JUNE 14, 2015 – ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIMEAs we begin our summer season and the year’s long stretch of Ordinary Time, God seems to be a gardener. Trees and shoots and sprouts appear in both the first reading and the Gospel. Perhaps our prayer at the beginning of this growing season can be for God to help us to nurture the good seed of faith that has been planted in us, so that we can bear fruit for God’s reign.

Sunday, June 14, 2015Ez 17:22-24; 2 Cor 5:6-10; Mk 4:26-34In Saint Mark’s Gospel today, Jesus speaks in parables so that the people can understand what He is saying. Using everyday examples with which His listeners would have been familiar, He creates images in their minds of what the reign of God is like. As we listen today to His words, let us too be drawn into the story and eagerly learn what Jesus has to tell us.
Sunday, June 21, 2015Job 38:1, 8–11; 2 Cor 5:14–17; Mark 4:35–41
The Sanctuary LampThe Sanctuary Lamp burns constantly to proclaim the real presence of Jesus in the Tabernacle. The week, it also reminds us to pray for safety from all storms and natural disasters, especially Hurricanes.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

“Keeping the spirit of the Gospel means that Catholic institutions are to bear witness in love to the full truth about the human person by providing social, charitable, and educational services in a manner that fully reflects the God-given dignity of the human person.”
– Archbishop William E. Lori, Chairman, Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty,
on the “Freedom to Bear Witness”...
The Fortnight for Freedom: Freedom to Bear Witness will take place from June 21 to July 4, 2015, a time when our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power – St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. The theme of this year’s Fortnight will focus on the “freedom to bear witness” to the truth of the Gospel.
Take Action! Text the word FREEDOM to 377377 for updates.
We have 21 seminarians – truly a blessing – and we pray the number will continue to increase. With this blessing comes the need for support so we can continue providing for their educational needs. The diocesan-wide Special Collection for Seminarians will be next weekend. Gifts to the collection support the education and formation costs associated with seminarians, which continually rise. Your gift to this important appeal makes the difference for our faith leaders of tomorrow by providing necessary educational funding. Please experience the joy of giving and join us as we work together to continue God’s work.
Question of the Week? Faced with the Church’s or my own slow growth and constant need for renewal, what can
I do practically this week to take Paul’s advice and “be courageous”?
NEW
GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
TO MEET IN ORANGE BEACH AT SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER
Foley, Alabama – A new, community-based Grief Support Group has started meeting in Orange Beach. The Orange Beach Grief Support Group is open to the public and will meet the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at the Orange Beach Senior Activity Center located at 26251 Canal Road in Orange Beach.
Led by Cindy Still, M.R.E, and Dottie Dawson, LBSW, of Community Hospice, the Orange Beach Grief Support Group is open to anyone having a difficult time coping with the loss of a loved one. “We organized this group to help citizens of our area cope with the practical and emotional challenges we face when we lose a mother, father, daughter, son, spouse or other loved one. For some it is a sister or a brother, a close family member. For others, they may have lost a best friend and just need a friendly ear to listen,” stated Cindy Still, Chaplain with Community Hospice.
The Orange Beach Grief Support Group is confidential and the group members create the “topics” of each meeting, discussing current issues, fears, personal successes and areas of help. These meetings are open to the public; you do not need to be affiliated with Community Hospice or the City of Orange Beach to attend.
For more information, please contact Cindy Still or Dottie Dawson at 251-943-5015, or Carolyn Vines, Senior Programs Coordinator with the City of Orange Beach, at 251-981-3440.
Labels and Box Tops for Education for St. Benedict School and Cancelled Stamps for Visitation Monastery are still being collected. Please place your labels or stamps in the containers in the cry room.
