Becoming our Best Selves One Step at a Time

This morning I started a new tube of toothpaste. As I

pulled it out of the box, my mind drifted back seventy

years or so, to a time when that box always magically

turned into a bus. I loved driving that bus on the green

“road” that circled the top of our kitchen table. Some-

times I drove the city streets, taking people shopping or

to work. Other times I drove Highway 41, driving people

to visit relatives or go on vacation.

Eventually, I tired of that and drove the bus to Brooklyn,

where I temporarily gave up my driving job so I could

lead the Dodgers to a World Series title. I was their top

hitter, of course. I played entire seasons by rolling two

dice. The larger number was my at bats in a game, and

the smaller number was my hits. I hit over .400 most

seasons. I was also a Cy Young Award pitcher. I played

twenty-year-long careers by rolling dice. My wins for a

season were figured by rolling five dice and adding

them up. My losses came from rolling two dice and add-

ing them up. (Hey! It was my game -- I made the rules!)

You know what? I had as much fun thinking back to

those days as I had living them. It made the rest of the

day brighter and made me behave myself better. What

a beautifully simple way to become a new and im-

proved version of ourselves.

Roger LeBouton, Lay Minister

CEMETERY MASS SCHEDULE—2020

The Oshkosh Catholic Parishes would like to continue

the tradition of celebrating a Memorial Mass at each of

witness to our Catholic faith in a life beyond death with

Christ. Bring lawn chairs and plan to visit the graves of

loved ones.

2nd Mass ~ Wednesday, August 5, 6:00 pm

Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Fr. Louis Golamari

In the event of rain, Mass will be held at

Sacred Heart Church.

3rd Mass ~ Wednesday, August 19, 6:00 pm

Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery, Fr. Tom Long

In the event of rain, Mass will be held at

St. Raphael Church.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call

Randy Wertz, Cemetery Administrator at 216-3268.

MARIAN PRAYER Tuesday night Rosary and Holy Hour is starting back up

on July 28th. Come and pray the rosary with us or

come and adore Christ in prayer. Our world is in need

of our prayers for peace.

Time: 6:30 to 7:30 pm

Where: Sacred Heart Church

Enter through the 6th Street (tower) door

UPDATE!

This year has really seen many changes...now

another one for us! The St. Jude Craft & Bake

Sale, October 3, 2020, will be cancelled for this

year. It is with much sadness to have to do this,

but it is the best thing to do for now. We are so

sorry. Let’s look more forward to next year.

Thank you.

ST. JUDE THE APOSTLE PARISH PRAYER NETWORK

We believe that prayer is very

powerful. We believe that when

we ask in the name of Jesus

Christ, the Father always an-

swers. The answer may not be

the one we think we want, but

through God’s infinite wisdom

the answer is provided in ways

that respect the gift of freewill

that God bestowed on humankind from the beginning.

We believe in accordance with the teaching of our

Savior, Jesus Christ, that the prayers and actions of the

Christian Community are stronger than those of an indi-

vidual. With this in mind, we at St. Jude have joined

together to form a prayer network.

Anyone can call the group leaders or other prayer net-

work members with a prayer request. The prayer request

is phoned to other members using a chain whereby no

one member need call more than two people.

Prayer requests can be for many reasons including:

health issues, employment concerns, relief from family

and social stresses, bereavement concerns and thanks

for God’s blessings. The options for prayer are bound-

less.

If you would like to join the prayer network or if you

have a prayer request call Paulette or Jim at 920-688-

3237 or the parish office, 235-7412.

COMMUNION SERVICE ON SUNDAYS FROM NOON TO 12:15 PM

We know that while many are able to attend Mass

again there are some that do not feel comfortable

yet. If you are unable to attend Mass due to health

related concerns we welcome you to come to the

Communion Service at Sacred Heart.

Living the Gospel—Matching Gift Challenge: An Opportunity to show Love of God and Neighbor at St. Jude

MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGE: You donate $1, St. Jude matches that $1 so $2 is donated; you donate

$100, St. Jude donates another $100 to match yours—I think you get the idea! Whatever is donated will

be doubled – UP TO A TOTAL MATCH OF $15,000! The monies raised will be equally split among 3 organi-

zations: Father Carr’s Food Pantry, the Warming Shelter, and the Christine Ann Center. We could viably do-

nate $10,000 to each organization; just think how many hungry we will feed, naked we will clothe. Dona-

tions can be sent to, or dropped off at, the Parish Office with the Memo: Living the Gospel.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for

Me.“ ~Matthew 25:40 So far we have raised: $12,990!

Sacred Heart Church is open

Monday & Friday from 8 am

until 2:30 pm and Tuesday

thru Thursday from 8 am to

4 pm for personal and private prayer.

Please allow for safe social distancing as

recommended by State Officials.

Reminders for Weekend Mass

As we continue to gather together in community it is

extremely important to keep not only your own safety,

but also the safety of others mind.

• Please enter either church through the handi-

capped accessible entrances or the main double

doors.

• Upon arrival to the church your temperature will be

checked to ensure you do not have a temperature

of 100.4 degrees or higher.

• Use hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving the

building. Keep those hands clean!

• Worship Aids are new at every mass. The Diocese

of Green Bay approved our use of them as long as

they are one time use.

• We are continuing to use the collection baskets

with long handles. There are some parishes that do

not have this option and instead are using boxes at

the entrance. It is preferred to have the offertory

collection during the Mass instead of after.

HEALING PRAYER Loving God, amid all the troubling news of the

world, thank you for the good news of the Gospel.

Amid the fear of foreigners, thank you for helping

us welcome strangers. In the hectic race for

wealth, thank you for opening us to the joys of

sharing and of serving others. Amid the pain of sin

and brokenness, thank you for helping us to be

compassionate healers. When we are tempted to

think violence is the only way to reach our goals,

we thank you for guiding us into ways of peace

and reconciliation.

~Amen
