AND THE WORD IS.....

Freedom

�� By Fr. John Connors

Monday June 6^th is the anniversary of D-Day, the day on which Allied Forces stormed the beaches of Normandy to begin the liberation of Europe in the quest for freedom. We also celebrated Memorial Day last week and Flag Day is coming up on June 14^th. It is a time to give thanks to God for our freedom as a nation. And, it is a time to remember those who have sacrificed to preserve our liberty. My father along with the loved ones of millions of families served in the Allied effort in Europe.

On June 6, 2024 more than 12,000 Allied aircraft and about 5,000 naval vessels began the massive invasion of France. They had waited for a break in the weather and it finally came. In the first wave of the landing at Omaha beach one unit suffered 91 percent casualties. As General Omar Bradley would later write, �Six hours after the landing, we held only 10 yards of beach.�

When news of D-Day went out into the world, the world understood the immensity of the moment. The New York Daily News pulled its lead stories to print the Lord�s Prayer on its front page. Broadcasting from Paris, Nazi authorities told citizens that anyone cooperating with the Allies would be shot. And across France, the resistance defied those warnings.

One such person who bravely defied those warnings and stood up for freedom is Paul Giguerre. You may remember reading about him recently in the republican. Paul is a member of Holy Name Parish and still attends Mass often. He is now 81, but back on D-Day he was just 19 years old and was behind enemy lines before the D-day invasion began. Although American, he was part of the French Resistance and worked to gain intelligence information.

Once he was caught by the Gestapo and had both hands broken during interrogation. I can still see parts of his hands swollen after Mass some days. Paul later escaped and returned back to the Resistance. There would be many other covert assignments he would receive in the overall effort to bring freedom to the world.

When the D-Day invasion was over and the guns fell silent the coastline along France was strewn with many of the personal belongings of those who gave their lives. Wallets, photos, helmets, canteens, and diaries were just some of the items. But there were also small bibles mixed in with the wreckage of war. Many of the soldiers had carried those bibles in their gear. And it is in the bible that we hear the verse: �no greater love that this that a man lay down his life for another.� May God bless those who have served our country and preserved our freedom.

Annual Catholic Appeal

One Church, One Body....Serving One Another

New Spirit, Inc.

Just one of the many ministries funded through your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal

Just this past month the Springfield Republican ran a very important story about services to our youth and showcased in that article the President of New Spirit, Inc. on of the vital ministries that are supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal....

�New Spirit is a non-profit youth ministry organization committed to proclaiming the good news of God�s Real Presence in the world and his Unconditional Love for each of us. Their goal is to create an environment which accepts and celebrates all young people, enabling them to enjoy a positive faith experience, and inviting then to be in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.�

Our congratulations to Pat Sears (and of course, Barry Kingston) for the wonderful work they achieve among the youth of Western Massachusetts. Pat and Barry are founders and facilitators of New Spirit, Inc. This non-profit ministry based in Springfield is but one that serves the youth of the four counties of our diocese and Western Massachusetts.

For those who have had the fortune of hearing this duo do just what their mission statement states, you know full well the talent and commitment that passionately guides them in their ministry.

We truly are extremely fortunate to have in our midst these two gentlemen. By donating to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year you will not only be making a gift to our youth, families, elderly, those in need, and diocesan administrative services but you will be making a commitment to the vital services that serve countless individuals throughout our four counties.
