A Message From the Pastor
St. Louis Family,
From our readings this week, we begin to understand that because of sin, sickness
and death have entered the world. But sin is overcome through the resurrection of
Jesus. He hears the cry of the in need, healing the sick and raising the dead to life.
He made himself poor that we might become rich. May we always give thanks to
our Lord for all that He has done for us.
What a wonderful celebration we had last weekend at Deacon Ron Freyer’s
Ordination and reception. Thanks to Ron for saying yes to the call and to all of
those who made the time to celebrate his great day.
I think I have mentioned before that my mom is in a nursing home. I will be visiting
her and my family in Des Moines, Iowa this week. I’ll be back for next weekend
masses. Have a good week.
Peace,
Fr. Randy

Scripture From Christ Renews His Parish All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son
except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to
whom the Son wishes to reveal him. “Come to me, all you who labor and are
burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I
am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is
easy, and my burden light.”
Matthew 11:27-30

Religious Education and Sunday School Registrations Due All children in grades K through 12
should be in a formal religion class as
part of their lifelong faith formation
process. Classes are offered on
Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm.
Religion readiness classes for children in
Kindergarten, Pre K (children ready for
kindergarten in fall of 2013), and
Preschool, (children going to
kindergarten in 2014) are offered on
Sunday mornings during the 9:30am
Mass. Registration forms for next year’s
Religious Education Program are located
in the back of church and should be
turned in as soon as possible. Payment
is due by the first class, August 15th. No
child is turned away from Religious
Education classes because of financial
difficulties. If you have a conflict with
the times the program is offered, please
contact Terri Meyer to work out an
alternative. You may reach the religious
education office at 934-3204.
PLEASE REGISTER NOW if you are
interested in any of these classes.
Materials must be ordered now to get
them in time for the first class.
The Family and Parish Partnership Families and parish have a partnership in the responsibility of forming children in
the four pillars of the Catholic faith: creed, sacraments, Christian life and prayer.
A child’s first teachers are his parents. Parents need to participate in the teaching
of these standards, thereby enriching their own faith through catechizing their
children. But by being baptized into the community of faith the entire parish
becomes responsible for the education of these children in the faith. According to
the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “The whole ecclesial community bears some
responsibility for the development and safeguarding of the grace given at
Baptism.”(CCC1255) Are you ready to assist parents in their role as catechists?
Volunteers are needed to help in the religious education program on Wednesday
evenings between 6:30 and 7:45 and on Sunday mornings during the 9:30 Mass
for the preschool program. Assistants are also needed. Please consider sharing
your time and talent with the future of our church. Call Terri Meyer at 934-3204
for further information.
The United States Bishops have asked that the American
people put aside a fortnight - the 14 days from June 21
(the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas
More) to July 4 (Independence Day) and dedicate it as a
“Fortnight for Freedom”—a great hymn of prayer for our
country. The liturgical calendar celebrates a series of
great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of
persecution by political power—St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, St. John the
Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome – during
these 14 days. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer,
study, catechesis, and public action will emphasize both our Christian and
American heritage of liberty. Prayers, reflections and ideas on how to celebrate
this fortnight can be found on the website: fortnight4freedom.org.
Need Prayer? Prayer needs are addressed in two ways at St. Louis. In the vestibule of church is
a Prayer Request Notebook where anyone, at any time, can write prayer concerns.
The Members of the Prayer and Praise Ministry commit to praying daily for these
intentions. Additionally, on the first Sunday of the month, those requests are
mentioned in the Prayers of the Faithful. For more urgent prayer needs (illness,
surgery, etc.) there is a Prayer Chain that will get dozens of people praying
immediately. To begin the Prayer Chain, please call one of the following:
Janice Werner, 932-9200 ; Erma Hartman, 934-3678; or Viola Fullenkamp, 934-3316
Ministry of Prayer and Praise Intentions for June That as we celebrate the Fourth of July, God will strengthen and bless America
and make our nation a beacon of liberty and justice to the world.
That we may always remember that freedom is the right to follow God’s way,
not the license to do what we want.
That in this season of vacations we may find rest for body and soul in the
beauty of our woods, mountains, lakes and seacoasts, as we discover anew
God’s lavish gifts to us.
That the children of our country may grow in grace and joy, experiencing the
warmth of God’s love for them in the setting of family life.
That those whom God is calling to the priesthood and religious life may
respond eagerly in faith and generosity, and find support in their families and
friends.
That all who suffer from terminal illness may find strength in their oneness
with Christ dying on His cross and in the compassionate love of His Mother
who stood close to Him to the end.
Prayer for a New Archbishop
O God, eternal Shepherd who
governs your flock with
unfailing care, bless the
Church in central and
southern Indiana with a new
archbishop who will please
You by his holiness and show
us your watchful care. We
ask this through our Lord
Jesus, Christ, Your Son, who
lives and reigns with You in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
