Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In the first reading, Abraham implores

God’s mercy in saving innocent

inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The second reading reminds us that

through baptism, we were given new

life in Christ and the promise of

salvation. The Gospel recounts the

disciples asking Jesus to teach them

to pray. He does so with the words

of the Our Father. Jesus taught

throughout his life and ministry that

God the Father watches over us and

provides for what we most need. We

must try to trust and rely upon God a

little more each day and ask him for

the deepest desires of our heart. For

whoever seeks, finds; and whoever

knocks has the door opened. May

God Bless you all as you are lifted up

in my prayers each day.

Fr. Steve

Ethics and Integrity in Ministry

Who needs to take the EIM course? The Diocese requires: Work or service in ministry with minors or vulnerable adults pertains to any ministry, program or organization that serves youth or vulnerable adults in any manner, or which functions at a time and place where minors or vulnerable adults are typically present. This includes, but is not limited to: religious education, youth ministry, Catholic schools, homeschooling organizations that use church property or identify as a parish ministry, homebound ministry, hospital ministry, parish nursery and mother’s day out or pre-school programs, liturgical ministries (i.e. hospitality, ushers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, lectors, choir, music ministry, etc.), societies of St Vincent de Paul, parish or school sponsored scout groups and other activities or programs for youth. EIM compliance is required for leaders and members of parish and diocesan organizations that may serve youth, even though their primary function is not necessarily to serve youth (i.e. ladies or men’s clubs, Knights of Columbus, Knights of Peter Claver, vocations ministries, etc.). For members of such organizations, the EIM compliance requirement may be waived if participation is limited to times and places when minors are not typically present. EIM compliance is required for all persons in any parish or school leadership position (i.e. ministry and organization leaders and Pastoral, Finance, or Stewardship Council members, school advisory board members, etc.).

Reaching Out:

Three Movements of the Spiritual Life

Cedarbrake Retreat Center invites you to join a retreat on Aug. 12-14, 2016, based on how

Henri Nouwen, author of Reaching Out, views our spiritual ascent as evolving in

three movements: loneliness to solitude, hostility to hospitality and illusion to prayer. The more we are able to understand our own

struggles in these areas the more fully we will be able to embrace a more prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others’ needs. Brian Egan and Beverly Collin will lead this retreat. Cost is $210 for private room, $170

for shared room and $95 for commuter rate; all meals included. To register or for

additional information, visit http://www.cedarbrake.org/#section-62
