Community News For JUNE 26
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Friends,
I think I read somewhere (I really did read it, but in case my memory is playing ticks on me in this heat) the pent-up urge to travel this summer is being called “revenge travel.” This phenomenon has had repercussions on our Bible study classes. It seems anyone who can has gotten out of town. As a result, we have a much smaller group attending Bible study! We have decided not to have classes during July or August so you can enjoy your “revenge travel” while the rest of us cope with the heat; at least we have air conditioning!
If you are interested in seeing a few carefully chosen pictures of the river cruise/pilgrimage a few of us from the Bible study group took to celebrate my 40th ordination anniversary (which was postponed for two years because of Covid), you can see them on the digital notice board in the entrance hallway. In May, Germany, Holland and France were experiencing the low 40’s F at night and the low/mid 70’s F during the day. A little bit of paradise in comparison to what we now have in Houston and most of the US.
Looking forward to cooler temps and planning for the upcoming CCE religious education classes beginning in September. Registration for CCE opens this weekend (June 25/26) though July 17. Make an appointment with me and I will take you through the program requirements and answer any questions you may have.
There is a second collection this weekend to support the work of the Roman Curia and fund the charitable activity of Pope Francis; it is known as “Peter’s Pence.”
I mention an upcoming second collection in my weekly missive because we no longer have donation envelopes. We ceased distributing them during Covid because of health/hygiene reasons. Those of you (the majority in fact) who donate through E-Giving, are already aware of all second collections which are posted on the E-Giving webpage.
Before I exhaust you with too many details, I will cease and desist. Stay cool, drink lots of liquids (H2O) and stay out of the mid-day sun.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the weekend,
Fr. Niall
