Pastor
Father Matthew Luft, OSB
Eighteenth Sunday of the Year: Jesus invites us to consider how we view the things that we have. Pay attention this week what language you use when speaking about things—on a most basic level, do you say “my” and “mine” a lot? Do you talk about owning stuff? Jesus invites us to change our perspective and see that everything, and everyone, is a gift from God and God loans to us all that is in our life. Nothing is earned or owned, but is free gift from a Father who loves us.
Please welcome Father Nickolas Becker, OSB. Father Nickolas Becker, OSB, will be regularly helping out on Sunday mornings in the coming year. He just Cinished his doctorate in Moral Theology at the Alphonsianum in Rome. He will be teaching at Saint John’s University, and presiding at one weekend Mass here. Boni-­‐Fest: Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help us with Boni-­‐Fest this year. As one of the major events that we do together, it truly takes the entire community to pull it off. One of the challenges that we have is to invite folks to join us since we often assume that everyone knows what Boni-­‐Fest is and when it is. Please take the opportunity to invite family and friends, co-­‐workers and other folks, to join us the weekend of August 20 and 21. The schedule of events is on the front of the bulletin. Boni-­‐Fest proceeds this year will go towards our Endowment Fund, which has been set up so that future generations may become followers of Jesus through our church community, and also for our Building and Maintenance Fund.
VBS: This is one of the best weeks of the summer because it is Vacation Bible School Week. Sandee, Molly Oliver and a whole cadre of teens have been working hard to get everything ready for this week of fun and growing as followers of Jesus. Please keep in prayer our young people who will be coming to plumb the depths of Christ.
Just because: Some classic blunders heard as priests proclaim the Gospel that I thought you’d enjoy.
Matthew 5: "A hill set on a city cannot be hid." Matthew 12: "as Jonah was in the welly of the bell." Matthew 2: "they offered unto him gifts, gold, and Frankenstein." And, once while a priest in his homily was explaining the intricate dress of the priests in the Old Testament, he described
how the priests put bells on the bottom of their robes. He asked,
"Why do you suppose the priests had to tinkle?" After a second of
silence, the assembly broke out with laughter, and the homily
came to an abrupt end.
School Piano for the taking. Call Jim Erkens at 309-­‐8989 for more information. Eighteenth Sunday of the Year
We welcome the newest disciples of Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism on July 23, 2016
