LIVE THE LITURGY�
"Show me what is physically different between a host that
is consecrated and one that is not." These are words that
can be heard on the lips of anyone struggling with faith.
Perhaps, they are heard on yours. Physical tests will reveal
no difference. The difference is seen through faith. In one
sense, it is simple. Either we believe that the risen Christ is
present �� soul and divinity �� or we do not. The fruits of
faith are the proof. In the Eucharist, God enters into the
very depths of who we are. However, it is our choice
whether we ignore what He does or act fully upon it. The
Eucharist can change us. When people see that we are dif-
ferent, they in turn will themselves believe. �

From Fr. Ray…�
I wish to invite you to join me next Sunday, August
26th, at the parish center of St. Augustine immediately
following the 8:00 a.m. Mass to thank Judy King for her
years of service as our Director of Religious Formation
and to wish her well in her retirement years. Coffee and
donuts will be served during this gathering.�
Jack Carter, our Diocesan Insurance Manager, has in-
formed all pastors of a change in our Diocesan Facilities
Use Policy related to the purchase of Special Events Lia-
bility (Tulip) Insurance caused by the need to retain a
new insurance company to carry this coverage for us.
Special Events Liability Coverage is applicable to a one
time, one day private event for an individual or families
(non�commercial) who wish to use a parish center for
birthday parties, wedding and baby showers etc. �
Under this new system individuals who wish to use a
parish center will need to ascertain a facility code num-
ber, go online for instructions and a payment process to
purchase the coverage that protects them, our parish and
the diocese from liability claims resulting from the cov-
ered event. This policy takes place immediately for any-
one seeking use of the parish center and is not connected
with the use for any parish events.�

home and family with a high school student from another
country. That’s why 13,000 families worldwide host AFS

cultural understanding and enrich your own life in count-
less ways by opening your heart and home to an AFS ex-
change student.�
