SUNDAY: 26 JUNE: 13TH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME
FROM THE PASTOR Dear Parishioners, This is the last Sunday for Fr. Barzare. I know you have appre-ciated his prayerfulness, preaching, and devotedness to his ministry among you. I have personally appreciated having him around the rectory and seeing his great love for the Lord. Let us all keep him in our prayers as he begins his ministry in Cow Island. Please do come out and show your appreciation at his going away reception after the 10:00am Mass in the High School Commons area. There will be some light foods and cake. Fr. Taj Glodd begins his ministry on Monday here at Sacred Heart, St. Joseph and Belaire Cove. Please welcome him when you see him and do invite us into your homes as we would like to get to know you better. As we have said before Fr. Glodd is a native of Crowley and comes from a family of 8. I look forward to living with him again as he was with me one summer in Eunice. He is also a big guy so he will be my body guard! The renovations of the rectory are now done and look really nice. Come check it out! The Junior High building is being renovated and soon there will be a new roof on the Kindergarten building. The two mausoleums are also being restored. They’re still planning to renovate the interior of the church for some time in 2017. So lots of work is being done. I will be making an ACTS retreat in October then hopefully next year another parish will mission us with the ACTS retreat so you can make it. Parishes which have the ACTS retreat have raved about the result in getting people active in their faith and in the parish. So please keep us in your prayers.
The Booster Club Golf Tournament was a resounding success. Everybody enjoyed themselves and the coaches got to meet all the players amidst great fun. Thanks to Barry Bordelon and his Booster Club Committee and entire volunteer staff for doing such a great job. Thanks for all of your support! Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Thomas Voorhies
Three boys were bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, “My dad is a poet. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a poem, and
they give him $50.”
The second boy says, “That’s nothing. My dad is in advertising. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a song, and they give him
$100.”
The third boy says, “I’ve got you both beat. My dad is a deacon. He scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a homily, and it takes eight
people to collect all the money!”

“Adopt-A-Baby” 2nd Month Update
Keep praying for me. I am 2 months old now and about 2 inches long. Look! You can see my eyes, nose, and mouth. I hope I can use these to experience God’s world after I’m born. From this moment on, your baby grows and refines his body. All of your baby’s major body organs and body systems, including the brain, lungs, liver, and stomach, have begun to develop. The first bone cells appear during this time. Eyelids form and grow but remain sealed shut. The inner ear is forming. Ankles, toes, wrists, and fingers are developing. If you do an ultrasound scan, you may see your baby wiggling and waving! Everything he needs to survive once he is born is already present by the end of the eighth week.
Parishioners for LifeA Father Looks Back: Longtime country music singer Kenny Rogers has a song called “Water and Bridges,” which highlights a father’s pain after losing a child to abortion. Rogers told CNN that the song is not about him, but is “really about choices you make when you’re young that you pay for when you’re old.” He goes on to explain, “It starts off with a young couple who have an abortion, and the guy says, ‘If a father could hold his son, I could undo what’s been done, but I guess everyone is living with water and bridges.’” Counseling and healing is available for any man or woman who has lost a child to abortion. See www.RachelsVineyard.org for details.

Weekly Reflection from Pope Francis:
“Experience shows that an appeal to justice alone will result in its destruction. This is why God goes beyond justice with his mercy and forgiveness. Yet this does not mean that justice should be devalued or rendered superfluous. On the contrary: anyone who makes a mistake must pay the price. However, this is just the beginning of conversion, not its end, because one begins to feel the tenderness and mercy of God. God does not deny justice. He rather envelops it and surpasses it with an even greater event in which we experience love as the foundation of true justice.” — Pope Francis

SUNDAY: 26 JUNE: 13TH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME
Stewardship Moments…13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 26th: Today’s Gospel reveals to us the beginning of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. We will journey with Jesus for many Sundays to come, and along the way he will teach us about the demands of discipleship. His instructions may seem harsh and unrea-sonable to our ears. His response to legitimate requests to postpone the journey reminds us that there are always justifiable excuses to defer the journey or put off the re-sponsibilities of discipleship. Other important matters compete for our attention. Some of us must make heart-wrenching choices, but there is urgency about Jesus’ mis-sion to bring forth God’s kingdom. His demand is that we proclaim the Kingdom of God now. Is this our first priority,
or do we have other priorities?
Stewardship Prayer for JuneLord Jesus Christ, You came to bring peace and offer reconciliation. You sent your Spirit to heal the separa-tion between people, and to reveal how it is possible for women and men to overcome their differences and celebrate their unity through your body and blood. You revealed your Father as the Father of all people; a Fa-ther who cares for every single individual and embrac-es them with love and mercy. It is that love and mercy, made manifest by your cross, that shines your light on us all, creates new life, offers a new way of living, and brings a Gospel message that is a sign of hope. Give us the courage to live your Gospel fully even when it brings risk, to share your word vibrantly even if it leads to scorn, and to respond to others generously even when we feel like holding back. Show us the way to live as good stew-ards of your presence among us, and in doing so, may
we shine your light on a darkened world. Amen!
