Fr. Jim’s Journal
Fr. James McNulty
I AM VERY PLEASED TO ANOUNCE THAT WE
HAVE HIRED A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL SECTION HEAD, ERIN BAUER. One of our section
heads, Carrie Yessler resigned her position to take
a position as our preschool teacher in our school.
We are sure she will excel in her new position. We
decided to replace her with someone who specialized in working with middle school youth.
Erin brings with her a great deal of experience
working with middle school youth. She worked as
a middle school religion and math teacher at St. Genevieve Catholic
School. She volunteered in youth ministry at St. Albert the Great Parish for two years. She earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education from University of Michigan – Dearborn. Erin took a
small hiatus from teaching to start a family.
Erin loves working with middle school youth. She will be ministering primarily to the middle school youth in our community. She will be
working about 19 hours a week, and will start work at St. Edith the third
week of August. I am very excited that she is joining our staff!
I AM VERY PLEASED TO ANOUNCE THAT WE
HAVE HIRED A NEW YOUTH AND YOUNG
ADULT MINISTER, JOSHUA KUGLER. Our part
time youth minister, Michael Chamberland, resigned July 1st to peruse other ministries. We
decided to hire a full time person to minister with
both youth and young adults. This was one of our
parish objectives for the coming fiscal year.
Joshua volunteered in youth ministry for a number of years at a
parish in Denver Colorado. Most recently he has been volunteering in
youth ministry at Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn. He earned a
Bachelor of Science Degree from East Carolina University in
Greenville, North Carolina. His major was Recreation Park Management concentrating in Outdoor Recreation, with a Business Administration minor. He will be working on a Certificate in Catholic Theology at
Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit.
Joshua will be ministering to our high school youth as well as our
young adults. This is a new position, so the details will unfold as we
move forward. Joshua brings a lot of positive energy to this new position. He will be working full time and will start at St. Edith on September 1st. I am very excited to have him on our staff.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MARY ANN KOELZER AND COLLEEN MISIAK WHO WITH ME FORMED THE SEARCH COMMITTEE
FOR THESE TWO POSITIONS. I really appreciate their hard work
and valuable input in making these important staffing decisions.
Love and Peace,
Fr. Jim

Great Adventure Bible Study The Book of Acts
Our next study will begin on Thursday,
September 8, 2016 and run for eight
weeks. We offer the study on Thursday both
at noon and, again, at 7 pm. This studies
topic will be Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom. It builds on the study just completed, The Bible Timeline and Matthew by
showing how Christ’s Kingdom on earth is
empowered to carry out his work in the world.
The book of Acts shows the Church, enlivened
by the Holy Spirit, teaching, preaching, healing, and restoring outcasts in the same way
that
Jesus
did
on
earth.
The Acts of the Apostles provides an historic
framework for understanding the rest of the
New Testament. Paul’s letters in particular
come alive in a new way!
Call the Religious Formation Office at (734)
464-2020 for more information.

Edith/St. Colette MOPS is looking for 2-3
Mentor Moms who could attend our biweekly
MOPS meetings to share your experiences
with the moms in our group, provide support,
and be a "listening ear." Please

Catholic Storytime
during the Summer
Attention all moms, dads,
grandparents, and child caregivers
of children age 0 to 6! Catholic
Storytime for all of our littlest
Catholics continues to meet
throughout the summer. No child
is too young to start! We meet the
2nd and 4th Wednesdays of every
month year-round at 10 AM, and
we would LOVE to have you try it
out! During the month of August
we will meet on August 10th and
August 24th. The sessions are ~40
minutes in length and include Bible
and faith-based stories, songs,
fingerplays/rhymes, prayers, and
movement activities, all in the context of the Catholic Faith. Each
session also concludes with additional “play time” for the children
and fellowship for moms/dads/
grandparents/caregivers. All sessions meet in the gathering space,
with the alternate meeting spot
being the parish library when there
is a funeral. New participants are
always welcome, and don’t worry
whether your child can “sit still” or
not- it’s a flexible format with ample
opportunity for movement. Older
siblings are welcome, too! Come
and join us in this wonderful opportunity for our youngest Catholics to
grow in the Faith in an engaging
and fun-filled way! If you have any
questions, suggestions for themes,
etc, call/text/email Anjanette Turbiak at (734) 674-5896 or [email protected].

GROUPS.

ALICE LLOYD COLLEGE is a private four year, liberal arts college, located in Pippa Passes, Kentucky in the central Appalachian mountains. The purpose of the college is to provide education of the highest quality to deserving mountain students. This is achieved within an environment supportive of Christian values and the development of character.
PROMISE VILLAGE: The summer months are filled with wonderful experience for the children at Promise Village, but it is
our most financially difficult time of the year. During this time, I ask you to remember the children in our care with your
prayers and financial support.
FORGOTTEN HARVEST: This summer we will once again mount an all-out effort to be certain our kids and their families
get the healthy food they deserve and need, thanks to a generous grant from our new partner and lead program supporter,
Delta Dental of Michigan. Delta Dental has committed to helping us fulfill our vision of creating healthy communities with
the food we rescue. This will mark the seventh summer that we will deliver thousands of lunches, packed with love every
morning by Forgotten Harvest volunteers for kids that won’t be able to take advantage of school lunch and breakfast programs provided to them throughout the school year.

fellowship to overcome those obstacles that might conquer a person along. Your support is invaluable.
