What’s in a Name?

Do you remember your baptism? Of course not, unless you were baptized as an adult. We all remember

our birthday and rightfully so, for that is the day we celebrate the miracle of our birth. It

is the date in time that we received our name and that name is important. When we were

received into the church at our baptism, it is the first question asked by the priest or dea-

con. In today’s Gospel according to St. Luke, Elizabeth and Zechariah are asked the

same question, and the answer stunned their family, friends, and neighbors. His name

would be John. His name is interpreted as a heartfelt response by someone who has

something to give to one who has a need. And John would fulfill his mission to a hurting

world by announcing the Good News of the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

By our baptism, we are called to do the same. Today, we may not remember our baptism day, but lets nev-

er forget our calling to share the Good News by our every thought, word, and deed. It is the message that

is most needed in our hurting world today, as it was for John, 2,000 years ago.

Happy Baptism Day! Deacon Joe

Also, a big thank you to all of our parishioners who sponsored teens going to Steubenville and helped physically get us there with transportation.

They are our fu-ture and I am happy to say I am looking forward to see-ing what our future teens will do! -Heather Shainline

If you are interested in sponsoring a teen, please call Heather Shainline or email her at [email protected].

Send off Masses: Every year before our summer trips, we have a send off Mass to prepare our teens and chaperone for the journey they are about to experience. We welcome ALL families and friends of our teens to attend as well as all of our pa-rishioners! Steubenville - July 8th at 11:00am Mass

They create humanitarian programs to relieve the suffering of the poor, minister to those in hospitals and prisons, provide education, and conduct spiritual and religious formation in almost 40 countries on five continents. Your generosity in the second collection next week to support the Carmelite Friars’ missionary work will be greatly appreciated.
