Habitat Build!While we have had a very sad few weeks

in the parish, I am excited to tell you that

there are good things happening, also.

Our Habitat coali�on of churches

(Harvest Home) was approached by a

Lutheran charitable group called Thrivent

with an offer to make a significant contribu�on to our next

house. With the funds that we had on hand from our

UNO’s days, pie sales and other fundraisers, this offer gives

us the funds to pay for a new house build this year! We

expect to break ground on our next house some�me in late

July. We will need your support to help us work on building

this house during August and the fall months. This is a

chance to support those in need in our community as Pope

Francis regularly calls us to do.!

Our house will be built on a lot at 179�185 Whitney St. This

is in the same city neighborhood as the last house that we

built. Habitat has built a number of homes in this neighbor-

hood, called the Josana Neighborhood, which is located be-

tween Lyell Ave and Jay St. !

It was a great experience for me to work on the last house,

even though I am not highly skilled with my hands. You will

likely come home very �red a6er a day’s work there, but

you will be very sa�sfied that you helped someone experi-

ence the joy of owning their own home. Studies have

found that children who live in their own home perform

be8er in school, and parents who par�cipate in building

their own home, which is required by Habitat, are much

more likely to care for it and become good neighbors. Habi-

tat also provides training to prospec�ve homeowners to

help them learn to manage their finances so that they can

pay their mortgage to Habitat.!

The property consists of two plots of land that have been

combined, and there will be a garden�like corner as a me-

morial to Tyshaun Lamar Cauldwell, who died this spring.

The Homebuyer is a single woman, Mary Su8on, 57, who

works for Ac�on for A Be8er Community. Mary had at one

�me received services from ABC and now works in their

Program for troubled kids. !

I hope to schedule at least two parish workdays on week-

ends in August and September. Habitat has an online sig-

nup, so that anyone over 18 can sign themselves up to work

on any house under construc�on at any �me. I encourage

you to do this. However, I plan to arrange days when we as

a parish can work together on the house. Watch the bulle-

�n for more informa�on. No construcon experience is

required, just your energy and goodwill. !

Thank you for all that you do for the parish!!!!

Deacon Bob Lyons!

Dear Parish Community,!

A�er a mee�ng on Monday with Bishop Matano, Father Eloo and myself, I have been asked and agreed to serve as the Interim Pastoral

Administrator at St. Marianne Cope parish. The Bishop makes this assignment “with genuine concern for the parochial, diocesan and

clergy needs of our Diocese.”!

It is with great humility that I accept this assignment with the intent to serve in this role for one year. I have come to love my pastoral

work with this Parish community over this past year and I look forward to con�nuing with you in this new role. Barb leaves very large

shoes to fill but with her legacy, God’s help and your support both in prayer and ministry I have every confidence that we will con�nue

to move forward.!

God bless us all on the journey,!

Sister Sheila Stevenson, RSM!

ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE!

Today's Gospel offers a rare framework

�� a story in a story. Most of the healing

miracles are standalone encounters.

One person approaches Jesus, demon-

strates faith, and is healed. The evan-

gelist tells the next story. This Gospel, however, is differ-

ent. Jesus is on his way to heal one person, a young girl of

twelve, and is interrupted on his journey by "a woman

afflicted with hemorrhages." She bravely approaches Jesus

in a crowd, despite being ritually unclean from her bleed-

ing, and stretches out to touch his cloak. She is healed!

Jesus meets her eye, confirms her faith, and con�nues on

to resurrect the young girl. !

Reading this passage, it might be easier

to iden�fy with one story �� the long�

suffering woman or the young, inno-

cent girl �� and to move past the other.

But here they sit side by side. The girl

is twelve. The woman has been suffering for twelve years.

For the Gospel writers, number parallels have deep sym-

bolic meaning.!

Between the woman and the young girl, we are not one or

the other. We are both. None of us had a perfect child-

hood, perfect families, or a perfect peer group. As we en-

dure pain, disappointment, or unmet expecta�ons, it can

feel like a part of our childhood hopes have died. Our cop-

ing mechanisms, social adapta�ons, and hidden secrets can

make us the "walking wounded" in some respects. Jesus

wants to do more than simply staunch the bleeding. His

healing hand makes dead things come alive. He awakens

the dreams that are asleep. This process requires prayer,

conversa�ons with trusted community and spiritual men-

tors, and cri�cal looks at difficult areas of our life. Howev-

er, we can believe the words of our Lord. If we approach

Jesus in faith, believing that he wants to heal and save, we,

too, will hear his calming words spoken over the hurts of

our life. "I say to you, arise!" Go in peace. !
