Thank you, Parish Family!
Do you spend time, every day, alone and in silence listening to how God is calling you? If not, you are missing out on a wonderful opportunity to develop a more personal relationship with Him. Unless we talk and more importantly, listen to God every day,
how else will we know how He is calling us? Consider making a retreat this year; spend some “alone” time with God.

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Most are familiar with the scriptural quote from Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd. There is noth-ing I shall want.” This passage serves as the Re-sponsorial Psalm on this 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time because it supports the other readings with
two key ideas: that we must place our trust in the Lord, and that we inherit life from our Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. At the time St. Paul was writing his Letter to the Ephesians (our Second Reading), Paul was under house arrest in Rome and await-ing trial. He was allegedly accused by the Jews of taking a Gentile into a temple. Therefore, part of Paul’s statement, “For he (Christ) is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its command-ments and legal claims,” is saying essentially the Lordship of Jesus is greater then any difference you may feel you have with others — that Jesus is our Savior and our Shepherd. In the Gospel Reading from Mark, the idea of shepherding lies at the heart. “When he (Jesus) disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.” In other words, He began to feed them with the Word of God. That is what we do during this part of our Mass; we hear Holy Scripture. These are the Words of the Lord. He is our shepherd. We are His sheep. As always, Jesus teaches us a valuable lesson about steward-ship through today’s readings. To the Lord, the needs of others were more important than His own. When we share our time, our talents, and our treasure, we are not only following our Good Shepherd, we are also living His Gospel call to shepherd others by giving of our-selves.

WE NEED USHERS FOR ALL MASSES! Currently, we are short 4 positions for the 5:30PM Mass. The 8:00AM and the 10:30AM Sunday Masses are both short one Usher each. With 4 teams, we rotate so that each person serves just once a month. Since we are dealing with children, all Ushers are required to take a one-time Virtus training class lasting 3 hours and undergo a background check at no cost to the Usher as the parish pays all expenses. The next Vir-tus training is scheduled for July 26 at 6:00PM at St. Fran-cis Church in Brunswick. To serve, the person must also be registered in the parish. The Usher position is open to both men and women, from high school graduates to older adults.
