2. Family Life-There is a need to strengthen and support family life and em-power and assist parents to be the primary teachers of the Catholic faith.
3. Evangelization - We must create concrete plans for evangelization in, with, and through our parishes, schools, ecclesial movements and communities.
4. Leadership - There is a need to continually call, form, and support clergy, religious and laity in active leadership roles in the life of the Church.
5. Catechesis and Education - We must renew the ministry of faith formation throughout our diocese, leading each person to a deepening relationship with the Lord Jesus in and through His Church.

Health Tip From Our Parish Nurses: Ways to Avoid Heatstroke
August 23, 2015 - 6- Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Older adults are at increased risk of heat related illness, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke, which is a medical emergency. If you don’t have access to an air-conditioned environment or if you plan to be outdoors, take the following steps to prevent heat illness: • Drink enough - Increase your intake of cool,non-alcoholic beverages that aren’t too sugary. If your doctor has given you guidelines for fluid or salt intake, ask if those guidelines change in hot weather. • Cool down - Cold baths, cold showers orswimming can cool you down. Fans can be helpful to a point, but they aren’t effective when temperatures rise into the upper 90s. • Dress for the weather – Wearing excess or tightfitting clothing interferes with your body’s ability to cool itself. Protect yourself from the sun by sticking to the shade, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and using generous amounts of sunscreen. • Take it easy, particularly during the hottest partsof the day – Plan errands and activities for the morning or evening when it’s likely to be cooler. Take more frequent breaks in the shade or in air-conditioning. • Seek help- Signs and symptoms of heat illnessinclude fatigue, chilliness even though you’re hot, weakness, headache, dizziness, nausea and muscle cramps. If symptoms persist or get worse or if vomit-ing, confusion or agitation occurs, seek immediate medical help. Mayo Clinic Health Letter, Vol. 33, Number 8, Aug. 2015
