Parish Mission Statement
We, All Saints Parish, are drawn together by the power of
the Holy Spirit to be a living and convincing sign of God’s
unconditional love. We are gifted to build bonds among
ourselves and others in order to live the Gospel in word,
worship, community and service for the salvation of all
and the building of God’s kingdom.
Today's Gospel begins immediately after the final verse in last Sunday's Gospel. After strong language about the difficulties of discipleship, Jesus immediately appoints 72 people to go ahead of him to every town and place he plans to visit, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is at hand. He sends them in pairs. In the Law of Moses two witnesses were needed for a testimony to be credible. It was probably also a safer way to travel.

Classes are generally held on Sunday mornings after the 8:30 AM Mass.
Baptism of Infants: Parents requesting Baptism for their children should make
an appointment with the Pastor to begin the process. The months of preparation
before the birth of a child are the appropriate time to plan for the Sacrament.
Catholic Marriage: Diocesan Policy states that those considering celebrating
the Sacrament of Marriage must meet with the pastor at least six months before
any desired wedding date. Please call the office to schedule an appointment with
the Pastor.
Communion for the Homebound: We invite homebound parishioners who
wish to receive Holy Communion to call the office.
Hospital Visitation: Please notify the Parish Office if you or a loved one is
hospitalized as the hospital no longer notifies the parish. If a patient would like
to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation or Anointing of the Sick or if he or
she would just like a visit, please call the office to make arrangements.
Prayer for Life
Father and maker of all, you adorn all creation with splendor and beauty, and fashion human lives in
your image and likeness.
Awaken in every heart reverence for the work of your hands, and renew among your people a
readiness to nurture and sustain your precious gift of life.
Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, God Forever and ever. Amen.

to your parish in memory of a deceased loved one at the time of death or later on? It’s a beautiful

us to continue to accomplish the mission of Jesus and for the general upkeep of our parish
properties. Please consider this unique expression of giving in lieu of flowers, Mass cards and other
expressions. When making your Will, remember All Saints Parish & the good that can come
because of the legacy you leave your parish. Monetary donations would be gratefully appreciated if
made to the Parish Building Fund, The Christian Service Center, Parish Cemeteries or All Saints
Catholic School Education Fund, to be used by a family or families who need assistance with
sending their child to a Catholic School. Thank you.

CLEAN-UP DAY AT ALL SAINTS PARISH We will be conducting a clean-up day at All Saints on Saturday, July 23rd. There has been a large
collection of clutter that has accumulated over the years in the parish rectory, the church basement
and also the school basement. This clutter has been identified and will require moving it out of the
basement areas of each building ad into the dumpsters that we will be ordering for its proper
disposal.
WE NEED THE SERVICES OF SOME STRONG ARMS AND BACKS TO ASSIST IN THIS
WORK! If you are a physically healthy individual who is at least 12 years of age, we would
appreciate you helping us in this removal effort. The more people we have in this effort, the less
time it will take, however we are expecting it to take about two hours.
Water & light beverages will be available for proper hydration, and after completion of the chores a
lunch of hoagies and pizza will be available to all volunteers. Sign-up sheets are in the ramp area
and also in the back entrance of the church. You can also call the parish office during normal
business hours to volunteer for this effort. Please sugn-up as soon as you can so that we can order
enough liquids and food. all volunteers are asked to report to the holy Child School grounds at
10:45 AM on Saturday, July 23rd.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
BEREAVEMENT COMMITTEE REORGANIZATION MEETING – JULY 23RD The meeting opened with prayer by facilitator Marina Kopko, coordinator of the Community
Committee. Each attendee then provided a brief introduction which included number of years and
role with Bereavement. Core team member Audrey Kocher gave an overview, stressing the need
for new leadership after the passing of former chairman Ann Januszewski. The responsibilities of
the core team members, including the various pieces of correspondence which are sent to the
almost 100 families in the parish each year who have lost a loved one was explained, as well as the
planning of the annual Mass of Remembrance and reception in November. A majority of attendees
serve as volunteers who deliver gifts to the families, so there was a discussion of the types and cost
of the gifts which are given as well as how to sign the accompanying card indicating the gift is
given by the volunteer on behalf of the parish. Due to the large number of funerals, there is a need
for additional volunteers and for more prayer leaders for funeral home vigils and adult altar servers
for funeral Masses. Audrey has been serving as interim Bereavement chairman, but cannot continue
in that capacity. New member Sandy Bonawits stepped forward to coordinate these responsibilities.
She will sort through the materials formerly held by Ann and will work with Audrey to transition to
her new role.
