DO YOU NEED
SERVICE HOURS?
ALTAR SERVERS NEEDED!
Many schools are now requiring service hours.
If you are a student in need of service hours, consider becoming an altar server.
Altar servers are scheduled according to Mass preference and can block out dates for vacation
time. You can easily earn 20-30 service hours per year by serving at Mass 2-3 times per
month. If you are interested in more information about becoming an altar server, please call the parish
office at 302-368-4665.
Thank you to all who made a donation and/
or pledge to this year’s Annual Catholic
Appeal – whether that was through the
Circle of Honor, the mailing, or the in-pew
solicitation. I am very grateful for your
generosity and I know that Bishop Malooly
is as well.
The goal set this year for our parish by the
diocese was $99,000. The pledged amount is
$109,465. - $63,707.12 of that has been
collected by the diocese.
That means we have exceeded our goal by $10,465, all of which we will receive
back from the diocese in January 2018…as
long as we all fulfill our pledges.
Thank you again for your generosity and I
encourage all to complete their pledge.
God Bless,
Fr Mark

On August 19, 2017 at
11:00 AM at Church of the
Holy Child, Bishop Malooly
will ordain eight deacons
for service throughout the
Diocese of Wilmington.
Three of those eight men
come from Holy Family:
David Feaster, Darrell Lashomb, and Joseph
Roach.
These men, along with their wives Julie, Beth, and
Barbara, have been engaged in a formation process
for the past five years that has prepared them for or-
dination.
Deacons, as ordained clergy in the Church, are called
to three general areas of service: the ministry of the
Word, the ministry of liturgy, and the ministry of
charity. They receive their diaconal assignments from
the Bishop, to whom they make a promise of obedi-
ence at ordination. Deacons continue to support them-
selves in their secular occupations after ordination
and generally serve without remuneration.
We congratulate David, Darrell, and Joe, and offer
them our prayers for years of fruitful and fulfilling
ministry in the Diocese of Wilmington.
Our three new deacons will be available to
receive your good wishes and congratulations in
the parish hall immediately after all the Masses
on the weekend of August 26/27. Please stop in
and share in their joy.
The parable of the sower is one on the most recognized parables. It is found in three of the gos-
pels and is one of the few parables that Christ takes the time to explain. While we all hope to be
that seed which lands in good soil and bears fruits, we also must recognize that there are three
other types of soil that endangers us from being fruitful. This week as you reflect on this para-
ble, ask yourself how fruitful are you? You have received the word, but are you living by it and
spreading it to others? Do you struggle in our overly secularized world, falling prey to worldly
priorities? Jesus warns us of these pitfalls so don’t turn a blind eye to them. He has called us all to
be fruitful and multiply, what are you doing to answer this call?

As part of the Diocese of Wilmington’s
150th anniversary celebration,
a pilgrimage to Annecy, Rome and Assisi will take
place April 16 – 26, 2018.
And you are invited!
Annecy, the birthplace of Saint Francis de Sales, patron saint of
the Diocese of Wilmington, is an alpine town in southeastern
France, where Lake Annecy feeds into the Thiou River. It’s
known for its cobbled streets, winding canals, and pastel-colored
houses. Rome, Italy’s capital, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city
with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture
and culture on display, including ancient ruins such as the
Forum and the Colosseum. It is the home of Vatican City, head-
quarters of the Roman Catholic Church, St. Peter’s Basilica and
the Vatican Museums, as well as the burial place of Blessed
Pope Pius IX, the diocese’s founder. Assisi is a hill town in
central Italy’s Umbria region. It was the birthplace of St. Fran-
cis, one of Italy’s patron saints.
For more information about this affordable, once-in-a-lifetime
pilgrimage, including a day-to-day itinerary, exclusive features,
