The theme of this retreat is A Reflection on Christian Life with Fr. Richard Parks. Registrations are due on July 1st. The fee is $160 per person/ meals included. The retreat is open to all who would like to have an experience of silence and growth. If interested, please call Jo Dito at MOVIE NIGHT The Next Movie Night will be on August 28 featuring the movie: Pope John Paul II, a true story. This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla's journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people and changed the face of the Church and the world; how he defended the dignity of mankind. Jon Voight's powerful, Emmy-nominated performance as John Paul II was widely praised, as was Cary Elwes as the young Karol. Shot on location in Rome and Poland in close connection with the Vatican, this is the definitive epic film on the life of Pope John Paul II. AAA 2008 Thank you to all who have contributed or pledged to the 2008 Archbishop s Annual Appeal thus far. We are proud to announce that we have met our assessed goal.

The goal of this raffle was to be able to raise enough funds to send 8 girls to the National Irish Competition in Nashville, TN. Thanks to all of you, the team was able to not only go to Nashville but were able to compete in 4 different competitions. Congratulations to the dancers - job well done. Congratulations are also in order to our parishioner, MaryAnn White who won the top prize of $500 in the raffle. THE LOVE OF CHRIST Some of the most comforting words in scripture come to us today in these readings. The passage from Romans is particularly comforting when we are worried about our spiritual life and fretting about it. What will separate us from the love of Christ? (Romans 8:35) Of course, nothing can! Christ s love, manifested in his life, death, and resurrection, was wholly for God and us, and he will not permit anything, great or small, to separate us from him. Our longing, our hunger for him is sustained by the Eucharist, and even in the darkest of times, when God seems absent and it is difficult to pray, we know by faith that God is with us. God s fidelity to us is absolute, especially when we are in darkness and confusion. Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
