FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Today we welcome Deacon Mike Edwards, a representative of Passionist Overseas Missions. His visit to our parish is in conjunction with our participation in the Annual Mission Cooperative Program for the Diocese of Covington.
Passionist Missionaries have served in mission territories throughout the world for many years. Today Passionist priests and brothers are ministering to people in Haiti, the Caribbean, Africa, Jamaica, West Indies, Honduras and the Philippines.
Most Missions offer a four-fold program of education, health, economic development and communication organization to the people they serve. They work to break the cycle of poverty, illness and educational deprivation and substitute a willingness to learn and progress. You can assist them in the endeavors.
Kindly give your attention to Deacon Edwards’ important appeal and please be generous as your circumstances allow when the second collection is take at Mass today.
To help understand the New Revised Roman Missal and so that we will be able to participate at Mass when the new translation is ready for use, we will sponsor an education series. Each of the following topics will be presented after Mass. Each of the eight sessions will include a ten to fifteen minutes oral presentation and time for Questions and Answers.
July 31, Aug 1 The Eucharistic Prayer
Aug. 7, 8 The Mystery of Faith
Aug. 14, 15 The Communion and Concluding Rites
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults begins in September. The RCIA provides an opportunity to learn What Catholics believe and what it means to be Catholic. Unbaptized adults have the opportunity to be baptized. Those already baptized have the opportunity to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church. Also adult Catholics are invited to attend to learn more about their faith.
We offer our sympathy and prayers to the family of James OConnell whose funeral liturgy will be held on Monday at 11 am. May he rest in peace.

The United States Catholic Conference of Bishops has designated July 25 - 31, 2010 as National Natural Family Planning Awareness Week.
NFP Awareness Week is an annual national educational campaign that focuses attention on NFP methods and Church teachings which support their use in marriage.
The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. This year's theme is "TRUST - God has a Plan for Your Marriage
Since 2009 our diocese has required engaged couples to participate in NFP training as part of their marriage preparation. These couples, whether they realize it or not, are blessed to have been given the opportunity to learn this method of following God's plan for life and love in marriage.
However, the beauty and wisdom of Catholic teaching in this area still needs to be shared with the wider Catholic community! Help spread the good news about God's plan for marriage and family life!

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
We welcome Allan Frederick to our parish. He arrived last Tuesday and will be spending some of the summer with us. Allan is discerning a call to priesthood for the Diocese of Covington. We wish him well and pray that God will provide guidance during his discernment.
What if God does care about what I wear to church? If the answer to the question is “Yes” it is important that for us to ask: Have we become too casual about our attire and attendance at Mass? Perhaps we think “it doesn’t matter.” The truth is that it does matter! “Sunday best” seems to have lost its meaning. Perhaps if we saw our attire and attendance at Mass as giving back to God, we might see that “dressing up” is the least we can do for God. Dressing up is also a nonverbal way of showing our children that our church is an important place. The church is God’s house. And Mass is an important event for we do this in memory of Jesus who died for me.
To help understand the New Revised Roman Missal and so that we will be able to participate at Mass when the new translation is ready for use, we will sponsor an education series.

Forming Good Stewards: The seventy two disciples, that Jesus sent in thirty six directions were amazed at their success. Did they really have faith in Jesus as they left on their mission? We can almost hear them grumbling, “He is sending us like lambs among wolves with no money, no provisions, no sandals, and we cannot even greet people on the way. Does he expect us to work miracles?”
But off they went. And they performed miracles. Despite their doubts, they had faith in Jesus and they were able to do great things because of their faith. When we feel called to step out in faith to imitate Jesus in our world, do we have doubts? Do we fail to act because of our doubts? Or do we act, despite our doubts, amazed at what we can accomplish when we have faith in Jesus? As a result of our Baptism it is our responsibility to nurture our faith in Jesus so we can constantly be amazed at what we can accomplish in His name.
