PREPARE TO HEAR GOD’S WORD
Readings for July 17, 2016
Genesis 18:1-10
At the hottest, least hospitable time of day,
Abraham goes out from the comfort and cool of his

simple work he and Sarah have their lives
transformed, touched by God’s promise.
Colossians 1:24-28
In witnessing to the great mystery of God’s
love in the Gospel, Paul discovers that his very
bodily living, even in suffering, is a way of service
and love.
Luke 10:38-42
In the Gospel we meet Jesus in a familiar,
domestic setting, with familiar household chores and
tensions.

MEMORIAL FLOWER FUND 2016
In your envelope packet you will see a special
envelope for the Memorial Flower Fund. What is the
Flower Fund? It’s a fund that began many years ago
to remember our departed loved ones by providing
fresh flowers for the church each week.
In addition to the flowers, the Worship
Commission has decided to help
memorialize our dearly departed with a
banner displayed in the Gathering
Space. So when filling out your Flower
Fund envelope for July, be sure to write
the name of the person you would like
to remember. Their name will be on the
banner when it’s displayed in mid-
August.
Thanks to all parishioners who have given to the
Flower Fund in the past, as well as those who have
donated to help ensure we have fresh flowers for
Christmas and Easter. They really do help beautify
our church and enhance our liturgy!

STEWARDSHIP OF FINANCE TERRI’S TIDBITS
SHOPPING CENTS
DID YOU KNOW THAT someone walked on the
newly painted and installed Parish Center floor?
Why? The repairs were made. We are waiting on the
costs for those repairs. The Parish Center is closed
and off limits till August 1. There will be a blessing
and tour for everyone to see the new floor in August.
More details to come. If you need something in the
Parish Center, please contact the Parish Office for
help.
DID YOU KNOW THAT parishioner, Maria
Dunlap, was awarded one of five Champions of
Mercy? Maria is the founder and executive director
of Vivian’s Victory. The organization is named for
her daughter Vivian, who lived 59 days. Vivian’s
Victory supports 100 parents of babies presented
with poor prenatal prognosis or a prolonged
diagnosis. Congratulations, Maria and thank you for
all you do.
DID YOU KNOW THAT the Parish Office will no
longer be collecting tuition for our students? The
school will now will collect tuition for all students.
We still will administer Help-A- Student funds.
DON’T FORGET THAT the Festival setup starts in
5 weeks! Please volunteer to help. The success of the
festival is dependent on people like you helping.
Thank you!
Major Retailers Want To Give Our School Money!
Shopping Cent$ is simply “substitute money” – in
other words, Shopping Cent$ is gift cards from
national and local retailers. They’re the same gift
certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular
retailers participate in our program including Meijer,
Wal-mart, Speedway, Skyline, Olive Garden, Lowe’s
and many, many others.
You’re probably asking yourself how these stores
help us raise money. It’s simple -- participating
retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our
organization at a discount. Parishioners and school
families buy the certificates for full face value, they
redeem them for full face value, and our school
keeps the difference as revenue.
The beauty of Shopping Cent$ is that you put your
regular household shopping dollars to work. You
earn money for our school without spending a single
additional penny. Just spend your regular shopping
dollars with Shopping Cent$ at the stores that
participate in the program! And Shopping Cent$ can
be used for just about any household purchase
including food, clothing, entertainment, gasoline and
even dining out.
We still need one more new face to join our team. It
only takes less than hour per month. We have 1
opening before/after 4:30 mass on 3rd Saturday of the
month. Please call the hotline (699-6960 ext. 240) if
you can help out!
JULY 3, 2016 COLLECTION REPORT
Shopping Cent$ is on sale every Thursday morning
starting at 9:00 a.m. at the Parish Office.
STEWARDSHIP FOR THE WEEK
“Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do
likewise.’” Luke 10:37
This was Jesus’ command at the end of the
Good Samaritan story. But did you know that
the Samaritans and Jews despised each
other. The moral of the story is to love our
neighbor, who may be someone you don’t
know, someone that looks different than you or
someone you don’t like, without expecting
anything in return.

