Ladies Night Out

(Tues. July 18, 6:30-8:00 pm)

The Women’s Guild is hosting a

“Girl’s Night Out” on Tuesday,

July 18th. We’re having the

meeting in the evening to also

make the guild available to

women who cannot attend

during the day. Our prime focus

of the evening will be

to socialize, meet new people

and introduce the guild to

women who are not familiar

with our purpose. We’ll meet in

Marion Hall at 6:30 PM. The

event will be over by 8:00 so

everyone can be home before

dark!

Remember: God uses us every

day in ways we don’t always

understand. Sometimes, all we

have to do is show up!

If you have any questions or

need child care, please call

Joanne at 770-377-2280. See

you Tuesday!

Fall Festival Update (Sept 29- Oct 1)

Trailer Tuesday’s continue.

Bring items to the lower parking

lot from 10 – 1 pm. There is lots

of help available. No excuse for

not cleaning out the garage.

Wednesdays with the Fathers

(Fr. Juan & Fr. Wise) (Jul 19, 26, Au 2 @ 6 pm)

Marian Hall was full for the

first class on the Catechism of

the Catholic Church. Fr. Juan

introduced the Catechism and

gave an overview of Section

One – The Creed. Come July

19th @ 6 pm, (bring your

dinner) as Father Juan

discusses Section 2 – Liturgy

and Sacraments. Week 3 and

4 are turned over to Fr. Wise

– Life in Christ and Prayer. A

good summer series for all!

Bible Study for Moms (Tues Aug. 8, 10 am/ 8 wks)

Join other moms in the parish

for an eight-week bible study

that focuses on strengths

through motherhood. Finding

peace, balance and joy as a

mom brings happiness to the

home. Class is called

Momnipotent. Registration

fee is $30.Childcare provided

if requested. Sign up in the

vestibule of the church. Go

Mom!

Widening of Hwy 515 With the widening of Hwy

515 soon to begin, how will

it affect the St. Francis of

Assisi Church property?

We have the answer.

Fr. Juan and leaders of the

Parish Council and Finance

Council met with the Dept.

of Transportation recently

and were advised that there

will only be one minor

change to the church

property. The area of the

lower parking lot where the

dumpster is located (which

is state property already)

may be taken. It would

result in the loss of a few

parking spaces. Nothing

more.

We can thank God and the

heavens for this good news.

Now…if we could get some

heavenly help with how to

multiply parking spaces,

that would be another

miracle!

Feast of St. Mary Magdalene

Saturday, July 22 is the

feast day of St. Mary

Magdalene. She is one of

the most misunderstood

women of the Bible. She

was conflated with several

other figures by medieval

commentators, including

Mary of Bethany (sister of

Martha and Lazarus) and

the sinful woman who

washes Jesus’s feet with her

hair in Luke’s account.

What we know about her is

that Jesus healed her, and

that she was the first

witness of his Resurrection.

The Work of Our Hands – The Triple Cross

During much of the Liturgy of

the Word, our hands rest quietly

on our laps. Some people fold

them in an attentive position.

Others place their hand palms

down, as if emptying themselves

to make room for the words of

Holy Scripture. Still others keep

them open, in an attitude of

acceptance.

Before the Gospel, the priest or

deacon processes to the ambo,

and announces “A reading from

the holy Gospel according to…”

He then makes a triple Sign of

the Cross. We do this along with

him, each of us tracing, with the

right thumb, a small cross on the

forehead, the lips, and the heart.

Many of us have been taught to

say a silent prayer as we do this,

perhaps: “Jesus, be in my mind,

on my lips, and in my heart.”

This is our way of asking for the

grace to listen to the Gospel, and

to carry its Good News out into

the world. We could even

borrow this prayerful gesture

from the Mass, using it to

sanctify our waking and our

work each day.

Pope Francis July Prayer Intention Lapsed Christians

That our brothers and sisters

who have strayed from the

faith, through our prayer and

witness to the Gospel, may

rediscover the merciful

closeness of the Lord and the

beauty of the Christian life.

Parishioner Victor Cascarano

passed away Friday, July 7

after a long battle with cancer.

Victor was an usher at the

8:30 Mass and a Knight. He is

survived by his wife Carolyn

three grown children and five

grandchildren. Rest in peace,

Victor.

Jesús a menudo enseña en parábolas. En este

Evangelio explica a sus discípulos porque enseña de

esta manera e incluso cita a Isaías quien también

estaba inquieto por la falta de entendimiento

profundo de Dios por parte de la gente que

escuchaban sus predicas. Una parábola ofrece una

verdad profunda a través del relato de una historia.

De esta manera permite que los la que oyen o leen

puedan juzgar por sí mismos como la parábola toca

sus vidas. Jesús es el maestro mayor. El ofrece su

palabra a cada uno de nosotros para que

conozcamos más profundamente el misterio de

Dios y su plan de salvación. Cada persona que oye

la palabra de Dios en las parábolas de Jesús puede

identificarse con las historias que éstas contienen.

Solo cuando entendemos y aceptamos la Palabra de

Dios, ésta tendrá un efecto duradero en nuestras

vidas y nos ayudará a estar más cerca de Él.

En la Parábola del sembrador estamos llamados a

identificarnos con la tierra en la cual la semilla cae.

Qué tipo de tierra soy para recibir la semilla de la

Palabra de Dios? Jesús nos llama a mantener el

terreno de nuestras almas preparado para que

cuando la Palabra llegue eche buenas raíces y pueda

convertirse en un árbol sano que produzca mucho

fruto para nuestra salvación y la de todos los seres

alrededor nuestro.
