ST. JULIE BILLIART THE WEEK IN OUR PARISH SATURDAY June 25 3-4pm Reconciliation - Church 4:30 Mass [Ed Emenaker ] SUNDAY, June 26 8:30 Mass [The Parish Family] 9:30 RCIA-Dayton House 11:00 Mass [Phyllis Kupper] 1:00 Misa en Español 1:00 Secular Franciscan Gathering-Dayton House MONDAY, June 27 11:30 Holy Rosary 12:00 Mass [Richard Nelson] 7:00 St. Vincent de Paul - Office 7:00 Caring Hands Knitting Group - Fenmont TUESDAY, June 28 8:00 Mass [Joseph Naylor] WEDNESDAY, June 29 8:00 Holy Communion Service 7:00 BINGO- Fenmont THURSDAY, June 30 8:00 Mass [Jack Dennett] FIRST FRIDAY, July 1 12:00 Mass at [Helen Petzold] June 26, 2016 PASTOR’S CORNER The tragedy in Orlando earlier this month raised the specter of “home grown” and international terrorism, the state of help for the mentally ill, and the need to truly understand Islam as a religion. Since many of the victims were gay, it also touched upon prejudice against sexual minorities. The official Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that: They [homosexuals] must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. (par. 2358) Essentially the Church teaches that homosexual orientation may be a “given” while homosexual acts are morally wrong. At the time of the tragedy it was also reported that many families found out about their child’s sexual orientation as a result of their death or injury. In 1997 the U.S. Bishops reached out to parents of homosexual children in a letter entitled “Always our Children” www.usccb.org/issuesand-action/human-life-and-dignity/homosexuality/alwaysour-children.cfm The title, itself, gives an idea of the approach the bishops suggest. I find it to be a very compassionate document. SATURDAY July 2 3-4pm Reconciliation - Church 4:30 Mass [Mafalda “Mary” Mitchell] SUNDAY, July 3 8:30 Mass [Altar Rosary Society Members] 11:00 Mass [The Parish Family] 1:00 Misa en Español 2:30 Hispanic Council Meeting VOCATION VIEWS Choose to follow Jesus wherever he goes. To say “yes” without hesitation requires great trust. The reign of God needs servants to trust.

JULIE BILLIART June 26, 2016 STEWARDSHIP TREASURE: July 2015-June 2016 Weekly Collection Review Collection June 19, 2016 Adult Envelopes Received Regular Collection Goal: Regular Collection Received Over/Under Goal: YTD Regular Collection Goal: YTD Regular Collection Received YTD Over/Under Goal: $ $ $ $ $ $ 210 11,800.00 9,504.41 (2,295.59) 623,800.00 552,590.78 (71,209.22) “MAKE -A-CHANGE” FOR JUNE BUKOBA DIOCESE, TANZANIA Called for freedom. No yoke of slavery for us. Even though people are shackled, suppressed, oppressed – and even though I may be, too – we are, called for freedom. Christ, in his Paschal Mystery, his death and rising, has set us free. Baptism makes us new and sets us free. The old and the new law – “love your neighbor as yourself” – set us free. Singing the song for the gathering of the gifts during the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper this past (and every) Holy Thursday – Ubi Caritas – sets us free. • What yoke will I step out of to be free? • Who can I help into freedom in this Mercy Year? • Who will I love … as myself? In the second collection today, we are supporting Pope Francis in his charitable works. The Peter’s Pence Collection is take up world wide to support our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppression, and natural disasters. In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, the collection is an opportunity to join with Pope Francis and be a witness of charity to our suffering brothers and sisters. Please be generous in today’s collection. CURRENT THREATS TO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM During his September 2015 visit to the United States, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of religious freedom, saying in front of the White House that religious “freedom remains one of America’s most precious possessions. And, as my brothers, the United States Bishops, have reminded us, all are called to be vigilant, precisely as good citizens, to preserve and defend that freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it.” Although Amer icans gener ally do not face the kind of violent persecution endured by many people of faith around the world, Pope Francis has recently spoken of a “polite persecution” that many people face, as “when someone is persecuted not for confessing Christ’s name, but for wanting to demonstrate the values of the Son of God”. Religious freedom continues to be threatened in the U.S.: / HHS mandate for sterilization, contraception, and abortioninducing drugs. The mandate of the Department of Health and Human Services forces religious institutions to facilitate or fund a product contrary to their own moral teaching. Further, the federal government tries to define which religious institutions are “religious enough” to merit protection of their religious liberty. / Catholic foster care and adoption services. Boston, San F rancisco, the District of Columbia, and the State of Illinois forced local Catholic Charities out of adoption or foster care services— by revoking their licenses, ending government contracts, or both—because they refused to place children with same-sex couples or unmarried opposite-sex couples who cohabit. / State immigration laws. Several states have passed laws that forbid what they call “harboring” undocumented immigrants—and what the Church deems Christian charity and pastoral care to immigrants. / Discrimination against small church congregations. New York City adopted a policy that barred the Bronx Household of Faith and other churches from renting public schools on weekends for worship services, even though non-religious groups could rent the same schools for other uses. / Discrimination against Catholic humanitarian services. After years of excellent performance by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Migration and Refugee Services (MRS) in administering contract services for victims of human trafficking, the federal government changed its contract specifications to require MRS to provide or refer for contraceptive and abortion services in violation of Catholic teaching. / Christian students on campus. In its over-100year history, the University of California Hastings College of Law has denied student organization status to only one group, the Christian Legal Society, because it required its leaders to be Christian and to abstain from sexual activity outside of marriage. Pope Francis has asked American Catholics to preserve and defend religious freedom, both in the United States and throughout the world. ST.

