Readings for July 17, 2016

Genesis 18:1-10

At the hottest, least hospitable time of day,

Abraham goes out from the comfort and cool of his

tent to offer rest and refreshment to travellers. In this

simple work he and Sarah have their lives

transformed, touched by God’s promise.

Colossians 1:24-28

In witnessing to the great mystery of God’s

love in the Gospel, Paul discovers that his very

bodily living, even in suffering, is a way of service

and love.

Luke 10:38-42

In the Gospel we meet Jesus in a familiar,

domestic setting, with familiar household chores and

tensions.

MEMORIAL FLOWER FUND 2016

In your envelope packet you will see a special

envelope for the Memorial Flower Fund. What is the

Flower Fund? It’s a fund that began many years ago

to remember our departed loved ones by providing

fresh flowers for the church each week.

In addition to the flowers, the Worship

Commission has decided to help

memorialize our dearly departed with a

banner displayed in the Gathering

Space. So when filling out your Flower

Fund envelope for July, be sure to write

the name of the person you would like

to remember. Their name will be on the

banner when it’s displayed in mid-

August.

Thanks to all parishioners who have given to the

Flower Fund in the past, as well as those who have

donated to help ensure we have fresh flowers for

Christmas and Easter. They really do help beautify

our church and enhance our liturgy!

SHOPPING CENTS

DID YOU KNOW THAT someone walked on the

newly painted and installed Parish Center floor?

Why? The repairs were made. We are waiting on the

costs for those repairs. The Parish Center is closed

and off limits till August 1. There will be a blessing

and tour for everyone to see the new floor in August.

More details to come. If you need something in the

Parish Center, please contact the Parish Office for

help.

DID YOU KNOW THAT parishioner, Maria

Dunlap, was awarded one of five Champions of

Mercy? Maria is the founder and executive director

of Vivian’s Victory. The organization is named for

her daughter Vivian, who lived 59 days. Vivian’s

Victory supports 100 parents of babies presented

with poor prenatal prognosis or a prolonged

diagnosis. Congratulations, Maria and thank you for

all you do.

DID YOU KNOW THAT the Parish Office will no

longer be collecting tuition for our students? The

school will now will collect tuition for all students.

We still will administer Help-A- Student funds.

DON’T FORGET THAT the Festival setup starts in

5 weeks! Please volunteer to help. The success of the

festival is dependent on people like you helping.

Thank you!

Major Retailers Want To Give Our School Money!

Shopping Cent$ is simply “substitute money” – in

other words, Shopping Cent$ is gift cards from

national and local retailers. They’re the same gift

certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular

retailers participate in our program including Meijer,

Wal-mart, Speedway, Skyline, Olive Garden, Lowe’s

and many, many others.

You’re probably asking yourself how these stores

help us raise money. It’s simple -- participating

retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our

organization at a discount. Parishioners and school

families buy the certificates for full face value, they

redeem them for full face value, and our school

keeps the difference as revenue.

The beauty of Shopping Cent$ is that you put your

regular household shopping dollars to work. You

earn money for our school without spending a single

additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping

dollars with Shopping Cent$ at the stores that

participate in the program! And Shopping Cent$ can

be used for just about any household purchase

including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and

even dining out.

We still need one more new face to join our team. It

only takes less than hour per month. We have 1

opening before/after 4:30 mass on 3rd Saturday of the

month. Please call the hotline (699-6960 ext. 240) if

you can help out!

JULY 3, 2016 COLLECTION REPORT

Shopping Cent$ is on sale every Thursday morning

starting at 9:00 a.m. at the Parish Office.

STEWARDSHIP FOR THE WEEK

“Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do

likewise.’” Luke 10:37

This was Jesus’ command at the end of the

Good Samaritan story. But did you know that

the Samaritans and Jews despised each

other. The moral of the story is to love our

neighbor, who may be someone you don’t

know, someone that looks different than you or

someone you don’t like, without expecting

anything in return.

