FAMILY FAITH MOMENTS

On July 14, the Church celebrates St. Kateri Tekakwitha,

the first Native American Saint. She was a member of the

Mohawk Nation and grew up in a wilderness area that is

now upstate New York. Her mother, an Algonquin

baptized by the French missionaries in Canada, was

captured by the Mohawks and taken to be the wife of

the Mohawk chief. St. Kateri’s family all died from

smallpox when she was four. The disease left her scarred

and with weakened eyesight. Her name, Tekakwitha

means “she who bumps into things.” When she was 17,

her faith was so strong that she decided to become a

Christian. Her uncle, the chief, supported her decision,

but her Aunts were very angry. Many in the tribe felt the

Christian missionaries had spread diseases like the

smallpox to their villages. Kateri fled to a Christian

settlement in Canada where she cared for the children

and the sick and spent many hours in prayer. She died at

the age of 24.

Celebrating the feast days of the saints at home. While

gathering fruits and nuts in the forest, Kateri would make

crosses with sticks tied with strong grasses and place

them throughout the forest as reminders for her to pray.

Tie some sticks together or make paper crosses and

place in key spots in your house to remind you to pray.

Put one on the bathroom mirror, one in your bedroom,

one on the refrigerator, etc. Make a mix of dried fruits

and nuts for a mid-afternoon snack.

KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS

CORPORATE COMMUNION is held on the third Sunday of

the month at Our Lady of the Rosary Church at 10:30 am

(before the 11:00 am Mass); and on the fourth Sunday of

the month at St. Peter Church at 10:00 am (following the

9:00 am Mass). All are welcome to pray with us.

HALL RENTAL is available for receptions and meetings.

Please call 233-1711 for more information.

PARISH LIBRARY and GIFT SHOP

The St. Peter Library and Gift Shop will be closed for the

summer and will reopen in August. Books can be returned

in the box outside the library. Thank you to the library

volunteers and the children and adults who used the

books and videos to grow in their faith. Any questions,

please call Janet at 233-0594.

POPE’S UNIVERSAL JULY INTENTION

Priests and their Pastoral Ministry. That

priests, who experience fatigue and

loneliness in their pastoral work, may find

help and comfort in their intimacy with the

Lord in their friendships with their brother priests. Maryknoll Lay Missioners is a Catholic organization

inspired by the mission of Jesus to live and work with

poor communities in Africa, Asia, and the Americas,

responding to basic needs and helping to create a

more just and compassionate world. Maryknoll Lay

Missioners sends and supports long – term missioners

who work in Health care, Education, Pastoral Work,

Justice and Peace and Economic Development.

On July 14 and 15, Kip Hargrave will be speaking at

all the Masses (except the 6:00 Mass) at St. Peter;

and Debbie Northern will be speaking at the Masses

at Holy Cross, Our Lady of the Rosary, and St.

Adalbert. They will speak on the how the Lay

Missioners are called through baptism to witness to

the Gospel of Jesus Christ, crossing boundaries of

culture, nationality and faith to join our lives with

impoverished and oppressed peoples of the earth.

Kip Hargrave spent several years in El Salvador as a

Maryknoll seminarian before he joined Maryknoll Lay

Missioners. During those years, he gained a lot of

experience with the reality of Central America. At

that time, most of the missioners became involved

and committed to Monsignor Romero’s efforts to

bring justice and peace to that divided and war-torn

country. Later, Kip taught Spanish for a while in

Syracuse, but eventually became the Coordinator of

Refugee Services for Catholic Charities.

Debbie Northern originally from Warsaw, VA,

become a Maryknoll Lay Missioner in 1999. As

Maryknoll Lay Missioner, she served in Tanzania for

three years at St. Augustine University of Tanzania. In

2003, she began her work in El Salvador in the

program of CONTRASIDA, an organization that works

with people who are HIV. Currently, Debbie is the

Training and Educational Programs Manager for the

Maryknoll Lay Missioners.

There will be a second collection at all the Masses in

Region XII to help support the work of the missioners.

The Lay Missioners go to mission as representatives of

the Church and are supported by parishes

throughout the United States. The missioners have a

responsibility to communicate their mission

experience back their representatives. They show

respect for their supporters through careful

stewardship of the resources they receive. And they

bring back with them the spiritual riches gained

through their own on-going conversion among the

peoples of the world. Visit mklm.org for more details.

USE YOUR WORDS by Father Ethan

There are moments in our lives that when we are asked to express how we feel or what we are, thinking for whatever reason we can’t easily describe or articulate what’s going on inside us. We are overwhelmed or overpowered by the experience to the point that we find ourselves speechless. This might have happened the first time we were in love, at the birth of a child, the time we did something we never thought we’d be able to do, in the loss of someone very close to us, or watching someone we care for accomplish something glorious, it happens at different times

of our lives and there is just no way to be prepared. As I find myself moving from our parishes to my new position at Wright State University, I find myself at a true loss for words. Because of you, because of who you are my life will never be the same.

