Pastor’s Corner This weekend, Catholic Christians celebrate the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time. On this day, we hear, in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus sending 72 of his disciples two by two to various towns that he planned to visit himself at a later time. He even gave them some practical tips on being good missionaries (Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20).

On Monday, people of the United States will celebrate Independence Day. On this day, please take some time to thank God for all of our blessings and to help us to strive always to be a better and more welcoming nation, especially toward our Catholic immigrants. Finally, this Thursday evening at 7 p.m., we will have our annual summertime Anointing Mass at the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary. We will also have our regular 7:30 a.m. Mass that day without the Sacrament of the Sick. To receive the Sacrament of the Sick, you must have been validly baptized and believe you are sick in mind, body, or spirit. Sincerely yours in Christ, - Father Bob

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time St. Mary Social Ministry/Tileston Outreach This weekend we celebrate our Independence. The Word of God we listen to this day reminds us, believers in the crucified Jesus, that it is our God who makes us truly free and we are called to imitate God’s love with all those who pass our way. As a matter of fact, we are even sent out to find those who need to hear God’s message and bring them peace. Margaret Mead, a 20th century anthropologist is quoted as saying: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Last week I spent some time with one of those committed Citizens, Jeremy Hardy. Actually I had met him and a few of his urban missionary friends in January when they came to share with me a dream they felt inspired to accomplish – offering a place where the homeless might come to shower. Well, they have accomplished their dream and it is called VIGILANT HOPE! The Scripture they are trying to live by are the Words of the Prophet Micah – Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly. The group has retrofitted an old bus and, for the present, it is showing up on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on the south side of town. I am including the schedule that offers shower four times a week: MONDAYS – 408 Willard St. 8:30 am – Walking together -Pancake Breakfast and Worship and then Shower Trailer from 10am-11:30 am; TUESDAYS – 1626 Lake Branch Drive – 10am-2pm Shower Trailer; THURSDAYS – Walking together – Dinner with Shower Trailer until 7:30pm; SATURDAYS – 8am – 10am Trailer Shower with a Pancake Breakfast at 9 am. During these hot summer days, I am certain that each one of us can imagine just what a shower means to someone who does not have access to one. The people are so grateful and about 20 can be served each day if needed. The missionary team is supported by different faith communities across the country and they hope to expand their services to the north side of town and even get a commercial washer and dryer installed in the bus. This definitely is one project some of the folks we serve will take advantage of We applaud and support their caring and compassion. If interested in learning more about it why not drop by and visit the project – you will see Luke 10 in action!

Sister Isaac—Office of Social Ministry

Special Need for the Week: We continue to serve the 35+ men and women who come each day and will do so during the month of July. We will stop taking dona-tions the middle of the month in preparation for our being closed dur-ing the month of August for some well deserved rest, relaxation and renewal of our Outreach Area with deep cleaning and painting. Come September, we will be in need of volunteers to pick up food on the third Tuesday of the Month at Food Lion in Masonboro Com-mons. It is a hard job since coolers containing the food have to be carried down our stairs to the Food area in the Ministry. A large car, van or truck is needed to hold the coolers and two people doing it really helps. The commitment takes about two hours, once a month. If you are able to volunteer for this ministry, please call the Office at 762-5491 x135.

