Held on the first Sunday of the month after the St. Mary 9:00am Mass
and the St. Boniface 11:00 am Mass. This is a time to enjoy refreshment and fellowship with
fellow parishioners. Sponsored by the Family Life Groups of both parishes, the Adult Faith
Formation coordinates the different groups hosting. If your group would like to host, please
contact Barb Kohl.
Christ Renews His Parish: A program of personal renewal for men and women
of both parishes. Led by parishioners for both parishes, the women’s was held on

RCIA candidates and catechumens during their formation period.
Lent: The Commission is now in the planning stages for the upcoming Lenten season. Stations of the Cross
will be offered on Thursday evenings at St. Mary and Sunday afternoon at St. Boniface. Times will be listed in
the bulletin during Lent. Father Ben Luedtke will be offering a retreat March 26-29th.
Resisting Happiness: A book by Matthew Kelly was distributed one per household at all
the Christmas Masses. The book can be used for personal reflection or in a group
discussion.
The Adult Faith Formation Commission is comprised of members from both St.
Boniface and St. Mary parishes, Fr. Bolte, and Diane Mengos. St. Boniface members are
Jim Niswonger, Nancy Peltier, Julie Tyler and Chuck Tyler. St. Mary members are Ann
Koehl, Barb Kohl (chairperson), Cathy Oda, Gloria Stonerock, Bill Wattercutter, Noreen

The Mission Committee would like to thank all the people that donated towards the
Giving Trees this Christmas. Your donations benefit our 2 missions and parish

Respect Life Committee
Respect Life Committee wants to thank you for your support of
Elizabeth’s New Life Center. We want to provide you with some
information about the wonders that ENLC has done over the years.
In 1989, ENLC opened their first office in Dayton to serve pregnant
women facing unexpected pregnancies and to provide another
option to a nearby abortion clinic.
In 1994, Elizabeth’s New Life Center purchased a vacant building beside the abortion clinic and renovated it
into a women’s center with medical capabilities. The following year ENLC opened its first Mother and Baby
Boutique to provide needy clients with material assistance to establish family life. In 1999, they began
providing abstinence education services to schools in an effort to expand efforts to prevent teen pregnancy.
Today Elizabeth’s New Life Center has 7 women’s centers; 3 in Montgomery County and 1 in Warren,
Hamilton and Shelby counties. The 7th women’s center is a new Mobile Women’s Center that travels to
local college campuses. In addition, they continue to provide abstinence education and marriage education.
Once again, thank you for your support.
Thanks and God Bless!
On Sunday, December 4, St. Nick made appearances
after the 9:00am and 11:00am Masses.
He’s pictured here with some of the children at St. Boniface.

Funeral Luncheon Committees
We invite you to join our ministry to help support families during their time of
grieving for a lost one. Our parishes provide the families of the deceased with
lunch in the Downing Street Campus cafeteria. The Funeral Luncheon
Committees organize the food donations to help keep the costs of the meals
down and coordinate the volunteers who help the day of the funeral to set up,
serve, and clean-up. Please consider assisting your fellow parishioners and
friends during such an important time in their lives.
If willing to donate food items (casserole, salad, vegetable, soup, dessert, buns, etc.) or help at the lunch-
eons, you will be called on a “rotating” basis every 3-4 funeral luncheons. If you are interested in helping
with this great ministry and would like to have your name placed on the list for funeral luncheon donations
and luncheons helpers, please contact the office, 773-1327 or Bernice Lewis, 773-8540 (St. M.) or office,
773-1656 or Rose Hemm at 778-8642 / [email protected] (St. B.).
If when called, it is not a good time for you to assist — just tell us you cannot help at this time. If you
would like your name removed from the list, just let us know. Please direct any questions to Bernice or
Rose. Many thanks to “ALL” of our parishioners who have assisted with this ministry over the years!

Meditation on Psalm 88: When I lose my way
God will come another road, and reach me. When I grope in the land of forgetfulness,
God will remember me. When I no longer know who I am,
God will call me by name. When darkness is my only companion
Memories and old prayers will be stars and in time, or beyond it,
Someone will be sent, bringing a lamp. By Christine Fleming Heffner Author of Parables for the Present, The Way of Light, & Intercession, the Greatest Service

