I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobiah on his travels. Because you are the medicine of God, I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favour (Make your request here...) and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

MyParish App - Text ‘App’ to 88202 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time 2 July 17th, 2016 FATHER BOB’S COLUMN FROM FATHER BOB: Still on vacation! I will be back Monday night! Here are some cute observations from the mouths of innocent little ones about love. Remember too that Jesus said we must be like little children if we want to get to heaven. Think about this for a while! "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas, if you stop opening presents and listen." "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." FATHER JOE GOSSELIN’S THANK YOU Dear Parishioners of St. Raphael the Archangel, This past weekend I had the honor and privilege of presiding at your weekend Masses as well as preaching promoting the good work of the UNBOUND sponsorship program. Because of you some five children and elderly will have their lives changed, giving them so much hope for the future. If you had wanted to sponsor but were not quite prepared to make a decision, you may use the Sponsorship forms found in the past weekend’s bulletin. Or else, you may be interested in visiting UNBOUND’S website at unbound.org. It is exceptionally well done and very user friendly. I appreciated very much your warm reception. And many thanks to Fr. Bob for giving UNBOUND permission to preside and preach; and to the parish staff who gave every help possible. May the Good God above bless each of you with health, happiness and holiness. Yours in Christ the Lord, Fr. Joe Gosselin, m.s. 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time 3 July 17th, 2016 SERVERS FOR JULY 18TH-JULY 24TH Monday 7:00 am Cate Guenther Tuesday 7:00 am Lucille Schlichting Wednesday 7:00 am Miranda Sullenger Thursday-Friday 7:00 am Anna Mersinger Saturday 7:00 am 4:30 pm Sunday 8:00 am 10:00 am Cate Guenther Andrew Kellar Katelyn Massey MASS INTENTIONS FOR THIS WEEK Sunday, July 17th 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8:00 am People of the Parish 10:00 am Erna Sinovcic Ellie Guenther Abigail Stein Monday, July 18th 7:00 am Joan Rudge Mia Thompson Mia Thompson Tuesday, July 19th 7:00 am Bart Saracino Ellie Guenther William Madden Wednesday, July 20th 7:00 am The Hutton, Jost, & Kimling Families Thursday, July 21st 7:00 am Judy Svetanics Gillian Neal Rory Barnawell Anna Mersinger Sam Schicker Abigail Stein Lucille Schlichting Saturday, July 23rd 7:00 am Bart Saracino 4:30 pm People of the Parish Sunday, July 24th 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8:00 am Howard Sheldon 10:00 am Dorothine Hulford WEEKEND OF JULY 23RD AND JULY 24TH 4:30 pm 8:00 am 10:00 am PRIEST: Visiting Priest Visiting Priest CONTRIBUTIONS FOR JULY 9TH-10TH Visiting Priest LECTORS: Virginia Schaper Mary Reck Friday, July 22nd 7:00 am Miriam Deachan Denise Howard Sunday Collection Online Giving Weekly Total Collection $6679.06 $2192.00 $8871.06 Tuition Assistance $20.00 EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS: Kathy Steck Carol Hughes Mary Dupske Jerriann Blassie Beverly Whitworth Margie Auer Kathe Berger Mary Niemeyer Rosemary Phelan Nancy McCarthy Joyce Holmes Tom Yehlen Gina Horas STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time “…I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God.” Colossians 1:25 Believe it or not, we are all called to evangelize – to continuously grow in our knowledge of and relationship with Jesus and to share those with others. We may not be called to evangelize like St. Paul, but we should look for opportunities to share our Faith with those closest to us, like our family and friends. Dennis Matreci Carolyn Skidmore 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time 4 July 17th, 2016 *SAVE THE DATE* WHAT IS THIS RCIA ANYWAY? . Faith is the foundation of your life. Make that foundation solid! Go slowly, and make sure you've developed the basics well. That will help you avoid discouragement and frustration, two big enemies of faith development. This is exactly how the RCIA works--it is a process of faith development. The process guarantees that the information you receive is accurate and faithful to the Church's teachings in 4 stages from basic questioning to full participation in the Faith. Make sure that you're satisfied with your own faith development in each of the Catholic RCIA stages before moving on to the next. Don't let pressure from anyone else make you move on. Also watch out for calendar-based pressure, Don't say things like, "If I don't start catechesis now, I won't be done this Easter!" That's the wrong basis for making a decision about your faith and your life! If you are interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church or know someone (a relative, friend or neighbor) who might be, please join us this fall. For more detailed information, please call Fr. Bob at the Parish Office (314-352-8100) or Dennis Matreci (314-681-3002). MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THESE EXCITING EVENTS AT SRA!

