Adult Faith Formation (FORMED) Sign-up to FORMED. Go to formed.org and
sign up for free, where you will find faith for-
mation programs, Bible studies, Catholic-themed
movies, and e-books, and much more. All you
need is the following parish access code:
NJQRFV. Formed can be compared to Netflix
for Catholics, but it is so much more! Now the
best Catholic study programs, movies, audio
presentations, and eBooks from the most trusted
apostolate are all just a click away!
As summer begins, we would like to
remind everyone of the proper dress
for Sunday Mass. What may be appropriate for the
beach or for outdoor activities is not necessarily ap-
propriate at Mass. It used to be that Christians wore
their “SUNDAY BEST” when they came to church.
Today, in our more casual society we may not dress
formally for Mass, but we should dress properly out of
respect for God and the sensitivities of others attend-
ing mass as well.

Under the Bush by Tríona Doherty
When a prophet sits under a bush, it’s usually a sign that things
are not going well! At a particularly low moment in his relation-
ship with God, the prophet Jonah sits, in an angry sulk, under a
bush. While there he encounters God and learns a valuable les-
son about mercy.
In today’s first reading, it is the prophet Elijah who sits under a
bush. He is on his last legs, having escaped into the desert to
avoid capture and death. At this low point, a day’s journey into
the wilderness, he has had enough. He finds himself begging
God to take his life.
It is a moment that will speak to many of us, particularly those
of us facing struggles. Things can get on top of us. We some-
times feel alone, that our road is all uphill, that we are in the wil-
derness and there is nothing to do but give up. Yet when Elijah
is at his lowest point, even getting ready to die, he finds he is not
alone. The comforting presence of God is with him, offering
sustenance to help him on his journey.
Elijah’s response to God is at first reluctant; he lies straight back
down again. But with a second round of encouragement (and
some more food) he is on his feet and able to continue his jour-
ney, replenished and renewed. At the moment he felt the most
abandoned and alone, God was closer than ever.
BULLETIN ITEMS:
Items you wish to place in the parish bulletin MUST be
submitted, in writing, to parish office or email by 12pm
on Tuesdays for the following Sunday. Email address is:
“Love is the most necessary of all virtues. Love in
the person who preaches the word of God is like fire
in a musket. If a person were to throw a bullet with
his hands, he would hardly make a dent in anything;
but if the person takes the same bullet and ignites
some gunpowder behind it, it can kill. It is much the
same with the word of God. If it is spoken by some-
one who is filled with the fire of charity- the fire of
love of God and neighbor- it will work wonders.”
-St. Anthony Mary Claret
ACTS 2:38 - An elderly woman had just returned to
her home from an evening of religious service when
she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the
man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables,
she yelled, 'Stop -Acts 2:38!' (..turn from your sin...).
The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman
calmly called the police and explained what she had
done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in,
he asked the burglar, 'Why did you just stand there?
All she did was yell a scripture to you.' 'Scripture?'
replied the burglar, 'She said she had an AXE and
two 38's!'
