“From the Pen of Father Len”

Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Titus Parish,

Praised be Jesus Christ - now and forever! While I was still in school and summer vacation had just begun, it would really annoy me when a certain department store chain (which will remain unnamed) would start advertising “back to school” sales immediately around the 4th of July. I thought to myself: “my gosh! We just got out 3 weeks ago and they’re already telling us to get ready to go back! Couldn’t they wait until at least August?” Well, this past week, I heard a commercial about getting ready to “go back to school” by purchasing this certain product. Wow! These people even beat out the department store people. The children haven’t been out of school 3 weeks and are being told to prepare to go back. What happened to VACATION time? It seems to have disappeared! We all need a time to rest for a while. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, a vacation means “a period of time that a person spends away from home, school, or business usually in order to relax or travel.” I like that definition—especially as a Catholic Priest and Pastor, since nowhere in the definition does it excuse our Catholic people for being away from God or attending Mass as part of their vacation plans. In fact, spending time with God at Mass and in private prayer is one of the BEST WAYS we can REST and RELAX. (How often I have heard it said that people need a vacation after their vacation!) Many people, while they are on vacation will say that they couldn't get to Mass because they couldn’t find a Catholic Church. Well, thanks to our computer technology, there’s a convenient solution to that problem. As you are looking for hotels to stay in, restaurants to eat in, and activities to participate in, you can find the nearest Church and the Mass times by going to any computer and typing in MASSTIMES.ORG. It will tell you where and when Masses are held in every diocese in the United States Hope you all get a chance to “rest” for awhile this summer. Try always to rest with God. It’ll really help you relax and feel physically, mentally, and spiritually refreshed and rejuvenated. Peace, Fr. Len

ST. JOHN’S HOSPICE CASSEROLE PROGRAM

St. Titus Parish has been making casseroles for St. John’s Hospice in Center City Philadelphia for over 25 years. The casseroles are the “Main Course” of a complete, hot meal that is served to hundreds of God’s poor and homeless who come to St. John’s for their daily bread. Please do not feel restricted to the recipes which can be found on the recipe sheets near the casserole pan in the vestibule. Your favorite recipe is most welcome! So are store bought casseroles such as Stouffers or Oncor. St. John’s provides us with pans and lids for your dishes. If you provide your own, please use a standard “half tray”. Each casserole serves 6-8 men. Each month, St. John’s picks up the dishes from our freezer. Here are some useful hints: �� Please bring your casseroles frozen to church

and put them in the freezer located in the vestibule of the Social Hall. If the door to the Social Hall is locked, please leave the casserole with a sacristan or maintenance.

�� Prepare your recipe so that it can be eaten with a plastic “spork” (a combination spoon and fork).

�� Please mark the lid with the main ingredients and date you prepared your casserole.

FR. LEN’S LAUGHING CORNER

Politically Speaking

The Church pastor phoned the city’s newspaper. “Thank you very much,” he said, “for the error you made when you printed my sermon title on the Church page. The topic I sent you was What Jesus Saw in a Publican. You printed it as What Jesus Saw in a Republican. I had the largest crowd of the year!”
