3 July 8, 2018 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time FROM THE PASTOR S DESK Today we celebrate the 14 th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Gospel for today describes Jesus reception in Nazareth. The townsfolk are amazed by His teaching, but His reputation and wisdom astound them. They ask, Where did He get all this? They probably watched Jesus mature. They know Mary and Joseph, His parents. Because of their lack of faith, Jesus could not perform any mighty deeds. He really could have, but St. Mark records that Jesus asks for one thing from people; faith. The Nazarenes don t seem to have it. Jesus responds with the familiar saying, No prophet is without honor except in His native place and among His relatives. The people of Nazareth were not unlike us. Sometimes we judge by appearance and don t take the time to look deeper into a person s character. Our Gospel today reminds us that we may miss the Lord right in front us. With a bit of looking into our lives we can discover how we often resist new opportunities and moments of grace. We ve become so comfortable in what we know and have been doing for long that we miss moments of change that are God calling us to experience His grace. God sees our potential, looks into our hearts, loves us as we are, and invites us to experience more. Summer is definitely here. The temperatures have been climbing and combined with the humidity it has been, as Dad used to say, a scorcher! Thank you Jesus for the air conditioning. (Remember last year at this time? How we had no AC and masses were opportunities to burn off years in purgatory?) With the gift of AC comes higher utility bills. UGH!!! Thanks to your continued generosity and a few outside weddings, we are able to keep cool. With the chapel being used for daily mass with its own heating/cooling system, I hope to see a difference in the monthly bills too. Thank you to all who helped with our 2 nd Mass on the Grass this past Wednesday. As we gave thanks for the independence we have as a free nation, it was good to see so many gather and celebrate Mass together. I think our signs had a good impact too as we had some new faces join us. Once again our sister parish, Immaculate Conception was well represented too and the deacon, who is the Parish Life Coordinator for IC, joined me at the altar. I am grateful to those who helped me set up, (not as fancy as when Deacon Dave is in charge), but a good, simple and fitting set-up. Thanks too to those who provided refreshments for us following mass and allowing a time to fellowship together. I enjoy these chances for us to build bridges and community both here within our own community and with our neighbors down the street. Last weekend s inaugural of the Oratory at St. Luke s went well. Thank you to Parish Council members and parishioners for the special welcoming to our new community. I am proud of the way we have worked together in making the transition for the Oratory a good experience of the wonderful community we have at St. Luke the Evangelist. Finally today, it has now been a year since I took the helm of St. Luke Parish. It has been a great year for me getting to know you and learning your names. I feel I have over 50% of your names down, (It helps when I give you mental nicknames; i.e. Rosebud. ) I have found our family to be hungry for Jesus, and striving to be His disciples. No, we might not be the St. Luke s of the past, but I believe the smaller community provides us with many opportunities for the future. With God s help and abundant grace we will continue to fulfill our mission to be the presence of Jesus in our neighborhood and invite all who are seeking a rewarding life, filled with purpose and meaning to come and join us. Under the special patronage of St. Luke and the Blessed Mother, we will see the rewards of good and faithful servants, doing God s will, and becoming the best version of ourselves as disciples of Jesus. Our future is bright. The best is yet to be. God Bless! Have a good week! Remember those 3 Hail Marys (Fr. Pete).. 3

5 July 8, 2018 WELCOME HOME! We are blessed to have new parishioners join our parish family! Please join us in welcoming them to St. Luke s! Emily Summers and her fiancé Brian Griffin Emily & Brian are engaged to be married at St. Luke this December. WEW ST. FRANCIS CHAPEL Thanks to a most generous donor, the side sacristy has been transformed into a beautiful chapel for daily Mass! The St. Francis Chapel is officially ready! Daily Mass is being celebrated in our new chapel at 8:00am. Please use the chapel entrance (as the other doors to church will remain locked). NOTE: We are in the process of having a railing installed (on schedule for late July early August) that will match the railings at the other church entrances. We hope to have the temporary railing installed soon. Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time NEW MASS SCHEDULE A friendly reminder that our Mass schedule has changed!! Effective, July 1, 2018 Mass times are as follows: 5:00pm (no change) 8:00am (Oratory of SS. Gregory and Augustine ~ Latin Mass) 10:00am (no change) 11:30am (Oratory of SS. Gregory and Augustine ~ Latin Mass) CHRIS BAER LECTURE SERIES July 10, 6:30pm - 7:30pm St. Joseph Room Please join us for a 4 week study on the Virgin Mary. Why pray to Mary? Why is Mary considered Queen? Why is Mary sinless? Why is she bodily assumed and where in scripture, church history, and miracles do find evidence for this? Includes weekly notes/study guides. Please join us for this free program on July 10, 17, 24 & 31. Are YOU a FAN or a DISCIPLE? Do you go to church every Sunday? You can go to church every Sunday and be a FAN of Jesus Christ. Jesus is looking for DISCIPLES. In order to be a disciple ~ it is important for you to get involved at Mass. It is not enough to just come to church...those who just attend and get their card punched are fans. Jesus is not interested in more fans...he is interested in disciples. For us to truly be a disciple WE HAVE TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE OF JESUS THROUGH PRAYER. We need to have an intimacy of prayer every day of our lives (more listening than talking). God wants us to LOVE one another. LOVE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WHO LIVES THEIR LIFE FOR OTHERS; they are generous with their time, their gifts, and their treasure. If you can sing - sing in the choir; if you can read - become a lector. Use the gifts that God has given you. Do you use the gifts for yourself or to build up the body of Christ? What do you do in the parish to build up the body? Jesus wants you to use the gifts He gave you to build up His body. BOLDLY PROCLAIM JESUS. Ask the Holy Spirit to use you every day to bring people to Jesus. You can witness to Jesus without saying a word. You can leave a prayer card for someone; you open their heart to receive Jesus. Jesus wants us to glorify the Father by being a disciple. We have to have an experience of Jesus through prayer; we have to be a person who lives that experience through love; and we have to share Jesus with everyone He calls us to share Him with. Please contact the rectory office if you are interested in enriching your faith life and want to become involved and more engaged at Mass as a Greeter, Lector, Eucharistic Minister, Choir Member, Children s Liturgist, etc... 5
