SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
From the Pastor:
The past week has been both busy and joyful. On July 11,
Sacred Hearts Church said farewell to Fr. John Bakle, SM, with
gratitude for his faithful service as pastor and priest. On July
12, Fr. Ryan Schmit arrived to take up his new post as Parochial
Vicar (assistant priest) in both Sacred Hearts and St. Mary
parishes. As pastor of two parishes, I find myself in a situation
like that of a priest who has just moved, except I did not need
to pack! However, I do have to learn many new names, new
schedules, and new road maps. Thank you for your patience and
prayerful support as Fr. Schmit and I adjust to our new duties.
One of our first activities was to meet with members of both
parishes to discuss the schedules of Masses and Confessions at
both parishes. If any changes are to be made in this area, they
will be announced shortly. Our goal is to provide fully for the
pastoral needs of both communities. With regard to the division of priestly duties, our plan is
to divide Masses, confessions, and other liturgical services
between the two priests on a more or less 50/50 basis. Both
priests will live at the Rectory in Marion, which will enable us
to have communal prayer and priestly fellowship each week. We
will take turns being on call for emergencies, and will be setting
up a new emergency phone number for that purpose, which will
be published shortly. In an emergency, a priest will be only a
phone call away.
I know that it will take time for everyone to adjust to this new
arrangement. I am confident that it will work well and bear
much fruit, provided that everyone prays and works together for
the good of our shared mission in Christ. May God Bless you.
Yours, in Christ,
Fr. Thomas Buffer
Pastor

JULY 17, 2016
Del Párroco:
La semana pasada ha sido muy ocupada y agradable al mismo
tiempo. El 11 de Julio, la Iglesia Corazones Sagrados con gratitud
le dijo adiós al Padre John Bakle, SM, por su fiel servicio como
sacerdote. El 12 de Julio, el Padre Ryan Schmit llegó a tomar su
nuevo puesto como Vicario Parroquial (asistente del Sacerdote)
en ambas parroquias Corazones Sagrados y Santa María. Como
sacerdote de dos parroquias, me encuentro en una situación
como si fuera un sacerdote quien se acaba de mudar, con la
excepción que no tuve que empacar! Por lo tanto, tengo que
aprender muchos nombres nuevos, nuevos horarios y nuevas
carreteras en el mapa. Gracias por su paciencia y sus oraciones
mientras que el Padre Schmit y yo nos adaptamos a nuestros
nuevos oficios. Una de nuestras primeras actividades es
reunirnos con los miembros de ambas parroquias para discutir
los horarios de las Misas y confesiones de ambas. Si se hace
algún cambio en esta área, serán anunciadas prontamente.
Nuestra meta es proveer plenamente las necesidades pastorales
de ambas comunidades.
Con respecto a la división de los oficios sacerdotales, nuestro
plan es dividir Misas, confesiones y otros servicios litúrgicos
entre las dos parroquias más o menos en un base de 50/50.
Ambos sacerdotes vivirán en la rectoría de Marion, la cual nos
permitirá tener oración comunitaria y comunión sacerdotal
cada semana. Tomaremos turnos en caso de llamadas de
emergencias, y haremos un nuevo número telefónico para estos
casos de emergencia, el cual será publicado pronto. En caso de
emergencia, un sacerdote estará disponible con solo hacer una
llamada telefónica.
Yo sé que se tomará tiempo para cada uno adaptarse a estos
nuevos cambios. Confio que funcionara bien y dará muchos
frutos, con las oraciones de cada uno y el trabajo unido para el
bienestar de nuestra misión compartida en Cristo.
Su hermano en Cristo
Padre Thomas Buffer

