RANDOM THOUGHTS DIFERENTES PENSAMIENTOS from Father Bill Promesso

About Francis: Life, Spirituality & Mission Set aside an hour on Wednesday, July 18 at 7PM for a special presentation on by Zaid Chabaan. Zaid is a priesthood candidate for the Archdiocese and studies at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. Zaid is currently serving a pastoral year at Divine Child Parish in Dearborn. We are at $75,800 from 331 families, He has developed this presentation and I invited him to that is 88% of our goal of $85,316. share it with us as an element of adult formation. Still needed $9,516 Christmas in the Park I’m very excited by our July community event. The Market Center Park (Eureka & Trenton Rd) is an excellent venue for a pig roast and an evening outdoor concert. I hope that many of you are planning to join us on Saturday, July 28 after 5:00 Mass. But I’m also praying that you’ll invite one or two unchurched family members or friends. This event is one of the “shallow entry points” of which I spoke a few weeks ago. Our work of evangelization might not begin with inviting someone to church on the weekend, but rather with encountering Catholics at less formal and intimidating gatherings. When we invite, then we are on the path to accompany someone on their spiritual journey. When they encounter our St community, they are likely to want more!

PPC The Parish Pastoral Council has two open seats for our 2018-19 meetings. We need one general member for the PPC and a new Downriver Vicariate Pastoral Council representative who also sits on our PPC. The PPC meets 8 times a year on Tuesday nights. The VPC meets 4 times a year under the direction of the vicar. If you’re interested in either of these positions, please contact me by email or phone and we can discuss it.

Religious from our Formation Pastoral Minister Now

In this weekend’s Gospel reading we enter into an registering for experience with Jesus and the townspeople of Nazareth, 2018/2019 including some of Jesus’ own intimate family members. In returning to his native village for the first time, Jesus is Registration forms and schedules can be not met with great warmth but rather with an attitude of found on the parish website skepticism and incredulity. When Jesus enters the synagogue and begins teaching the townspeople respond www.stcyprian.com or in the parish office. with a sense of awe and wonder at his wisdom and authority, and rightfully question where it is coming from, but they are motivated by a spirit of disbelief. The townspeople only see Jesus, as a simple, carpenter’s son and All Soup Kitchen an ordinary man and are unable to make the connection that Our next day at the All Saints the power that Jesus was exuding came from God.

But like Jesus, we are called to remember that our true identities are established in God and that He will use each of us as His instruments of love, mercy and grace. Our witness will be real and authentic if we dedicate ourselves to living in intimate relationship with Him, experience ongoing conversion and grow in holiness. Despite the weaknesses and limitations we may experience in our human flesh, the Spirit of God will continue to build us up, encourage us and inspire the world through us – and the Holy Spirit will use every means possible to accomplish the mighty deeds of God. Let’s pray that our eyes and ears will be open to recognize God’s Spirit working in our everyday lives and that our hearts and minds will be open and receptive to what He wants to reveal through us and to us. Who knows what God will be able to accomplish for His Glory! “Then he said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, and not by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 Keep enjoying these summer days and thank God for His daily, generous providence.
