Eucharistic Adoration ~

Monday’s 9:00 AM—7:00 PM

The devotion to the Eucharist is the

most noble because it has God as

its object; it is the most profitable

for salvation, because it gives us

the Author of Grace; it is the sweet-

est, because the Lord is Sweetness

Itself.

St. Pius X

Join us in the Grotto Every Sunday evening at 7:00 pm, we pray the Rosary in the Grotto.

Come early to say the Rosary – Every weekend one half hour before Mass begins

we recite the Rosary in church. Weekends ONLY.

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL 2015

The Sunday Mass from the Cathedral of Saint Andrew is one of the longest-running live televised Masses in the nation. For more than 55 years, the Diocese of Grand Rapids has provided a televised liturgy to thousands of people who are home-bound, hospitalized, and incarcerated. Through the financial support received from the Catholic Services Appeal and the generosity of private donors, the Sunday Mass can also be viewed live and on-demand on the diocesan website. The Mass can be viewed each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. on WXMI FOX 17 and at www.dioceseofgrandrapids.org.

To date 340 families, representing 26% of our parish households, have pledged $90,764 or 60% of our parish goal. We would like to have 100% participation.

Online gift giving and pledges can be completed at www.dioceseofgrandrapids.org/CSA. If you need assistance with this, come into the Parish Office and Patty or Emily can assist you. Also keep in mind that any amount raised over our goal is returned to the parish, specifically this year the Faith in Our Fu-ture campaign. If you have returned your CSA card, thank you!

Don’t forget to save your Box Tops, Labels for Education, Tyson Project A+ Program and Aunt Millie’s School Spirit Program this summer!! These help fund our student field trips, Secret Santa Shop, Daddy/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Event and staff apprecia-tion luncheons to name just a few! We will have a collection in the Fall after we return from Summer Break. Thank you for your sup-port! Contact Jenny Korte with any questions at robertandjenny@me.com

A Family Perspective ~ July 26, 2015

In today’s Gospel Phillip worried about “enough food” for the crowd. What is

ENOUGH? When does our ENOUGH deprive another family of their fair share? Je-

sus performed today’s miracle because one child was willing to share and risk liv-

ing with less. Can your family live more simply so that other families can simply

live?

“Jesus holds a perpetual priesthood…..He

has the full power to save those who ap-

proach God through Him, since He lives for-

ever to intercede for them.” Heb. 7:24-25

REFLECTION: In the heights of heaven, where He sits at the right hand of the Father, what does Jesus do? Scripture tells us that, sharing our human nature, He constantly inter-cedes for us. He presents to the Father the dignity of our humanity, that it may be filled with the life of God.

PRAYER: Lord, give us confidence that we can always

approach You as You intercede in Your humanity for ours.

MISSION OF THE CHURCH -

Of her very nature, the Church is missionary. This means her members are called by God to bring the Gospel by word and deed to all peoples and to every situation of work, education, culture, and commu-nal life in which human beings find each other. The members of the Church seek to transform society not by power but by persuasion and by example.
