The Sanctuary Candle beside the tabernacle burns this week

in memory

of

Dot and Bill Grubler

We have a lot of snowbirds in our church community. They’re here until the cold days of winter arrive. That’s their cue to pack a suitcase and head south. There is a certain appeal to avoiding the ice and snow, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be a snowbird. I like watching the seasons change. From my office window I can see a beautiful West Virginia hill. Today it is covered with dense green leaves and I imagine it is providing some shade on a hot summer day. We all know the cycle and the changes in scenery that will happen in the course of a year. I find the changing seasons to be a transition that is a centering and consistent part of my life. Some changes are not as predictable and don’t include a slow and steady evolution. A good example would be the transfer of Monsignor Peterson. We expected to say goodbye in late August. But he was reassigned to the Cathedral before we had a chance to say a proper goodbye. Fortunately, he’s just a few miles away. If you’d like to send a note or card, his new address is Cathedral of St. Joseph, 1300 Eoff Street, Wheeling, WV 26003. The good news to the change is that Father Carlos has joined the St. Michael Parish family. If you haven’t already, I’m sure you’ll have a chance to meet him soon. We asked him if we could have a welcome reception and he humbly declined. However, we were able to talk him into a little soirée and the root beer float party was scheduled. There are only two ingredients in a root beer float: root beer and vanilla ice cream. That sounds pretty simple. I think another two ingredients that would make the event really special are Father Carlos and YOU! Please plan to join us for a float following the 11:30 Mass this Sunday, July 7. We will be floating in the school cafeteria.

Good Shepherd Nursing Home is in need of a few more Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist to distribute Holy Communion to its residents. This takes about an hour or so, and usually is done between the hours of 9:00am and 11:30am. If you are willing to help out even once it will be greatly appreciated. It’s a beautiful sacrifice to make for our Catholic sisters and brothers who reside here. If you are interested or have any questions and would like to learn more about this opportunity to serve our elderly, please feel free to contact Fr. Paul Cabrita, S.M., the Chaplain at Good Shepard, 304-242-1093, ext 140.

FUNERALCHOIRMEMBERSNEEDED!Our parish is pleased to have a dedicated group of men and women who attend each Funeral Mass and assist in leading the music and sung prayer during the Mass. This ministry is very important as it provides not only musical support but is also a ministry of presence and prayer offered to support the family as they grieve and to pray for the repose of the soul of the deceased. We are in need of additional members to assist in this ministry – could you please help us? The choir gathers about 15-20 minutes before the Funeral Mass and then sings for the Mass. Choir members are notified by a phone tree when a funeral is scheduled. This is a wonderful ministry for those who are retired, but please know that all are welcome. If you are interested, please contact Clara White 304.242.2278 or Lucille Otte 304.242.3014.

Have you experienced divorce and would like to know more about the annulment process? Are you divorced and remarried outside the Catholic Church? Would you like to know how to make your marriage valid in the Church so you can receive the Sacraments again? Please contact Fr. Smay: 304-242-1560, x5 or [email protected] about the annulment process. Unfortunately, a lot of people have erroneous ideas about the process. It is doable and Father Smay will help you throughout the process.

Please pray for these men and women serving and those who have served our country in the

military, and for their families: ♦ Petty Officer First Class Eric J Auber, US

OUT THE PIKE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

JULY 21ST-25TH, 2019


TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It’s high summer now, school is out, the pace of work slows, and some people drift away. There are visitors in the churches every summer, and familiar faces are “among the missing.” Some find the summer’s call more appealing than the summons of the church bells. Many, however, would not dream of missing a Sunday, and so they make their way to Mass in unfamiliar places, watching the locals for clues as to when to sit or stand, where the Communion stations are. In answering the call, they keep the “sabbatical” rhythm of the Christian life: every seventh day, the Body of Christ assembles for worship. For centuries, there was no obligation to Sunday Mass in the sense of a written law, but Christians have always yearned to be together on Sunday. In the city of Abitina, during a persecution by the Emperor Diocletian, a group of Christians were urged to stop worshiping together on Sundays. They responded, “Then take our lives, for without the Sunday we cannot live.” By a curious coincidence, the appointed readings today center us on thoughts of peace. On our Independence Day, the experience of worship situated us in community, and evoked a commitment from us to be advocates of peace in all aspects of our society’s life. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CANDLE OF PEACE

This candle burns in honor and in memory of survivors of sexual abuse.

