SAVING LIVES & HEALING HEARTS The quintessential question we hear most often before a new school year begins is of course, how did you spend your summer vacation?

3 SAVING LIVES & HEALING HEARTS The quintessential question we hear most often before a new school year begins is of course, how did you spend your summer vacation? Claire Beyer (OLOM 7th grade student) and her mom Dr. Rachel Beyer experienced an international trip this summer that will surely be hard to forget. Through a mission organization called the Christian Emergency Relief Team (CERT), the Beyer girls traveled to Peru with other medical professionals from the area to provide free medical and dental services for those in the greatest of need. CERT International (based in Tennessee) states that their purpose is to alleviate human suffering with medical/dental services in remote locations and provide relief in emergency or needy situations with the love of Christ. After a mission trip to Nicaragua in August of 2015, Dr. Beyer enjoyed the experience so much that she couldn t wait for another opportunity to arise, this time including her daughter along for an experience of a lifetime. Leaving her husband, two sons, and a thriving dental practice for a week to visit a third world country was a difficult decision, but the memories she and Claire made will be cherished forever. When asked about her experience with this mission, Claire stated, I really enjoyed seeing how a different culture lives. Adventuring outside of their comfortable bubble in Baton Rouge was difficult but providing healing and comfort was the motivation that led Dr. Beyer to participate in another medical mission. For Dr. Beyer, being the hands and feet of Christ as she was helping her brothers and sisters is a practice that she will continue to pursue with the hopes of one day sharing this amazing experience with her entire family. This powerful experience was a way to help meet the most basic human needs of the Peruvian people. While there, she witnessed extreme poverty, the need for stable homes, and the great need for better healthcare. According to Dr. Beyer, Although the Peruvian people struggle with these extreme living conditions, they also have the same desires and motivations as you and me. BATON ROUGE, LA 3

Memorial Gifts At the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause. Our Lady of Mercy has nourished the spiritual life of so many parishioners and those throughout the Diocese who come here. A Memorial Gift to our Traditions for Tomorrow Building Campaign is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a gift of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss ways for you to remember your loved one. Consider adding a planned gift in your last will and testament to remember Our Lady of Mercy.

IT S NOT TOO LATE TO PLEDGE! Father Cleo and the Capital Campaign Committee have challenged everyone to consider making a sacrificial gift for the success of our campaign.

5 IT S NOT TOO LATE TO PLEDGE! Father Cleo and the Capital Campaign Committee have challenged everyone to consider making a sacrificial gift for the success of our campaign. And in response, our gifts have come in all shapes and sizes, with families making gifts from $100 up to $500,000. We have asked each family to consider a pledge of $5,000 or more payable over 3 years, although we encourage all participants to give what you can. As you may remember our Campaign is being conducted on the basis of equal sacrifice, not equal gifts. A gift of $5,000 over three years is just $125 a month, with a ten percent down payment! Please know we are grateful for whatever you are able to do. Below are some gift plans to consider: Total Payment 10% Down Payment 3 Annual Payments 12 Quarterly Payments 36 Monthly Payments Daily Sacrifice $25,000 $2,500 $7,500 $1,875 $625 $20.55 $10,000 $1,000 $3,000 $750 $250 $8.22 $5,000 $500 $1,500 $375 $125 $4.11 $2,500 $250 $750 $ $62.50 $2.05 EVERY GIFT OF EVERY SIZE IS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED! Now is the time to take care of what is ours, to meet the needs of our parishioners at every stage in their life, and to continue to be a place of welcoming for all in Baton Rouge. Thank You For Your Generosity! Thank you to the families who have responded so generously to our campaign! It is only through everybody doing what they are able, we will be successful!

Called to Action PARISH LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL I Bet You Didn t Know The feast day of Saint Anne and her spouse, Saint Joachim is July 26th. She is the patron of grandmothers and holy families.

However in the writings called the protoevangelium of Saint James written in the 2nd century, there are several books included in the writings which tells the same story of Anne and Joachim.

An angel appeared to them and told them that Anne would conceive a baby girl by the intercession of the Lord and that the girl should be named Mary and consecrated to the Church.

Many shrines exist but one of the most well known is the shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre in Quebec, Canada. The primary United Sates Shrine is in Vermont on Lake Champlain.

7 Called to Action PARISH LIFE BEHIND THE VEIL I Bet You Didn t Know The feast day of Saint Anne and her spouse, Saint Joachim is July 26th. She is the patron of grandmothers and holy families. Saint Anne is the grandmother of Jesus and the Mother of the Blessed Mother. There is nothing written about Saint Anne in the approved writings of the Church. However in the writings called the protoevangelium of Saint James written in the 2nd century, there are several books included in the writings which tells the same story of Anne and Joachim. Tradition states that they were advanced in age and unable to conceive a child. An angel appeared to them and told them that Anne would conceive a baby girl by the intercession of the Lord and that the girl should be named Mary and consecrated to the Church. Devotion to Saint Anne has been widespread in the Eastern Church from the early days of the Church and developed in the west around the 16th century. Many shrines exist but one of the most well known is the shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre in Quebec, Canada. The primary United Sates Shrine is in Vermont on Lake Champlain. In our own parish we are fortunate to have a Carrara marble statue of Saint Anne, hand crafted by Italian artisans and placed in our church at its opening in Behold Your Mother Tuesday Nights - August 1st, 8th, and 15th 7:00-9:00 pm Parish Activity Center When upon the cross Jesus gave us the gift of his Mother, he gave us an invitation to love and be loved by the most powerful woman in history. This August, Our Lady of Mercy is hosting Behold, Your Mother a three - part Mariology series provided by the Men of the Immaculata. All ages are welcome and encouraged to come and take advantage of this free opportunity to learn about this woman who has captured the attention of the nations.

The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your Son s command, when He calmed the stormy waters and delivered the disciples from fear and harm. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O Loving Lord, for your Mercy is without end. Spare us from tragedies like those of the past and keep us safe in your loving care. O Virgin Mother, Star of the Sea, we seek your powerful help. Plead for us with Your Son that we might be spared from all harm, whether natural or made by human hand, and walk safely in His footsteps until we reach our heavenly home. Amen Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us! 8 OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH
