The next class will be held August 22nd at 6:00PM in Deacon Marc’s office. Please contact Sally by calling the Parish Office at 432-3333 for information and to register. You must register before attending.

PRAYER HOUR FOR THE SICK Deacon Marc and the Knights of Columbus invite all parishioners to an hour of prayer for the sick. We all know people who are ill, having an operation, recovering from one, or who are in distress. Please join us to pray for these intentions on Tuesday, August 21st at 6:30PM in the Church. There will be

Eucharistic Exposition, St. Raphael’s Prayer, the Rosary and the Liturgy of the Hours Evening Prayer. We will have light refreshments afterwards for some community time. Contact Chip Lukitsch at 540-2240 if you have any questions.

GOD’S WORK We are so busy! Most of us have more than one job to do, and we never seem to have enough time. We are workers, volunteers, parents, friends, and most of us are more than one thing at a time. But which of these is the work of God? We seldom view our ordinary work as being the work of God. We may think that we have to be ministers or priests, missionaries or charity workers, engaged full-time in works formally identified as being “God’s work.” But everything we do with a faithful heart and with love for others is God’s work. We each have our own role to fill in the world, and many gifts are necessary. We cannot always see the direct connection of our daily work to the plan of God. But we trust and we believe that God leads us to do what is needed, where it is needed. What is “God’s work?” “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent” (John 6:29).

This weekend, please welcome Rev. John D. Kirwin who will be with us to celebrate Masses and tell us about the work of Unbound, a lay Catholic sponsorship ministry that helps children and elderly in 18 developing countries. To learn more, call 800-875-6564 or visit www.unbound.org.

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

NIGHT OF INQUIRY REGARDING THE ROMAN

CATHOLIC CHURCH

Often, we find that there are people in our lives who are searching for a

closer relationship with Jesus and we find ourselves unsure of how to guide them or explain to them what the Catholic Church teaches or believes in. In an effort to help you explain to your spouse, relative or friend who is not Catholic, the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church, I would like to invite you and your spouse, relative or friend who may not be Catholic, to a Night of Inquiry.

The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Team and I will be present at Saint Jude Church on Tuesday, September 4th at 7:00PM. I encourage you to take this opportunity to join us for an evening of questions and answers about the Catholic Faith. There will be no pressure to do any more than that.

Please understand that your attendance at the Night of Inquiry does not constitute any commitment on your part, and you may feel free to bring along with you any one you wish. Or, if you or someone you know would prefer to speak to me in person about the Catholic Faith, or if you are unable to attend the Night of Inquiry, but you know of someone who is still interested in the RCIA process, please don’t hesitate to email me at rgorski@stjudenh.com or to give me a call at 768-1936.

Please pray for David McAllister whose funeral was held on Tuesday, July 31st at St. Jude Parish. May God grant him eternal rest and may our prayers and support comfort his family.

OUR LADY OF HOPE HOUSE OF PRAYER

Our Lady of Hope House of Prayer (located in New Ipswich, NH) provides time and space to persons of all faiths and walks of life in search of a deeper relationship with the Lord. Guests will experience an atmosphere of cordial hospitality in a haven of respectful and quiet solitude, where daily opportunities for personal and communal prayer are available including the Eucharist, Divine Office, and Adoration.

Our Lady of Hope House of Prayer will be offering several programs for individuals seeking to deepen their relationship with the Lord, including:

Seeking God in All Things - September 21-23, 2018 (Registration Deadline: September 7, 2018) We would be amazed at how many ways God is present to us every day! All too often, our full and busy lives make it easy to miss out on experiencing God’s loving presence in everyday things. Our daily lives become very different when we are able to feel God present to us in all things. Seeking God in all things is a profound experience of love that not only changes us, it changes the way we see everything around us. This quiet and reflective weekend is an opportunity for us to experience different ways to open our contemplative hearts so that we can encounter God’s loving presence in all things. Join us as we awaken our contemplative spirits through Lectio Divina, centering prayer, quiet reflection, and song. Cost: $160 (includes $40 registration fee)

Relax And Knit - September 28 – 30, 2018 (Registration Deadline: Sept. 14, 2018) Join the Holy Knitters Prayer Shawl Ministry as we joyfully share in the care of God's people by using the gifts of our hands to knit or crochet sacred prayer shawls. Basic knitting or crocheting skills are a prerequisite for this retreat. A detailed list of required materials will be provided upon registration. Whether you will be making your first shawl or you are a seasoned prayer shawl disciple, you will experience helpful assistance and wonderful fellowship in a beautiful, prayerful setting. Cost: $160 (includes $40 registration fee)

Loss and Living - October 12-14, 2018 (Registration Deadline: September 28, 2018) Loss is a natural part of living. We are constantly changing as we grow older, and change in varying degrees is a loss. We experience other more dramatic losses through deaths, moves, illness and accidents. How do we cope with these events? Is our God part of these experiences? God wants to be. Can we let Him? Come away for a quiet, prayerful weekend to learn more about yourself, your experiences of loss and ways of coping. There will be input and interactive conversation but only to the extent you feel comfortable. Please bring your Bible. Cost: $160 (includes $40 registration fee)

For further information, or for reservations, please visit http://www.ourladyhope.org or contact Sisters Rita Pay or Suzanne Rivard, p.m., at olhope1@yahoo.com or 603-878-2346.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In 1794, a young Irishwoman befriended two widows aboard ship while emigrating to America. They bought a house in Philadelphia and began to live a community life under the direction of a priest. Soon they relocated to Washington. There, the “pious ladies,” as the neighbors called them, were asked by their priest friend, by then the president of Georgetown University, to begin a religious community. In 1799 they established a branch of the Visitation Order founded by Saint Jane de Chantal and Saint Francis de Sales in the 1620s. The unique vision of this order followed a sensible routine, less arduous and more flexible than most traditions, and also accepted widows and older women. Amazingly, this American outpost of the Visitation began without reference to the “rule” of the Order. Most of the European convents had been lost under the “reign of terror,” and the rules and customs of the community could not be obtained. A copy of the rule was discovered in 1812, and in 1816 the pope officially established the monastery. By then, some French nuns had regrouped, and they sent a habit and cross to be copied. (No religious wore the habit in public in the United States until after the Civil War.) From the beginning, the Georgetown nuns had an educational mission, even though they discovered in the “rule” that such work was officially off-limits for the contemplative life. In America, the nuns depended on a school for their livelihood, so the rule was adapted. Today, the Academy of the Visitation is a thriving example of excellence in Catholic education, and the adjacent monastery is the oldest monastic foundation in the original thirteen United States. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
