PICTORIAL DIRECTORY FOR PARISH 50TH JUBILEE- We are working with Life Touch, a company which produces pictorial directories for parishes around the country. Photos will be taken in the parish hall. There is a list at the back of church to sign up for what days would be good for you. Right now the plan is to do Saturday, July 21. Please sign the sign-up sheets in the hall today. We can t go any later because we need to have time to get the book produced. Our original plan was to just use digital photos but it was decided to use professionals such as Life Touch and so our time is limited. Please fill out the sheet to help Fr. Joe get an idea when to set up the photo shoot. We also need volunteers to be hosts when people come for the photo shoot. Fr. Joe will be having surgery on July 11 so he won t be able to sign people in as in the previous photo shoot. Please contact the rectory office (602-943-5372) if you can volunteer to sign people in for the photo shoot on Friday, or Saturday, July 21. PLEASE REMEMBER FR. JOE IN YOUR PRAYERS- Fr. Joe had revision surgery on his left knee on Wednesday, July 11. Please continue to remember him in your prayers as he continues to recuperate at a rehabilitation center.

OPPORTUNITY FOR PARISHIONERS TO PLACE GREETING IN THE PAR- ISH 50TH JUBILEE COMMEMORATIVE BOOK- Whenever parishes celebrate a special jubilee year in their parish, they produce a booklet which contains photos of events of the church and a history of events which have taken place in the parish. It is also common to have pages in the booklet on which fellow parishes, organizations and local businesses offer their greetings and send a donation for their greeting to be placed. We are also offering that opportunity to our parishioners to remember their deceased relatives or to honor their living relatives. Along with mentioning the name of your relatives you can add a greeting to the cathedral on the occasion of our jubilee. The donation for placing a greeting is $250.00 for a full page, $125.00 for a half page and $50.00 for a quarter page. A page would be a regular 8 ½ by 11 inches. If you wish to place an ad you can place it in the Sunday collection, bring it to the parish office or e-mail it to Fr. Joe- huts1009@gmail.com We ask that you get your greeting or ad into the parish by August 6, 2018 so we can have plenty of time to finish printing the booklet. Thank you!!

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanus; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
SUNDAY OF THE FATHERS OF THE FIRST SIX ECUMENICAL COUNCILS EPISTLE READING: HEBREWS 13:7-18 Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that [d]give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 14:14-22 When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves. But Jesus said to them, They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat! They *said to Him, We have here only five loaves and two fish. 18 And He said, Bring them here to Me. 19 Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds, and they all ate and were satisfied. They picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve full baskets. There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children. Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.
SUNDAY OF THE FATHERS OF THE FIRST SIX ECUMENICAL COUNCILS GOSPEL READING: JOHN 17:1-13 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You; for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me. I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
