DAYS AND TIMES FOR CHURCH SERVICES IN PEND OREILLE COUNTY

Our weekend Masses will be the same as usual and for weekday Masses, please refer to our website. St. Anthony’s will only have one door open and it will be the main entrance to the church opposite Father’s home.

It is possible that on entering this church, you may hear the Call of God.

On the other hand, it is not likely that He will contact you by phone.

Thank you for turning off your phone.

On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal

Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday.

The next year, a Spokane, Washington, woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official

equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for her

idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910.

PEND OREILLE COUNTY PARISHES

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE OFFICE Attention all parishioners! We would like to update our parish listing. If you haven’t done so already,

could you please provide us with your mailing address, physical address, phone numbers (both land line and cell) as well as your email address so we can contact you when the need arises.

Father Vic likes to have an address and phone number in case he needs to contact you. All information is confidential to our offices.

Nativity of St. John the Baptist Feast Day is Wednesday, June 24th —The principal sources of information concerning the life and ministry of St. John the Baptist are the

canonical Gospels. Of these St. Luke is the most complete, giving as he does the wonderful circumstances accompanying the birth of the Precursor and items on his ministry and death. St. Matthew’s Gospel stands in

close relation with that of St. Luke, as far as John’s public ministry is concerned, but contains nothing in reference to his early life. From St. Mark, whose account of the Precursor’s life is very meagre, no new detail

can be gathered. Now during the sixth month, the Annunciation had taken place, and, as Mary had heard from the angel the fact

of her cousin’s conceiving, she went “with haste” to congratulate her. “And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant”—filled, like the mother, with the Holy Ghost—”leaped for

joy in her womb”, as if to acknowledge the presence of his Lord. Then was accomplished the prophetic utterance of the angel that the child should “be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother’s womb”.

Now as the presence of any sin whatever is incompatible with the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in the soul, it follows that at this moment John was cleansed from the stain of original sin. When “Elizabeth’s full time of

being delivered was come, … she brought forth a son” (i, 57); and “on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father’s name Zachary. And his mother answering, said: Not so, but he

shall be called John. And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. And demanding a

writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered” (i, 59-63). They were not aware that no better name could be applied (John, Hebr.: Jehohanan, i.e. “Jahweh hath

mercy”) to him who, as his father prophesied, was to “go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways: to give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto remission of their sins:

through the bowels of the mercy of our God” (i, 76-78). Moreover, all these events, to wit, a child born to an aged couple, Zachary’s sudden dumbness, his equally sudden recovery of

speech, his astounding utterance might justly strike with wonderment the assembled neighbors; these could hardly help asking: “What an one, think ye, shall this child be?” (i, 66).

NEWPORT TO SPONSOR THE VIETNAM MOVING WALL

Bringing the Vietnam Moving Wall to Newport July 16-20 has been the work of many individuals and groups within the community and beyond. The half-size model of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. will be set up at the Newport Cemetery. Boy Scouts will also conduct a flag retirement ceremony that afternoon. During the visit, a Stand Down is scheduled on Saturday, July 18 from 8 a.m.to 2 p.m. at Newport High School. The Farmers Market (236 S. Union) will honor veterans on July 18, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. with gifts for veterans who come by. A special used book sale focusing on military fiction and non-fiction will be hosted by the Newport Friends of the Library at the Market on Saturdays July 4 and 18. Additionally the market will accept donations toward the cost of bringing the wall to Newport and honor veterans on Sat. July 4th. Questions about the Stand Down may be directed to Brad: 509-671-3585. Questions about the book or the market events call Becky 307-272-8922
