Elijah’s Supper Update
What many volunteers thought was going to be a
slow night on Thursday, August 7, resulted in 448
meals, provided to the less fortunate.
We get many individuals expressing to me their
appreciation for our community meals, and while it
would be easy to take credit, these meals could not be
possible without your support and that of all the
fantastic volunteers who monthly give their time and
talent to this ministry.
God has once again give us the opportunity to
serve others and we are grateful to Him for allowing us
to do so.
Thanks again for your support.

Message for Our Homebound
Parishioners
If you are a homebound parishioner, we would like
the opportunity to deliver to you a freshly prepared meal
on the first Thursday of each month. Although this is
the same night as our Elijah’s Supper, this offer has
nothing to do with your economic status. Since we are
preparing meals on that night, it would be an ideal time
to help many who have, in their earlier years, worked so
hard to make our parish the success that it is. Please
do not hesitate to call the Parish Office, 913-682-3953,
if you would like us to prepare a meal and deliver it to
you. It is one way we can say “thank you” for being so
dedicated to our Catholic community. We look forward
to hearing from you!

This Week in our Parish
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Sunday we listen to the fourth of five
consecutive Sunday Gospels from the Sixth Chapter of
the Gospel of John known as the “Bread of Life Discourse.”
Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from
heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the
bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world
(John 6:51-52).” As we gather for Mass this weekend, let
us never take for granted the great spiritual gift of the
Eucharist.
Last Tuesday evening, August 11, the ladies of the
St. Joseph Altar Society hosted a great pot-luck dinner
and birthday party, honoring all three of us Leavenworth
Carmelites, who are turning over another year in the next
few weeks. The three of us together will be clocking in a
total of 177 years! I’d like to say that I will soon be 39
and Fr. Tom and Brother David will each be 69, but I
guess I better tell the truth in the parish bulletin! To set
the record straight, I will be turning 63 next Saturday,
August 22. Fr. Tom will turn 54 on Tuesday, September 1
(a mere youth!). And Brother David, who was particularly
“roasted” and toasted at the Altar Society dinner, will hit
the big 60 on Thursday, September 17. As a scientific
study once proved, birthdays are actually good for you.
The people who have the most live the longest!
I’d like to particularly salute my “birthday buddies”
— fellow parishioners who will also be celebrating their
birthdays on August 22—Helen Naylon (#95), Mary
Suppes (#85), Teresa Lee and Jim Grosdidier (both #54).
It’s good to know that we are all in this together!
As you can see from the photo on the front of
today’s bulletin, the St. Joseph’s Quilting Ladies have
done it again! This is their 25th annual quilt to be raffled
at the upcoming St. Joseph Bazaar. It won both blue and
white ribbons at the recent Leavenworth County Fair in
Tonganoxie. You will soon be able to purchase a raffle
ticket for $1.00 or 12 for $10.00 after the weekend
Masses. The raffle will be held on Bazaar Day —
September 20. Our first Bazaar Planning Meeting was
held this past Wednesday evening, August 12. Joe and
Suzanne O’Neil and Theresa Williams are chairing this
year’s Bazaar. Mark your calendars now and plan on
joining us for our biggest annual parish fund raiser!
As you know, Pope Francis will soon be making
an historic pastoral visit to the United States, September
22—27. While in Washington, DC, he will meet with
President Obama at the White House, address the US
Congress, and canonize Blessed Junipero Serra, the
Franciscan missionary to California, at the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Traveling to New
York, he will address the United Nations General
Assembly, visit the 9/11 Memorial, and celebrate Mass at
Madison Square Garden. Finally in Philadelphia, he will
be attending the World Meeting of Families, with a huge
outdoor Mass, before returning to Rome on September
27. Pray for the success of his visit!
God bless you always!
Fr. David

AUGUST 2015
Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of illness. O
dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and
grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in
Your hands. We place our sick under Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your
servants to health again.
