The fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Saturday and Sunday July 14-15, 2018 www.stjudecatholic.org July 14-15, 2018 Dear Friends: Thank you for the warm welcome that you extended to Fr. Ryan last weekend. Personally, I am very happy to share ministry with him and am looking forward to our time together. I recently met again with our new bishop, Bishop Michael Duca, to discuss plans for his upcoming installation, to take place on Friday August 24 at 2:00pm. Both Fr. Ryan and I, along with several others, are involved in various aspects of this. Honestly, we will be fairly busy with the planning that is involved but still want to be available to you. Until the end of August, it s really going to be crunch time around here, as they say. Please keep us in your prayers as we move forward. I again invite your consideration of our Video Production Ministry, mentioned on the front cover of this bulletin. Thanks again to Dave Fox and all of our volunteers who have been helping thus far with the weekly production of Sunday Mass. We are, however, in need of more volunteers for this ministry. Please consider if you or someone you know would enjoy helping out! I hope you have a great week! Sincerely yours, Fr. Trey Nelson Pastor

The RCIA process helps them to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church. If you know someone who may be interested in learning about our faith or possibly converting, invite them to inquire. There is no obligation.
