Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

August 16, 2015 Unless you eat the flesh of the

Son of Man and drink his blood,

you do not have life within you.

— John 6:53

AT THE TABLE In today’s first reading, Wisdom is imagined as a woman

rich in poise and grace. She moves smoothly and confi-

dently about her temple‑like home. She doesn’t flutter

about, nervous with worry. Wisdom sends her maidens to

invite all to her open house. The guests do not possess any

particular genius or insight. They need only be a people of

good will and common sense. They are summoned to

leave behind foolishness and to find for themselves a

place at Wisdom’s table. There they may and can eat and

drink deeply. Today’s Gospel draws us back to the table

of the Eucharist. Jesus addresses those who seek to under-

stand his words and, sadly, those who seek to avoid them.

As people born of God, we are called and equipped to

seek God’s will and act on it. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CYO NEWS-AUGUST

A New Fundraiser

We are, as every parish, always in need of money to con-

tinue the work of proclaiming the Gospel and in meeting

the many demands of charity. We have instituted a new

program that will be a simple fundraiser that all of you

with computers can help with and which is as easy as

pie. Goodsearch.com has provided over $ 11 million to

various charities since its inception. Every time you

search for something like the location of a store or the

name of an actor, a penny will be credited to the parish.

Simply go to goodsearch.com and click on “Find a cause

to support” and enter St Vincent and scroll down to find

St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church Akron, Ohio. You

may then sign in (not absolutely necessary) and when-

ever you search you’ll be automatically contributing to

our parish. You will also find coupons available for other

online shopping (called GoodShop) which will also con-

tribute. We are now signed up here at St. Vincent. I

can’t think of a time when I haven’t found what I’m

looking for. It works, please consider it.

Thanks,

Fr. Dennis McNeil

KABALE DIOCESE MISSION APPEAL We welcome Fr. Julius Turyatoranwa who will be speak-

ing on behalf of the Kabale Mission Appeal. Kabale Dio-

cese is one of the 19 dioceses of Uganda, situated in the

rural extreme southwestern corner of the country-about

280 miles from the capital city (Kampala). The diocese

borders Rwanda on the South West and the Democratic

Republic of Congo on the western side and serves a popu-

lation of 1,500,000 people, of whom approximately

700,000 are Roman Catholic. We are seeking assistance

for our long-term Kabale Diocese Orphaned and Vulner-

able Children Program. Through our foster home care

program, we provide out-reach support to orphaned chil-

dren the vast majority of whom have lost both parents and

are left all alone to fend for themselves. We provide them

with school tuition, clothing, and healthcare. We are cur-

rently supporting 370 children out of well over 20,000

greatly in need of help. We are also in need of support

toward Rushoroza Health Center which Kabale Diocese is

in the process of constructing. This health center will

serve a critical need because of its location in a rural area

that serves mostly the poor, and an area that continues to

grapple diseases such as malaria, typhoid, HIV/Aids, TB,

among others. These life-threatening diseases continue to

claim a lot of lives, given also that the area has a ratio of

one doctor/3000 people. Once completed, Rushoroza

Health Center will serve a population of about 700,000

people. We hope that you will give generously to this

Mission Appeal.

SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE The new school year is just around the corner! Ohio

Catholic Federal Credit Union is happy to announce a

school supply drive benefiting Metro Catholic School in

Cleveland. Stop by any one of Ohio Catholic's five branch

locations to drop off new school supplies any time during

the month of August. Students specifically need notebook

paper, folders, glue sticks, red pens, crayons, magic

markers, calculators, and protractors. Metro Catholic

School educates approximately 565 students from preschool

to 8th grade, and is the only Cleveland Catholic elementary

school to provide extensive programs for refugee students

and those with cognitive learning disabilities. Additionally,

80 percent of students come from families below the

Federal poverty level. For branch locations and hours,

please visit www.ohiocatholicfcu.com.

OZANAM CENTER NEEDS YOUR HELP Jesus said “I will be with you for only a short time but the

poor will always be with you.” We at the Ozanam Center

realized that 9 years ago when we started the Center to help

those who are in need with food, clothing and furniture.