Holy Hour with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament! Bilingual Holy Hour on Tuesday July 19th and August 16th from 7-8pm In Church CIVILIZE IT 2016: DIGNITY BEYOND THE DEBATE Join the Movement! It’s not about winning the debate. It is about witnessing the love that is at the heart of our faith. We’ve all experienced it. A Facebook post, a family dinner, a water cooler conversation that suddenly turns political with opposing viewpoints. You might get angry. You may go silent. Civilize It is about making room in your heart and speaking peacefully with those with whom you disagree. Imagine what would happen if aggressiveness were transformed into openness and confrontations were turned into thoughtful conversations. Civilize It is a non-partisan movement and a call for all of us to help change the tone, follow our faith, and quiet the quarrels in our day-to-day lives. We invite you to take the Civilize It Pledge and to encourage others to do so as well. Check out our webpage for resources, and Memes to share on your parish social media accounts. We have Civilize It car magnets and yard signs, that are free for parishes to use and distribute. Contact Sean Ater to arrange pick up. For more information and to take the pledge go to: www.civilizeit.us Right to Life of Butler County Invites you to join in the City of Hamilton’s Walking With the Lord of Life Luke 9:51–62 This passage is troubling. Even those who say they will follow Jesus are rebuked. In following Jesus Christ we often encounter obstacles. Those obstacles can be from the outside when others deem our desire not worthy or a waste of time. Sometimes, obstacles come from within when we allow insecurities and priorities to keep us from putting Jesus first. I do not think that Jesus does not want us to “bury the dead”. It is after all a corporal work of mercy. I think he wants of to speak of God’s glory first. He wants us to work for God’s glory first. He wants us to be other-centered. Prayer Take some time this week to r eflect on when it is easiest to put Jesus first and when it is most challenging. What steps can you take to respond to those challenging times? Action Pick a time when it is challenging to be other -centered or Christ-centered and take a step to put Christ or someone else first. It is your morning routine that does not allow for you to talk with your spouse or other family member? What about when you get home is the evening, do you go right to preparing dinner? When you go to Church, do you talk to the same people and sit in the same pew? Maybe you can reach out to greet someone new. Supporting LIFE (at every stage), LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! Join with us in witnessing to God's gift of life. Our theme will be "Adoption the Loving Option" . Gather at the Butler County Fairgrounds by 9:45 a.m., located at the intersection of Fair Ave and Ohio route 4. We should be in tier 4. Just ask an parade official for direction to our location. Rides will be provided back to the fairgrounds. You are truly needed to witness to the precious gift of life before thousands of our fellow citizens.

RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO La tragedia en Orlando este mes levantó la preocupación con el terrorismo doméstico e internacional, el estado de ayuda para los que tienen enfermedades mentales, y la necesidad de un entendimiento verdadero de Islam como religión. Pues muchas víctimas eran homosexuales, también surgió el tema del prejuicio contra las minoridades sexuales. El Catecismo de La Iglesia Católica enseña que: [Homosexules] deben ser acogidos con respeto, compasión y delicadeza. Se evitará, respecto a ellos, todo signo de discriminación injusta. (par. 2358). En resumen la Iglesia enseña que la orientación sexual podría ser “dado” mientras la actividad homosexual es una transgresión moral. En la ocasión de la tragedia se reportó que muchas familias se dieron cuenta de la orientación sexual de sus hijos como resultado de su herida o muerte. In 1997 los Obispos de los EE.UU. se dirigieron a los padres de hijos homosexuales en una carta titulada “Siempre Serán Nuestros Hijos”. http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and -dignity/homosexuality/upload/siempre-seran-nuestroshijos.pdf El título, en si, ofrece una idea del acercamiento que los obispos sugieren. Encuentro este documento muy compasivo. ST.