This Week’s Festival Highlight

Volunteer Coordinator This subject cannot get enough attention. Each

year, as we get closer to the festival, we start getting

nervous that we don’t have enough volunteers. My

question is why? We have over 1,400 families

registered in the parish. Your parish needs you.

Remember the famous saying “Many hands make

light work”? Many hands are needed starting with

initial set-up on Saturday, August 13. We continue

to set-up each night, except Wednesday, until Friday

at 7:00 p.m. Although the festival closes at 12:00

a.m. on Friday and Saturday night, there is still help

needed to clean up and get ready for the next day.

Coming shortly will be an email from Jeana

Wiesman listing the volunteer opportunities.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact Michelle

Zerhusen in the Parish Office at 385-8010 ext. 103

with any questions or concerns you may have

regarding the festival.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be

served, but to serve, and to give his life as a

ransom for many.” Mark 10:45“

MUSICIAN’S NOTES BY DOUG SCHMUTTE

S ometimes the scriptures we hear on a given

Sunday are so familiar that, I suspect, we

say to ourselves, “I’ve heard this parable a

thousand times before.” And then we kind

of zone out until the end of the reading, but still sort

of listen in the background until the deacon gets to

the end of the reading. Perhaps that type of “zoning

out” happened to each of us today as we heard the

familiar story of the “Good Samaritan.” Possibly as

soon as we heard the words “A man fell victim to

robbers as he went from Jerusalem to Jericho,” we

thought, “The parable of the Good Samaritan…

again.” Or maybe if any of us have seen the musical

“Godspell,” we immediately began to recall how the

parable was acted out. But, by zoning out, we may

have missed a NEW way to hear this parable or gain

a new insight that we’ve not gleaned before.

I often quote my friend and liturgist Jerry

Galipeau. About this parable he writes, “The parable

of the Good Samaritan teaches us what it means to

be a Christian. We are called to respond with

merciful love to the needs of others.” He

continues “This includes ALL people, those whom

we love and those we find difficult to love. What

seems like a nice little story is actually quite a

radical call to love one another.” Given the events of

the past weeks and days of senseless violence not

only in our own country, but across the sea as well,

this parable definitely gives us food for thought.

Mr. Galipeau asks “If we were to ask the Lord this

very day the same question the scholar of the law

asked – ‘And who is my neighbor?’ – what do you

suppose the Lord’s

answer would be? Would

it be for us to love those

whose acts of violence we

cannot even begin to

understand?

“Ponder your answer

to this question and the

implications of naming

every single living and

breathing person on this

planet as your neighbor.

Who is your neighbor?”

Maybe today was a

day to have been especially attentive to the very

“radical” challenging words of Jesus. At Mass today

we sang the very familiar hymn which cuts to the

heart of what a Christian life is. It also challenges us

with the task at the heart of today’s Gospel. Once we

name our neighbor, can we sing these words about

“every single living breathing person on this

planet?”

Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you;

Pray that I may have the grace to let me be your servant too.

We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travelers on the road;

We are here to help each other walk the mile

and bear the load.

May the Lord help us this week as we continue

to live in a world fraught with senseless acts of

violence and hate and be able to find the strength to

call everyone, even those who perpetuate such acts,

as our neighbor.

Have a great week.

Week by Week Through the Year of Mercy

C ould anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in

mercy, the parable of the Good Samaritan? Je-

sus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant

sympathy for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-

ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for

priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned temple minis-

try, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-

on mercy. No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero.

Samaritans were religious apostates and political

enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek

God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a

fellow traveler’s self-inflicted misfortunes. See

God’s presence even in someone outside the law,

whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious

obligation but from the heart’s instinctive goodness.

Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite

our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our

mercy? “Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The

next person we see who needs hands-on mercy! No

conditions, no limits, no exceptions. Especially in

this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go

and do likewise” (10:37).