The past three years have been beyond a blessing,

they are not simply a memory but a treasure that I

will always hold close to my heart. What we’ve

shared together isn’t just a period of time that comes

and goes, but we have been united in a bond of faith and love ordained by God

himself. I know that sounds overly dramatic, but it’s actually true. It is God who

brought us together and it is God who will guide us forth. This is what being a church

is all about; we grow and share, live and love, suffer, and

endure, laugh, and cry knowing that our God is with us.

Maybe the reason behind these moments in our lives where

we find our human language to be so inadequate is because

for that split second the veil is lifted and we are actually

somehow closer to heaven than we are to the earth that is

before us. Maybe God allows us to

encounter His love through our own

life experiences in this real and

penetrating way where when asked about it no words do it

justice, but only the cry of our heart knowing that we belong

to the one who was behind it all: our God of love and glory.

Maybe that’s why in this moment I find myself with nothing

left to say but THANK YOU!

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own home.” MARK 6:4

CATECHISM CORNER Priorities

by Josh Miller

“The faithful should ‘distinguish carefully

between the rights and the duties which

they have as belonging to the Church and

those which fall to them as members of the

human society. They will strive to unite the

two harmoniously, remembering that in

every temporal affair they are to be guided

by a Christian conscience, since no human

activity, even of the temporal order, can be

withdrawn from God's dominion’” (CCC 912).

As Christians, we have obligations and connections to the

Church; but as citizens, neighbors, team members, children,

parents, etc. we have obligations and connections to “human

society” too. The Church is not a simpleton. It does not ask us to

ignore worldly affairs and only contemplate God. When the

printer breaks at work, saying “Jesus will save us” is not a

solution. As lay Catholics, we are supposed to be prudently

engaged in worldly affairs.

That being said, the Church reminds us that faith and life should

not be at odds. While we don’t have to spend every waking

moment in the pew, every waking moment should be shaped

by prayer and our identity as disciples of Christ. If faith and life

become at odds (aka. Sunday soccer game versus Mass;

Church event versus a friend’s birthday party; etc.), the Church

gives us the criteria for resolving the conflict. God is King. Both

belong to Him. You do not cause your child to miss out by

preferring your Sunday Mass obligation over soccer, you are

guiding him or her to prioritize Christ. Parties are a beautiful way

to build friendships, but shouldn’t we want happiness and

peace for our friends? How can we guide them to joy if we are

prioritizing parties over God?

So what do I do when I have a parish mission at the same time

as board game night? Pray. Always pray. While I am not saying

that we are obligated to go to every church event, we should

always pray. God’s wisdom can guide us in weighing what is

most important to Him. Have I spent much time in the past

month learning about Him? Maybe I need to go to the Church

talk. Have I been so busy with family and work for the past

month that I haven’t seen any friends? Maybe I need to reinvest

in those relationships with my brothers and sisters in Christ.

It’s not an easy formula, but it's also not a throw away truism. As

we each engage in personal discernment, may we trust the

wisdom of the Church to guide us and always ask Christ to bless

our decision with His peace.

junior high students. Any questions regarding meeting times and

OLR 50/50 RAFFEL REPORT

In September 2016, the 50/50 Raffle began to collect

funds to refinish our candlesticks. The initial estimate to

have 54 candlesticks redone was $20,860. Now, 22 months

later, after selling 2,482 raffle tickets and receiving $4,360

in donations, the task is complete! However, that is only

part of the story. When all was said and done, due to the

generosity of the owners of The Carlisle & Finch Company

in Cincinnati who did the work, the 50/50 paid for 82 items

at a total cost of $15,808. We not only received an initial

military discount, we also received a big break for being a

repeat customer. The items completed, in addition to the

54 candlesticks, were two crucifixes, six candelabra, two

additional candlesticks, 16 candle cups and two

tabernacle doors. These items were taken to Cincinnati in

seven batches.

Separate from the 50/50, the OLR Altar/Rosary Society

raised funds to pay for the Main Altar tabernacle doors,

the Holy Oil door, and the Easter Candlestick at a cost of

$1,190.

After paying the bills, the 50/50 has a balance of $962.

The next project is to pay for an exposition tabernacle for

St. Norman Chapel. Father Tony has already ordered,

paid, and had it installed; and the 50/50 will reimburse the

expenditure. The total to be raised is $2,030. So, we are

already off to a good start.

We wish to thank all of you who buy 50/50 tickets. We so

enjoy seeing familiar faces at the 5:00 pm and the 11:00

am Masses, as well as, meeting new people. We sincerely

hope you continue to support this worthy cause. We

would also like to thank Jerry Scott (Holy Cross) and Kathy

Collin (St. Adalbert) for selling tickets after their Masses.

We appreciate your time and effort very much. A big

thank you also goes out to the OLR Altar/Rosary Society

for providing the delicious refreshments each month at

the 50/50 drawing to make it even more of a community

event. – Suzanne Schiml & Teresa Leopold

50/50 Raffle Coordinators

THANK YOU

The family of Debbie Fusco Herman extends our most

sincere appreciation to Father Tony, Deacon Leo

Cordonnier, Andrew Larochelle, and choir for her

beautiful funeral Mass. Thank you also to Deacon Robert

Gutendorf for his thoughtful prayers during her viewing

and to the Bereavement Committee for their generous

luncheon and hospitality. We are so very grateful for your

prayers and support during this difficult time.
