RCIA HELP NEEDED Pope Francis talks about the “art of accompa-niment” a lot. But what exactly does that mean? Have you ever asked how you can do that?

We would love your help with RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults! Shaughn has some really cool ideas of how we welcome and make adults a part of our faith community. but he can’t do it on his own. Contact him at the parish office or by emailing him at shaughn.phillips@sthelenparish.org if you are interested in helping “accompany” folks through RCIA!

THREE-YEAR-OLD PARISHIONER BRINGS THE MASS TO HER MORNING Remember the Lenten Gospel acclamation: Glory to you, O Word of God, Lord Jesus Christ? A parish couple shared with us this past week that their 3-year-old wakes up in the morning and sings her own variation on the acclamation:

Good morning to you,

O Mr. God,

O Jesus Christ

How cool it is when our children’s faith prac-tices become part of their chain of memory!

Follow us!

WE WELCOME YOU Have you been away from the Church for a while? Perhaps life became too busy, or you had a bad experience. Whatever the reason, we are glad you are reconnecting and we welcome you! You can be sure there are others who have walked this path and would be happy to listen to your story or help get an-swers to any questions you might have. Just call Shaugh at (937)254-6233 or email Shaughn.phillips@sthelenparish.org and let him know you are interested.

CONGRATULATIONS (AGAIN) MR. AND MRS. BROWN!

On Wednesday June 27th Aaron and Ja-mie Brown, who both entered into the Catholic faith family this past Easter, convalidated their marriage in the Catholic Church! As Fr. Satish mentioned to them, the Church recognizes the civil marriage that al-ready exists before they entered into the Church. What the convalidation does is the civil marriage is “sacramentalized.” The marriage is elevated from a contract to a covenant. The sac-ramental marriage reflects the love God has for each of us. Congratulations Aaron and Jamie with your convalidation! And thank you for your joyful witness of God’s love shared through your marriage and family to our faith communi-ty!
