“Jesus summoned the
Twelve and began to send
them out two by two.”
In the Face of Intolerance,
Christ Offers Love and Mercy
Rev. Chip Hines
Pastor
“So they went off and preached repentance.”
They didn’t go off and preach “do whatever you want to” or “everything goes”, they went off and preached repentance. So that means they went off and told everybody they needed to change the way they were living. I can only
imagine how fun and popular that was and it is not surprising that all of the Apostles, except for John, died a martyr.
We have lived in a time that historically has been kind to Christianity. The past couple of hundred years or so has been
pretty good for the Christian and in the United States, the Catholic has flourished for some time. The old prejudices
against Catholics seemed to have gone away and we probably hit our zenith when John Kennedy was elected president in 1960. I’d argue that from that point it has been an slow but accelerating downward spiral.
Being Catholic in 2015 is once again somewhat difficult, which we can see in part from Mass attendance, which is at
an historic low, and we can see it when so many self-identified Catholics seem content to ignore the moral teachings
of our faith. Yet the last 50 years or so I would also argue that perhaps we have contributed to our own slide downward by ignoring the Gospel line quoted above. We have heard in our parishes a kind of wishy-washy, “I’m ok, you’re
ok” Christianity that has led to some believing that being faithful to the Church that Christ instituted is optional. I’m
here to tell you that is not the case.
We need to get back to our Gospel values and proclaim them in the face of a world that wants to tell you and me to
shut up. They want to tell you and me that our faith is now equated with hate, which is simply not the case, but we
cannot let those who disagree with us frame this argument. We cannot take ourselves from the public discourse and
we cannot let ourselves be marginalized by those who would let a warped sense of tolerance dominate the national
discourse.
In other words, we must preach repentance, all of us. We must preach a loving God who wants us to be in communion
with him. We must preach a God who loves us enough to offer us the chance to receive His Son in a sacrament and
also receive forgiveness in a sacramental form. We must preach repentance because we sin and despite our sinfulness
God has still provided for us to be reconciled with Him. Mercy means there is something to be merciful about. One
doesn’t need mercy if one is not a sinner but if we’re honest with ourselves we all know in our hearts that we are sinners and so Jesus offer us this mercy. Wonderful right? Except we know that people ignore this offer. They ignore it for
it is far easier to stay the same than it is to change. Repentance and mercy require change, and are we willing to live
that out? This is the question we must ask ourselves, each one of us, so that we truly can be called Christian.
Peace.

The Life of Prayer
“In the New Covenant, prayer is the living relationship
of the children of God with their Father who is good beyond measure, with his Son Jesus Christ and with the
Holy Spirit. The grace of the Kingdom is ‘the union of
the entire holy and royal Trinity . . . with the whole human spirit.’ Thus, the life of prayer is the habit of being
in the presence of the thrice-holy God and in communion with him.”
—Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2565

Friends of Fr. Leo, Old and New
Join together to celebrate a reunion with our beloved Fr. Leopold Mushobozi on Sunday, July 19. He will be coming from Tanzania, where he
serves 4,000+ parishioners and many more at 19 Outstations in his Diocese, to Walpole to spend his well-deserved vacation. Fr. Leo is looking
forward to seeing and being with us. A reception after the 11am Mass on
the 19th, will be held in the Blessed Sacrament School Cafeteria.
We hope to see you there.
A Message from the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul
In the Gospel today we see how Jesus sent his Apostles out two by two.
From the beginning of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, members have
visited those who are less fortunate in pairs, “two by two”. It is there,
in the family setting, that Vincentians listen, offer humble advice, and
render assistance. Have you considered answering the call to help serve
the needy by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?
Seeking Your Hymnal Help
Erica Johnson, Director of Pastoral Music, is still seeking your input.
After years of using annual hymans that must be bought and recycled
each year, she is planning to equip our parish with a permanent hymnal. The time has come to settle on one book of liturgical music that we
will use for years.
There are many options available, but all have different sets hymns and
there will necessarily be a change in our repertoire. Some will be new to
us and some may not appear in these other hymnals. To help Erica in this

process, she would love to know what hymns are important to you. If you
have a moment after Mass or over email ([email protected]), let her know specifically the hymns that you
want to continue singing year after year. And thank you for your input!
Second Collection
This week’s second collection will be the monthly Balance the Budget
collection, typically held on the first or second Sunday of each month,
and is used to do just that: balance our operating budget. During the
summer months as people go on vacation, the need becomes even
greater, and so the monthly Balance the Budget collection helps to
offset the deficit. Many thanks for your generosity!

