JULY IS UV SAFETY MONTH: Who is at risk from eye damage from the sun? Yes, everyone (including children) is at risk for eye damage from UV radiation that can lead to vision loss. Any factor that increases the amount of time you spend in the sun will increase your risk. People who work or play in the sun for long periods of time are at the greatest risk. The risk of sun related eye problems is higher for people who: spend long hours in the sun, have had cataract surgery* or have certain retina disorders, are on certain medicines, such as tetracycline, sulfa drugs, diuretics and tranquilizers that increase the eye's sensitivity to light. *If you have had cataract surgery, you may be more at risk of injury from sunlight unless the artificial lens you re-ceived during surgery absorbs UV rays. Please consult your Ophthalmologist or Optometrist , if you have concerns. - From The Health Promotions Ministry.
POPE FRANCIS INTENTIONS FOR JULY: The Integrity of Justice. That those who administer justice may work with integrity, and that the injustice, which prevails in the world, may not have the last word.

Thoughts on Stewardship
Stewardship is … a little bit you, a forward path, a privilege, a way, a
choice, a pleasure, a helping hand, a promise, a connection, a right, a re-
sponsibility, a thank you, an awareness, a commitment, a gift, a cross-
road decision, a connection to each other, a little bit of you for God.
