FAITH
How do we keep faith alive? One way is to be with others
who are striving to live their faith, each in their own way.
Perhaps a good reason to come to church! We could say
our prayers at home alone, but we would not be sharing
Eucharist, the living Christ who feeds our hungers. We
also need the good example of our brothers and sisters in
faith. Sometimes the best sermons at Mass are the people
around us. We look around us and see good, faithful,
ordinary people. They come because they see some
meaning in our worshiping together. As we come together,
let us thank one another for being here. Seem silly? Not at
all, for our presence to each other can offer hope and
courage and care and inspiration as we strive to live our
faith in a complex world.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
WITH SINCERE APPRECIATION
Thank you to our parish and cemetery staff who

remove fallen trees! You efforts are noticed and
truly appreciated!
Saint of the Week On August 8th we celebrate the Memorial of St. Dominic (1170-
1221). Born in Spain, he was ordained a priest in his late 20’s. In
the early 12th c. Dominic sensed the need for the Church to
combat the Albigensian heresy, and was commissioned to be part
of the preaching crusade against it. He saw immediately why the
preaching was not succeeding, Dominic therefore, with three
Cistercians, began itinerant preaching according to the gospel
ideal. His fellow preachers gradually became a community, and
in 1215 he founded a religious house at Toulouse, the beginning
of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). Today there are over
6,000 Dominican priest, brothers, and sisters throughout the
world. St. Dominic was canonized in 1234. He is the patron saint
of astronomers. To learn more about Catholic Saints visit:

A PRAYER
Lord, stir up the faith within me that I may practice
it, protect it, and love it. Train me in the way of
faith making me sure of what I hope for and certain
about what I do not see. Help my faith to be a
living faith of service that is always accompanied by
action and good works. Amen.