Who Me?
And God said, “Go, be a CATECHIST.”
And I said, “Who?....Me?”
And God smiled, “Yes!....You!”
And I said:
“But I’m not ready yet.
I’ve got company coming.
And I can’t leave the kids.
And you know there’s no one to take my place.”
And God smiled, “Are you sure?”
And God said, “Go, we need CATECHISTS.”
And I said, “But I don’t want to!”
And God smiled, “I didn’t ask if you wanted to.”
And I said:
“Listen, I’m not the kind of person to get
involved in teaching.
Besides, my family won’t like it.
And my neighbors – what will they think?”
And God smiled, “I know well!”
And yet a third time God said,
“Go be a CATECHIST!”
And I said, “Do I have to?”
And God smiled, “Do you love me?”
And I said: “Look, I’m scared!
The kids are going to hate me!
And cut me to pieces.
And I can’t take it all by myself.”
And God smiled, “Where do you think I’ll be?”
And God said to me, “Be a CATECHIST!”
And I said, “Here I am God! Send me!”
We need catechists and catechist assistants. Training will be provided!!!
If God is calling you please call me at 382-2262.

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JULY 17, 2016
St. Mary Parish Festival
Saturday August 20th, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Sunday August 21st, 2:00-6:00 p.m.
St. Mary’s Festival is right around
the corner and we need your help.
We have changed the festival
schedule and activities around a
little bit.
This year the Chicken Dinners will be Saturday evening
following the 5:00 p.m. mass. The dinners will be eat-in or
carry-out. This year there will be no drive up, but carry-out
dinners available. Last year the chicken dinners sold out early
so you may want to pick up your dinner tickets early. The
tickets will be available at the rectory.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to make
Tamales. This year our Hispanic community will
be making Tamales on Saturday afternoon from
12:00 to 4:00 p.m. They are asking that anyone
who would like to make Tamales come and help.
You can also purchase your creations to take home and share
with your family and friends. The Tamales will also be available
for purchase on Sunday during the festival.
During the dinner on Saturday there will be
a bake sale of homemade goodies. We are
looking for bakers to bake cakes, cookies, etc.
If you can help please, contact Karen Waldo.
Those items that do not sell at the dinner will also be used for
the Cake Wheel on Sunday. So we need lots of baked goods!
By now you should have received your raffle tickets. If you
haven’t, please contact the rectory or Joe Stanko to get your
tickets. The raffle is one of our biggest money makers for the
festival, so we ask if you can’t purchase the tickets yourself,
please do your best to sell them to others you may know. You
do not have to be present to win.
This year we have decided to have a Craft
Bazaar instead of a Flea Market. So if you are a
crafty person or know someone who is, this is a
chance for you to sell you wares. If you are
interested, please contact PJ Hitz for more
information.
For more information, please contact Keith Adams (Festival
Chair) at 740-387-7931 or call Dolores at the Parish office
at 740-382-2118 or by email: [email protected]. You
may also contact any of our committee members:

ALPHA
St. Mary, Marion will be offering the Alpha Course. Sessions
will be held on Monday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. starting
September 12 and run until November 14. REGISTRATIONS are
NOW BEING ACCEPTED for the Fall Class. To register for the
course, please contact the parish office at 740-382-2118 or email
Fred Dutton at [email protected]. Please consider
participating or encouraging family or friends to consider signing
up. There will be a registration fee of $20.00 for each participant.
ALPHA – What’s It All About?
Alpha is a ten week program that invites
participants to encounter Jesus in a new and
personal way. If you already have a deep
relationship with Him, then this is an opportunity
for you to help others to come to faith by inviting
someone you know who doesn’t know God or is far away from
Christ and His Church. The format of Alpha is an open, nonjudgmental discussion of key faith topics. Each session begins
with a good meal with relaxed conversation. From there the group
views a video presentation followed by discussion. Volunteers will
be at each table to make sure that everyone can express what is on
their mind and everyone stays on topic. As we move into the 21st
century, if the Catholic Church is to survive, we must find new and
different ways to know and communicate our faith to the world.
St. Augustine has said: “Our hearts are restless, O Lord, until they
rest in you.” Come and rest in the Lord.
