HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all fathers and grandfathers of our parish. A father is a man who loves without cost to his children and tries to raise them to be fully human creatures with the abilities to make a difference in our world. Some fathers are successful, some are not. However, almost all try their best. This Father's Day, let your dad know that you appreciate all his efforts. Strength--Your strength in helping me to tell right from wrong was a great gift. Honor--You taught me that to honor myself was a way to honor the God who

made me. Faith--Thanks Dad for having faith in me, when I was not sure I had faith in myself. Love--You loved me even when I did not love myself. For that I am grateful. ©Liturgical Publications Inc

PASTORAL SHARINGS

This Summer we are taking middle school kids to Adventure Camp near Drummond, WI and high school kids to Camp Covecrest in Georgia. Over the years I have enjoyed trying to provide opportunities for kids to grow in our faith. I really like going to a Catholic camp because it gives kids a chance to detach a little bit from everything going on and focus on our faith.

The camps do a great job of communicating our faith in a way that makes sense to kids. Plus they get to see the counselors who are collage age living their faith and that is invaluable. There are young religious sisters who help at the camps and the kids always really like them. Sr. Mary David has been at Adventure Camp every year I’ve been there the last seven years. The two camps also provide opportunities for the kids to have fun like kayaking at Adventure Camp and white-water rafting in Georgia and many other fun activities. A special thank you is in order for Lynn Barr from St. Agnes and Linda Buss for organizing the two trips. A lot of work goes into it. Also I would like to thank our parishioners for helping to make this happen. Adventure Camp is $600 per kid and Camp Covecrest is $800 per kid including bussing. The bus to Georgia is expensive. We charge the families $100 per kid and the church pays for the difference. The reason for this is I want as many kids as possible to attend and I don’t want money to be a factor. Thanks again and I look forward to a great Summer of camps. Please keep our kids, chaperones, and myself in your prayers. Especially pray that our kids keep growing in their faith and their relationship with God. Blessings, Fr. Greg

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER: “Joshua, Judges and Ruth” Bible Study! All are welcome to participate! Drop-ins, too!

In the lessons on Joshua we will learn:

· How the crossing of the Red Sea prefigures an essential Sacrament · What “typology means and how it synthesizes the Old and New

Testaments · That we were slaves, just like the Israelites, until a new Joshua came to

sever our chains In the lessons on Judges we will learn:

· How the trials God sends us are always trials of love

· Why the Israelites’ depressing cycle of sin and suffering is familiar and

relevant for us

· How the Book of Judges is a masterful blend of history and poetry

In the lessons on Ruth we will learn: · How Boaz and Ruth found each other through kindness and selflessness

· Why prudence and patience always bring us closer to God

· That trusting in God through confusion and pain is a guarantor of

happiness This is a 28-week study to be held every Monday evening, beginning September 10 from 6:30-8PM in the Parish Center Resource Room. The cost of the Student Workbook is $40.00 (Yes, there is homework!) or you may just come to view the DVD’s and join in the discussions at no cost. Make checks payable to St. Florian Parish. Please return to the Parish Office by Tues., July 31. Anyone wanting to purchase the workbook after July 31 will be responsible for their own ordering. Any questions?
