Someone said to me: “I have

problems when I study

the Word. I don’t

remember most of

what I read.” Well, you may

not remember everything you ate for

the past year, but it doesn’t necessarily

mean your body was not being

nourished.

The Poth Knights of

Columbus will host their

Installation Dinner on Sunday,

July 9th.

The Second Collection for this

Weekend 6/26 – 6/27 will be for

Peter’s Pence Collection.

Church Secretary

Strikes Again. I inadvertently scheduled the

Parish Fundraiser on the same day

that the St. John Lutheran Church

in POTH scheduled their

fundraiser on. Sooooo the

Christian thing to do is move our

Fundraiser to Sunday, August 15th.

I apologize to everyone for the

mixup. In our small community

we must work together.

To God be the Glory!!

FEAST OF FAITH

Preparation of the Gifts

The altar is prepared, the gifts are

received. Several brief rites follow

with accompanying prayers, some

prayed silently by the priest and

deacon and others said aloud. We

call this part of the Mass the

“preparation.” What kind of

preparation is happening? First, the

presider holds up the paten or bowl

containing the hosts, and says

words that Jesus must have said

many times, since they derive from

ancient Jewish meal prayers:

“Blessed are you, Lord God of all

creation!” We have brought

forward our gifts, our offering to

God, and now we acknowledge

that they are not really ours—the

gifts that we give are God’s gift to

us. It is “through your goodness”

that we have gifts to offer. It is

significant that we offer not wheat

and grapes, but bread and wine;

“fruit of the earth and work of

human hands.” Bread and wine are

both God’s work, and ours. These

preparatory rites also prepare us

for what we are about to do in the

Eucharist, a mystery in which

divine and human meet; a holy

collaboration in which our action

is caught up into God’s divine

plan. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Trash Cans Please do not throw dirt and

rocks into the trash cans in the

cemetery. It makes it

impossible to move them to the

curb for pickup.

FOUNDING

PRINCIPLES

Equal rights for all,

special privileges for none.

—Thomas Jefferson

First Friday Adoration is on

Friday, 7/2. It will begin after the

7:00am Mass and conclude at 1:30pm.

A sign-up sheet can be found on the

bulletin board at the entrance of the

church.

JESUS’ EXAMPLE OF

HELPING OTHERS

In today’s second reading Paul

offers a wonderful argument to his

converts at Corinth for seeking to

help those in need. He is dealing

with a practical problem,

arranging a collection for the poor

of the church of Jerusalem; but as

he often does, he develops an

important teaching about Jesus to

make his point.

After asking that they show their

faith by generous gifts, he reminds

them of the “gracious act of our

Lord Jesus Christ, that though he

was rich, for your sake he became

poor, so that by his poverty you

might become rich” (2 Corinthians

8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord

assumed our human nature,

certainly becoming poor for one

who is God. The ultimate gracious

act of this poverty was going to the

cross with all its terrible

sufferings. By this act of poverty

we definitely become rich. Now

our sins can be forgiven; we can

share in the very life of God

through the sacraments; we can

attain eternal salvation! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Donations: We will once again be accepting donations

of Cash, Checks, Gift Certificates and Gift

Cards for the Annual Fundraiser at the

Church Office or through any one of the

Committee Members. We are prayerfully

looking forward to another abundant

harvest.

To God Be the Glory!!

MEN’S ACTS RETREAT We are planning a men’s Poth ACTS retreat for August 19th through the

22nd. This is an unforgettable opportunity to have a "close encounter" with the Lord, and share the weekend

with a number of like-minded gentlemen interested in serving you, and leading you closer to God. In the past, those

boarding the bus thought: "I do not want to go", but after the retreat, boarding the

bus on the way home thought: "I do not want to leave". Give it a chance. We would

really like for you to join us. Please contact Alan Crosby at (210) 387-8791, or David Pena at (830) 534-8966 to sign

up, or for more information.

UPDATE

Trying something

new. We will have a Silent Online

Auction this year to allow for some additional

opportunities to win some fabulous prizes. For

those who do not have access to a computer or just need help with the online process our

committee members will be available to assist

those who need help. In order for this to

happen though we need donations of items such as what we used for the Bucket Raffle in the past. Items can be dropped off at

the Rectory or if it is a large item a picture of the item can be sent to one of the

committee members or dropped off at the Rectory. Once we get a commitment on a

number of prizes we foresee opening up the Auction a couple of weeks before the

Fundraiser.

Each 10th Ticket Drawn will receive

$100 worth of gift cards/certificates

to various businesses in our

community.

The 100th Ticket Drawn will receive a

$250 gift card.

The 200th Ticket Drawn will receive a

$500 gift card.

The 300th Ticket Drawn will receive a

$750 gift card.

The 400th Ticket Drawn will receive a

$1,500 gift card. The Roast Beef, Sausage, Green Beans,

Potatoes and Cole Slaw meal will be catered by

Outlaw Catering. Desserts will be provided by

Betty Moy. A drive through will be setup to accommodate those who choose to pick up their

plates. No dine in. We will begin the Drawing at 12:00pm. The drawing will be livestreamed

on Facebook for everyone to view from the

comfort of their own homes.
