FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Church in Africa is the fastest-growing
Catholic community in the world. Many people in
Africa face a daily reality of food insecurity, water shortage, unemployment, lack of medical care,
and illiteracy. At the same time, Catholicism is
flourishing amid these harsh circumstances. The
Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa supports
the future of the Church by funding projects that
nourish the people of Africa in both body and
spirit.
Children growing up in Burkina Faso suffer
from an environment marked by poverty and one
of the lowest literacy rates in the world. A grant
from the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa will give them new resources and a chance at
a better education. In the Mouhoun region, located in the northwest part of the country, the grant
will fund 13 computers, computer programs, and printers for teachers in the Diocese of Dedougou. Seventy-nine teachers will participate in a three-day training course, which will be funded
by both the grant and local contributions. The teachers will receive resources and skills that will
improve the children’s learning conditions and promote the transfer of knowledge. Thanks to
donations from parishioners like you, these children will receive a stronger education and hope
for a better future.
With your help, the Church in Africa can continue to play an active role in the evangelization of the world. Projects like this one care for the needs of the African people. This allows Africans to continue giving the world their vibrant expression of faith. Please give generously to the
Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Gil

Classic Catholic Fiction Book Club
The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni
Tuesday, July 7th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm
A vigorous portrayal of enduring passion, The Betrothed's
exploration of love, power, and faith presents a whirling
panorama of seventeenth-century Italian life and is one of
the greatest European historical novels
Father Ronald Franco, CSP
Guest Discussion Leader
Pope Francis has read the book three times!
"I have read The Betrothed, by Alessandro Manzoni, three
times, and I have it now on my table because I want to read
it again. Manzoni gave me so much. When I was a child, my
grandmother taught me by heart the beginning of The Betrothed: ‘That branch of Lake Como that turns off to the
south between two unbroken chains of mountains.’”

Panel on Pope Francis’ Encyclical on Climate Change
Sunday, July 12th from 6:15 - 8:15 pm

Teachers for Religious Education Needed for 2015-2016
Religious Education
Registration is Now Open
for the 2015-2016 Year
For families registering for Religious Education at St. Paul’s
for the first time, the Religious Education Registration Form
is available at the Parish Center receptionist’s desk, the Welcome Center, and on our web page. Some classes filled up
last year, so please register on time. Late registrations will
only be accepted for unfilled classes. Deadline for Registration is August 17th and classes begin on September 13th.
Have you thought about being a catechist, but have never
given it a try? Would you like to join us in sharing your
Catholic faith with the children of St. Paul’s parish? Our
children’s entire ministry depends upon the creativity, energy and enthusiasm of many adults in the community. Are
you willing to commit yourself to be present with your students for classes from September to May? However, there is
some latitude for your personal schedule because you will be
sharing the teaching responsibility with another teacher for
the 30 Sunday’s sessions scheduled during the school year
from 11:00-12:30 PM. The heart of our program is the dedication of our catechists. Co-teachers will be needed in the
fall for the following classes: First pre-communion class
(1st & 2nd graders); Post-Communion class (3rd , 4th &
5th graders); Pre-Confirmation class (6th
&
7th graders).Training and ongoing support are provided with
opportunities for personal spiritual growth. If you feel serious about this calling and ministry, please contact me as
soon as possible. The interview process for catechist is going
on now. Other volunteers’ opportunities: Substitute teachers,
hall monitor, clerical help, and refreshment committee.
Religious Education for
Preschool Children
Saint Paul’s offers a wonderful religious education program
for three-to-five year old children called “The Catechesis of
the Good Shepherd.” The Catechesis is rooted in the Bible,
the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of
Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium," a room
prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials that they use. In the atrium the child can ponder a biblical passage or a prayer from the liturgy by taking the material for that text and working with it - placing wood figures of
sheep in a sheepfold of the Good Shepherd, setting sculpted
apostles around a Last Supper table, or preparing a small
altar with the furnishings used for the Eucharist. One session
will be offered on Sundays (9:30am-11:30am) beginning
September 13th.

A Word from Servant of God,
Father Isaac Hecker, CSP
Founder of Paulists and
1st Pastor of our Parish
To view the external authority, discipline, etc. of the
Church independently of its purpose, & without appreciation of that purpose which is to communicate the Divine Spirit to the soul, & to perfect it by the operations
of that Spirit is to make religion a formality & mechanism, dry & irksome, creating a dislike, destructive of
liberty, manliness & sanctity. [Diary begun in Egypt,
1873; The Paulist Vocation, pp. 170-171]
For more information about the sainthood cause of
Fr. Isaac Hecker, go to www.paulist.org
Please remember in prayer the following Paulist
Fathers, the anniversary (day/year noted) of whose
death is this week: Thomas P. McMillan
(7/6/1930), George M. Searle (7/7/1918), Francis
Broome (7/7/1978), Francis T. McGough
(7/7/1981), and George W.P. Johnson (7/11/1979). 5

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
La Iglesia en África es la comunidad católica de más rápido
crecimiento en el mundo. Muchas personas en África se enfrentan
a la realidad cotidiana de la inseguridad alimentaria, la escasez de
agua, el desempleo, la falta de atención médica y el analfabetismo.
Al mismo tiempo, el catolicismo está floreciendo en medio de estas
circunstancias adversas. El Fondo de Solidaridad para la Iglesia en
África apoya el futuro de la Iglesia mediante la financiación de
proyectos que nutren a la gente de África en cuerpo y espíritu.
Los niños que crecen en Burkina Faso sufren de un entorno
marcado por la pobreza y uno de los índices de alfabetización más
bajos del mundo. Una donación del Fondo de Solidaridad para la
Iglesia en África les brindará nuevos recursos y la oportunidad de
una mejor educación. En la región de Mouhoun, situada en la parte
noroeste del país, la donación otorgada financiará 13 computadoras y programas informáticos e impresoras para
los maestros en la Diócesis de Dédougou. Setenta y nueve profesores participarán en un curso de capacitación de
tres días, el cual será financiado por la donación y por las contribuciones locales. A los maestros se les brindará
los recursos y las habilidades prácticas necesarias para mejorar las condiciones de aprendizaje de los niños y
promover la transmisión de conocimientos. Gracias a los donativos de feligreses como usted, estos niños
recibirán una educación más sólida y la esperanza de un futuro mejor.
Con su ayuda, la Iglesia en África puede seguir desempeñando un papel activo en la evangelización del mundo.
Proyectos como éste cuidan de las necesidades de los pueblos africanos. Esto les permite a los africanos continuar
dando al mundo la entusiasta expresión de su fe. Por favor, contribuyan generosamente al Fondo de Solidaridad
para la Iglesia en África.
Sinceramente suyo en Cristo,
Padre Gil
