ELEMENTARY SUMMER FAITH FORMATION
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
(for children entering grades 1-5 in fall 2019)
Summer Dates: July 15-18 & 22-25
(Monday – Thursday from 9am-12 noon)
Elementary Faith Formation is inspired by the "Catechesis of the Good
Shepherd", a Montessori-based contemplative approach for religious formation.
Children spend some time in our “Atrium”, interacting with beautiful handmade
materials to illuminate the Gospel stories, engage the essentials of our faith and
nourish the child's inner-most spiritual longings. Children also have an experi-
ence with crafts and music & motion all related to the central theme. The sum-
mer program is filled with energy in a retreat-like setting.
To register your child(ren), visit http://www.ctredeemer.org/we-form/
education/1st-through-5th-grade/. Complete the form and return to the of-
fice with payment. Late fee dues apply. A required parent meeting will take
place during the first session for one hour to relay all important information.
Please prayerfully consider being part of our catechist/coordinator team. For
questions, please call 248-391-4074 or email Gabriela at
Tithing Committee
Members Needed
Did you know that Christ the
Redeemer donates 10% of our
monthly offertory collection to
charitable organizations? As part of
our baptismal promise, we take care
of those in need. Would you like to
be part of the committee that de-
cides where the money can be allo-
cated? They meet once a month to
discuss and determine what organi-
zations, both globally and locally will
receive our donations. We ask for a
3 year commitment, which begins in
August. If you could spare a couple
hours a month please call Lisa Pratt
in the office at (248) 391-1621 ext.

We are collecting tools and miscellaneous items, (new and used) for
our youth summer mission project with the Motor City Blight Bust-
ers. Tools, gloves beverages, dust masks, garbage containers and bags
will be used as the kids help clear blighted areas in Detroit this July on
their Summer Mission.
Tags will also be available for bike locks for CCRT, Catholic Community
Response Team in Pontiac. CCRT collects bikes for Pontiac residents who do
not have access to an automobile. With every bike donated, they give a bike
lock. All items are due back at church the weekend of June 29/30. Thank you!

Christ the Redeemer
The idea for Castelot (CAST uh low) Summer Scripture
was actually sown back in 1990 when I attended a summer
scripture conference at St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein
IL. My nephew Matt was making his first communion that
summer and I wanted to be there for the weekend. I looked
for a conference that I could attend in the Chicago area.
What excited me about the conference was that Jack Shea was one of the pre-
senters. I went back every summer for six more years. Joanne Plant joined me
for several of those years. In 1995 Joanne and I approached the Archdiocese
about hosting a conference at the newly opened St. John Retreat Center at the
site of our former seminary. The first summer scripture was held in 1996.
We named our summer scripture in honor of Fr. John Castelot who taught
almost 50 years at St. John Seminary. Jack was with us the first two years of the
conference, but died in 1998. The Castelot Summer Scripture continued for 13
years at St. John Center.
In the fall of 2009, with the reorganization of the Archdiocese, St. John
Center was closed. Officially Castelot Summer Scripture came to an end, but Jim
Kiefer and I decided to keep it going. We moved to St. James Parish in Novi for
three years, and this year will be our seventh year at Christ the Redeemer, our
24th year. Mary Elizabeth Murray and Mari Reyes are part of the planning team,
with lots of help from CTR volunteers who help set up and serve the meals.
Most of those attending are from our local area, but we have some who come
from Saginaw and Toledo, and a few people from other states.
Castelot Summer Scripture is set in the context of prayer: we gather for
morning prayer and evening prayer, with afternoon Eucharist just before dinner.
There are four presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday and three on Thursday.
The content of the lectures is both challenging and stimulating. While not for
beginners, neither is it for experts. It is meant for ordinary people who have a
love of scripture and a thirst for deeper understanding.
This year we are welcoming back one of our favorite presenters, Fr. David
Neuhaus, S.J., from Jerusalem. David will be leading us on an exploration of the
multiple texts in the synoptic Gospels. We'll begin where Mark's Gospel begins:
at the River Jordan. Then Matthew's version, followed by Luke's account of the
Baptism. Each version of the narrative helps fill in the depth and variety of the
portraits we have of Jesus.
Megan McKenna is also coming this year as our guest. She will preach at
Tuesday Liturgy.
There is a tuition charge for the summer scripture, but we do have an even-
ing rate for those who might be interested in joining us for a one of both eve-
nings. Anyone is welcome to join us for Mass at 4:00pm on, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday afternoon. Tuesday Evening Taizé prayer will be an hour later
than usual, at 8:00pm.
If you would like to join us for an evening session, (without dinner) we are
suggesting a $10 donation. Complete schedule and topics are available at
www.castelotscripture.com. The evenings are part of the continuing series of
talks, but each presentation should stand alone without too much difficulty.

