Yesterday, we gathered at the same church where our friend and mentor, Fr. Don Pantle was baptized, received first communion, was confirmed, said his first mass as a newly ordained priest and this weekend was laid to rest.
He touched the lives of thousands of students at the University of Scranton over some 30 years through his unique ministry of food, cards and Eucharist which was brilliant, was Jesuit, and was incarnational.
A few years ago Don asked that I would preach the homily at his funeral and was honored and humbled to have fulfilled my commitment to him. So take a few minutes and listen to why I feel Don made such a difference – and still does – in so many lives.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
saying, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast, feast on your life.
13. Fields of new green grasses weaving in gentle winds,
With nesting Bobolinks in the quiet.
The sound of a brook washing over rocks,
And the song of all the coyotes surrounding you up
the hill.
Music in the house you built yourself for your family.
Music in the church; quiet prayer and meditation in
the church;
Your own words of reflection each week;
Laughter and good food at countless potlucks and
parties;
Times at the Pizza Oven!
All the people for whom you gave counsel
Or performed weddings and memorials.
The difference you made to young people here.
The greetings each morning as you walk into town.
Welcoming hugs on Sunday.
Remember all this and remember us
As we send you with blessings on the journey into
the next chapter of your life
19. The organ constructed by the Hutchings, Plaisted
& Co. highly recongnized by the Organ Historical
Society as “The Thayer Organ,” was built in 1875
for the studio of colorful Boston organist Eugene
Thayer. It was restored in 1969 by Robert Newton
of Andover Organ Company of Methuen,
Massachusetts, and by A. D. Moore, Inc. in 2007.
It was brought via the Woodstock Railroad in1881
to the present building through the influence of
Woodstock-born Samuel Whitney, notable Boston
organist and composer at the Church of the
Advent. It was recorded in 1959 by E. Power Biggs
who debuted “Variations on America” by
Charles Ives.
Known by its bright yet full sound, it can render a
broad range of music with dramatic effect despite
its modest size of little more than 900 pipes. This
organ is to America as a Gottfried Silbermann
organ is to Germany!

23. Requiem by Nancy Martin
It’s gone. Gone to a pauper’s grave
We met the truck coming out
Burdened with the giant truck.
The splendid body dismembered,
Fettered to the truck bed.
What had you done to deserve a death like that?
Had you not sheltered the small birds,
Harbored a menu of grubs
Made a pathway to the sky
For free spirited porcupines?
And how about the famous branch?
(We could not bear to watch them cut it off.
We fled, the sound of the chain saw tearing At our hearts,
And when we came back you were gone).
The bench where generations of children
Had learned not to be afraid
Had learned how to run down the slope
Grab the swing and leap off into space,
The branch polished smooth by chaffing rope is gone . . .
So many memories are printed with that swing
Small children, big children, babies on daddies’ legs,
Unborn babies, parents hugging tiny ones.
To make a place for weightlessness
A place to smell lilac blooms,
A place to be quiet,
A place to sing,
A place to think,
A place to feel the wind in your hair
A place to come back to
And now you are gone
Requiem, Requiem, Aeternam

25. Grief’s Work
by Nancy Martin
Receive the Sorrow
Grind it in.
And let the tears
When they begin,
Flow from wells
Too deep to know;
And in their flowing
Let them show
The distance you have
Yet to go.
Accept the loss,
Let it grow
Force yourself
To face it. So
Feel the pain,
Absorb the ache,
Learn from the sadness
How to make
A new-felt strength
No grief can shake.
Acknowledge anger
Feel it burn,
Name the hurt
And from it learn
To share the grief
And in the sharing
Find relief
Through other’ s calling
No loss will be
Beyond our bearing

group of six local dancers to prepare for
a special June 23 service, which will
integrate three dances into a worship
service, led by Rev. Daniel Jantos,

choreography will include Signs from
Earth, (based on a sign language
interpretation of an ancient Buddhist
prayer,) Simple Gifts – a Shaker dance

Wondrous Love, a joyful dance inspired
by the images of saints, carved on the
portals of Gothic cathedrals

Moving Spirit Vermont Dancers at NUCS with guest
speaker Robert Hanson, long time sixth grade teacher

interwoven throughout. The service will open with a
joyful new dance to music by Handel, with the five
dancers carrying candles down the aisles to bring light
into the sanctuary. The second dance plays homage to
the brutal force of winter set to Sting”s evocative song
“Cold Song.” The concluding dance of celebration,
“River Hymn,” is set to recorded music by noted
Vermont composer cellist Eugene Friessen. Moving
Spirit –Vermont is an ensemble of five dancers directed
and choreographed by Peggy Brightman; they have
presented special dance services with original new
choreography on five different occasions. The dancers

Anyone who assumes teenage girls would
rather spend their time taking selfies than
helping others hasn’t met Alexandra
McFarland and Anne Ramsey. In 2011, as ninth
graders, Finn and Anna volunteered to deliver
produce to Woodstock”s local food pantry
through the non-profit Change the World Kids.
While there they noticed the pantry did not
have any fresh veggies. In tenth grade they hit
on the idea of a root cellar.
