Diaconate Ordination
This is the season during which parents typically begin to think about registering their child/ren for school in the fall. Please remember that if your child/ren attend(s) a Catholic school which assesses a surcharge for non-parishioners, and you are an active, registered member of Mary, Mother of Jesus Parish, we will pay that assessment for you. This is one way to assist everyone in being able to register in the parish of their spiritual choice rather than financial need. Please feel free to contact me.
Saturday, July 9 - 10:00AM St. Francis Xavier Cathedral Derek Decote, Daniel Hart, and Gus Voltz will ordained as deacons for our diocese. Please plan to attend in support of our future priests.

The rationale for this change from Wednesday evenings is to avoid the conflicts that periodically presented themselves on Wednesday evenings. It is also an opportunity for this age group to meet exclusively with teachers Matt and Katie in a more relaxed, multi-educational experience where issues of current events and religion can be addressed and discussed. If you have any serious concerns, please call or email me or Matt as soon as possible. 4

A meeting was held on Wednesday, June 8 with parents of religious education students in grades 7-10 at Mary, Mother of Jesus Church. This meeting was intended to discuss how and if the program should be modified to better meet the needs of our students. It was unanimously agreed by Fr. Paul, our youth ministers, and the parents present that beginning this fall, we will meet on Sunday evening in the Youth Center following the 5:30PM Mass. While it is our intention that the students attend the 5:30PM Mass, it is not a requirement should they choose to attend Mass at an alternate time. These weekly gatherings will be a combination of religious education and youth ministry, ending at 8:00PM.

Stewardship Note Today’s Gospel reveals to us the beginning of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. We will journey with Jesus for many Sundays to come, and along the way he will teach us about the demands of discipleship. His instructions may seem harsh and unreasonable to our ears. His response to legitimate requests to postpone the journey reminds us that there are always justifiable excuses to defer the journey or put off the responsibilities of discipleship. Other important matters compete for our attention. Some of us must make heart-wrenching choices, but there is urgency about Jesus’ mission to bring forth God’s kingdom. His demand is that we proclaim the Kingdom of God now. Is this our first priority, or do we have other priorities?