We place them and their families under the protection of St. Joseph- father, just

man and protector of families.

GOD’S PROVIDENCE Today’s readings celebrate God’s providence. No matter how wonderful (or heartbreaking) our relationships are, God always provides for us. No one cares for us the way God does. Isaiah delights us with a deeply intimate image of God caring for us “as a mother comforts her child.” The prophet describes us not as the usual “children of God,” but as “babies.” We should not resist this image, but rejoice in it. Trusting in God’s care, we can all let down our guard and rest like infants in the lap of our mother. Saint Paul’s trust in God allows him to be at peace like this. He boldly declares that no one can “make troubles” for him, because he has given himself completely to Jesus. And when Jesus sends his disciples out to preach and heal, he challenges them not to provide for themselves, but to let faith be their guide. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.


PRAYER FOR HEALING WITHIN THE CHURCH

St. Peter, pray for the church that it may be rebuilt, healed, and made holy. St. Monica, pray for the abused, survivors, and for justice. St. Catherine of Siena, pray for reform and restoration of the clergy. St. John Vianney, pray for the holiness of priests and bishops. St. Benedict, pray that all evil be cast out of the church. St. Anthony, pray for us to find a way forward. St. Paul, pray for the bishops that they may be fearless in confronting other bishops. St. Augustine, pray for true repentance and transparency. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Your contact information is important to us!

Have you moved? Do you have a new cell phone number? Have you changed your email address? Help us improve our parish communications by emailing [email protected] with your new contact information, or call Cindy at 304.242.1560, EXT 0.

Pray for Vocations O Mary, who raised your Divine Son with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, intercede for all young people, especially those clouded by doubt about their vocations. May the light of grace pierce their hearts so they may answer your Son’s call, especially those whom He is inviting to the priesthood and consecrated life. Amen.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

The parish will continue classes for any adults who want to join the Catholic Church. Classes will be held on Sunday mornings between the 9am - 11:30am Masses. Please contact Fr. Smay at [email protected] or call 304-242-1560, ext 5.

Powerful Prayer Events

Gethsemane Hour This Eucharistic Devotion in honor of the Precious Blood will begin on July 18th and then will follow on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 11pm until 3am in our Eucharistic chapel. You may only enter through the Eucharistic chapel door. Vigil There will be an all night Vigil on Friday, July 5th from 9pm until 7am. Please enter through the door by the Rectory. Please join us at these powerful devotions! Bring your family and friends, all are welcome.

Looking for a way for your family to help others?

Catholic Charities Neighborhood Center needs people to deliver meals to shut-ins. There are three different ways you could help.

Drivers are needed on Thursdays for a route that includes three downtown high rise apartment complexes for elderly people, and three private homes.

Drivers are needed one or two Saturdays a month to deliver the Pike route, which includes three senior citizen apartment complexes near St. Michael – Brookpark, Petroplus Tower and Welty Apartments - and six private homes.

Backup drivers are always needed. If you are flexible and willing to be called at the last minute if the regular driver can’t make it, please let Catholic Charities Neighborhood Center know.

Your family could do this, or you and a few neighbors could share a route. If you found four families, each family would only have to drive one route per month. Easy peasy! Volunteers pick up meals at the Neighborhood Center between 10:30am and 11:30am. The routes should take about an hour to complete. This is a wonderful way to thank God for all the blessings in our lives. If you can help, please call Keith Miller, the new Neighborhood Center volunteer coordinator, at 304.650.9608.