Why Resist? Hello, Parishioners! This is Diane Mengos, DRE, and my article for this newsletter is entitled “Why Resist”
because….
* The Adult Faith Formation committee, led by Barb Kohl, will sponsor several discussion groups during
Lent this year centered on the book “Resisting Happiness” by Matthew Kelly. Did you receive your book as
a gift this Christmas at our Piqua parishes? Check the doors of church for extras. Please start to read this
wonderful book about how to choose and find true happiness—just as God wishes for us!
* The Adult Faith Formation committee is also sponsoring the Christ Renews His Parish Retreat for Men
on Jan. 21-22. Please don’t resist the importance of inviting a male to this excellent experience of growing
faith.
* The Adult Faith Formation committee will also host a terrific speaker for a parish retreat: Fr. Ben
Luedtke. Do Resist the urge to stay home—come and lift up your faith life!
* Concerning our Seven Dollar A Month Club—please don’t resist becoming a member! The Club costs
only $7 per week (or you can pay monthly, quarterly, or all-at-once). It does so much good!! It supports our
adult Bible Studies, our sacramental prep for children and teens, our Youth Ministry Program, our
Wednesday Night Faith Formation program for public and home-schooled families, and our efforts to reach
young adults. We need more members because our outreach is growing—and our outreach is vital for pass-
ing on our faith.
* Please resist the urge to “leave our young adults alone.” Instead—invite them to Catholic young adult
groups in the area. See me for details.

School News — Center For Early Learning
Introducing Kelli Lyons: Kelli Lyons, pre-kindergarten teacher at CFEL/Piqua Catholic School, is pas-
sionate about what she does.
“Young children can absorb and learn many things,” Kelli said, “Providing the
foundation for learning in pre-school is so very important for the student’s
continued success in kindergarten and beyond.”
Kelli is a new teacher this year at the CFEL. There are 19 students in her
pre-kindergarten class, which meets from 9-11:30am — Monday thru Friday.
Prior to this position, she was the director and head teacher for four years at the
Edison Child Development Center.
Her educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Ohio Univer-
sity and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Technology from Grand Can-
yon University. In addition to teaching at the CFEL, Kelli is a part-time instructor for the Early Childhood
Program at Edison Community College. Classes she has taught include Introduction to Educa-
tion/Practicum, Creative Activities, and Educational Technology.
A resident of Piqua, Kelli’s family includes husband, Anthony Lyons, Assistant Superintendent of Piqua
City Schools and four children — Caleb, who is in junior high; Jonathan, a recent graduate of Piqua HS;
Bailey, who is in the army and just returned from Afghanistan; and Ashley, a recent graduate of Ohio State
University. Two dogs, Nala (10-month-old Goldendoodle) & Molly (13-year-old Brittany Spaniel) complete
the family.
What does Kelli like to do in her spare time? She enjoys watching her kids do what they enjoy doing and
spending time together as a family — sharing dinner, playing games, and talking. Kelli likes to read —
James Patterson-type adventure/mystery stories. “And.” she said, “I’m always on the lookout for interesting
children’s picture books that I can use in the classroom.” She added, “Children’s books also inspire the
writer in me, which is something that I plan to do in the future.”
In the classroom, Kelli creates a successful learning environment for her students, inspiring within them a
love for learning. “I do what I do because of the pure enjoyment of being an educator.” she said.
(For CFEL enrollment information, contact Director Erin Grant, 773-3876.)

We will also have recommendations for flights but the flight arrangements and the associated trip insur-
ance must be made individually. Flights have typically run between $900 and $1,000 per person.
We understand that the New York support team is also organizing a group to attend the event. Recently,
we received the following communication from Dr. Douglas to congratulate the entire New York team
for all of its dedication and focus to rebuild the church since it was destroyed in the 2004 earthquake.
Date Set for the Consecration of the New Church in Dominica Continued From Page 1
Thank you very much for making time from your busy Christmas schedule to join us for the dinner get-together on Wednesday night and bringing your spouse or significant other to share the evening and pleasant memories of our NYPRCCRI history with us. What a wonderful time we all had...all 17 of us! I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present and Christmas gift wrapped into one! The energy in the room was electric, your support deeply felt, and the conversation truly animated.
Given that construction is almost finished, we re-declared Easter 2017 (now set to the following Sunday) as the date we'll work towards for the grand opening of the church. True, it still needs ceiling tiles, electrical, music system, and floor tiles, but with vigorous fundraising, that should be completed in time. The Easter date was first declared during the NYPRCCRI meeting at St Matthews on Eastern Parkway in September where Fr. Sharplis and Bob Hartings (of Piqua, the twinning parish in Ohio) were also in attendance. On Wednesday night, we all raised our hands when asked whether we would make the trip to Dominica for the event, so I'm going to contact American Airlines and Jet Blue to begin the process of seeking a discounted group fare.
As we celebrate Christmas Day today, I wish to once again acknowledge you who came, and all those who didn't make it due to scheduling conflicts - and I've cc'd all of them on this email - for your years of heartfelt contribution to rebuilding the Portsmouth RC Church...also for your fellowship, going way beyond the call of duty, and continuing assistance in bringing this project
to closure. — Monty
