July 24th: Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time
FROM THE PASTOR…
Dear Parishioners,
This weekend, we welcome Sister Esther and Sister Dollie of the Hospitaller
Sisters of Mercy, as they visit St. Raphael’s for the annual Summer Mission Appeal.
Many of our Catholic brothers and sisters around the world experience poverty
and injustice the likes of which we will never know. Jesus challenges us not to turn
away from them, but respond with generosity and hope.
Elsewhere in this bulletin is a page (printed horizontally) that describes the
good works done by the Hospitaller Sisters in various parts of the world. They clearly
reach out to those in need and extend the Gospel to them.
The Sisters’ specific form of service involves assisting “the least among us”
who suffer. They recognize in those individuals the
face of Christ himself. Aware of the high cost of medicine and medical care in our own country, we can
readily identify with the importance of their outreach
and how it enhances the dignity of the most vulnerable.
Today’s second collection (the collection after
Communion) will go to the Hospitaller Sisters to support their many good works. Please be as gene5rous
as you can, recognizing our Catholic responsibility to
build families of faith that reach out beyond national boundaries.
If you were not prepared for today’s appeal, but would like to lend a hand, the
collection will not be sent out before this coming Friday. Any late offerings can be
brought to the rectory office (or put through the rectory mail slot). Simply mark them
MISSION APPEAL or HOSPITALLER SISTERS, and we will see to it that your donation is added to the total. Many thanks.
-Father Jerry Jecewiz
P.S. In this bulletin are a couple of photos of a precious event that took place here July 9th: a retreat, in Spanish, for children. The talks were given by Sister Alice Michael and the music handled
by a children’s group, the Stars of Mary. About 100 children, plus their families, took part and
raved about the day. Thanks to our newly commissioned pastoral minister, Paul Casiano, and his
collaborators in our Vino Nuevo (New Wine) apostolate for organizing such a great experience.
