Mission Appeal
This Weekend
Our Holy Father, Pope
Francis has indicated that
encouraging acts of
charity is one of the main
focuses of his pontificate.
As a concrete act of
solidarity, we invite you
to see the world as the
Pope does—through the
eyes of those struggling to
make ends meet on a
daily basis. Modeling the
Pope’s love for the “least
among us” and moving
forward on our call to love our neighbor, we invite
you to participate in our diocese’s Summer
Mission Appeal.
This weekend we are pleased to welcome our
friend, Fr. Tony Stanonik, to share his story of life
as a missionary priest in Nicaragua. We are all
called to support missionaries in their works of
evangelization and loving service. The proceeds
from our mission appeal will be used to directly
support Fr. Tony and the people he serves in
Nicaragua. Your generous donation unites you as a
missionary to our brothers and sisters around the
world who need our help.
There are special yellow envelopes in the pews
for this collection. Return them in the collection
basket or to the Parish Office.
You are invited to
Father Mike’s
25th Anniversary
Celebration!
Saturday, August 10th 5:00pm Mass followed

invited to share in the celebration! No gifts! Please
bring a dish to share from the following list:

Being Greedy for God Throughout time, people have struggled with greed and hoarding. Plato said that the one with many needs is poor; the one with few needs is rich. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn cautioned that we prove our greatness not by the number of our possessions but by the grandeur of our actions. In today’s gospel, Jesus, likewise, admonishes us against being greedy. Each of us, rich or poor, can be infected by greed. We are greedy when we pursue a “more-is-better” lifestyle and hold a “must-have-it-now” mentality. We are greedy when we accumulate more than we need and hoard our time, talent and treasure. It is not how much we have, but our attitude toward what we have. We are in danger if we confuse possessions with true human worth, or if we confuse security with happiness. Our true worth can-not be measured in dollars, stock certificates, or insur-ance policies, but rather in the way we live our lives as sons and daughters of the generous open-handed Giver of Life. May our Eucharist lead us to differentiate between our needs and our wants and to share our lives more openly with others. Then we will be rich in all that really counts. —Living with Christ
We celebrate the feast of
The Transfiguration of the Lord
Tuesday, August 6th
Pope Benedict XVI had this to say
about the Transfiguration:
“The transfiguration is a prayer
event; it displays visibly what
happens when Jesus talks with his Father: the
profound interpretation of his being with God, which
then becomes pure light. In his oneness with the
Father, Jesus is himself ‘light from light.”

All who follow the way of Christ wrestle with setting priorities. Filling a bigger barn, adding to a stock portfolio, increasing a market share, working a second job; these cannot dominate one's life. Each one of us must set aside working for earthly goods to do the spiritual and corporal works of mercy that make us rich in the sight of God.
“...the family is the foundation of society.
In it the various generations come to-
gether and help one another to grow wise
and to harmonize personal rights with the
other requirements of social life.” —Vatican II, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, 52

Kid’s Corner Do you know what a missionary is? A missionary is a person who leaves family
and friends and comfort behind because
they feel God is tell-
ing them to share
the Gospel. They go
out into the world to
spread the Good
News of Jesus! This
week at Mass we
learned about Fr. Tony who is a
missionary in the country of Nicaragua.
When he travels around Nicaragua
sometimes he takes
a boat or even a
donkey! Say a prayer
today for Fr. Tony
and for all the
missionaries around
the world who are
spreading God’s love!

Understanding the Parts of the Mass
As Catholics, our worship cen-ters on the Mass. The Mass has a number of parts, each of which
is a call to deepen our faith: Part I —The Liturgy of the Word: the Homily
In the homily, the priest follows the example of Christ on the road to Emmaus, explaining and interpreting the Scriptures. Sometimes this interpretation is biblical, sometimes theologi-cal, sometimes moral or catechetical (Lk 24:13-35). Always, however, again in imitation of the Emmaus encounter (where Christ “was made known … in the Breaking of the Bread”), it should prepare the congregation for or point us toward what is about to follow: the Liturgy of the Eucharist. —Our Sunday Visitor
The Great Gift
of the Father
The Holy Spirit is
the great gift of the
Father, made
possible to us
through the death
and resurrection of Jesus. The presence of the Holy
Spirit within us is, in fact, so great that Jesus himself
said it was better that he go so that the Holy Spirit
could come (John 16:7). What an amazing gift — the
presence of God not manifested through oracles or
divination, not even limited to temples and Churches
— but in us. This often-neglected person of the Triune
God is God’s active presence on our earth today. He is
the person that gives direction and inspiration to our
daily lives. The promptings we receive each day to
serve this person or encourage that person, to pray or
deny ourselves, come from the Holy Spirit. The more
we listen, the more He directs us. The more He directs
us, the more we live in the fruits of the Holy Spirit,
which are peace, love, joy, patience, kindness,
generosity, faith, gentleness, and self-control
(Galatians 5:22-23). —www.evangelicalcatholic.org
Summer of the
HOLY SPIRIT
Thank You! Thank you for your donations, for supporting all
our summer fundraisers and for all your prayers
that helped us get our Youth Ministry group to the
Steubenville teen retreat that took place at USD last
weekend. We were able to take 25 teens from the
parish and it was an awesome experience for every-
one. The teens heard lots of inspiring Catholic
speakers, rocked out to some great music, attended
Mass and participated in Eucharistic Adoration.
Your support made it happen and we appreciate it!

¿Sabes quien es un misionero?
Un misionero es una perso-
na que deja amigos y co-
modidades y su familia por-
que se siente llamado por
Dios a compartir el Evange-
lio. Salen al mundo para
difundir la Buena Nueva de
Jesús. La semana pasada el
P. Tony nos compartió de su trabajo como misio-
nero en Nicaragua: cuando tiene que ir a cele-
brar la misa, tiene que tomar una barca o incluso
un burro. Les pedimos una oración por el P. Tony
y por todos los misioneros
de todo el mundo que
están difundiendo la Bue-
na Noticia y el amor de
Dios.

envidia, la mentira... y revestirte de las actitu-
des de Jesús: bondad, amor, misericordia,
comprensión...?
¿Cómo vas renovando en ti la imagen de tu
Creador día a día?
¿Te sientes apegado a tus bienes, pocos o
muchos, los que tengas...? ¿Qué quieres
hacer con ellos? ¿Cómo puedes hacerte rico
en Dios?

ñor, la misa es a las 6 PM en ingles.
