We had so many kids sign up, that we were not able to accommodate everyone who wanted to participate. This Thursday, we will celebrate Independence Day in the United States. On that day, we celebrate the birth of our nation and thank God for all of the many blessings he has showered on us as a people. Our nation has been blessed beyond measure with every good thing under the sun. That is indeed good news. However, we must never forget what Jesus reminded us: The more that has been given to you, the more will be expected of you. Therefore, no people on Earth should be more generous than Americans. Please pray for Christian Cook, the seminarian from our parish. The bishop told me today that Christian has decided to study for the priesthood in a different diocese. Pray that God will bless Christian and light his path brightly. On July 11th, we will have our Summer Anointing Mass at 7 p.m. At that Mass, we will celebrate the Sacrament of the Sick. If you believe are ill in mind, body, or spirit, you might like to take advantage of this opportunity. The new Catholic Center at 7200 Stonehenge Dr. in Raleigh is quite beautiful. Having meetings there is a real treat. This is a photo of the place.

Drop it off with your child’s Faith Formation catechist. The funds and passes will be given directly to Sr. Isaac to be distributed to those in need.

The issue of immigration reform is important to Catholics because it touches on the fundamental human dignity of our brothers and sisters. An immigration reform bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and is currently under debate. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops supports immigration reform that is comprehensive in nature and that facilitates the following goals: • • • • • Provides a path to citizenship for undocumented persons in our country; Preserves family unity as a corner-stone of our national immigration system; Provides legal paths for low-skilled immigrant workers to come and work in the United States; Restores due process protections to our immigration enforcement policies; assurance that our laws are enforced in ways that recognize the importance the sanctity of the human person, the incomparable value of the family and maintains the integrity of our national borders; Addresses the root causes of migration, such as persecution and economic disparity. • To learn more about the teaching of the Church on immigration or to be involved in advocacy, go to: www.usccb.org/about/migration-andrefugee-services/index.cfm#immigration Around the Area DO YOU FEEL THAT YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY HAS SLOWED IN YOUR QUEST FOR HOLINESS? Could God be calling you to a vocation in the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites--people who live in the world, but also can include a powerful spiritual element in their lives for those with whom they are in contact and those whom they may lift up to God in prayer. We feel a great need to consecrate our lives to a spiritual journey, and to help others to turn to God at this time of crisis in the world. To answer any questions about our Holy Spirit Community in Jacksonville, please call Loretta Potts, OCDS, [email protected]., Faith Formation Director, (252) 503-9103. We meet on Saturdays monthly.

The first one is the image mentioned in all three readings, FIRE. One property of fire is that of light; another is heat. At the time of Pentecost we recall that it was said that it looked as if “tongues of fire” rested upon the heads of those disciples gathered in the Upper Room. The Holy Spirit has come to us, through our Baptism, to ignite our spirits and move us to action to bring the Good News of Jesus to all we meet. We are to be a light to others. The second point is found in Paul’s message to the Galatians. He says “…the whole law is fulfilled in one statement, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. Last week an elderly gentleman asked for some help with gasoline for his car, so he might get back and forth to the doctor. He receives Social Security, but as he said, he robs Peter to pay Paul, as he struggles to cover his monthly bills. And he added…”If this ministry did not help me over the past years, I would be dead. It helped me with my health issues before I was able to receive Medicare, and now it helps me with my other needs, for example, providing me with some gasoline.” On a busy Monday morning in June, that is one encouraging message to receive! He is one of the many who inspire us to go the extra mile. As we say so often here at the Ministry, we receive much more than we give! He stokes the fire and ignites the light that helps us reach out to our neighbors in need. Happy July 4th! RCIA Mission Corner Rite of Christian Initiation will begin again in September. Please call 762-5491, x135 if you would like information about it. Special Need for the Week As you know, our ministry closes during the month of August. During the next several weeks we try to clear our shelves for our “big cleaning”. Whatever you bring will find a home, that’s for sure.

The Briefs will be taken from the Catechism and Vatican II documents, the significance of which Pope Benedict XVI noted in his Year of Faith decree. This week’s offerings are from the Sacrosanctum Concilium While the liturgy daily builds up those who are within into a holy temple of the Lord, into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit [3], to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ [4], at the same time it marvelously strengthens their power to preach Christ, and thus shows forth the Church to those who are outside as a sign lifted up among the nations [5] under which the scattered children of God may be gathered together [6], until there is one sheepfold and one shepherd [7]. 3. Wherefore the sacred Council judges that the following principles concerning the promotion and reform of the liturgy should be called to mind, and that practical norms should be established. Among these principles and norms there are some which can and should be applied both to the Roman rite and also to all the other rites. The practical norms which follow, however, should be taken as applying only to the Roman rite, except for those which, in the very nature of things, affect other rites as well. ~ Stewardship of Treasure ~ June 2, 2013 Envelopes Mailed: 1634 Envelopes Returned: 3385 Bulletin Deadline Deadline for publishing is the Friday, a week before publication, at Noon.

We all have our bumps in the road, but once in awhile, a St. Mary School family experiences a Random Act of Misfortune that suddenly wipes out a child’s chance to con1nue Catholic educa1on. In one recent spectacular Random Act of Kindness, an anonymous donor stepped forward to fund a Child’s en1re tui1on for a year when the student’s family suddenly couldn’t pay. St. Mary Shool offers tui1on assistance, but we have no endowment upon which to draw and no reserve fund for helping family emergencies. Would you consider making a giB – a Random Act of Kindness – to lend a hand when a student’s family simply can’t make it financially and must drop out of St. Mary School? DOUBLE YOUR GIVING! Did you know...that many employers have matching fund programs for both current employees and re1rees? Local companies with matching programs: GE IBM Corning Time Warner Wells Fargo Verizon Duke Energy Bell South Office Depot Pfizer State Farm Allstate Na1onwide Insurance Any amount would help us to help a child in a misfortunate situa1on. $100 will buy a school uniform for a child who can’t afford it. $400 will pay for a child’s registra1on and materials fee. $5,075 will pay for a full year of tui1on for a Catholic child. All giBs to St. Mary School are tax deduc1ble as allowed under the IRS code 501(c)3.
