Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ & Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3

Gospel Reflection The theme for this week can be described as called and sent. In the first reading, Amos is called by God and sent to prophesy to the people. In the 2nd reading, Paul reminds the Ephesians that they are chosen

to know the truth and spread it. And in the Gospel, the Apostles are sent out two-by-two to preach the good news to those who would accept it. What is the message for us in these readings? We are called to share the good news and to give an example of charity, so the people can say, “See how they love one another.” Who do you know that needs words of encouragement in their life? Who needs to be reminded that God loves them? You can reach out to these people in words and in actions.

“Come away and rest awhile!” Jesus invites the apostles to join him in going away from the crowds and find time to rest and relax and even have time to eat; however, the crowds follow them. And they touched Jesus’ heart, so he cured many of them. We, too, are invited to take time

for quiet and reflection on the word of God. How often are these times interrupted? It may be at these times that we need to reach out and help others. This week, remember to take some quiet time with Jesus.

Sr. Betty Larson, Pastoral Ministry

Saint Joseph Catholic School

At May’s All Saints Academy Board of Directors meeting, it was decided that the St. Joseph Campus would be renamed “Saint Joseph Catholic School.” The decision derives primarily from the fact that all the other Catholic Community Schools have their own distinct name and identity and therefore the Board determined that the two All Saints Academy campuses should also have their own distinct identities. The St. Cloud Campus will retain the name All Saints Academy since that school for many years was represented by the three parishes of St. Peter’s, St. Paul’s and St. Michael’s (SPPM) and given the multiple Saints associated with that school, it made sense to leave it as All Saints Academy. The St. Joseph campus will be renamed Saint Joseph Catholic School given its pairing with Saint Joseph Parish and its location in the town of St. Joseph. Even though many people mentioned their nostalgia for the “Lab School” name, the “Lab” name will be dropped since the school no longer is a laboratory school for the College of Saint Benedict. Saint Joseph Catholic School will remain with the All Saints Academy Corporation for the 2018–19 school year while Catholic Community Schools finalizes its corporate structure and operations. Beginning with the 2019–2020 school year, Saint Joseph Catholic School will become part of the Catholic Community Schools Corporation. The renaming of our school will build a brand identity that distinguishes us from the other schools. I look forward to the opportunities our new identity will provide.

Karl Terhaar, St. Joseph Catholic School Principal

Save the Date! The annual Parish Appreciation Picnic will be held immediately after the 5:30 pm Mass on Wednesday, August 15, which is the Feast of the Assumption and a Holyday of Obligation. All parishioners are invited to this annual celebration.
