I will be leading a pilgrimage to Poland on
Monday, July 17 thru Tuesday, July 25, 2017. We
will visit the holy sites in Warsaw, Czestochowa,
Krakow, and Wadowice, the birthplace of St. John
Paul II. We will also visit the congregation of the
Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, where St. Faustina entered the
convent, the Franciscan monastery founded by St. Maximillian
Kolbe, we will see the Black Madonna, and tour Auschwitz.
Brochures are available in the office. Please contact me for more
information. I hope you will join us for the Family Life Park Day on
Saturday, August 20 from Noon to 4:00 PM at Kiwanis Park, picnic
shelter 3, near Zahra Baker Playground. Bring a picnic lunch and
share fellowship with parishioners and friends. The Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary on Monday, August 15 is not a Holy Day
of Obligation this year. We will have Mass in the church at 9:00 AM
to honor the Mother of our Lord.
– Sincerely Yours in Christ
Fr. Larry LoMonaco

Stewardship Thought: In today’s second reading, St. Paul
encourages us not to grow weary or lose heart, but to persevere in
following Jesus. Our willingness to give of ourselves, even in the
face of conflict and division, is one way to measure our discipleship.
20TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE ASSUMPTION
Monday, August 15th is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
As it falls on a Monday this year, the Holy Day is not a day of
obligation. We will have one Mass to honor our Blessed Mother at

XX DOMINGO ORDINARIO
Jesús padeció y murió para que hubiera gozo después.

CATHOLIC MEDIA
Dynamic Catholic’s mission is to re-energize the Catholic Church in
America by developing world-class resources that inspire people to
rediscover the genius of Catholicism. Each month Dynamic
Catholic will be offering FREE CDS or books by different speakers
and authors. This month’s free CD is The Jesus Question. Some
will say, I already know Jesus. Here is a bigger question - does
Jesus know you? On Saturday, September 3rd, after the 5:15 PM
Mass, a partial distribution of The Jesus Question will be given
out to those who ask, reserving a supply for the other Masses.
Come and browse and you will find additional spiritual titles on your
faith-driven parish kiosk which will be located near the inside
entrance to Holy Family Hall. Looking forward to serving the parish
throughout the fall, winter, and spring! For more information, call
Barbara Speers at 495-7405.

CHURCH HUMOR!
A little girl was in church with her mother when she started feeling
sick. “Mommy,” she said, “can we leave now?” “No,” her mother
replied. “Well, I think I’m going to be sick!” Then go out the front
door and around to the back of the church and throw up behind a
bush.” After about a minute, the little girl returned to her seat. “Did
you throw up?” her mother asked. “Yes.” “How could you have
gone all the way to the back of the church and returned so
quickly?” “I didn’t have to go out of the church, Mommy. They have
a box next to the front door that says, ‘For the Sick’.”

PLEASE PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS
At the heart of our Faith Formation Program is
the dedication of our Catechists (teachers) and
aides and their willingness to share their faith
with the children and youth of St. Aloysius.
Every week, we need 70 catechists and aides for
our Faith Formation Program. We are VERY BLESSED AND
EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to those who have already
volunteered to be catechists. 70% of our catechists return year
after year and we couldn’t do it without them. BUT…Classes
start on Sunday, September 11 or Wednesday, September 14
and we are still in need of volunteers for both days and all
grade levels. If you think God might be calling you to this
rewarding ministry, please call Monica Ebelhack at 828-3272341 for more information or for any questions you might have.
Thank you in advance!
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
St. Aloysius will again be offering “Catechesis of the Good
Shepherd” for our young parishioners from ages 3 to 6. These
sessions will meet on Tuesday afternoons next year from 1:00 to
2:30 and will follow the Faith Formation schedule. Space is limited
to 15 children and registration will be done on a first come, first
served basis. If you would like to register your child, please
use the Faith Formation registration form and write in
“Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.”
R.C.I.A. or
“How Does One Become a Catholic”?
Many Catholics are born into Catholic families and gradually
come to share in the full sacramental life of the Church. Others,
who have been previously baptized in a non-Catholic Christian
Church, have become Catholics after participating in a
formation process that leads to a profession of faith and the
celebration of the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.
And some, never baptized, are initiated through a formation
process that leads to the celebrations of Baptism, Confirmation
and Eucharist. All sacraments are celebrated at the Easter Vigil
celebrated by the Catholic community. The Catholic Church
warmly welcomes new members and tries to provide an
atmosphere of spiritual formation according to each person's
needs. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the
Church's way of initiating new members. Our new year of
R.C.I.A. sessions will begin on Wednesday, September 14. We
meet from 7:00 to 8:15 PM in the Parlor. If interested, or if you
have any questions, please call Monica Ebelhack at the parish
office – 828-327-2341 or email: [email protected]
.
NEXT MONTH
Our annual flip flop drive will be during the month of
September. This is a good time to get some on sale – Fred’s Store
in Bethlehem on Highway 127 has currently marked theirs down to
$1.00. Remember, only flip flops for adults this year are needed.
Questions? Call Evelyn Walz at 328-3323.
