The Catholic Church is the Church founded by Jesus
Christ; it is the same Church mentioned in the New
Testament of the Christian Bible. The term "Catholic"
means "according to the whole;" it was used early in the
Church's history to distinguish her from a number of
other gatherings whose teachings and practices were not
true to the authoritative teachings of Christ's apostles. All
human persons are invited and encouraged to accept the
salvation offered by Jesus through His one, holy, catholic
and apostolic Church by living the sacramental life offered
by the Catholic Church. It is the mission of Our Lady of
the Prairie Catholic Church to offer this life to the people
of Belle Plaine, Minnesota and its environs.
If you would like to become Catholic, please contact Fr.
Brian Lynch in person or by email at: [email protected].
Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 21, 2019
A Message from our
Deacon
WHAT IS A RETREAT? A Retreat is a time apart, to keep from coming apart.
A Retreat is a time to learn to love and experience of being
loved.
A Retreat is a flower that longs to be smelled and seen,
because it's beauty is ours.
A Retreat is a time to let God be us.
A Retreat is a time to look at the stars.
A Retreat is a trip into love.
A Retreat is an experience of adding un--to conditional love.
A Retreat is a retreat of ourselves.
A Retreat is God.
A Retreat is God Incarnate.
A Retreat is the Arms of God longing to hug us.
A Retreat is God's beckoning Love.
A Retreat is God whispering loudly.
A Retreat is Love waiting to happen.
A Retreat is Love of God for us.
A Retreat is love of self.
A Retreat is the key to peace.
A Retreat can change your life.
There are two great retreat places to make your retreat.

They have many different kinds of retreats. Some men only,
some women only, some for couples and some silent
retreats. Give them a call to obtain more information. You'll
wonder why you didn't make a retreat before.
PEACE and Happy Summer!

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL UPDATE
As of July 9th, we have reached our 2019 Catholic Services Ap-
peal goal! Thank you to the 123 OLP families who participated
in supporting the 20 ministries that receive funding through the
CSA Foundation.
If you have not yet turned in your 2019 pledge and wish to help
out the 20 ministries that receive funding, there are additional
appeal envelopes at the back of the church or at the parish of-
fices. Feel free to drop off completed envelopes at the parish
offices or simply drop them in the Sunday offertory collection
basket.
As a reminder, since we have achieved our goal, OLP will receive
a rebate of 25% of the funds collected. Thanks again to all who
have participated in this appeal.
To learn more about the CSAF and the 20 ministries it helps to
support, please visit them at csafspm.org
Come check out the new format of the CCW Meeting, Thurs-day, August 1, 7:00 pm. Be sure to sign up for the evenings drawing!
SOCK DRIVE Catholic United Financial is having their 2nd
annual Sock Drive! Please bring new socks of
any size to be donated to those in need. Box
Meet Fr. Jose Putenparambil
Fr. Jose Putenparambil, from the
poorest Catholic diocese of Kerala,
India, will be at Our Lady of the
Prairie parish for a mission appeal
at all the Masses on the weekend
of August 10th and 11th. His dio-
cese is made up of the former low
caste and Untouchable people. The
Indian government does not provide any benefits for poor
Christians so the diocese has to try to provide for their needs
as they are able. Most only have day jobs which they call cool-
ie workers. Recently, India just re-elected a strong Hindu who
believes that all of India should be Hindu so the Christians are
concerned about further persecution. India is 80% Hindu
There will be a display of Fr. Jose's diocese in the back of
the church and he would love to talk to people after Mass.
FAMILIES MOVING FORWARD Our Lady of the Prairie will again participate in the Families
Moving Forward program when it hosts 4 homeless families
during the week of July 28th through August 4th. You can vol-
unteer by either making contact with the church office or by
signing up on line by using this browser:

This effort would be a wonderful way for each of us to live the
Gospel of Matthew.