RETURNING FAMILIES SCHOOL REGISTRATION FOR THE 2016-17 ACADEMIC YEAR ST. RAPHAEL SUMMER CAMP Last week at camp we had our own 4th of July. We celebrated by having the people that protect us come by and have talks about being safe. Mr. Lake came by in his police car, and showed us the inside of his car and let us hear the sirens. The fire department came by and we had a fire safety talk and took a tour of the fire truck. To make the day even better, the wonderful Men's Club grilled us hot dogs and had all the fixins to go with them. Delicious!!! All current SRA families can submit the Letter of Intent, Emergency Contact Form and Eagle Bank Automatic Payment Agreement, along with possible financial aid information to the school office. Please turn in all paperwork as soon as possible. COLLEGE MASS SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2016 All St. Raphael Parishioners leaving for college for the first time or returning to school in the fall are invited to attend this special Mass and receive a blessing. Students are encouraged to wear their College Spirit Shirts. 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time 6 July 17th, 2016 PRINCIPAL’S COLUMN Dear St. Raphael School Families and Parishioners, A group of our teachers, plus myself, traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, last week for a national conference on Teaching Excellence. Not only were we able to enjoy the beautiful city of New Orleans, but we all learned some new things and came back to St. Louis with lots of new ideas and ways of thinking about teaching and learning. Some of our biggest take-aways from the conference: x Boys learn differently from girls and need different strategies for learning - Miss Chris, Preschool x Assessment variations between boys and girls are important, especially in the early grades - Mrs. Smithicki, 1st Grade x Explain with visuals, visuals, and more visuals - Miss Imo, 5th Grade x Kids need to read, talk about it, and then write. Don’t skip the talk about step so they can process their thoughts - Mrs. Runiewicz, Literature 6-7-8 x Hands on lessons and movement enhance learning on all levels AND improve cultural relations - Mrs. Martin, PE PreK-3 x Kids retain more information while DOING something with the information - Miss Amsler, 2nd Grade x The more we can engage students in being responsible for their own learning, the more deeply they will learn Mrs. Vangel, Principal This list is certainly not exhaustive, and, in many cases, the ideas presented at the conference confirmed what we see in our classrooms and already “had a hunch about” from our experience. Most important, these professional development opportunities for teachers spur our discussions and our thinking; they give us the time and the framework for exploring how we can continuously improve both the science and the craft of our teaching. You might also be interested to know that the funding for the majority of our professional development at St. Raphael (including this conference trip) comes from Federal Title II-A monies that are channeled through St. Louis Public Schools. So this is one place where you are seeing some benefit from your tax dollars in improved teacher training and development! Our Music Teacher, Mrs. Caroline Zarinelli, will be returning to St. Raphael for 2016-2017, and we are getting a bit more creative about the way she will be teaching our students. If you attended the Stories of Christmas program that Mrs. Z put together last December, you know that she LOVES teaching kids how to perform through music and drama. We know that kids who perform learn poise, self-confidence, public speaking skills, problem solving, and self-control. These are all incredibly important “soft skills” and that’s not even counting the music and drama part! So that’s where Mrs. Z will be concentrating her efforts. She plans to use musical theater as a vehicle to teach all of those soft skills, as well as to reinforce some of the subject area content that students are learning in other classes, like history and reading. In order to do that, Mrs. Z will not be at St. Raphael every day, and the kids won’t necessarily have music class every week. When Mrs. Z comes to school, she’ll teach lots of kids in big groups for longer periods of time than a traditional music class - it will feel more like a project to the kids than a regular class session. And she will continue her work with our students to grow them into accomplished and confident performers, even those kids who are skeptical about getting on stage! Watch for more details about planned performances throughout the year. That’s it for now. Please remember to put these important dates on your calendars: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
