We hear about Jesus raising a boy from the dead on this day in the Gospel of Luke (7: 11-17). This Wednesday, we will celebrate our St. Mary School Baccalaureate Mass at 8:30 a.m. In the evening, we will celebrate the graduation ceremony of our 8th graders. We thank the graduates and their families for choosing our school, and we wish our graduates the very best life has to offer. I remind the graduates that part of graduating from our School means that the faculty and staff will always be here for you should you need us. On Thursday, St. Mary School will dismiss for the summer. On Friday of this week (June 10th), we will go back to having our Friday morning Masses at 7:30 a.m. until the new school year starts once again. Recently, the Diocese of Raleigh announced new priest assignments. In the Cape Fear Deanery, Fr. Marco González will be leaving Whiteville and Elizabethtown to become Pastor of St. Elizabeth Parish in Farmville, N.C. Fr. Joe Yaeger will leave Farmville to become Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Whiteville and its Mission of Our Lady of the Snows in Elizabethtown. Best wishes to both men.

Around the Area Carolina Catholic talks to Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie For our first show in June, we speak with Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, a medical doctor, mother of five, and a policy advisor for The Catholic Association. She writes and speaks in both Spanish and English about Catholicism, religious freedom, and the intersection of faith and science. As a Hispanic, she brings a special focus on social issues that affect the growing Latino population, such as the state of the family and the real needs of the poor and marginalized. As a physician, she is able to address complex subjects relating to government health policy and its true impact on the people it purports to help. We focus in this show on her May 9, 2016 opinion piece in the New York Post entitled, “The ACLU’s deadly anti-Catholic vendetta," which challenges this report from the ACLU: Health Care Denied. This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio on stations 91.7 FM, 93.1FM, and 103.1 FM Saturday, June 4th and 11th, at 11 a.m. and Sunday, June 5th and 12th, at 6 p.m. oon This show can also be heard on our website at wilmingtoncatholicradio.com.

You have often heard the explanation of “ordinary time”. If anything – it is not so ordinary – these 34+ Sundays during the Liturgical year because the Liturgy continues t unravel for us the great mystery of God’s love for humanity. (Ordinary only refers to “numbers – ordinals – which are counting the weeks before we begin another Liturgical Year with the Holy Season of Advent.) There is certainly nothing ordinary about Elijah healing the son of the widow of Zarephath or Paul being converted to become a disciple of Jesus or Jesus breathing life back into a young man. We definitely have a God who cares for us and whose Spirit breathes within us. During this past week many people were assisted at the Outreach, thanks to the outpouring of so many parishioners and non parishioners who share time, talent and treasure with us. One elderly woman we were serving remarked to me that when she stared out this morning she wasn’t too happy, but once served she “can’t stop smiling and every day is a blessed day but I didn’t think it would be this blessed!” We were able to pay some rent for her as she had used her rent money to fix her refrigerator. She also needed a small air-conditioner and we had one, which was a miracle in itself, and so she truly was blessed. This is what serving God by serving others is all about. One act of kindness just multiplies. Our young first and second graders Art Sale netted $400 and a neighbor was so impressed , she matched it! The children were ecstatic and so will several families be when they are assisted in their crisis. Special Need for the Week: We are looking into purchasing nutritious drinks, such as boost and ensure for those who are fragile and in need of this type of supplement. A bottle or two will help us launch this new venture. Any household items are appreciated.

Isaac, SU at the Parish Offices listed on the front page of the bulletin.

Matthew 5:16 It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Spring Concert evenings. Our talented teachers and students enjoyed sharing with you what they have learned during the last two quarters. We hope that you enjoyed the evening. On behalf of the teachers, I would like to express our thanks for the lovely Teacher Appreciation Luncheon that was provided by the H.S.A. Special thanks to Mrs. Ashley Putney who has been the hospitality chair for this school year. Thanks also to the parent volunteers who did lunch duty so that the teachers could be free. You are all appreciated by us. H.S.A. Board Meeting - The Board and I met last week. I am delighted to report for those who may not have been present at the performances, that the DWTS Fundraiser raised $15,647.44. We are so grateful to Sydney Penny and Serena Lau who chaired this event. Some of the proceeds of this event will be used for student enrichment activities, supplemental classroom materials, as well as Science materials for the next school year. Thank you to all the committee members who worked to make this event such a success. Science Lab Project - A planning committee has been working together to plan the creation of a new lab in the Tileston Center. Plans have been drawn for the space, a major donor has met with the committee, and we have determined that we will create this space in phases due to the costs. You will be hearing more about the opportunities of how you or possibly your company may help us realize this goal. If you work for a company which may support this type of project, please let me know.
