Wellness Matters

December 30, 2020 By Marianne Brass

“COVID-19 has created an unprecedented upheaval in the American culture,
with over 245,000 fatalities, skyrocketing unemployment, and countless changes to education, daily routines, and social interaction. As more data becomes available, the pandemic’s effects now reflect its enormous toll on mental health and an exploding demand for new treatment options.”

Engage with our favorite psychologist and visiting priest, Fr. Matthew Malek as he discusses mental health in COVID-19 times.

Fr. Matthew Malek is an Associate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and completed his graduate program at St. Mary’s University School of Graduate Professional Psychology in Minneapolis. He enjoys working with adults, young adults and children as clients.  Matthew enjoys working with those confronting multi-faceted challenges with life transition, addictions, trauma issues and relational dynamics. Matthew also functions as a Roman Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of St Paul-Minneapolis, so his approach embraces spirituality, mindfulness and holistic-health perspectives. He has worked in several integrated care settings, including community-based mental health and hospitals. He also integrates his previous experiences as a career consultant and as an educator into counseling, as well as over 20 years of being in recovery communities.

Fr. Matthew’s counseling approach draws from a variety of proven therapeutic regimens, including narrative therapy, as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused skills work. He is also experienced in working with mental health diagnoses such as depression and anxiety, trauma-related disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, grief and bereavement, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, thought disorder, and institutional trauma-betrayal.

Lenten Scripture Series: Words of Wisdom

December 28, 2020 By Grace Koleczek

Our pastor, Fr. Tom Krenik, will lead a Bible study during Lent on the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament. This includes the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom, Sirach, and the Song of Songs. The focus will be on the unique contribution of these Sacred Scriptures in our Bible. Emphasis will be given to how these books appear in the Liturgy of the Church and the implications for our daily Christian living.

WHEN:

These sessions will be held on five consecutive Tuesday evenings beginning February 23 through March 23, 2021 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Because of the pandemic, at this point we are offering the series via Zoom and will alert registrants if safety protocol changes and allows for an in-person option. Sessions will be recorded and sent to all registrants.

I’M INTERESTED! WHAT NEXT?

There is no cost to participate. We ask participants to bring a copy of their Bible (hard copy or electronic version) to each session. Other materials will be sent electronically. Submit your registration using the online form below.

Free will offerings accepted towards “Adult Faith Formation.” You can either (1) send a check to Church of the Risen Savior, ATTN: Grace Koleczek, 1501 E. Co.

Hope and Solidarity from Our Sister Parish

December 8, 2020 By Grace Koleczek

Earlier this year in October, Risen Savior parishioner and long-time member and co-chair of the Sister Parish Committee, George Kohler, passed away. At the request of Risen Savior Staff, George’s wife, Karen, recorded the remembrance she gave at his funeral to share with our parish in the video below. We invite you to listen to the story of who George was and be filled with the hope this season of Advent inspires in us.

When Risen Savior celebrated George’s funeral in November, we were not the only church lifting him and his loved ones up in prayer. Our Sister Parish St. Rose of Lima (Gris Gris, Haiti) celebrated a special Mass for George at the very same time. The people of Gris Gris had touched George’s life in an incredible way, and he clearly touched theirs as well. The relationships George built with Fr. Fayant, pastor of St. Rose, and the people of Gris Gris embodied what it means to be in a sister parish relationship—one of family and walking together in solidarity. Across the miles, Fr. Fayant and St. Rose Parish gave George’s loved ones and our wider parish family the priceless gift of their presence, compassion, and an outpouring of support. May their generosity inspire hope in each of us this season!

Into the Dark: Bearing Witness to Suffering and Mystery

December 7, 2020 By Grace Koleczek

Into the Dark is a small group experience of prayer, reflection, and deeper engagement in living the Gospel call. It is designed by JustFaith Ministries and is the 2nd part of their Engaging Spirituality Series. Even if you haven’t already done the first part (Out of the Light: Creating Sacred Space for Self and Others), you are welcome to consider signing up for Into the Dark! We have a limited number of spaces open in our small group. Keep reading for more information and how to register!

Contact: Grace Koleczek, Adult Faith Formation and Social Justice Coordinator, (952) 698-1724, grace.koleczek@risensavior.org

What is it? Into the Dark invites participants into mystery, down the “path of unknowing” in order to unmask and strip away our illusions about ourselves and others. The program cultivates a space to hold incompleteness, befriend paradox, and to seek solidarity with others–especially those who are poor and marginalized in our world today.

Why participate? The program is designed to help participants (1) discern how to embody prayer in our daily lives, that our prayer might be active and our action prayerful; (2) practice engaging in service and advocacy that is grounded in contemplative practices; (3) develop practical tools for noticing the Holy Presence, deepening personal relationships, and experiencing inner peace.

What happens each week? Each week we gather for 2-1/2 hours to pray, reflect, discuss the assigned reading, and share how we are noticing the integration of our faith in daily life. Some weeks will include videos to watch and discuss as a group. In between sessions, participants read assigned chapters of the materials, practice what they are learning in their prayer lives, and try out new spiritual practices and suggestions.

What is the commitment? Participants commit to attending each weekly Thursday evening session, reading and reflecting on the program materials and spiritual resources between sessions. The schedule of our meetings is below. At this point, all sessions will be held virtually on Zoom:

Session 1: January 7th, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 2: January 14th, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 3: January 21st, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 4 “Listening Session”: Saturday, January 30th, 9:30a.m.-12p.m.

Session 5: February 4th, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 6: February 11, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 7 Immersion Experience: February 18th, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 8: February 25th, 6-8:30p.m.

Session 9 Discernment Morning: Saturday, March 6th, 9:30a.m.-12p.m.

What is the cost? The cost is to purchase the required materials and totals $50. If you already have one or more of the following materials, the cost will be lower.

  • The Holy Longing, by Ronald Rolheiser
  • Embracing the World: Praying for Justice and Peace, by Jane E. Vennard
  • Engaging Spirituality Prayer Journal
