WEEKLY MIRACLE
This week marks the beginning of a kind of “liturgical detour.” We have
been listening to Saint Mark’s Gospel during this liturgical year (Year B).
Today we begin to hear a long section from John’s Gospel, starting with the
miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. This miracle story is a
prelude to the Lord’s statements that we will begin hearing in a few weeks,
in which Jesus refers to himself as the “bread of life.” Each week we wit-
ness a miracle at Mass. We do not see a multiplication of loaves before us.
What our eyes of faith allow us to see is the miracle of the transformation of
common elements—bread and wine—into the Lord’s Body and Blood.
Once we have received the Lord, the multiplication begins, for in the Eucha-
rist we are strengthened to multiply our efforts to feed the poor, shelter the
homeless, and bring comfort to the despairing. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2018-19.
I would like to THANK everyone for making our parish as deficit free. The budget for 2018-19 is attached in the bulletin for you to look at. Hope all those who have taken one, had the opportunity to see the budget. Compare to last year budget, this year the budget has gone up almost $26,000.00. It is
because our income from St. Elizabeth $11.500.00 has stopped, the OCS has increased from $165,620.00 to $174,478.00 and $4000.00 is added to Jacob’s salary that was deducted last year as his continuing education. We have budgeted $3,500.00 for a maintenance person. We have an increase in our insurance policies up to 2.5% - 5%; also we have an increase of 2% salary to the pastor and 1% salary for the staff. Beginning of this financial year, I have decided to give you a financial report of the year. I have decided to do so because I believe that since you support the parish you have the right to know how your money is being spent. And also it will be an eye opener for some of you who do not think much of the church maintenances that we do. And like any other institutions we too have a lot of expenses like heating bills, insurances, diocesan assessment, OCS assessment, salaries etc. Again I would say that you had been very generous with your time, talents and treasure in the past year. And I hope you continue to be generous as you were in the past. We are in a good shape than last year, just because of many volunteers to do some works. I have no doubt in my mind that without your commitment and love for the church, it would have been impossible to pay the bills and take care of the needs of the church. So once again thanks for all that you do for the church both your monetary contributions and all volunteer works you do. After looking at the contribution list from July 1
st 2017- June 30
th 2018, I could come to know that those
who are giving more still continue to give and some who can contribute a little more still do the same. Still, a few contribute nothing. I appreciate what you are doing to the parish. And to those who are not contributing, please reconsider your commitment to maintain the Church. I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but I have to say the fact. And you need to know what the parish needs are. Let us try to do our best and God takes care of the rest. God doesn’t ask us to give out of his own need, for what we receive in return, he asks us to give as a reflection of how generous He has been to us. Once again thanks to all, for what you do to our parish. May God continue to bless you all. Peace. Fr. Shaiju Thomas. Pastor.
Saturday evening Mass on July 28th will begin at 4:30PM. This is due to a
wedding scheduled at 6:00 before our Mass times were changed. The
following weekend will be back at 5:00PM.”
