AUGUST 1, 2010
“Parishioners Helping Parishioners”
A Letter from Father Jan
In the spirit of fellowship and support of each other during these
tough economic times, we invite any parishioner(s) who own or
operate their own small business, to place their name on a new
“Parishioners Helping Parishioners” list that will appear on our
website and be available on the back of our monthly St. Peter
Event Calendar. This listing is at no cost to the small business
owner and is designed to build awareness of individuals in our
parish family who perform a service that other parishioners might
consider patronizing. To add your name to the list, just drop a
business card or your name, service and phone number on a blank
sheet of paper into the collection basket. To advertise your
business you must be a parishioner of St. Peter Church.
(An explanation of the Stained Glass of St. Peter, which is in memory of
Jan & Clara Poart and Victor Berchulski, Sr. This stained glass is located
over the entrance of the Church. This particular stained glass has been
chosen to be used as the logo for our 50th Jubilee Celebration. The third
part of the explanation is of the boat, which is on the left hand side of the
stained glass.)

The Vision of the Two Columns
On May 30, 1862 , Saint Don Bosco recounted that in a dream he
had seen an immense sea on which a great many ships were
arranged for battle against a larger and taller ship. He also saw
others which were defending the tall ship. Here are his words: "In
the midst of this endless sea, two solid columns, a short distance
apart, soar high into the sky. One is surmounted by a statue of the
Immaculate Virgin, at whose feet a large inscriptions reads:"
'Auxilium Christianorum' ('Help of Christians'). The other, far
loftier and sturdier, supports a Host of proportionate size, and
bears beneath it the inscription: 'Salus credentium' ('Salvation of
believers'). "The flagship commander - the Roman Pontiffstanding at the helm, strains every muscle to steer his ship between
the two columns, from whose summits hang many anchors and
strong hooks linked to chains. The entire enemy fleet closes in to
intercept and sink the flagship at all costs. They bombard it with
everything they have: books and pamphlets, incendiary bombs,
firearms, cannons. The battle rages ever more furious. Beaked
prows ram the flagship again and again, but to no avail, as,
unscathed and undaunted, it keeps on it course. At times, a
formidable ram splinters a gaping hole in its hull, but immediately,
a breeze from the two columns instantly seals the gash.
"Meanwhile, enemy cannons blow up; firearms and beaks fall to
pieces; ships crack up and sink to the bottom. In blind fury, the
enemy takes to hand-to-hand combat, cursing and blaspheming.
Suddenly the Pope falls, seriously wounded. He is instantly helped
up, but struck a second time, dies. A shout of victory rises from the
enemy, and wild rejoicing seeps their ships. But no sooner is the
Pope dead than another takes his place. The captains of the
auxiliary ships elected him so quickly that the news of the Pope's
death coincides with that of his successor's election. The enemy's
self-assurance wanes. "Breaking through all resistance, the new
Pope steers his ship safely between the two columns; first, to the
one surmounted by the Host, and then the other, topped by the
statue of the Virgin. At this point, something unexpected happens.
The enemy ships panic and disperse, colliding with and scuttling
each other. "Some auxiliary ships, which had gallantly fought
alongside their flagship, are the first to tie up at the two columns.
Many others, which had fearfully kept far away from the fight,
stand still, cautiously waiting until the wrecked enemy ships
vanish under the waves. Then they too head for the two columns,
tie up at the swinging hooks and ride safe and tranquil beside their
flagship. A great calm now covers the sea." Saint John Bosco
explained that the Church will endure grave trials and
persecutions. The Church's enemies will try their utmost to destroy
Her. But two things will preserve the Church in that hour: Saint
Anselm said that the Bark of the Church may be swept by the
waves, but it can never sink, because Christ is there. When the
Church is in greatest need, Christ comes to its help by miracles, or
by raising up saintly men to strengthen and purify it. It is the Bark
of Peter; when the storm threatens to sink it, the Lord awakens
from His sleep, and commands the winds and waters into calm:
“Peace; be still!”
