We are most grateful to carry home with us fond memories
of your beautiful parish and loving community. Most
importantly we carry back with us 75 sponsorship forms,
meaning there are that many more children, youth and
elderly who have a future that has suddenly become
brighter, unbound from the constraints of poverty and hope
that God doesn't disappoint. You new sponsors will be
greatly blessed, and your whole parish will truly be blessed.
You cannot outdo the generosity of Our Lord.
You can still become a sponsor by using the UNBOUND
bulletin insert from last weekend or do so online at
unbound.org.
Thank you on behalf of the newly sponsored and thanks for
the pleasant stay.
Sincerely in Christ from UNBOUND,
Fr. Jerry Hackenmueller and Fr. Robert McAleer

Attack on Our Catholic Church in
Normandy
A Statement from Archbishop Joseph E.
Kurtz of Louisville President of the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Catholic faithful around the world experienced
the shock and sadness of this barbaric attack on
Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in France, as if the
loss was in our very own parish. We pray for
Father Hamel and his parishioners knowing, as
St. Paul stated regarding the Body of Christ, "if
one suffers, all the parts suffer with it." (1 Cor
12:26)
Nota de agradecimiento
de parte de unbound
Queridos Parroquianos de la Iglesia
Católica de St. Matthew,
Estamos muy agradecidos porque nos llevamos a
casa muchos recuerdos de una comunidad tan
cariñosa y una parroquia muy Hermosa. Pero lo
mas importante es que llevamos con nosotros 75
formas de Padrinos, que quiere decir que hay
mas niños, jóvenes y adultos que de repente tiene un futuro mas brillante. Ustedes saben que los
padrinos son bendecidos y junto con ellos todo
esta parroquia también es bendecida. No podemos dudar de la generosidad del Señor.
Usted todavía puede ser un padrino llene el volante de UNBOUND que estaba en el boletín de
la semana pasada o visite nuestra pagina en el
internet unbound.org.
Gracias por su apoyo y su hospitalidad.
Sinceramente en Cristo de parte de UNBOUND,
Fr. Jerry Hackenmueller y Fr. Robert
McAleer
Jesus calls us to be sisters and brothers, to strive
to care for one another, and always to reject the
evil that seeks to divide us. We give thanks to
God for the unforgettable witness of the faithful
this morning at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
Keywords: U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops,

O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, Father
Hamel, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ,
according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving
him the sublime power to offer the Eternal
Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son
Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve
The Holy Mass is the most sacred and joyful act the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We
we, as Catholics, celebrate. Never are we closer beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to
forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy
to our Lord Jesus Christ than we are when we
receive the Eucharist. No act of desecration – no Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the
recompense of his labors. This we ask through
matter how vile – can obscure the merciful
Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“¡Insensato!’ Esta misma noche vas a morir” (Lucas
12:20). ¡Esto no suena misericordioso! En esta parábola
de Jesús, a diferencia de algunas personas ricas de estos
tiempos, no hay mención de mentir, robar o engañar. El
hombre rico se ganaba la vida, no es un asesino. ¿Qué es
lo que Jesús le quiere decir por “insensato”? Primero,
por arrogante. El hombre rico diciendo lo que va a hacer. Dios no está a cargo de la situación sino el hombre
rico. Segundo, por egoísta. No hay mención de Dios, del
prójimo; él hombre rico se habla así mismo de él mismo:
¡mis posesiones, mi productividad, mis planes! Así que
en lugar de desear “abundancia de bienes” para nosotros; Jesús y el Papa Francisco en este Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia nos proponen crecer en aquello que “vale
ante Dios” (12:21), es decir las obras de misericordia
corporales y espirituales. Dar de comer, de beber, vestir
y sanar; visitar a los prisioneros, enterrar a los muertos.
Sanar con la misma gentileza de Jesús la duda, la ignorancia y las culpas de los prójimos, confortar, perdonar,
ser paciente y orar por los vivos y los muertos.
“You fool, this night your life will be demanded of
you” (Luke 12:20). Hardly sounds like mercy! Unlike
some contemporary rich folks, there is no indication of
lying, stealing, or cheating in Jesus’ parable. The rich man
made a living, not a killing. Why does Jesus name him
“fool”? First, because of presumption. Five times in nine
verses, the rich man declares, “I shall.” God’s not in charge
here, I am! Second, selfishness—four times, “my/myself.”
No God, no neighbor; he talks to himself, about himself:
my possessions, my productivity, my plans! So, instead of
chasing “treasure for ourselves,” Jesus and Pope Francis’
Jubilee Year of Mercy bid us grow “rich in what matters to
God” (12:21), namely, the corporal and spiritual works of
mercy. Give food, drink, clothing, and healing; visit the
imprisoned; bury the dead. Heal with Jesus’ own gentleness the doubt, ignorance, and sins of others; comfort,
forgive, be patient; and pray for the living and dead.

WHAT IS RCIA?
RCIA stands for Rite of ChrisƟan IniƟaƟon of Adults.
It is a program to prepare adults interested in the
Catholic Church and in being bapƟzed. It also

not yet made their first communion or received the
sacrament of confirmaƟon.
The program consists of classes once a week starƟng
in early September. ParƟcipants will learn about the
Catholic faith and parƟcipate in various rites several
Ɵmes during the program, either here at St MaƩhew
or at the Cathedral.
If anyone knows of family members or friends who
have expressed an interest in learning more about
the Catholic faith or receive sacraments that they
are lacking, please let them know about the RCIA
program.
