LAGNIAPPE Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 21, 2015

Dear Friends, Happy Father’s Day to our Fathers and Grandfathers! The blessings of close relationships is the best hope I can have for you who serve this role for so many of us. Thank you to all who have served so well; hope for healing and reunion for those who have wanted to do better. Deacon Dan and I are grateful to the many of you who have given us positive feedback on the preaching series about Catholic Evangelization. I have found it challenging and fun to work with Deacon Dan this way. It has also helped me grow in my understanding about Catholic Evangelization. Some-one told me recently that she was one of those who didn’t want to hear about the topic in the past, but the preaching series has changed her mind. Hooray! That’s one……. You may have noticed that the large tree near the semicircular drive next to the Church has been cut down. I had mentioned that this was coming, as the tree had been hit by lightning, and it had to be removed for the porte-cochere. The roadway under the porte-cochere will also be removed, and a new one built. Steel has arrived for the Gymnasium. Work on the Pre School is advancing. The Parish Finance Committee accepted the budget for 2015-16. New to the budget this year will be a note to the diocese for construction. Once we have used all of the cash money collected thus far for the capital construction, we will begin utilizing a loan for the diocese to finish the construction. I would ask that those of you who are finished with your pledged giving or nearly finished, please consider continuing giving to the Campaign effort. You see the results are worthwhile. The later we have the need to use the loan, the less of the loan we will need, which means lower debt. Thank you for considering. Thanks to all who worked so incredibly hard for VBS this year. So much energy, creativity, and love went into these five days. A wonderful ministry which blessed so many young folks. Thank you. Congratulations to the retiring Grand Knight Mr. Floyd Sones who completes his second term of service this month. New officers will be installed this weekend. Please continue to pray for Fr. Phil Spano and

BAPTISMS We welcome the following children to our parish family through the Sacrament of Baptism:

ADORATION “NOT JUST ANOTHER MEETING”

All are invited on Tuesdays to continue their worship and love of God at adoration. It is a visit, not a meeting. A visit of “love to love.” Bring whatever is in your heart and soul and leave it at the feet of the Lord for HE will be at yours. Join us every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm for Eucharistic Adoration. Taking special time with our Lord is a great way to grow closer to Him.

Go to www.stewardshiptoday.org to get your online copy of Stewardship Today, a monthly publication for parishioners to embrace the importance of stewardship in daily living.

VOCATION Life can remind us of life eternal; death can remind us of death eternal. Each day we must choose to live or die physically or spiritually. What we do daily either builds us up or tears us down. Priests and religious are unique proclaimers of eternal life. If you feel God is calling you to be one, call or email Father Matt Dupré at 225.336.8778, mdupre@diobr.org, or visit, www.diobr.org/vocations.
