Knights of Columbus COVID-19 Food Drive
We want to thank all involved who put on the COVID-19 food drive.
We were very successful and brought in over 1,000 lbs.'
of food items and $200.00 Cash and a $25 gift card compliments of
Vincent’s Market for the local food pantries. Food pickup will be
planned for July 1st to the churches and food pantries.
14th Sunday of Ordinary Time
““For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Matthew
11:30) When we think of being good stewards, we may think
that God is asking too much of us when He calls us to
generously share our time, talent, and treasure. However, we
must remember that we are not “owners” of anything, we are
merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. All He is asking
is that we give back a small portion, in gratitude, of what He
has already given to us.
Congratulations to all the 1st Communion recipients who received
their first Eucharists at Mass June 20th.
Congratulations to all the Confirmation class who have been
confirmed into the church this last week. Welcome to the church life
and remember, this is only the beginning! Now is the time to join the
church in a real way. Now is the time to explore the bible and learn
some depth. May the Holy Spirit guide you!
Reflection from Deacon Rich
Jesus tells us to “come to him if
we labor and are burdened and
he will give us rest.” Now I
think we would all agree that
these are very consoling words.
But really how many of us have
really ever done this?
First of all we all have to agree
that in life we labor and are
burdened. I think our Lord is
referring here to when things are getting more difficult than
usual. Sure we have to work every day. But I think He is
especially referring to the times when the work or the burdens
get bigger or harder than usual. And that can happen in so
many ways. And when that does happen, how often do we
think to take them to our Lord? Do we ever think to just take
and pour them out to our Lord in His presence?
He meant that we should take our burdens to Him, offer
them to Him, and talk to Him about them, asking for a
solution. And let me add in regard to this point that when we
talk to Him about them, we at times have to be quiet and just
reflect to see what kind of answer He might be suggesting to
us.
Most of the time we tend to take matters in our own hands.
If we have a problem or something that is burdening or
bothering us we immediately try to fix it. It seems our Lord
is suggesting that we first put it in His hands, that we first
entrust it to Him. Then wait and see what He is going to
suggest as to the possible solution. We might be surprised at
the different and possibly much better solution. But then we
so often can’t wait and want what we want right now.
Remember when Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive”, He
never added the word “immediately.”
Adoration Friday at 7:00 PM
Please come to Adoration the first
Friday of every month at 7:00 pm.
Spend some time in quiet prayer and
contemplation with our Lord and
Savior

Re-Ignite Partners in Charity Event! Due to the COVID-19 disruption, the diocese is re-igniting
the Partner’s in Charity drive this summer. Please
consider giving as the poorest are the ones who suffer
most. We have only achieved 70% of our goals this year.
