August 26, 2018 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 THIS WEEK IN OUR PARISH Tuesday, August 28 9:45am 50/50 Raffle drawing Thursday, August 30 6:30pm Family Rosary TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This is the height of vacation season, but as anyone who has ever been to Rome in the summer knows, no time to visit there! The city is sweltering, and in a pre-airconditioned world long ago, Romans figured out that they needed a break in the surrounding hills. Even the pope clears out. His destination is usually Castelgandolfo, a lovely little hill town southeast of Rome, overlooking a tranquil lake. It has been a papal possession since about 1600, and in 1929, when most of the papal states were finally lost, the papal dwelling was given extraterritorial rights, meaning that it is an extension of Vatican City and not under Italian rule. The Vatican observatory maintained telescopes here for decades, far from the glare of the city lights of Rome, but although the observatory offices remain here year round, the telescopes are in Arizona. Pope Francis spends less time here than his predecessors, though he still slows down the pace of his work in Rome. Vacations can help us visit friends and relatives, and revive those human contacts that the pace of our lives keeps us from cultivating. The pope needs a break, and so do you. Vacation comes from a word meaning to empty oneself. There s still time to clear the calendar for at least one golden summer day even if you don t have a personal castle in the hills! Weekly 50/50 Raffle The Number Drawn on August 14th Was # 508 The Winner Would Have Won $2455.00 (This amount will be added to next week) Drawings will be held every Tuesday at 9:45am in the Gathering Room All registered members of St. Joseph Parish are eligible for the 50/50 raffle.
