MASS INTENTIONS FOR THE WEEK Welcome Visitors & Guests

Thank you for Celebrating the Mass with us. We are glad that you

From Deacon Brian:

I would like to thank all the volunteers, our ushers, cleaners, office,

and maintenance staff in our parishes who have helped with our

churches reopening plan. We continue to record a mass every week-

end for those who cannot make it. We are committed to making sure

our houses of worship are safe for our people to return. As always,

thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please contact the parish offices if you know of someone who is sick

and would like to receive communion. Without the benefit of a wor-

ship aid for mass, please feel free to take a copy of the “Word

Among Us”, it has readings, mass parts and reflections in every is-

sue.

Just a reminder, our parishes Thrift Stores are open. These stores not

only serve a great need in the community but also help add extra

income to our parishes. I am most grateful for these stores and the

dedicated volunteers who work so hard.

To our Food Pantry in Constable, under the direction of Karen

Welch and her volunteers, we are blessed to be able to provide that

service to those in need in our community.

Finally, I pray you have a blessed 4th of July. A day to give thanks

for our independence. However, let us always remember our de-

pendence on Almighty God. Grace and Peace to your family and

friends.

Environmental Stewardship

Have you ever wished you knew of a natural weed killer that pro-

tected the soil and the water while keeping under control those plant

species that grow where you don’t want them (better known as

"WEEDS")? Here is one to try: 4 cups white vinegar; 1/4 cup salt

and 1 tsp. liquid soap. Combine ingredients in a spray bottle and

spray the weeds at the sunniest time of the day for best results.

Spray carefully. This stuff can’t tell a flower or vegetable plant from

a "weed!" This recipe and for many other recipes: search for

“homemade weed killer.”

Planned Giving: Leaving a Legacy

Think about the part you want to play in our parish’s future. You

have the opportunity to support this ministry in many ways. Naming

our parish as a beneficiary in your estate plan or the making of an

endowment gift can assure your continued participation in this minis-

try far into the future. For further information, contact Scott Lalone,

Executive Director of Development/Foundation at the Diocese of

Ogdensburg at 315-393-2920 or slalone@rcdony.org.

NFP AWARENESS WEEK JULY 19-25:Annual USCCB initiative

to increase awareness of God's plan for married love.

July 19-25 marks National NFP Awareness Week, which invites every-

one to consider the beauty of God's plan for sex, love and marriage.

"Like so many other people who have made the switch to Natural Fam-

ily Planning," Jennifer Fulwiler writes, "I simply couldn't be okay with

any form of sterilization any more, whether temporary or permanent. In

that place deep in the heart where the most important truths about our

humanity reside, I know as surely as I know anything else that those

Catholic teachings about human sexuality are true and good." To learn

more about those teachings, or about NFP--a healthy, effective, re-

spectful approach to family planning--please contact the Diocesan NFP

Office, apietropaoli@rcdony.org or 518-483-0459. Visit us at https://

www.rcdony.org/nfp

Mary Immaculate, our Mother and our Patroness,

we ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as

you did at the wedding in Cana.

Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our

diocese, our nation and our world, for our

families and loved ones, the protection of

your Maternal mantle from this dreaded virus.

In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us

to love one another and to be patient and kind.

Help us to bring the peace and healing

Presence of Jesus to our land and to our hearts.

We come to you with confidence, knowing that you are our com-

passionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Keep us

in the embrace of your arms. Help us always to know the love of

your Son, Jesus our Lord AMEN.

COURAGE & ENCOURAGE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

ONLINE THIS YEAR!

July 25 – 26, 2020

Visit: www.couragerc.org/conference2020

ABOUT COURAGE: Courage members are men and women who

experience same-sex attractions and who have made a commitment to

strive for chastity. They are inspired by the Gospel call to holiness and

the Catholic Church’s beautiful teachings about the goodness and in-

herent purpose of human sexuality.

Through our apostolate, people who experience same-sex attraction

receive pastoral support in the form of spiritual guidance, community

prayer support, and fellowship.

"These men and women testify to the power of grace, the nobility

and resilience of the human heart." - Cardinal Robert Sarah

ABOUT ENCOURAGE: EnCourage members are parents, spouses,

sibling and friends of people who identify as LGBTQ. They are look-

ing for help to keep the faith and keep their family bonds intact.

EnCourage members work together to understand the experiences of

their loved ones, and to respond to them with compassion. They know

that it is possible to express love for someone even if we can’t support

all of their choices or actions. They find spiritual guidance to grow in

their relationship with Christ, and community support from other mem-

bers that helps them remember that they are not alone on this journey.

"Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We

cannot love without suffering and we cannot suffer without love."

- Saint Gianna Beretta Molla"

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Readings: 2 Kgs 4:8-11, 14-16a/Rom 6:3-4, 8-11/Mt 10:37-42

Today’s Gospel speaks of crosses and of rewards. Do not let the fear

of the crosses in life make you hesitant in following Christ, of get-

ting close to him. For it is through the crosses that we come to know

true love and that we can come to know the many graces we have

already received from him who loved us first. Do not be afraid to

draw near to him, so that those who draw near to us, may encounter

him in use and through us.
