“PRIESTS’ SUMMER VACATIONS” Fr. Innocent: The month of July Fr. John: The month of August Fr. Aaron: The month of September.

After a wonderful pastoral year your three parish priests are looking forward to some down time for a little R&R. Sumer time is usually a time to catch up with reading, traveling, visiting friends and spending more time with family. It is our hope that each of you will have a similar opportunity to do something relaxing and enjoyable, whether away or nearby.

We are delighted to have Fr. Melchizedek with us during July and August to allow us vacation time. We look forward to a new pastoral year, which will begin soon after Labor Day. In the meantime, “Drive safely, school’s out!

THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE CHURCH TODAY! Bishop Barres, from the moment that he assumed his leadership as the Bishop of Rockville Centre, has called for “Dramatic Missionary Growth” throughout our Diocese. He recently spoke to the priests about the use of social media and some of the best tools in Catholic education and spiritual growth to assist us in this most important endeavor. Therefore, I want to share an incredible resource called FORMED with you. It is an on-line service for accessing thousands of Catholic videos, audios and eBooks. On Demand, anytime, anywhere! As a member you will have access to entertaining movies, inspiring audio talks, informative Bible studies, and much more. Also, once you have signed up, you can download the free iOS or Android app to put FORMED on your smart phone or tablet. To sign up for FREE, just visit this page: https://stjamesrcchurch.formed.org. You will then be asked to register by filling out your name and email address and creating a password. It’s easy! During his Pontificate, Pope St. John Paul II wrote it was now time for the Church to place all of her resources at the work of the New Evangelization. Pope Benedict wrote that the Church must propose the contents of her beliefs in a manner, which is both understandable and acceptable to the people of our time. Our present Holy Father, Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel,” offers us the following invitation. “I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day.” One of the best tools for this is FORMED. I invite you to register with FORMED. Browse its contents (movies, books, talks, etc.) and watch and read items of special interest to you. After Labor Day our parish staff will be offering a number of opportunities to grow in our faith together by using this extraordinary service. I hope that you will join me, and our parish staff, as we grow together in our faith and in our ability to give witness to Jesus.

Happy Independence Day

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with

certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty

and the pursuit of Happiness."

With this famous line in the Declaration of Independence,

which is so often quoted to show that we have the Right to…

(add your topic here), have we stopped to really considered

the words?

We, as people of this country believe that, created by God,

people, all people, are equal.

God gave us unalienable Rights, do you know what that

means? Unalienable Rights are more important than let’s say

the right to drive, they are the defining quality of what it

means to be a person. God gives us the right to survive, the

right to breathe, the right to live! God gives us the right to

justice, to be safe in our homes and on our streets, to be

treated fairly. God gives us the right to be happy, not in

material things or wealthy, which are great, but truly happy

in what we do and how we live.

When we look at these lines and the meaning behind them to

we stop to consider…Do we really treat our neighbor as our

equal? Do we acknowledge that everyone is our neighbor? Do

we cherish life? Do we treat others justly? Am I happy?

Question of the Week?

How do I honor God? How do I honor what my Country

stands for?

Thank you for your continued support of our

food pantry. Our current needs are:

White rice, unsweetened jello, corned beef hash,

pancake syrup, Sweet & Low, juice & drinks,

ketchup, mayonnaise, laundry detergent, dish

soap, cleaning products.

Thank you.

In today’s Gospel we see

how in faith, Jarius asked

Jesus to heal his daughter

and how Jesus then

answered his prayer. In

prayer we also come to know that we are loved

by God, and in that trust we ask for healing for

ourselves, our loved ones and all those who are

suffering.

Through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent

de Paul brought the love and healing of Jesus

to our suffering neighbors.

Please note that the Charismatic Prayer Group will break for the summer months of July and August.

We will return on September 10, 2018 in the Parish Center in room 114 from 7:30pm until 9:00pm.

Our group praises the Lord, prays Scripture and has a time of quiet reflection. We close the meeting with

Intercessory prayer. Won’t you consider joining us?
