Sunday, July 3 rd Prayer & Faith Study Group 5:30 pm with Father Matt Glaros. Everyone is welcome to attend. Fr. Dennis Christz, C.PP.S., will be with us this weekend to ask our support for the work of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Each year we are given the opportunity to hear about the missionary work of the Church and to support that work through our financial gifts and our prayers. The Missionaries of the Precious Blood are based in Dayton, Ohio; but they also serve the Church in Guatemala, Chile, Peru and Colombia. We will have a second collection at our July 2 nd & 3 rd Masses. Please welcome Fr. Dennis with warm hospitality and respond to his message with generosity. Checks should be written to St. John Nepomucene Parish. The Missionaries of the Precious Blood believe that the redeeming power of the Blood of Christ can save the world. The Missionaries preach of Christ s allinclusive love, especially for those whom society may view as too poor or lowly to be of any value. Their ministry, then, often calls them to the fringes of society, such as in their missions in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Guatemala, where they serve parishes in sprawling urban centers, in villages high in the mountains and among country people who may otherwise seldom see a priest. They have worked to establish schools, clinics and many parish ministries. They are ministers of the Word who have seen the Word work great miracles among the lives of the people to whom they minister and in themselves. Monday, July 4 th Blessing for Independence Day There is a saying, "To those whom much is given, much is expected." That saying is from Uncommon Wisdom of John F. Kennedy: A Portrait in His Own Words. That saying should sum up our thoughts as we celebrate the founding of our country. As we look at our history, we may easily see that much has been given to this country, and many have sacrificed to make sure we have kept those gifts. However, our faith informs us that a gift reaches its ultimate good only when it is given away freely. We have many gifts, and our country has a long tradition of giving many gifts to other nations. Moreover, sometimes it seems as if those gifts are not appreciated. Nevertheless, we continue to give. Let us pray for this great country of the United States of America: God our Father, from whom all good gifts come, we are thankful for rest and food. Grant that, in all we do or say, we keep your goodness always in our thankful hearts. We entreat you to bless all those who work to keep us safe and ask your blessings on all those who work to share our blessings with others around the world. We ask all this in the name of our brother and Savior, Jesus. Amen.

The harvest is abundant, Jesus says. But those who are willing to invite others to a deeper relationship with the Lord are few. Good stewards who are willing to witness their Catholic faith to others know they are like lambs among wolves. They are encouraged to be gentle, patient and loving, knowing they may face rejection and even fierce opposition. The Year of Mercy invites us to be better stewards of our faith, to give positive, courageous, joyful witness to others who have turned away from their relationship with Jesus. Is there someone we should be reaching out to this week? Congratulations to the Winners of our June $1000 Raffle!!!! $1000 Winner K.
