2 FROM THE PASTOR HEALTHY EATING! It doesn t take a doctor s visit for our annual physical to remind us that we live in a culture of unhealthy eating. Fast food and junk food are just too convenient and tempting. What used to be a matter of consuming enough calories for survival has become a national epidemic of obesity. It is tempting to eat when happy or sad, in gatherings or alone, to ight boredom, lift moods, or assuage anxiety. A lot of what appears in our diets isn t even useful for nutrition, and some of it s downright harmful. One thing s for sure: Eucharist is the one meal we can t do without. Better than smart food, it s the table where wisdom is served. Once again this week we are reminded of the power of the Eucharist, our spiritual food and nourishment. It is the gift that leads us to eternal life. It is our daily and our heavenly bread. And that is both hope and promise for us. The church uses these several weeks to savor this passage from John about the living bread, because it is at the center of our lives as Christians. Come to the Feast, a meal you can t live without. PRAYER TO PROTECT ALL LIFE Each Friday, until Sept 28, answer the U.S. bishops call to education, fasting, and prayer for protection of all human life usccb.org/pray PRAY May our nation move closer to the day when every human being is respected in law and welcomed in life from natural birth to natural death. FAST Offer sacri ices for respecting all life. LEARN - Key themes of Catholic Social Teaching Join at A STEWARDSHIP CONVERSATION * I will be away on vacation this week, returning Saturday, August 25 th. YOUR STEWARDSHIP TO GOD August 12, st Collection $11, nd Collection $ 2, Second Collection This Week August 19th : Bishop s Services Appeal Next Week August 26th: Utilities Thanks for your generosity! Jesus reveals the hospitality of God. Everyone is invited to the divine banquet: what matters is for each of us to foster our relationship with Jesus. Eating his lesh and drinking his blood is not an invitation to cannibalism, as the Jews feared. Instead, in the Eucharist the bread and wine are given a new and awesomely deep meaning: they become the very person of Jesus. How can I share God s hospitality with others in our community?

5 DEACON DON REFLECTION ON JP II*PARKING Parking at St. Mary Magdalen has been a challenge since the days of horse -and- buggy. Due to limited parking, please use spaces carefully, especially in front of the church. There is room for three rows of parking. Please do not park in the OUTSIDE row, making it impossible for others to park in the inner rows. Dear Fellow Parishioners, After graduating from North Vermilion in 2016, I began seminary formation at St. Joseph s College in Covington. In June I began my summer assignment with Fr. Cedric Sonnier, pastor of Immaculate Conception in Charenton and Sacred Heart of Jesus in Baldwin. I served Mass, did parish work and shadowed Fr. Sonnier, which was fruitful for my own discernment and formation. I also taught Con irmation Prep at Assumption Church in Franklin. My students were teens from local public schools. I really enjoyed watching them grow spiritually over the two weeks of class. I have returned to the seminary to begin my third year of formation at St. Joseph Seminary in Covington (St. Ben s). I humbly ask that you continue to pray for me and know of my prayers for you. Yours in Christ, Jace Gyles, Seminarian Parishioners who can walk a distance are encouraged to park on the streets near the cemetery or around Magdalen Square. This will allow the elderly and ill parishioners to park closer to church. There are 6 handicap parking spaces behind the rectory as well as a lift at the side door for parishioners who need the assistance. Our mass schedule gives ample time for parishioners to exit before the next group of parishioners arrive. If you get blocked in it won't be for very long. Thank you for your understanding and assistance. HANDICAPPED PARKING Handicapped parking is available on the Magdalen square side of the church behind the rectory. Please help parishioners and visitors to ind handicapped parking area and lift. Thanks for not parking in these areas during masses if you do not need handicapped parking.
