VOCATION VIEWS:
“Your ways, O Lord, make
known to me; teach me your paths.” The paths of the Lord
lead to eternal life, if we but have the courage to walk
where He leads. (Psalm 25:4)
Next weekend is Respect Life Sunday. I believe
that many of the moral principles that undergird the
Church’s teaching on Respect for Life form a moral approach to immigration, as well. As you’ve heard me say on
various occasions many issues are both moral and political.
For instance, who can deny that abortion is both political
and moral? That is why we Catholics should strive to form
our conscience on these and all matter s of mor al consequence.
Too often we “take a stand” without doing the
tough work of examining what moral principles underlie my
“take”. We allow the rhetoric of talk radio or some other
source to form our conscience without even stopping to look
at the hierarchy of values that are in play. Forming a Catholic conscience means giving first place in the chaos of voices to the voice of the Church. When a Catholic says, “I
don’t agree with the Church” on this or that, what value or
values do you put higher than the values the Church lifts up?
It means measuring my “take” against Catholic moral principles; not measuring Catholic moral principles against my
opinion.
If this is something that you want to explore further, I will be giving an overview on what is uniquely Catholic about scripture, morality, and spirituality in a series of
three classes in October. You’ll find more info elsewhere in
the bulletin.
On Oct. 27 I’ll be at St. John’s, West Chester addressing the Catholic Church’s approach to immigration,
both internationally and nationally. I’m sure they’d welcome anyone from St. Julie Billiart. Unlike a homily, this
forum, though, allows for responses and questions.

Several years ago Fr. Mike offered a series entitled
“A Catholic Approach to Scripture, Sacraments and
Spirituality, and Morality”. He will be offering them
again. The purpose of the three-part series is to highlight the uniquely Catholic approach to these three
areas. Many Catholics approach these areas of Christianity with points of view they have picked up from
the more Protestant atmosphere of the U.S. The goal
is not to enter into polemics but to clarify differences.
Obviously, this will be the most superficial of studies
so that another goal is to offer resources for continued study. Because this will be a cursory look, it
makes no claim to be the only way to look at these
areas with Catholic eyes.
The sessions will be offered in the “St. Stephen
Hall” of the Fenmont from 7:00 to 8:30 on the following days:
A Catholic Approach to Scripture
Thursday, Oct. 23
A Catholic Approach to Sacraments and Spirituality
Thursday, Oct. 30
A Catholic Approach to Morality
Thursday, Nov. 13

NATIONAL LIFE CHAIN
SUNDAY October 5, 2014
2:00—3:00pm
HAVE YOU WALKED INTO A CHURCH ON A
SUNDAY MORNING AND REALLY FELT
WELCOMED?ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A
SMALL EFFORT TO MAKE ST. JULIE BILLIART
THAT KIND OF PARISH?
First impressions last. What is a visitor’s first impression
when walking in the door for Sunday Mass? Hospitality
involves a diversity of ministries: Lectors, Extraordinary
Ministers of Holy Communion, choir, priest, deacon, people who assist with the collection, and GREETERS. A
greeter, simply enough, is someone who helps the per son walking through the door feel welcome. You can be
an individual, couple of friends, or a family. You need to
know some basic information about our buildings and
about “who’s who” so as to answer questions. But most of
all, you need to put yourself in the person’s shoes and consider, “What will make him/her/them feel like they not
only belong, but have been expected?”
Earlier in the year as part of her Lay Ministry Program
Mary Richter presented a workshop about becoming a
more welcoming parish and now we want to get ourselves
organized to do just that. If you ar e inter ested please
join us on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21 [note changed date]
from 7:00 to 8:00. If you have questions, contact Fr .
Mike.
Dear Moms and Dads, In
our attempt to make St.
Julie’s Parish ever more
family friendly, we are
considering starting up a
nursery during one of our
weekend Masses. In order to make it work, we would have
to have enough families interested and enough volunteers.
Is this something your family would
benefit from? It would be for
children ages 6mo through 2nd
grade.
Please contact Tami Urcia in the
Family Ministry Office to express
your thoughts. 513-863-1040 or
[email protected]
Meet in front of the Butler County
Government Services Center at
1:45pm to get a sign provided by
Butler County Right to Life. We will
space ourselves out from each corner at the intersection
of High Street and Martin Luther King for a prayerful silent
witness.
Defend human life against abortion. Pray for the 950+
Life Chains in the U.S. and Canada.

How about YOU?
Yep, YOU! We would love some help with our
classes for PREP. Could you be a substitute
catechist? A co-catechist? A guest speaker? A
mentor? A craft helper? An office helper? The
opportunities to use your gifts are limitless!
Come join in on the fun! Call the Parish Office
to offer your help

XXVI DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
LEER: Ezequiel 18:25-28, Salmo 24,
Filipenses 2:1-11, Mateo 21:28-32
MISA Y PROCESIÓN PARA
LA FIESTA DE
SAN MIGUEL ARCANGEL
El lunes, 29 de septiembre es
la fiesta de San Miguel Arcangel. Como es de costumbre, tendremos una procession y una misa especial.
La procesión va a empezar en
el Fenmont a las 7:30pm y
celebramos la Misa inmediatamente después a las
8:00pm.
¡Todos están cordialmente invitados!
COMITÉ REGIONAL
Dentro de los próximos tres años habrá un solo párroco para las tres parroquias: Santa Julia de Billiart, San
Pedro en Cadenas, y San José. Eso es debido a los pocos
sacerdotes que se ordenan estos días. Este cambio está
ocurriendo no solamente en Hamilton, ni solamente en la
Arquidiócesis de Cincinnati, sino en todo el país.
Sin duda habrá cambios para todos. Podría ser en la
frecuencia de las Misas dominicales. Podría ser en el tiempo que el nuevo párroco tendrá disponibles para los feligreses de cada parroquia. Podría ser en las finanzas. En
este momento no se sabe nada con certeza.
Para preparar para ese día se está formando un comité
de representantes de las tres parroquias. Es importante
que haya un representante de la Comunidad Hispana. Se
busca una persona que:
• Esté cómoda participando en reuniones en inglés
• Tenga tiempo disponible en la tarde (generalmente a
las 7pm)
• Pueda dedicar tiempo para escuchar las inquietudes
de la Comunidad Hispana y darle a conocer el trabajo
del comité.
• Esté dispuesto a leer unos pocos documentos.
Se espera que el comité se reunirá no más que
una vez al mes por los próximos tres años. Si le gustaría
formar parte del comité o si tiene preguntas acerca de
ello, hable con el P. Mike. Muchas Gracias.

Jesucristo a través de su Madre Inmaculada.
