Greetings and Salutations,
In today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “I am the living
bread that came down from heaven.” Bread, a
common food, is an important part of our diet.
Jesus uses this image to help all of us
understand how necessary it is to have a
relationship with him. Jesus is our spiritual
food. Jesus says, he will abide in us and we in
him. Abide means to remain…How can you
remain in Jesus?
Faith Formation registration is underway we
look forward to an exciting year. If you have
any questions or concerns, please contact me
at 734.425.4421 ext. 217.
Have a great week everyone and remember…
Just for laughs…what did the one spider ask
the other spider? “Could you connect me to
the web?”
Sunshine & Smiles,
Sabrina Queen
From the Pastor’s Desk
I read this story recently, and then I heard of one of
our parishioners complaining about what another one
was wearing. I found this story apropos. We need to
keep our eyes and hearts fixed on one thing only
when we come to church. We are not the ones to
judge!
A lady went to her Pastor and said ‘Pastor, I won’t be
going to your church anymore.’
The Pastor responded ‘But why?’
The lady said ‘Ah! I saw a woman gossiping about
another member; a man that is a hypocrite; the
worship team living wrong; people looking at their
phone during service; among so many other things
wrong in your church.’
The Pastor replied ‘OK. But before you go, do me a
favor: take a full glass of water and walk around the
church three times without spilling a drop on the
ground. Afterwards, leave the church if you desire.’
The lady thought: too easy! She walked three times
around the church as the Pastor had asked. When she
finished she told the Pastor she was ready to leave.
The Pastor said, ‘Before you leave I want to ask you
one more question. When you were walking around
the church, did you see anyone gossiping?’
The lady replied ‘No.’
‘Did you see any hypocrites?’
The lady said ‘No.’
‘Anyone looking at their phone?’
‘No.’
‘You know why?’
‘No.’
‘You were focused on the glass, to make sure you
didn’t stumble and spill any water. It’s the same with
our life. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we don’t
have time to see the mistakes of others. We will
reach out a helping hand to them and concentrate on
our own walk with the Lord.'”
At any church, there are going to be things to
complain about. A church is filled with people, and
people aren’t perfect. Only Jesus can set the perfect
example, so let’s focus on Him!
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but
only such as is good for building up, as fits the
occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
Ephesians 4:29
Fr. Ken
As many of you may know, about a year ago we
started working on establishing a St. Vincent de Paul
Conference at St Mary, COOJ. After many meetings
with the folks at the Archdiocesan Council, our
Conference started helping neighbors in need at the
beginning of the calendar year. Since then they have
helped a number of people with the resources our
parish has given them. They are doing a great job, but could do much
more with your help.
They could use a few more people to return phone calls, and go on
Home Visits to people who need assistance. That may sound a little
scary, but as someone who has done it, I can say it is also very
rewarding. They also do a great job training you, so you will have a
place to start.
Another way to help is by supporting our Conference at the annual
Friends of the Poor Walk in September (there is a separate article
with more details on page 5 of this bulletin). You can join our
Vincentians, and those from around the Archdiocese on the actual
walk (last year there were around 700 walkers). If walking is not an
option, you can donate to one of the walkers who are going down to
the event. The great thing about this event is that all donations stay
with the local Conference. Towards the end of the month there will
be SVdP members in the back of church to sign people up, or you can
go to our website stmarycooj.org to find a link to sign up online.

HOLY NAME FRATERNITY
Greetings to all from Holy Name Fraternity! We hope you can hold out another month
until we return with the Pancake/French Toast breakfasts on September 16. HNF
members please recall we agreed to work another Texas Hold'em fund raiser August
23-26. Dave Gluth (734- 5680-4688 or [email protected]) is coordinating the event
and needs volunteers. Call him if you can help. A retreatant from our group recalled
that Jesus invited the Apostles to come apart and rest awhile. HNF membership is not
required to come apart and join the men's retreat at St. Paul of the Cross Retreat
Center, September 28-30. For just $30 you can register for the retreat on line at
stpaulretreat.org. Registration is easy; the weekend is a great experience; and you will
return refreshed and spiritually renewed. Holy Name Fraternity is a sponsor of this
great weekend.