"Let your light so shine..." Matthew 5:16 We have just a few extra yearbooks for sale. If you are interested in purchasing a yearbook for $31.00, please see Mrs. Linn in the office. By now, you are probably into your summertime routines or perhaps have started on that long awaited vacation. The offices at school have remained very busy as the summer projects and business continue. Today I want to honor our graduates and give you a short update to keep you informed. As you know, we graduated 17 fine 8th graders during the last week of school. Below are the honors that were awarded to the Class of 2016. President's Award for Educational Excellence (90th %-ile or better in Reading or Math on Iowa test and maintained an overall average of 90% or better in all 5 core academic courses during 6th, 7th grades and 1st semester of 8th) - Tara Bellows, Kenny Brown, Emilia Cor-don, Kasey Kiser, Makenzie Payne, Madison Swart, and Conrad Young Msgr. Thomas P. Hadden Academic Achievement Award (Recipient of Presidential Award, scored in 95th %-ile or better in core subject areas of Sci. and Soc. St., and scored 99th %-ile in Eng., Lang. Arts, and Math.) In addition to their extraordinary level of academic success, these students model the loving, caring spirit of St. Mary Catholic School for all who know them. - Kenny Brown, Emilia Cor-don, and Madison Swart Religion Award - Ana Maria Gomez Math Award - Emilia Cordon, Kasey Kiser Science Award - Emilia Cordon Language Arts Award - Emilia Cordon Social Studies Award - Emilia Cordon, Reaghan Juelke, and Kasey Kiser Citizenship Award - Thomas Moore St. Mary School pins were given to those students who had completed 9 years of education, K-8th, at our school. Nine students of the class received pins. - Tara Bellows, Kenny Brown, Emilia Cordon, Reaghan Juelke, Olivia Kennedy, Georgia Anne Mead, Thomas Moore, Madi-son Swart, and Conrad Young. Gifts were given to the entire class for passing the Global Literacy Awareness Challenge. Congratulations and blessings to the Class of 2016! Isabel Barrett, Tara Bellows, Kenneth Brown, Ella Butler, Emilia Cor-don, Gabriella Flewwellin, Ana Maria Gomez, Reaghan Juelke, Olivia Kennedy, Kasey Kiser, Jonah Koenig, Georgia Mead, Thomas Moore, Makenzie Payne, Izzabelle Stoneback, Madison Swart, Conrad Young We are very proud of these students and know that they are prepared to succeed in high school and higher education. Gym and Elevator Progress - Gym cleaning and decorating contin-ues. We look forward to celebrating the "Grand Opening" of the gym at the beginning of school. The church's elevator project is well under way. They have sealed off the construction area on both lower and upper floors and hope to have the new elevator operating at the end of the summer. Obviously, there are no functions occurring in the Upper Room during this summer.

Science Lab - We have one generous donor so far who is supporting the creation of a new Science Lab on the 2nd floor of Tileston. Years ago, the lab was in the back section of the present library and the plan is to create the new lab in that same location. Toward the end of the school year, a team of professionals has been meeting to create this plan. So, Mr. Hogan has moved all of the library books to the skylight room which will be the library until the lab is completed. Then we will be moving Mrs. Brown's classroom into the new lab and will use her present room for the lower grades' library. Letters are being sent out to request further financial support for this project which directly affects our students and their learning. We are very excited about the changes. In the coming days, you will receive details of the fundraising cam-paign for the lab. Please consider a donation to the project and feel free to share it with friends and relatives who may also be willing to help. Staffing of School - I am actively interviewing for the several faculty openings we have for the 2016-17 school year. I am delighted with the quality of applicants with whom I have been meeting. I will let you know when this process is complete. New School App Ready to Test - St. Mary School App from Appy City now available at App Store or Google Play. Let us know what you think! Congratulations to Mrs. Hudson on our Kitchen's Health Dept. score of 100! School Office Summer Hours - Remainder of June - Mon.-Thurs., 9-3, Fri. - 9-12 July - Office is closed, but messages will be checked. August - Office reopens 9-3 until school starts. Falcon's Nest Preschool Changes - Please let your friends, family, and coworkers know that we are plan-ning on the option of a full day for PreK3 and PreK4. (More Infor-mation here.) Condolences - St. Mary School Faculty and Staff offer our condolenc-es to the Connaughton Family (Mrs. Connaughton-Gr. 3, Megan-Gr. 4, and Kelsie-KL). Mr. Connaughton's brother-in-law, Bryan, died suddenly on June 11th.

Want to get your $400 Annual Fee refunded? It's simple - just refer a registering family for the 2016/2017 school year! Remember, they must register and pay tuition for the 2016/2017 school year - and - let Mrs. Linn know that you are the referring fami-ly!