A Native Son Seeks Your Support
My name is Mike Hyatt, and I have been a member of Blessed Sacrament Parish my
whole life. I attended BSS and then Xaverian Brothers High School, and I recently
graduated from Northeastern University. During my time at Northeastern, I became
very involved with the Catholic Center, the university’s campus ministry run by the
Brotherhood of Hope, which has continually challenged me to enter into a deeper
relationship with the Lord and the Church.
My experience has lead to a calling to continue to serve the spiritually poor on college campuses and evangelize those around me. This upcoming year, I will serve as
a missionary at Florida State University. My role as a Mission Leader will consist of
reaching out to the young men on campus and meeting with them in a mentor role
to help bring them into our Catholic community and into a deeper relationship with Christ, as well as a leadership
role for upperclassmen who are eager to evangelize on campus. Although much of what I will be doing is outreach
work, I know this year will be pivotal in my own faith formation, equipping me to be a more radical disciple when I
return home in a year. In order to take part in this service opportunity, I must raise the funds to be able to support
myself. My goal is to raise $15,000 for 10 months of expenses, including room and board and ministry-related costs.
The weekend of July 18/19, Blessed Sacrament will be holding a second collection to support my mission. I would
be grateful for your support in helping me answer God’s call. You can write a check made out to the Catholic Student
Union at Florida State University, with my name designated in the memo, or donate online, following the instructions
for designating my name at http://fsucatholic.org/donate. This is also useful if you would like to make a monthly
donation instead. To learn more, please feel free to call me at 508-272-0998 or email me at [email protected].
Again, thank you for your support, and you are all in my prayers. God bless!

Introducing our new Youth Minister
Hi! My name is Valentina Rossi, and I am thrilled to introduce myself
as your new Youth Minister. I am originally from New Hampshire, but
I grew up in Tennessee just outside Nashville. I’ve been involved in
youth ministry since I graduated high school myself, and I’m ecstatic
to be here serving your parish. I truly mean it when I say, “serve”. Primary catechisis is the responsibility of parents, so parents, I work for you! I’m here to help you
evangelize to your teens, and I have lots of ideas of how to do that, but
I also need your help. I would love to hear what ideas you have for the
teens in this parish, and I’m also going to need your help as volunteers
and chaperones for all of our activities. Whether it’s our weekly youth
group meetings for high-schoolers, our monthly meetings for middle-schoolers, overseeing individual service projects, or chaperoning
trips, you can be involved in many different ways and commitment levels. I will be sharing my time between Blessed Sacrament and St. Mary’s, but you can always reach me at (508) 9211028 ext. 1030 or at [email protected].
Summer Session Faith Formation
We are so excited to introduce a new and exciting way to
keep faith alive this summer for our pre-teens and teens—a
summer Faith Formation program! This 4-day program
focuses on the Mass and surprising new ways to look at our
faith and traditions. In this unique learning experience, with
the aid of powerful cinematography and guided workbooks,
students will learn to appreciate the beauty and mystery
that is the Mass and grow to desire to attend more often.
Middle school students will attend the program Monday-Wednesday, 8–11am and Thursday, 9am–12 noon during the
week of July 20–23. The students will participate in daily Mass each morning, so we ask that you arrive promptly each
day. They will be required to attend every day in order to receive credit for completing the program. They will also be
required to participate in 4 service project/activities—with a variety of times and places available—throughout the
school year—along with attending Mass, of course. If you have any questions, contact Karen Brady, [email protected], 508-668-4974 ext 1003. To register, please go to http://13ma.tt/M13SummerSession
Seeking Middle & High School Blessed Sacrament and St Mary’s Students
It’s that time again as we approach the beginning of summer and we prepare to host Vacation Bible School 2015: Everest, “Conquering Challenges with God’s Mighty Power” and we need you. The key to the week’s success has always
been the volunteer work of our middle and high school students. We have been blessed over the past few years to
have the most amazing volunteers that have truly made our weeks at VBS so memorable.
VBS will be held July 13 to 17, from 9am to noon for children in grades 1-5. An organizational meeting will be held
during the week of July 6, (date and time to be determined) and more information will follow. We hope that volunteers can work for a minimum of three days. VBS is a very fun way to earn service hours for Confirmation, National
Honor Society, sports teams, and school as well as other programs. To sign up to volunteer, please visit http://13ma.
tt/2015Matt13VBSVolunteer. The volunteer website will ask for your information and ask for your preferences. Please
send Mrs. Karen Brady an email at [email protected] and let her know your availability as soon as possible
as we will need to evaluate staffing needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Don’t Miss the Mt. Everest Expedition This Summer
Have you ever wanted to climb to the highest peaks in the world and see the view from the
top? Or maybe, you just want to explore the beauty God created in faraway places and
exotic lands? You have just a few days left before we depart!
Join Klymer, Mallory, and all our animal friends for a fantastic trip to the frosty
peaks of Mount Everest this summer at our week-long Vacation Bible School
program. Together we’ll explore what it takes to reach the icy peaks of Everest, journey through Nepal with our Sherpa Guides and learn how we can
conquer any challenge with God’s Mighty Power!
The program is Monday to Friday, July 13-17, 9am to 12pm at St Mary Parish, East Walpole. The cost is $50 per child with $100 family max. Any
child entering Grades 1-5 in Fall 2015 is eligible to enroll. Where else
can you find icy winter fun in the summertime without leaving town
and enjoy it alongside all your best friends? Online registration is still open and will accept PayPal and credit & debit
cards. You may also select the Pay-By-Check option. Scholarships are available (please inquire if your family is eligible
before requesting a scholarship on the registration form). Go to http://13ma.tt/M13Everest to register online.
Looking for Blessed Sacrament Alumni
This year Blessed Sacrament School celebrates 50 years of academic
and spiritual excellence! If you attended Blessed Sacrament School or
you are the parents of an alum/alumna, we would love to hear from you
so we can share information about all 50th Anniversary events. Please
contact BSS Director of Advancement, Seana Dorich at [email protected] for more information on how you can get involved. The Church’s Mission
In commissioning the apostles in today’s Gospel, Jesus gives them, and us, a preview of His Church’s mission after the
resurrection. His instructions to the Twelve echo those of God to the twelve tribes of Israel on the eve of their exodus
from Egypt. The Israelites likewise were sent out with no bread and only one set of clothes, wearing sandals and carrying a staff (see Exodus 12:11; Deuteronomy 8:2–4). Like the Israelites, the apostles are to rely solely on the providence
of God and His grace.
Perhaps, also, Mark wants us to see the apostles’ mission, the mission of the Church, as that of leading a new exodus—
delivering peoples from their exile from God and bringing them to the promised land, the kingdom of heaven. Like
Amos in today’s First Reading, the apostles are not “professionals,” who earn their bread by prophesying. Like Amos,
they are simply men (see Acts 14:15) summoned from their ordinary jobs and sent by God to be shepherds of their
brothers and sisters.
Again this week, we hear the theme of rejection: Amos experiences it, and Jesus warns the apostles that some will not
welcome or listen to them. The Church is called, not necessarily to be successful, but only to be faithful to God’s command. With authority and power given to it by Jesus, the Church proclaims God’s peace and salvation to those who
believe in Him, as we sing in today’s Psalm.
This word of truth, this gospel of salvation, is addressed to each of us, personally, as Paul proclaims in today’s Epistle.
In the mystery of God’s will, we have been chosen from before the foundation of the world—to be His sons and daughters, to live for the praise of His glory. Let us, then, give thanks for the Church today, and for the spiritual blessings He
has bestowed upon us. Let us resolve to further the Church’s mission—to help others hear the call to repentance and
welcome Christ into their lives.

