On Sunday October 12, St. Francis Borgia Parish in Cedarburg, celebrated its patron saint’s Feast Day during the 10 A.M. Mass which was con-celebrated by Fr. Patrik Burns and Rev. Deogratias Fikiri, S.J. The Mass concluded with a procession of over 200 parishioners led by an Honor Guard of Knights of Columbus, the con-celebrants and Knights and parish men carrying the statue of our Jesuit patron saint, and the church choir. The procession ended in the parish hall, with a feast day communal meal hosted by the parish’s San Salvador Knights Council. The parish and the Knights are grateful for the gift of sweet potato pies from its sister parish St Rose of Lima in Milwaukee. All who attended were nourished both spiritually and physically.

Shortly after being ordained, Deacon Kevin Tanel joined the parish for daily masses at the South Church and weekend Masses at the North Church. Among preaching at daily and weekend Masses, he was involved with Totus Tuus and visits with parishioners. Deacon Kevin has served St. Francis Borgia in the past three years as a seminarian.

Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament and there are miracles to prove it. From February 7-9, San Salvador Council Knights of Columbus hosted the Vatican International Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit at St. Francis Borgia. Over 100 miracles were highlighted where Eucharistic hosts miraculously turned into visible flesh and blood. Hundreds of parishioners and others from the area came to see the display and were amazed and edified.

On April 11, Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Shane Johnson presided at the 10 a.m. Mass at the North Church, with Deacon Michael Malucha assisting. Since the beginning of Lent 2021, the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass has been celebrated ad orientem. This means that for parts of the Mass, the priest and the people face the same direction, symbolizing that the words during that time are spoken directly to God. When the priest turns toward the people, he is in dialogue with the people. Fr. Shane is a priest-son of St. Francis Borgia; he attended Mass at the historic stone church and graduated from the parish grade school. He was ordained in 2009 and since 2012 has served parishes in New York City. Fr. Shane’s parents are parishioners Alan and Cheri Johnson.