CHRIST THE REDEEMER SERVICE
It's Okay to Be Human . . .
We’re brought up to be strong, self-
sufficient, independent people. We tend to
think that if we ask for help, it’s a sign of weak-
ness. So we try to keep our struggles hidden,
stuffed deep inside. However, that’s not God’s plan. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear
one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” God wants us to care for
others - and allow others to care for us in our time of need
If you’re sad or struggling inside, don’t suffer alone. Ask for help. We’ve got
a team of Stephen Ministers who are ready to listen, care, encourage, pray, and
help you through a tough time. Men are matched with men, and women with
women. (It’s completely confidential too!) To find out more about Stephen Min-
istry for you or someone you know, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Lead-
ers: Karen Swietlik or Margo Clarfelt. By calling the parish office or email ser-

NO HAZ Day
There will be a No HAZ day on Saturday, June 22 at Oakland University in
Rochester from 8am-2pm. To accelerate the drop off process:
Please separate materials in your trunk, trailer or truck bed into three types:
paint, electronics and other hazardous waste.
You will need to fill out a registration form and present your driver’s license
or other proof of residency and pay by cash or check.
No HAZ collection events are open to any Oakland County resident but
those living in a NO HAZ community receive special pricing because of their
community’s membership. Any resident of a NO HAZ Consortium member
community can attend any collection event. Most communities charge $10, paid
by cash or check at the event. Some communities require residents to present a
voucher ( paid or free) at the event. Check with your community to see the cost.
Consortium member communities include Independence Township, Lake Ange-
lus, Lake Orion, Leonard, Oakland Township, Orion Township, Oxford, Ox-
ford Township and Waterford Township. This is sponsored by Oakland Coun-
ty. Questions, call (248) 858-5656.
Refugee Update and Needs: Drivers and ESL Interpreter
The North Oakland Catholic Parishes’ (NOCP) outreach assistance of two
Congolese refugee families living in Warren continues in the spirit of Christ’s
scriptural urge that we welcome strangers among us in need. Initially assisted by
Samaritas, the two families are coping with the challenges of acculturation in an
unfamiliar environment, the adults especially dealing with no ESL (English as a
second language) skills. The school-aged children are, however, making good
progress immersed in public school classes. Both families have expressed grati-
tude for NOCP donations of infant care items and assistance with transportation
to medical appointments. NOCP seeks further volunteers able to respond to
other transportation needs of the families as well as anyone with Swahili lan-
guage skills willing to assist our ESL trainers. If you are able to help with trans-
portation or with ESL, please contact Karen Swietlik or Lisa Pratt in the parish
office.
To whom do we tithe:
World Medical Relief
World Medical Relief collects surplus medical supplies, that would other-
wise be wasted, and distributes them to where they are needed, whether it’s local-
ly, nationally or globally. If not for their service, many of these medical items
(e.g., walkers, canes, crutches, bandages, nutritional supplements, etc.) would end
up in a landfill.
WMR also collects prescription medications and operates a state-licensed
pharmacy that distributes medicine to under- and uninsured people in Michigan.
In addition, they provide local homeless shelters with much-needed blankets and
hygiene kits through their Blanket Relief Program.
World Medical Relief is headquartered in Southfield, Michigan. For more

