MINERAL POINT — I learned and participated in Praise and Worship Healing Services while a seminarian at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Mich.
The Praise and Worship Healing Services were offered on Friday nights as part of St. Paul Evangelization. The attendance at these events was a full room with some standing.
Why? People, from other faiths can participate in the service, many came to be prayed over, and through the power of the Holy Spirit be healed of physical, mental, and emotional situations.
Power of Holy Spirit
The power of the Holy Spirit in prayer healed many people at these services. The Holy Spirit works through the priest and/or the prayer teams in this ministry. Healings sometimes were on the spot, sometimes at a later date, and some not to be.
I witnessed the power of forgiveness between two people whom I know very well. The unforgiveness between the two lasted over a decade.

Remembering a priest of mercy
Not too long before his death, I received a hand-written letter from Msgr. Monte Robinson.
Even though he was dealing with serious health issues, he took the time to write to thank me — among other things — “for all the kind articles about the Southwest. They have gotten people to read.”
As the pastor of small, rural parishes in the southwest corner of the Diocese of Madison, Monsignor Monte had been making an effort to send in information and photos about what was happening in these parishes. We were happy to include them in the Catholic Herald.

MINERAL POINT — “It’s just a great joy to see these young people stepping forward and to see Catholic youth in action.”
Those are the words of Fr. Monte Robinson, the proud pastor of the Congregation of St. Mary/St. Paul Parish in Mineral Point and St. Philomena Parish in Belmont.
The two linked parishes have quite a blessing — a new generation of organists — all in their teens.
They are 17-year-old Caleb Mitchell in Mineral Point along with 14-year-old Kassandra Palzkill and 13-year-old Dominic Mailloux in Belmont.
“We’re very grateful that these young people are doing this, and they’re very accomplished for their age,” said Father Robinson. “I’m just very proud of every one of them.”
Meet the organists
Mitchell, the oldest of the three, has been playing organ every Sunday at St. Mary Church in Mineral Point since December of last year. He had been playing piano since he was seven years old and had an easy time transitioning to the organ.
“It’s pretty fun; I like leading people,” said Mitchell. When parishioners find out how young he is, Mitchell said, “A lot of people are amazed, but I try to do my best.” He added his favorite part of being a parish organist is accompanying the choir at Mass.
Fourteen-year-old Kassandra Palzkill has been playing organ for Masses the longest of the three — for the past two years at St. Philomena Parish in Belmont. She also made the transition from piano to organ.
