This weekend we are happy to welcome Sister Lisa Valentini, MSC – a Missionary Sister of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – who has come to share information and experiences with us here at St. Michael’s Church about the mission endeavors of her Sisters. Sister Lisa’s Congregation was founded as a Missionary Order in the year 1900 – and at the moment there are 735 MSC Sisters serving Our Lord by spreading the Good News in 21 countries around the world. Sister Lisa has been a missionary for over 30 years – and is very happy to be able to tell us about the ministry of her sisters and about her own missionary work in Perú, Mexico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Today’s second collection will give us a unique opportunity to be a part of the work of the MSC Sisters. Please be generous! Thank you and God bless you. Page 3 Mass of Installation We are very pleased to announce that Bishop David M. O’Connell will celebrate Mass at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 21st for the installation of Father John K.

The next step in the Faith in Our Future (FIOF) process is to respond to the preliminary recommendations of the Diocesan Planning Commission (DPC) by October 1, 2016. As part of that effort, we will have a parish meeting of registered St. Michael’s parishioners to explain Faith in Our Future more fully and have a conversation about it. The meeting’s agenda will be limited to Faith in Our Future and to questions, concerns, and opinions pertaining to that specific topic and to the DPC’s preliminary recommendations. We will use the current list of registered St. Michael’s parishioners for an admission/sign-in sheet. The parish meeting will be on Tuesday, August 9 from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in the Upper Church. Background. The response of the DPC to our Cohort’s suggestions was published in our July 17 Parish bulletin and posted on the Parish and Diocesan websites on July 8. The DPC’s suggestions included “linking” St. Michael’s with a merged St. Jerome’s and St. Mary’s. These preliminary recommendations of the DPC (as part of the FIOF process) were also addressed in the July 24 bulletin. Two-page special inserts regarding FIOF appeared in the June 26 and July 17 bulletins. At all the Masses of the July 9 and 10 weekend, Fr. John announced and briefly explained the DCP recommendations. Please Pray. Please continue praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit and for the success of Faith in Our Future as our preparation for change and its implementation marches forward in our Diocese and in our Parish.

Charles Weiser Diane Delmar Week 7 Bob Lang Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 31, 2016 Parish Day of Prayer for Vocations Rosary (in its entirety) at four points during the day, Confessions at scheduled time.,Evening Prayer, and the blessing and raising of our new Vatican flag and American flag. The schedule for the day follows. “In traditionally Christian countries, the worrying fall in the number of priests, the rising of their average age and the requirements of the new evangelization are shaping a new situation for the Church….The Christian community’s prayer has always reinforced in the people of God a shared awareness with regard to vocations, a sense of a ‘spiritual solidarity’. Wherever an integrated pastoral ministry - with families, young people or in the mission field develops and grows together with a pastoral ministry for vocations, there is a flowering of priestly vocations. The local Church becomes truly ‘responsible for the birth and development of priestly vocations.’.....All the members of the Church are responsible for looking after priestly vocations. ‘The Second Vatican Council was quite explicit in this regard: “The duty of fostering vocations falls on the whole Christian community, and they should dis- Thursday, August 4, 2016 As part of our effort to respond to the "clear and pressing" need for priests and for vocations to consecrated life, our parish will be conducting a “Parish Day of Prayer for Vocations” on Thursday, August 4, 2016 (the Memorial of St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests). The “day” will be a day-long, continuous prayer for vocations beginning at 8:00 a.m. and concluding at 8:00 p.m. All are invited and urged to attend and to participate for all or any portion of the day at any time that is convenient for your schedule. The day will begin with the parish’s usual daily Mass at 8:00 a.m. and end with a special Mass for Vocations at 7:15 p.m. The 7:15 p.m. Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Garry Koch, Diocesan Director of Vocations for Monmouth County. Throughout the day we will have Eucharistic Adoration and also hourly prayers for vocations at the “top of the hour,” the Page 5 charge it principally by living full Christian lives”. Only on the basis of this conviction will pastoral work on behalf of vocations be able to show its truly ecclesial aspect, develop a harmonious plan of action, and make use of specific agencies and appropriate instruments of communion and co-responsibility.’….Prayer initiatives, and most especially Eucharistic adoration, which are prepared and conducted in a meaningful way and with a profound liturgical sense, can highlight the extraordinary importance of the priestly vocation.” -Pastoral Guidelines for Fostering Vocations to Priestly Ministry (March 2012) by Archbishop Jean-Louis Bruguès, Congregation for Catholic Education Schedule for Parish Day of Prayer for Vocations 8:00 a.m…………………….……………………………………………………....…………………….

We pray that we have helped to bring God’s love and peace to His people in need. Balance Our lives are delicately balanced. A small shift in one area of life can set us off balance. A major change can send us spinning out of control. Stephen and Paduan Ministers can help when life gets out of balance. They listen and care, and most importantly, bring the stability of Jesus' love and grace into people's lives. If your life has shifted out of balance, consider contacting us. We will try to help to bring balance back into your life. Our Extraordinary Ministers are available for our parishioners to visit the sick, the elderly, and to bring Communion. Please contact us if you need us at 732-483-0360 ext. 120. Volunteers have been hard at work getting ready for the coffeehouse next Sunday (Aug. 7): Hangout @ St. Mike’s!

I fear the loss of humanity. I fear the lack of kindness to each other. I fear the loss of HOPE. I fear my children’s future. I fear more the future of my possible grandchildren. I fear the future, period. But I have God in my heart and I believe that there is hope for us all. Life is to be lived. Problems can be solved. Even when we get in over our heads. Tread water. Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. “This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won’t get it back later.” Laura Schlessinger “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34 “Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.” Marrianne Williamson “Under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time, cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Peter 5:6-7 But it can also cause us not to experience life possibilities, life’s new joys.
