Human Concerns Year of Mercy Tours At the tri-parish Lenten retreat, Bishop Sklba encouraged us to reach

out into our own community to show compassion and care. This

summer, the Tri-parish Human Concerns Committee is sponsoring

tours of three charitable organizations that we currently support so

that more of us can understand their ministries.

On June 18, we will see the work of the Christ Child Society’s resale

shop, 4033 West Good Hope Road. Park in Our Lady of Good Hope’s

front lot. Meet at the store at 10:00AM for a presentation and shopping

opportunity. Contact Linda Nugent (414-526-5510) with questions.

Don’t miss the fun! Our Parish Festival will take place June 17, 18, and 19.

Please check out the Festival flyer or go to the Festival

page at www.stbweb.com for all the exciting events at

making a donation:

Rummage Sale

Items can be left on the Rest-A-While bench or brought to the parish

office. Monetary donations can be dropped in the collection basket or

Both the first reading and the Gospel remind us

powerfully that every breath we take is a gift

from God. How conscious am I of this first and

most precious gift? Am I a good steward of the

life and time with which I have been blessed?

Summer Action Retreat Saint Lawrence Seminary High School in Mount Calvary, Wisconsin,

is offering a Summer Action Retreat for boys in grades 7, 8, and 9 on

June 20-23. This year’s retreat focuses on “Loving Like Jesus.” In the

spirit of St. Francis, the retreat reflects on the role of service,

community living, and personal prayer with Jesus in order to learn

to love like Him. The $50 registration fee will be paid for any parish

youth who is interested. Contact the parish office by June 13.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Half the liturgical year 2016 is completed after six months of

extraordinary celebrations. The Incarnation mystery: Jesus’ advent,

nativity, epiphany. The Paschal mystery: Jesus’ passion, death,

resurrection, Pentecost’s Holy Spirit. The solemnities of Holy Trinity

and Jesus’ Body and Blood. Today the Church resumes Sundays in

Ordinary Time, but with a Gospel of extraordinary mercy: Jesus raises

a dead man to life. Yet the one who benefits most from his

extraordinary mercy is not the dead son but his widowed mother. With

her husband and only son deceased, this woman’s material support, in

that patriarchal society, had vanished. So had her emotional support,

leaving her helpless, abandoned, on society's “peripheries.” One of

Pope Francis’ hopes in calling this Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy

is to transform us into more extraordinary Christians, by making our

caring outreach to just such vulnerable people, and our practical self-

sacrificing love for them, our ordinary, daily, Christian way of life!
