RECAP of THE OBJECTIVES of
HOLY MARTYRS SMALL GROUPS
1) WE STRIVE TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST.
“Living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined
and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body’s growth
and builds itself up in love.” - Ephesians 4:15-16
Our goal is not to remain the same, but to change – to become our best selves and to conform our lives more
closely to that of Christ.
2) WE STRIVE TO CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
This is how
all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35
This “love” is manifested in many ways in our Small Groups, from compassionate listening, to support in times of
need, to praying for each other regularly.
3) WE STRIVE TO KEEP CHRIST AT THE CENTER OF OUR SMALL GROUPS.
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20
Our format keeps us focused on Jesus Christ, who is at the center of every small group. We use the weekly Gospel
message as one means of encountering Christ. Although we enjoy a time of fellowship, our gatherings stay “on
topic”, as we discuss our faith.
4) WE STRIVE TO PRAY REGULARLY FOR ONE ANOTHER.
“… We do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual
wisdom and understanding to live in a manner worthy of the Lord …” Colossians 1:9-10
Prayer is an amazing gift to offer to another person! We pray together at Small Groups and continue to give each
other the gift of prayer, beyond our Small Group gatherings.
5) WE STRIVE TO GROW IN FAITH.
“But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and to the day of
eternity.” 2Peter 3:18
We seek to continually grow in knowledge and understanding of our Catholic faith and in the person of Jesus.
The content of our Small Group sessions and the life experience of the group members have greatly enriched and
expanded our faith.
6) WE STRIVE TO ALWAYS WELCOME NEW SMALL GROUP MEMBERS.
“Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God.” - Romans 15:7
A key value of Holy Martyrs’ Small Groups is that every person who joins a group will feel welcomed, valued, and
cared for. We are open to others and welcome them as we would welcome Christ Himself.

An Invitation
In about a month our choir will resume
rehearsals and singing weekly at the
9:30am Mass. Have you ever considered becoming a
member of our choir, or could you share your musical
talent as a song leader or instrumentalist at any of the
weekend Masses? We are looking for new (and returning)
singers and instrumentalists to participate in and
enhance our music ministry. Prior musical experience is a
plus but is not a requirement. All that is needed is a de-
sire to learn and an enthusiasm to elevate our
communal prayer at Mass through music. The choir will
be hosting a picnic at the pavilion on the parish
grounds on Sunday, August 27 from 1:00-400 pm.
All current and former choir members along with their
spouse, as well as those interested in joining the
choir are invited to attend. For more information feel
free to contact our Music Director, Christopher Ilg at
Living with Loss
Are you struggling to find peace in dealing with
the loss of a loved one? Perhaps you may find the
information in one of the CareNotes helpful.
CareNotes may be found on the counter behind
the Welcome Center in the Gathering Area.

A GRATEFUL GIVING REMINDER
Three years ago, the people of Holy Martyrs responded
generously to the request for a deeper commitment to
our weekly offering to support the ministries and work
of our parish. That commitment made it possible to hire
a full-time Youth Minister, to expand our Life Teen and
Spirit programs for youth, and to develop Discovering
Christ and small Faith Groups for adults. The benefit of
these programs to our parish has been profound. In the
past year alone, over 500 adults and teens have taken
part.
Your weekly support of our parish through the Sunday
Offering and electronic giving makes all this possible.
Your continued support is vital to their success. Summer
is a busy time for many families in our parish. No matter
where your plans take you, please remember your parish
during these Summer months.
“In gratitude we return to God a share of the blessings
God has given us. Giving lets us share in the
work of Jesus Christ.”
Attention all Men of the Parish

10 Things Pope Francis Wants You to Know About the Family (part IV)
Grandparents: “The richness of memory”
My family has dinner every Sunday at my home. We have made it a part of the dinner conversation to share a story about
my childhood or about my parents or about my grandchildren’s parents. Some of the stories are funny, many are
embarrassing and many of the stories we share provide opportunities for everyone to dig deeper into how we as people
learn to be responsible for helping others come to know the stories of Jesus. Diane Bruce
Pope Francis shares a story about how one family treated its elderly. The father of the family, Francis said, had their
grandfather sit at a different table during the dinner because he would get food all over his face when he ate and would
disturb everyone else. One day, the father of the family came home and found his son playing with a piece of wood.
“What are you making?“ the father asked. “A table,” the son replied. “Why” the father asked. “It’s for you, Dad, when you’re
old like Grandpa,” he said. “This story has done me such good throughout my life,” said the Pope.
“Grandparents are a treasure. Often old age isn’t pretty, right? There is sickness and all that, but the wisdom our
grandparents have is something we must welcome as an inheritance.” (continued next week)

Offered at Jesuit Retreat House in Parma. Keeping Green with Hildegard of Bingen. August 8- 9. 8:30 am -3:00 pm.
Presented by Kim Langley, M.Ed. Hildegard has been called one of the most important women of her age, and described as
the “Sibyl of the Rhine” for her wisdom, and influential writings. We will dip into her fresh and nearly modern writings,
explore her positive spirituality which focused on the “greening” of the soul, and have quiet time to rest and reflect. Imagine
the refreshment of spirit to be gained from spending a retreat with Hildegard, who said “The earth of humankind contains
all moisture, all verdancy, all germinating power. It is in so many ways fruitful.” Together we will hope to participate in the
fruitfulness of this extraordinary woman. Cost: $135 / Commuters: $90 (both days).
