FROM OUR PASTOR

     On Sunday, August 1, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of ordination as a priest. I have been thinking about those past years and have been full of gratitude for this great privilege of being called to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. It has also made me think of an encounter I had with Fr. Gus Bernard in 1978 at St. Joseph's Parish in Springfield, OH. At that time Fr. Bernard was the oldest living priest of the Archdiocese. He entered Mt. St. Mary's Seminary in 1904 when that seminary was still in Price Hill. At the beginning of his first year in the seminary he met Archbishop Elder, who was to die on October 31, of that year. That fact alone made me want to meet him as I believe Archbishop Elder is a saint and I wanted to hear from a man who actually met him. Fr. Bernard told me along with then seminarian Mark Burger about his meeting with that saintly Archbishop and about his own years of serving the Lord and His Church. At the end he concluded: "Pray I don't defect, brothers, pray I don't defect!" That is my prayer and plea as well!

LEADERSHIP NIGHT is on Monday, August 30, 7:30-9:30 pm. The elected members of the Parish Council, Education Commission and Worship Commission, as well as the appointed members of the Finance Council, are expected to attend. Also, I expect all the volunteer organizations of the Parish (those listed on the front cover of the bulletin) to send their officers to this meeting. Leisa Anslinger will be our presenter for the next step on “Growing An Engaged Church”. I look forward to seeing all of you there.

A MODEL OF THE ROSARY MEMORIAL GARDEN is on display in the greeting room along with the brochures and order forms. Praying the Rosary in our forth-coming Rosary Memorial Garden will be a wonderful way to remember our beloved dead.

Please take the Traveling Chalice into your home for one week as a reminder to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Call Debbie at 922-2414. Thank you to Mark & Janene Cappel Family who took the Traveling Chalice into their home.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

  In the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable about the rich man who selfishly stores all his grain and goods only to die and not enjoy his abundance anyway.  What we struggle all our lives to learn is that life does not consist of possessions or our perceived security, but of being possessed by God.

  This week, as you give your gift to the Society of

St. Vincent de Paul to help the struggling poor, ask for the grace to be truly “possessed by God.”

 This is the final weekend of the Christmas in July collection of food and household/Personal items for the Holy Family Food Pantry.  Thanks to all who have made this activity a success.
