GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE
Loving isn't too difficult, right? Many of us are surrounded by kind, lovely people trying to do the right thing. Indeed, to "love ? your neighbor as yourself" seems like it should be easy enough. Treat people like you would like to be treated. Bring the new neighbors some baked goods (normal and gluten-free, just in case). Chat with the bank teller about his holiday weekend. Write an occasional card to your sister "just be-cause." There were probably varieties of these acts of kind-ness in Jesus' day. Perhaps substituting figs for cookies. But "exchange pleasantries with the traveling cloth merchant" isn't the example Jesus gives. "A man fell victim to robbers... they stripped him and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead." The righteous pass by the scene of the dying man. The hero of the story is the one on the margins of Jewish society, who perhaps would not have been welcomed, in other circumstances, by the man now in the ditch. His neighborly love causes him to halt his journey, to tend wounds, and to pay for the man's care out of his own savings. Are we interruptible? Are we attentive to the hurts of others? Are we generous with our money and possessions? In the past few weeks, who has crossed your mind as some-one in need of help? Perhaps it's an acquaintance suffering from cancer. Maybe you were invited to donate or volunteer to a local social cause, but it just won't stick in your mind (or schedule) to make it happen. The needs of people are many and varied. We can't help everyone, but God does place opportunities in our path for compassion and courageous love. This week, be "the one who treated him with mercy."

Welcome to our new Pastoral Council Members effective July 1, 2019;
Jacqueline Beaudry, Nancy Kubacki, and Amy LaRoche.
We thank those who’s terms were fulfilled and have served this Parish for the last 2 years.
Please Note: There has been a number of parishioners who have received text message from someone impersonating Fr. Dan asking for help, money and/or gift cards. Please do not respond to these texts. Fr. Dan nor any Parish Staff member would ever use this means to solicit funds from any parishioner. Fr. Dan is in contact with and working with local law enforcement on this problem. If you receive a text or email message that is trying to solicit funds from you that is unknown to you, please contact the Summit Police Dept. Fr. Dan

Sharing the Gospel Jesus wants you to love your neighbors. He wants you to help your neighbors. You could help the people who live next door, or the people that go to your church. But Jesus wants you to
think bigger than that. Jesus wants you to help people all around the world - no mat-ter where they live, and no matter what they believe. Prayer Dear God, show me how to help others around the world.
Jesus said, “Amen I say to you, whatever you do for one of these least brothers of mine, you do for me.”
The Kettle Moraine Food Pantry needs your help. Reverse Giving collection baskets will be distributed at the masses next week-end. Each section of pews will have a different list of items the pantry needs. Please take one list and choose the item(s) you would like to donate on July 27/28. Please make sure expiration dates on items are current.
If you are out of town on collection weekend, you may bring your donations at your con-venience. All donations will get to the food pantry as they come in.
Thank you and God bless you.
Twenty-three people were called to serve our brothers and sisters in Paita, Peru during our June mission trip. Our volunteers could have served in the medical clinic, provided clean water systems, or taught at the school. Our medical outreach was a huge success. Over 700 people
were seen by our medical providers and 1,600 people were treated for intestinal parasites.
St. Paul Parish has been providing clean water systems since 2015. This year, 80 families were provided with new water systems. Twenty older systems needed replacement filters, and eight sets of replacement filters were provided for future failed sys-tems. A huge thanks to the par-ish for collecting donations during Lent so that 108 sets of water filters could provide pathogen-free water, prevent-ing people from getting
intestinal parasites. Self-defense was taught to over
120 high-school students at St. Clare School. This training is really important to the young women who are often victims of abuse, assault and rape.