reflection From the youth minister, John 16:12-15
Today’s Gospel reflection is somewhat of a continua-
tion of last week’s article. Perhaps it’s because my car is in
the shop, but I’m running on a theme here.
Last week we reflected on how adding fuel to the gas
tank in our car is not unlike calling on the Holy Spirit in
prayer when we need “more gas in our tank” or Holy
Help.
There is a long running joke that real men don’t ask
for directions. I don’t know how accurate this statement
is, but I do know my husband prefers to figure his way
around traffic (especially with all the road construction
we’re currently experiencing) rather than check his GPS. I
think it’s because he considers it a challenge and wants to
figure it out on his own. Somehow, for him, this is fun.
For me, I do not like to be lost…and I get lost really easi-
ly. I can get lost going around the block (and have) so I
prefer to know exactly where I’m going. I prefer to have
turn by turn navigation. Ideally, I’d like to have studied
out a route before even leaving my house.
This brings me to another way the Holy Spirit is com-
missioned to help us and make a huge difference in our
lives. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus promises his Apostles
that “the Spirit of truth” will guide them. It also says that
Jesus gave his followers only the information he felt they
could take in at the time. It’s kind of like the GPS on my
phone. I only seem to know the information one step at a
time, when I would often like to see the entire route. The
Holy Spirit is our road map.
Are you willing to follow it?
I’ve known teens who’ve struggled with questions
like, “Where should I go with my life?” Isn’t it nice to
know there are directions?
God could have sent Jesus as a role model and then
left the rest up to us. But, because God knows and loves
us so well, he wants the best for us. That means we have
guidance whenever we want it. Here are a couple of im-
portant tips to remember when we go to look for that
guidance.
First, Jesus gave the Holy Spirit to his disciples in a
group, not as individuals. So, we need to remember that
we are part of a community of believers and as such, we
need to lean on each other for support and help. That’s
one reason that our Mass is so crucial to our faith. We
pray and worship together as a community. We have a
faith family ready and waiting to help us sort through the
details of life and to make those big decisions. We can
rely on their wisdom and experience.
Second, the Spirit’s guidance comes to us through
the dead as well as the living. We believe in a
“communion of saints” and can call upon them at any
time for support. The Holy Spirit guides us through their
lives too. We can read about them in the Bible, on the
Internet and in books to learn how they navigated their
faith and lived their lives like Jesus. Their lives can pro-
vide us with part of our road map.
Finding God’s direction in our lives isn’t always easy.
It can be confusing, with many wrong turns and dead
ends. But, every time we reach for the Holy Spirit’s help,
we will find direction. When I look back, I’m amazed at
the journey I’ve traveled and it’s been a pretty great ride.
Think about a time when prayer or discussion with
other Christians helped you find God’s guidance.

Summer Mission 2019
For the past 20 years or so, our
parish has worked with the Motor
City Blight Busters and our teens
have spent one week in the summer
volunteering in the Old Redford dis-
trict of Detroit. We begin our day
getting to know one another with a
social gathering and prayer at CTR
and then car pool to the city to be
Christ’s hands and feed in action.
After a day filled with new adven-
tures, we return home dirty, sweaty
and tired and ready to dive into an-
other day. Our days are filled with a
variety of activities and include paint-
ing murals, cleaning trash, clearing
home sites, spreading mulch and
gravel and even weeding and sweep-
ing the streets. There is no job too
big or too small for a heart that walks
with Jesus. If you have a teen in
grades 9-12 and would like more in-
formation about Summer Mission,
please contact Lisa Andridge in the
Youth Ministry Office. We have a a
teen orientation scheduled for Tues-
day, June 18.
Shop at the Oxford Meijer and help support the
Oxford/Orion FISH pantry
Now through June 22, Oxford Meijer shoppers can double their support of
the FISH pantry by purchasing Meijer Simply Give donation cards. The cards
will help keep the pantry shelves well stocked for months to come. Meijer will
match all cards purchased now through June 22. Proceeds will be converted into
food-only gift cards and used by FISH to stock our pantry shelves with a wide
variety of items for the hundreds of individuals who shop there every month.
The current program is the latest in the Simply Give campaigns Meijer has spon-
sored with Oxford/Orion FISH and other food pantries in recent years. It has
become the largest and most important fundraising effort. Thank you for your
continued support.

From: Rick Crowell #144211/13924 Wadaga Road, Baraga, MI 49908
Dear Pastor,
I’ve been born again since 1990. Have lost my angelic wife and entire family
while in prison for crimes of another. I was recently moved in spirit to begin
writing a church requesting companionship and fellowship. Have written to
dozens of churches with no response. I get it! Have Christians abandoned pris-
oners?
Will write all!
Love in Him, Rick
P.S. Due to new rules you must use blue or black ink on white lined paper
and put your name and address on your letter itself.
