Dear Friends,

It is hard to believe that August is already here! By the time you are reading this newsletter, I am in

Poland. I will return to Detroit on August 2. I will share some pictures of the trip in the newsletter

next month.

Just as in July, there are not many things happening at St. John’s Deaf Center or Our Lady of

Loretto’s this month. However, we will have a picnic on August 27 in Northville. We will have Mass

at the picnic at 4PM.

There is a deaf family who moved to Detroit from Iraq several months ago because of many

problems in their home country. At their new home, they lack many things. If you have a dresser,

headboard for a twin size bed, or other furniture in your basement but you have not used them for a

while, then can you kindly donate them to this family? Doing this is one of good ways to celebrate

the Year of Mercy. Please see me if you have questions.

Enjoy the month of August and stay cool. God bless.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. MD

Year of Mercy

A Prayer For Loving Our Neighbor:

Dear God, it is so easy to ignore people

we would rather not have to deal with.

Help me to remember your second

commandment is to love our neighbor.

Give me the grace to notice the

forgotten and the ignored, especially the

elderly, the homeless, or the people

others call crazy. If I can do anything to

brighten their day, let me have the

courage to do it. Help me to open my

eyes and heart to people in need. Amen

St. Jane Frances de Chantel Talks to Us

“If the mind can say nothing let the heart speak. Though we had nothing else to

say to God than to tell him that we love him and he is worthy of love,

that is enough”.
