Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord, Welcome!

I am grateful for your presence as the Sacred Heart worshiping community gathers to celebrate our Eucharistic Liturgy for the 19

th

Sunday in Ordinary Time. You bless us through your prayerful

participation. May the Risen Lord enlighten your mind in the Word proclaimed and nourish your spirit through the Bread of Life we share. Last Saturday, Sr. Julia Ann, I.H.M., celebrated her 50th anniversary as a Sister Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As is her style, the jubilee was a prayerful celebration in thanks to God for her blessings in religious life with mainly her family and I.H.M. community. Sr. Julia Ann has taught first grade in Sacred Heart School for the past twelve years. She is a “master teacher” who combines teaching, discipline and care in preparing our first graders for their many years in education. Our school and students have been enriched by Sr. Julia Ann’s dedication to the development of her students both academically and spiritually. On behalf of our parish community, I thank Sr. Julia Ann for her twelve years of service and presence in our Parish. As Sr. Julia Ann leaves for her new assignment at St. Martin of Tours, I extend the parish’s gratitude and prayerful best wishes. May the Risen Lord guide and bless you with a peaceful transition. In today’s Gospel, the disciples become fearful as their boat is “tossed about by the waves.” Thinking Jesus is a “ghost” they become “terrified.” Jesus assures them, “take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” These are words that Jesus speaks to each of us. Imagine Jesus saying these words to you. Imagine Jesus stretching out his hand to catch

you as he says, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Remember this scene in your times of fear. Peace be with you! God bless, Fr. McKee

is a holy day of obligation!

HOLY DAY MASSES: Thursday, August 14

7:00p.m Vigil

Friday, August 15 8:30am & 10:30am

(no evening Mass)

Is the RCIA for YOU? or for Someone you Know?

Are you baptized in another religion or not yet baptized and may be interested in becoming a Christian in the Catholic tradition? Are you a baptized Catholic, but did not receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eucharist?

Now is the time to consider for yourself... or to invite someone to RCIA. Beginning in September, we will gather together one evening each week in the Parish Center to listen to and reflect on God’s Word and deepen our understanding of the teachings of the Church. There is no pressure or obligation: it is merely a time to inquire. Pease contact Sr. Bridget at 610-449-3000 or shpmccullough@comcast.net for more information

The main reason people say they did not become Catholic sooner is because no one asked them! NOW IS THE TIME!

The Parish Center will be CLOSED on

Friday, August 15 - Feast of the Assumption
