FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN

ORDINARY TIME

JULY 12, 2020

How appropriate that in the middle of summer we hear readings from scripture

that speak of the fruitful earth. Looking around outside we likely see a caval-

cade of green. Trees and grass, plants and flowers are nourished by the summer

rain and sun. When we gather together here on Sunday our faith is nourished

by the Lord through word and sacrament. Let us pray that we may be rich soil

for the word of God to take root, bloom, and thrive across the earth.

HOLY HOUR & BENEDICTION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

The World needs our Communal Prayers—Join us on Wednesday Evening July 15 at 7 PM

Benediction is a great blessing for souls and for the honor of Jesus Christ who is Truly Present, Body,

Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

This liturgy began in the 14th century, exposing the Blessed Sacrament for reverence and adoration.

By the 16th century, blessing with the Sacred Host was added. We are all invited to share in this

2020 Partners in Charity Appeal

We have reached about

65% of our Parish Goal

Once a year, we commit ourselves to this

ongoing work by supporting this life-giving

appeal. We reflect on God’s great generosity and respond with generous

giving of our own. With your support, faith in action is visible every day

in the compassionate outreach of Catholic Charities, to the least among

us; in prayerful witness of our retired priest and the joy of new priestly

vocations; to the many diocesan ministries and programs that heal, teach

and care for others.

It is important for all of us to participate in order to support our mission

as a diocese. Please be as generous as possible. If you have already

made a gift to the 2020 appeal we thank you! Your gift will help us in

reaching our parish goal.

Please make your gift online at: www.partners-charity.net You may

also mail in your donation to us:

This weekend & next, 13 students in

our 2nd Grade Faith Formation

Program will receive the Sacrament of

the Eucharist for the first time. Please

keep them in your prayers as they take

these final steps toward receiving the

Blessed Sacrament. May God Bless

them all!!
