Good afternoon everyone! Attached is our bulletin for this Sunday, July 24th, the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, and a reflection from Fr. Canisius. This weekend we pray especially for grandparents and the elderly on the Second World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly which we observe on Sunday (see the special message from Pope Francis attached below)
God of mercy,
you have given your children the gift of long life,
and they ask for your blessing.
Let them feel the tenderness and strength
of your presence.
As they look back to the past,
let them rejoice in your mercy.
As they look to the future,
may they persevere in hope that does not fade.
To you be praise and glory for ever.
Amen.
Wednesday Evening Spanish Mass
Our Wednesday evening Mass will resume on August 3rd at 7:00pm, but will now be celebrated in Spanish. Confessions will be heard, as usual, beginning at 6:00pm.
Nuestra misa de los miércoles por la noche se reanudará el 3 de agosto a las 7p.m. y ahora se celebrará en español. Las confesiones se escucharán a partir de las 6:00p.m.
We learned this week of the passing of two long-time parishioners, Charlie Klein and Barbara Sullivan. Please keep them in your prayers, and pray for their families as they mourn their loss.
Exciting News for July:
A Fresh Way to Support our Food Pantry
Nothing brightens a room more than fresh flowers. And this month you can pick up a bouquet and support our food pantry at the same time! The more Bloomin' 4 Good bouquets sold, the more money donated, and the more people we can feed! So ask your friends, relatives, and neighbors to help our food pantry by making their floral purchases at our Giant. Just look for the purple tag, and help us help our neighbors in need! Shoppers and supporters have raised $73 for St. Charles Borromeo Parish Food Pantry so far!
