Dear Parishioners, In the readings today, both Jesus and the prophet Ezekiel have a difficult time preaching.
Jesus was dismissed because the people would not accept the fact that He could teach them
about God. He was seemingly ordinary and therefore it was difficult for the people to believe
Him. Ezekiel had to preach to a people who had rebelled against God and were “obstinate of
heart.” St. Paul gives us insight to ponder in His letter to the Corinthians: “I willing boast in
my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell in me.” It is when God’s grace
allows us to overcome our weaknesses that Christ’s power is most truly revealed. Sometimes
it is when we are at our lowest, that we see the hand of God most powerfully. It is sometimes
when we are weakest that we are able to hear the voice of God most clearly. It isn’t always
about being the strongest and the most powerful. If God is with us, He gives us strength to
endure even the difficulties. May we be able to find God in our lives, in our weaknesses and
our strengths, and may we never be parted from Him. Have a wonderful and blessed week! Fr. Winchel

International Exchange Students
Opportunities to host an international exchange student in
your home continue and grow, as we expand our offerings and
involvement with international students. The rewards are
great and the opportunities for you to become involved are
here again as students join our community. Host families offer
a safe and comfortable place for the student to live and study,
and offer transportation to and from school. The family re-
ceives a monthly stipend for their time and commitment, and
to offset any incurred expenses. You do not have to be a
Mount de Sales family to host. If you are interested in being a
host family for one of these students, please contact Ashley
Griffin in the MDS admissions office at (478) 751-3244.
Saint Joseph’s Catholic School
What Saint Pope John Paul II says about a Catholic Education “Community is at the heart of all Catholic education, not simply as a concept to be taught, but as a reality to be lived. …Your
students will learn to appreciate the value of community as they experience love, trust, and loyalty in your school and educa-
tional programs, and as they learn to treat all persons as brothers and sisters created by God and redeemed by Christ.” ~ Saint Pope John Paul II
At St. Joseph’s Catholic School we are a community of teachers, staff, and parents who believe
in developing the spirit and the intellect of our students. We welcome all students, Catholic or
other Faith, who want an academically challenging education in an environment of love, trust,
and respect. At SJS, we educate the spirit of every child as well as their mind! With our philos-
ophy of educating the “whole” child, our students learn courtesy, respect, and responsibility in
addition to academics. Your child will be in an environment that is both nurturing and struc-
tured, and where academic achievements are valued and expected! Through the integration of
faith, family, culture and education, St. Joseph’s Catholic School prepares our students to
participate as active members of the Church and society. Summer tours are available by
contacting Debra Harrison, director of admissions, at [email protected] or
742.0636. You can also visit our website at www.sjsmacon.org.

“Pope Francis: A Man of His Word” on Sunday July 15

Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us thine influence prove:
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.
Come, Holy Ghost, for moved by thee
The prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, thyself the key,
Unseal the sacred book.
Expand thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o’er our nature’s night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.
God, through himself, we then shall know
If thou within us shine,
And sound with all thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.
Around the Deanery and the Diocese
Mass Etiquette And Dress
With the arrival of summer, please remember to dress modest-
ly for Mass. If we were invited to a gala event, we wouldn’t
dress as though we were going to the beach. Christ Himself has
invited us to partake in the sacred banquet of the Eucharist.
Our attire and our reverent actions should reflect where we are
and Whose we are. Dressing extremely informally or revealing
is distracting and disrespectful. Dressing up for Mass is
certainly not “out of date.” Parents should also monitor their
children’s dress for Mass. Always remember to be clean, neat,
and modest when attending Mass.
A Call To Diaconate
Do you think that God is calling you…or maybe someone you
know…to serve our parish community as an ordained deacon?
Are you a man between 35 and 60? If so, and you are Catholic
in full communion with the church, with no more than one
prior marriage… you may want to learn more about becoming
a deacon. Some of the ways deacons serve are to perform
baptisms, marriages and funeral services, assist at Mass and
preach, plan liturgical celebrations and teach RCIA. Deacons
visit the sick, hospitalized and dying; some serve in prison
ministry, and in the social services ministries (e.g., homeless
or those with addiction.) Some deacons work in parish
administration. The Office of the Permanent Diaconate is
accepting applications for the next diaconate formation class
which will begin September 2019. Applications will be accept-
ed until September 30, 2018. All application materials are on
the Diocese of Savannah website, under the link for the
Permanent Diaconate office.
http://diosav.org/permanent-diaconate-Formation
Our parish priests or deacons (Don Coates and Tom Eden)
would be happy to meet with you and discuss “your call to
diaconate”.
The bulletin deadline is 10 days prior to the date you need your article to appear. All items received after
the deadline will go into the next bulletin. Submissions should be emailed to: [email protected].