Now at the beginning of our ninth year, we also realize that

we need your help. If you would like to help on a Saturday,

we would love to have you. Just come at 9:30am to 93 Kent

Street in Akron and we will put you to work. Not available

on Saturday? We could use some help sorting clothes and

filling the clothing room, re-arranging and organizing the

furniture bank, some office stuff and of course cleaning the

facility during the week. Also, if you have a truck and

would like to pick up our orders at the Akron Canton

Regional Food Bank, we would love to have you. You

don’t have to be a St. Vincent de Paul member to help.

Please pray about this and let us know if you can help.

2015 FIRST STEP PROGRAMS CONTINUING EDUCATION REGARDING

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE IN THE CATHOLIC

CHURCH

Attempting to pick up the pieces of one’s life after the

tragedy of divorce is complex and demanding. One of the

significant issues that a person faces is their place in the

Church. Does the Church still care about me even though I

am divorced? Am I allowed to go to Mass? Can I receive

communion? How can the Church help me heal? If I decide

to marry again, what do I have to do? The Tribunal of the

Diocese of Cleveland is continuing to offer its very

successful First Step Program, in order to help individuals

deal with these questions. The Church’s teachings on

marriage, divorce, and remarriage are often misunderstood.

This program is offered to help everyone; especially those

who have experienced divorce, learn more about Catholic

teaching in these areas.

Everyone is welcome to:

• Deepen their knowledge of the Church’s teaching on

marriage.

• Learn about the Church’s ministry to the divorced/

separated in the Diocese.

• Hear the true facts about the annulment process and how

to submit a case.

• Discover a path to healing after divorce. The remaining

schedule for the general meetings in 2015 is:

• Tuesday, September 15th, at Immaculate Heart of Mary

Parish, Cuyahoga Falls, at 7 p.m.

• Tuesday, October 13th, at St. Ambrose Parish, Brunswick,

at 7 p.m.

We encourage everyone to come to heal, come to learn,

come open to the spirit. Note: The Diocese of Cleveland no

longer requires any fees for this process. For more

i n f o r m a t i o n , g o t o t h e w e b s i t e :

www.dioceseofcleveland.org/tribunal; or call the tribunal at

216-696-6525/800-869-6525, ext. 4000.

COMPANIONS ON A JOURNEY Grief is a normal and natural reaction upon death of a

loved one. It can begin a journey that we did not choose to

take but, when shared with others, can often help us heal

and grow. St. Hilary’s Parish, 2750 West Market Street,

along with Ciriello & Carr funeral Homes, are happy to

offer the “Companions on a Journey: Support during Grief

and Loss” series. It will be held on Thursdays at 6:30pm-

the past year, the 300 Club donated $3,500 to the Fr.

Corrigan Tuition Assistance Fund and $500 to the St.

Vincent de Paul food pantry We also purchased a new

vacuum for the church, hosted a pizza party after the

church cleaning, provided fresh flowers for the altar

each week and hams for funeral luncheons, We thank all

of our members for their generous support. Your captain

will be contacting you in the next few weeks for the new

year, which starts in August. You do not have to be a

member of the parish to join. WE HAVE MANY

OPEN NUMBERS IN THE 300 CLUB THIS YEAR.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FILL THEM!! Please

call Marilyn McCafferty at 330-836-3924 for your lucky

“Irish” number and all the details.

FAITH AND VALUES APPEAL FOR EDUCATION Catholic Schools are communities of faith, knowledge and

service. Catholic Schools exist to form young people in the

Catholic faith. Academic success and rigorous achievement

mark our schools as outstanding institutions. Essential to

the Christian message is the command of Christ to serve

others. Our students are at their best when they exemplify

in their actions this command, and they do so daily.

Students, their parents, grandparents and other family

members sacrifice to provide a Catholic education and are

grateful for tuition assistance provided through the Faith &

Value Appeal for Education. Please pray that the

generosity of our parishioners will continue to support the

formation of our youth in Catholic Schools as they are

taught to be the very best that they can be.

and those whose opinions we reject. For both have labored

in the search for truth, and both have helped us in the

finding of it. —Thomas Aquinas