Message of the
Week
Mark 6:7-13
Jesus gave the Twelve Apostles a remarkable mission.
He sent them out two by
two to preach repentance,
to cast out evil spirits, and
to heal the sick. And he
made them do it in a spirit of
complete dependence upon
God. These men—who did
not even have the witness of other apostles or saints to
inspire or give them courage, and who had not yet beheld the Resurrection of the Lord—stepped out into the
world with literally nothing but their faith in this man
named Jesus. And look what happened! “The Twelve
drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil
many who were sick and cured them.”
The apostles’ trust in God’s power to work these miracles through their hands began with trust in God’s
power to provide for their own needs. This experience
bolstered their faith and encouraged them in their mission. When we find ourselves questioning whether we
really have the “power” to do what God wants us to do,
then we ought to step back and try to depend a little
more directly upon God’s providence. Surrendering this
element of care for ourselves allows God to meet our
Weekly
needs himself.
And Readings
when he does, our faith will flourish
too.

Everyday
Stewardship
When one works for a parish
or church organization or is
closely aligned with a Christian community, it causes
some to be nervous. I always get a kick out of meeting people for the first time
and when they hear I work
in the church, they want to
tell me how they have been
meaning to get back to attending a church, or how they
have not yet found a place to attend on Sundays since
they moved to the area, like, ten years ago. Of course,
it’s funny now how all my non-Catholic friends want to
tell me how much they like Pope Francis, as if I have tea
with him every Friday at the Vatican.
That being said, as a Christian I do have a responsibility
to share the Good News with others. If I had a powerful
experience losing weight, finding a great restaurant, or
hearing a great piece of music, I would want to share
that with others. Surely my relationship with Jesus
Christ and what He has done for me by transforming my
life is better than any weight loss, steak, or new band.
How can I hide the most important aspect of my life?
Being a good steward helps them see what Jesus has
done for me. They see that I am striving to be more giving, more gracious, and more welcoming. Hopefully,
they see something they want also. I can tell them more
