Sixth Sunday of Easter Sunday, May 25, 2014 Greetings!
Many of us are checking our ‘bucket lists’ to see what are the ‘important things’ we want to do---or see---before we can no longer physically or mentally enjoy them. Imagine for some people that writing that list is really easy. Not so for me. Just as I scratch one item off----more ‘things’ seem to come along. That could be a sign that I plan to live a long life! Since Fabric Debot is having a big ‘spring’ sale I decided to re-organize my bucket list. Or maybe it is the Holy Spirit making ‘suggestions’ again. When I read the following news release---I went back to the list and made sure I included some ‘big spiritual’ opportunities also. “About 60 retired or active duty U.S. military personnel packed their uniforms, flags, wheelchairs, canes and the inevitable emotional baggage of their daily struggles to take part in a pilgrimage to Lourdes. While many of these men and women, who had been injured in some way in the line of duty, went to seek peace and healing from this sacred place, some said they also found enormous and unexpected blessings from the people they encountered on their journey. The soldiers, together with family members or caregivers, took part in a "Warriors to Lourdes" pilgrimage, sponsored by the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services and the Knights of Columbus. The Knights covered the costs for the wounded personnel for the weeklong encounter of prayer, healing and friendship. For many of them, the May 13-19 visit to Lourdes -- where Mary appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 -- was their first pilgrimage ever. Kirsten Sippel-Klug, a physical therapist at the U.S. Army Health Clinic in Stuttgart, Germany, went on the pilgrimage as a volunteer to serve soldiers needing assistance. At first her idea was just to help others on their spiritual journey; she did not think much about her own. She said she saw going to Lourdes as a service, a way to honor her very Catholic grandmother, and as a way to get a "jumpstart back to an active religious faith" after fighting stage 3 breast cancer. She said the language and cultural barriers at her local German parish have kept her from truly feeling a part of the faith community. “(Catholic News Service) I don’t think I will be going to Lourdes----but I could get to the Grotto. Or I could take a pilgrimage to visit someone I haven’t seen in a long time. Or maybe I could sit in my backyard and let God do the talking for a change! Deo Gratias--------Barbara M. Harrison
SHARING OUR FAITH CAPTIAL CAMPAIGN It has been suggested by the Archdiocese to remind parishioners who made pledges to the Sharing Our Faith,
Shaping our Future Capital Campaign to continue with their pledge promises and the parish wants parishioners to be reminded that St. Philip receives a portion of your pledges which has provided the parish with needed assistance
for their general operating budget. Included with the letter updating the parishes on the campaign, was a check made payable to the parish for $1,179.00 which was based on your generous donations. Thank you to all of you
who are fulfilling your pledge promises.
DIVISION/CLINTON FAIR UPDATES This year's Street Fair will be on Saturday, July 26. The Pastoral Council began hosting a children's concert two years ago and it has become an important annual event. We offer a free concert & church tours. We sell hot dogs,
Polish sausage, chips, soda, juice, & water. We were fortunate to have much of the major event costs donated, but
as with many things, donor's ability to continue has changed. We are looking for donations to help us cover the cost of the musician's as well as food and other expenses. If you can assist us with contributions, just drop
donations in an envelope in the collection marked Street Fair or mail it to the office. As always we also need volunteers to help plan and on the day of the event! Questions? Attend the meeting on Sunday, June 8 after the
9:30am Mass or e-mail Rose [email protected].
STEWARDSHIP CORNER Disciples as Stewards: All disciples as followers of Jesus and as members of the Church are called to discipleship and stewardship. Mature disciples make a conscious decision to follow Jesus, no matter the cost. And Christian
disciples experience conversions – life shaping changes of mind and heart, committing themselves to the Lord. Christian stewards respond in a particular way to be a disciple. Stewardship has the power to shape and mold our
understanding of our lives and the ways in which we live. Jesus’ disciples and Christian stewards recognize God as
the origin of life, giver of freedom and sources of all things. We are grateful for the gifts we have received and are eager to use them to show love for God and for one another. We look to the life of Jesus for guidance in living as
Christian stewards.
