St. Vincent de Paul
Thanks to everyone who donated to the June Food Drive. There is increased need at TEAM during
the summer months. Some of the food donations will be taken to our clients who are struggling to
make ends meet. As always, we appreciate everyone who uses the SVDP envelope in the parish packet or the brown envelope at the back of church. We are seeing an increase in families who are being
threatened with gas or electric disconnection. Thanks to everyone who played in the North District
SVDP golf tournament or was a hole sponsor. The report was that everyone had a good time.
From The Desk of Msgr. Matthew Mitas:
Remember that June is the month of the Sacred Heart and
July is the month of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus!
AS I WRITE THIS…
…I am still on the east coast, freeloading on my relatives (and having a wonderful time).
By the time you read this, however, I will have already returned and be back on the job. Being essentially vacant (which, I suppose, is why it’s called a “vacation”), I don’t have much
to tell, but there are a couple of things, as you will see as you scroll down.
PIANO RECITAL
The upcoming piano recital for the parish by our home-grown virtuoso, maestro Danny
Kuehler, will still take place, but there might be a change in the date or location. It’s still a
couple of weeks away, so you’ll be notified with plenty of time to spare. All this is because of
instrument itself. We’re trying to obtain for him as fine an instrument as we can, but to get a
really good one involves some logistical problems. His list of awards and achievements constitutes a most impressive resume, one that many would envy. I believe he will treat us to a
great show!
PETER AND PAUL
This coming Wednesday (June 29) is the great feast of the two foremost apostles, St. Peter
and St. Paul. Consequently, it is also the time when the whole universal Church sends money to Peter’s successor, so that he, in the manner of the apostles of old, can distribute it to the
needy of the world. Called “Peter’s Pence”, this collection will be taken up this weekend.
Please be as generous as you can afford.
QUIZ-A-CATHOLIC
In the spirit of summer vacation, I haven’t given you a quiz for a while. I suspect, however, that some of you haven’t done too well on the quizzes of the past, so I’ll include one this
weekend, as a sort of “summer school” so I won’t have to have anybody repeat the academic
year. I’ll make it easy…this one is a repeat from last October and it’s on the important cities
mentioned in the Bible. See if you know…
1. The city where Jonah was regurgitated so that he could tell them to shape up.
2. The city where Joshua “fit de battle”.
3. The biblical city in whose valley the “last battle” will take place.
4. The city of Jesus’ birth.
5. The city of Jesus’ Death and Burial.
6. Any of the cities to whose Churches the Angel of the Book or Revelation speaks.
7. The famous isthmus, whose residents had a reputation for scandalous living, and to
whom St. Paul wrote at least two letters.
8. The capital of the Empire and the greatest city of the day.

Parish Activities:

9. The Galilean city where Jesus was raised.
10. The Galilean city where city spent most of
His public life and recruited His Apostles.
ANSWERS: 1. Nineveh 2. Jericho 3. Megiddo, whose
valley in Hebrew is Har-Megiddon, or Armageddon 4.
Bethlehem 5. Jerusalem 6. Laodicea, Philadelphia,
Ephesus, Smyrna, Thyatira, Sardis, & Pergamon 7.
Corinth 8. Rome 9. Nazareth 10. Capernaum
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
(This week’s quotes are given in a sense of irony:
they are bold expressions of Catholic belief, but uttered by men who dramatically abandoned their
faith and caused grave scandal, wounding the Body
of Christ terribly. But when they were good, they
were very, very good, but when they were bad, they
were horrid.)
“They sin damnably who do not obey the
Pope.” – Martin Luther
“Excommunication is a medicine, and to be
suffered with patience and obedience.”- Martin Luther, who suffered his own excommunication
with uttered blasphemies and “intolerable quarrels”
Our source for these quotes from Luther is none
other than King Henry VIII of England, who would
go on to say: “It plainly appears that those who
are driven from the bosom of holy Mother
Church are immediately seized, possessed
with furies, and tormented by devils” and,
“Truly, if anyone will look upon ancient monuments, or read the History of former times,
one may easily find that all Churches in Christendom have been obedient to the See of Rome
since the conversion of the world.”
If only Henry would have followed his own advice!
The quotes are taken from his theological treatise,
“The Defense of the Seven Sacraments”, and is so
wonderfully Catholic and defends the faith so well
that, after he left the Catholic Church to start his
own version of it, he tried to blame it on St. Thomas More, his friend, whom he martyred for opposing him (and whose feast was just last week)!

and Schumann. Admission is free and free-will

pregnancy or adoption. Please call Karen Dietz,

this very special time.