The second early bird drawing was held on
June 24. Our lucky winner was Mark Murray
and his siblings. Congratulations to you all!!
The last drawing will be held at the end of
July. Here is your last chance. GET YOUR
TICKETS IN! Remember, winners of the
early bird drawings are still eligible for the
grand prize.
Do you have a group you meet
with regularly? Sports team,
card club....purchase a group
ticket. Ten people on a ticket for
only $10...image what kind of
party you could have if you

As all of us should know by now, Dale Bosse
has been out selling raffle tickets. My
question is this.....why only Dale? Can’t we all
get out there and sell some tickets for our
Parish. Together we can have them all sold
before the festival even begins. Who is up for
the challenge?
Ticket request forms can be found in the
Gathering Space or on our website.
Festival News
40 more days
until Festival. Please volunteer for your parish. Please express your interest
in helping by sending an email to
This Week’s Festival Highlight
Volunteer Coordinator This subject cannot get enough attention. Each
year, as we get closer to the festival, we start getting
nervous that we don’t have enough volunteers. My
question is why? We have over 1,400 families
registered in the parish. Your parish needs you.
Remember the famous saying “Many hands make
light work”? Many hands are needed starting with
initial set-up on Saturday, August 13. We continue
to set-up each night, except Wednesday, until Friday
at 7:00 p.m. Although the festival closes at 12:00
a.m. on Friday and Saturday night, there is still help
needed to clean up and get ready for the next day.
Coming shortly will be an email from Jeana
Wiesman listing the volunteer opportunities.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact Michelle
Zerhusen in the Parish Office at 385-8010 ext. 103
with any questions or concerns you may have
regarding the festival.
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.” Mark 10:45“

MUSICIAN’S NOTES BY DOUG SCHMUTTE
S ometimes the scriptures we hear on a given
Sunday are so familiar that, I suspect, we
say to ourselves, “I’ve heard this parable a
thousand times before.” And then we kind
of zone out until the end of the reading, but still sort
of listen in the background until the deacon gets to
the end of the reading. Perhaps that type of “zoning
out” happened to each of us today as we heard the
familiar story of the “Good Samaritan.” Possibly as
soon as we heard the words “A man fell victim to
robbers as he went from Jerusalem to Jericho,” we
thought, “The parable of the Good Samaritan…
again.” Or maybe if any of us have seen the musical
“Godspell,” we immediately began to recall how the
parable was acted out. But, by zoning out, we may
have missed a NEW way to hear this parable or gain
a new insight that we’ve not gleaned before.
I often quote my friend and liturgist Jerry
Galipeau. About this parable he writes, “The parable
of the Good Samaritan teaches us what it means to
be a Christian. We are called to respond with
merciful love to the needs of others.” He
continues “This includes ALL people, those whom
we love and those we find difficult to love. What
seems like a nice little story is actually quite a
radical call to love one another.” Given the events of
the past weeks and days of senseless violence not
only in our own country, but across the sea as well,
this parable definitely gives us food for thought.
Mr. Galipeau asks “If we were to ask the Lord this
very day the same question the scholar of the law
asked – ‘And who is my neighbor?’ – what do you
suppose the Lord’s
answer would be? Would
it be for us to love those
whose acts of violence we
cannot even begin to
understand?
“Ponder your answer
to this question and the
implications of naming
every single living and
breathing person on this
planet as your neighbor.
Who is your neighbor?”
Maybe today was a
day to have been especially attentive to the very
“radical” challenging words of Jesus. At Mass today
we sang the very familiar hymn which cuts to the
heart of what a Christian life is. It also challenges us
with the task at the heart of today’s Gospel. Once we
name our neighbor, can we sing these words about
“every single living breathing person on this
planet?”
Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you;
Pray that I may have the grace to let me be your servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travelers on the road;
We are here to help each other walk the mile
and bear the load.
May the Lord help us this week as we continue
to live in a world fraught with senseless acts of
violence and hate and be able to find the strength to
call everyone, even those who perpetuate such acts,
as our neighbor.
Have a great week.
Week by Week Through the Year of Mercy
C ould anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in
mercy, the parable of the Good Samaritan? Je-
sus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant
sympathy for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-
ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for
priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned temple minis-
try, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-
on mercy. No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero.
Samaritans were religious apostates and political
enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek
God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a
fellow traveler’s self-inflicted misfortunes. See
God’s presence even in someone outside the law,
whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious
obligation but from the heart’s instinctive goodness.
Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite
our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our
mercy? “Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The
next person we see who needs hands-on mercy! No
conditions, no limits, no exceptions. Especially in
this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go
and do likewise” (10:37).
