Fuel for the fire....
In today's church bulletin, there was a small article about the Kreislers, a Navy family that moved here to CT about 8 years ago. The article reflected on everything that the Kreislers have done for the church and school community over the past eight years, and wished them "A Fond, but Sad Farewell."
My family has been at that church for years ranging between five and thirty-nine. My younger brother Michael started going to Church regularly about five years ago, when he was six. My mom has been going to Sacred Heart for thirty-nine years. Myself, I've been going for 15 years; my entire life.
Nowhere did it mention that my father isn't getting his job back. Nowhere did it mention that my mom was being asked not to be a part of the youth group anymore; that we were being disbanded. There was an article in the bulletin stating that the youth group was not meeting in the summer, and that they would resume in the fall. It did not mention that we were being forced to disband. The way they wrote it made it appear as if we were taking the summer off.
WE'RE NOT! WE'RE BEING SHUT DOWN! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!
*ahem*
That article about the Kreislers was what finally got me taking steps about the situation. In a sort of mock copy of the article (entitled "Oh, the Irony.") I'm outlining everything that my family has done for the Church ever since we came to be a family.
I'm also emphasizing how my parents were not bidden a "Fond, but Sad Farewell," rather they were pretty much asked to leave the community the hell alone. >:I
Just about everything they wrote about the Kreislers, I'm going to outdo. Then I'm going to bring in the negative stuff and turn it right back at them. The Kreislers were thanked for their eight years of Mass attendance and community service. What about my mom's thirty-nine? Or my brother's twenty? Things like that will be brought up.
I don't know yet who I will present this to, or even whether I'm going to distribute it to the parishioners, or to Father Greg. Maybe just to close friends and family. We'll just have to see.
Ergh...I don't like what's happened and what is still happening.
I'm getting back to work.
NOTE: I have nothing against the Kreislers; they're great people. I just don't like that fact that they got recognition and thanks for service, while my family got nothing but a kick in the ass.
