Summer Mission Appeal ~ July 14th
On the weekend of July 13/14th, please welcome our visiting priest Rev. Sylvester Kuubetersuur of Damongo Diocese. The Diocese of Damongo is located in the north-western part of Ghana, a rural but growing diocese. Created in 1995, the Diocese covers an area of about 18,000 square miles (29,000 sq. km) with a population of about 500,000 comprising 22 ethnic groups. The population is predominantly Traditional African Religion believers, 88%. The rest are shared among Catholics 5%, other Christians 3% and Muslims 4%. The Diocese has 41 diocesan priests, 4 missionary priests, 12 parishes and a total of 115 outstations. The Diocese is located among a predominantly peasant farming population, and does not have enough material and financial resources to sustain her many developing programs of evangelization, sustenance of priests and religious, training of seminarians, and to sustain primary health care
projects for the villages. To help support these missionary efforts and evangelization works of the Diocese of Damongo, please let us warmly welcome one of her priests, Fr. Sylvester and let us be as generous as possible to his Mission Diocese with the special collection that will be taken up that weekend. Envelopes for this collection will be available at the church entrances.
A SUMMER BLESSING
Walking along beside me, Jesus,
as I begin the months of summer. As I work, play, enjoy family time and friendships,
may I hear your voice within me, guiding me toward all that is right and good.
Give me faith in your presence, knowing that you walk beside me in everything I do. Gracious and Loving Jesus, thank you for the gift of
summer. May the warmth of its sun and the beauty of its light
remind me daily of Your love for me. Amen

St.Benedict ~July 11th St. Benedict was born in central Italy of good family, was educated at Rome, at 14 years of age joined a Christian group outside the city, and afterwards lived as a hermit in a mountain cave. During this period he made a close study of the Scriptures, and for the rest of his life, in complete self-dedication, gave all that God asked. "The finger of God had only to point, and he followed whatever the cost." The cave was a hidden retreat upon a barren mountainside, its whereabouts known only to a single friend who brought him food in secret, lowering it by rope over the mountain edge. After three years he was chosen by the monks of a neighboring monastery to be their abbot, but so strict
was his discipline and so stern his rebukes of their laxity that they sought to remove him, even attempting to poison him, and he was glad to escape to his mountain refuge. But now he could not be alone, for disciples flocked to him. They came from every rank of life, and his cave was no longer convenient in view of the demands made upon him. He was subjected also to the jealous persecution of a local priest. In 527, therefore, he travelled to Monte Cassino, 85 miles southeast of Rome, on the summit of which stood an altar to Apollo; there he tore down the pagan shrine and established the greatest and most famous of all monasteries, which became the home of the Benedictine Order. When he died there were 14 Benedictine communities, and by the 14th century there were over 30,000. At Monte Cassino he established his famous Rule which changed and renewed the monastic life of Europe. He provided against vagabondage, immorality, and other evils then prevalent in religious houses. A monk was to be a soldier of God, "a member of a spiritual garrison holding duty for Christ in a hostile world"; and to be always on duty. It was a great and happy brotherhood with a strong family unity, so that wherever its members went they felt a common bond, and drew their strength from their home at Cassino, built upon the rock. Saint of: fever, gallstones, inflammatory diseases, kidney disease, poisoning, witchcraft, temptations, agricultural workers, farmers, schoolchildren, Europe
