Thank you for your generous contributions.

Second Collection
Next week our diocese will be taking up the Peter’s Pence Collection, providing Pope Francis with the funds to carry out charitable works for the benefit of society’s most disadvantaged members. Join our Holy Father as a witness of charity to the suffering.

First Friday
Friday, the 3rd of July, we will have the First Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus immediately after the 7:00 am morning Mass.
First Saturday
Saturday, the 4th of July, we will have the First Saturday rosary at 8:30 am followed by the 9:00 am morning Mass.

Parish Website
Our parish website is being hosted by the larger website parishesonline.com. Unfortunately, this host website will soon be shut down by its owners, meaning that we will not have a parish website until we find a new host. The bulletin will be posted online until the website is terminated. The ministry schedule will be available both in the bulletin and on the bulletin board in the vestibule of the church.

The Lord of Life
At this bountiful time of year, our Sunday readings teem with life and abundance. Both the first reading, from the book of Wisdom, and the Gospel passage from Mark assure us that God did not make death or even will us to be ill. Illness and death entered the world through the presence of evil, the Wisdom author tells us. Mark’s stories of Jesus healing a hemorrhaging woman and resuscitating a dead little girl make it clear that Jesus is from God. As the Son of God he does not will that anyone suffer illness or death. In the face of such power, the second reading, from Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians, provides a stark contrast. Jesus, who could raise the dead to new life, “though he was rich, for your sake he became poor” 2 Corinthians 8:9. Our gift of new life from Christ demands our response in charity.

Vacation Bible School
Wow! What a wonderful week we have had at Galilee by the Sea! We all gathered to worship God through song and dance. The four tribes of children learned fishing skills from the Game Boys, everything from how to cast a net to knot tying and teamwork. They helped poor Zebedee work on his boats after his sons left to follow Jesus. Our weavers sold them Galilean clothing that they helped to make, and in the jeweler’s shop, they found shells and beads in the sand that they used to make fine jewelry for themselves. The children also made sand art bottles and real fish prints. From the Centurion they learned about marching and about following directions. They learned all about worshipping the One True God from the Rabbi and the synagogue’s wise woman. They sampled delicious “local” produce and carried water from the well. They laughed, learned, played, prayed, and sang. This would not have been possible without the help of our fine volunteers who so willingly shared their talents, time, and energy to create a wonderful time of fun and learning. Thank you to our set up crew for creating a beautiful atmosphere for our Vacation Bible School. Thank you to our tribe leaders for your initiative and flexibility in leading the children. Thank you to our shopkeepers for your creativity and dedication. Thank you to our drama team actors for the helpful lessons. Thank you to all our station leaders for making Galilee come alive through your activities. Thank you to our bakers for feeding us delicious meals. Thank you to all of you who shared your creative gifts.
