EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
PEACE MEAL SENIOR NUTRITION PROGRAM
24 HOUR EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Peace Meal is looking for a new group of volunteers for a route one day a week.
One volunteer is all that is needed, but often two people go so one can drive and one
can go to the door.
This meal is very important to the seniors who receive it. In many cases it is the
only full meal and the only human contact a senior has in a day.
The meals are picked up at the Chester P. Sutton Community Center,
256 West Court Street in Paris.
For further information, please contact Blake Sanders at the Peace Meal central
office in Charleston at 345-1800, or bsanders3@sblhs.org
St. Mary’s Church
Every Tuesday starting at 3pm and ending on Wednesday at 3pm.
Everyone is invited to spend some quiet time with the Lord anytime during
these 24 hours.
Jesus invites us, “I am with you. Come, sit beside Me.
Lean your head upon My shoulder. You don’t have to do or say anything.
Let My love slip inside your heart.
I will give you rest.”
Sr. Joyce Rupp, O.S.M.
OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS, BELLVILLE, ILLINOIS

Presented by: Fr. David Uribe, OMI
Join Fr. David as he celebrates the Feast of
Our Lady of the Snows with the story of

Embracing Forgiveness as a Way of Life
3-5 pm Saturday, August 6, Guild Center
Presented by: Rev. Joseph Nassal, CPPS
Forgiveness is a journey that is not about getting
over the pain but rather moving through the pain to
arrive at a new place of promise, hope, and healing.
How do we arrive at this place of pardon and peace?
Cost is $10 per session. Call 618-394-6270 for more information.

The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy
DON’T BE HARD HEARTED.
We have all heard stories of relatives who fight over an estate or a supposed inheritance.
Luke recounts the Jesus parable of packing away so many possessions in order to “rest,
eat, drink, be merry!” It is Jesus who said to the crowd, and says to us today: “One’s life
does not consist in possessions.” On hearing Christ, the logical philosopher lays outs this
syllogism: (1) Guard against all greed; (2) because life does not consist of possessions;
(3) therefore, give away somethings, some time, some effort, some of self.
 What things can I give away?
 What time and effort can I expend to another?
 How will I reuse, use up, recycle?
Celebrate the Jubilee Year of Mercy with a great new app from “Our Sunday Visitor”! 365 Days to Mercy
is designed to accompany you on your spiritual journey during the Jubilee Year of Mercy. The app
includes daily reflections on mercy, everyday Scripture reflections, Pope Francis’ tweets, the Divine
Mercy Chaplet & Novena, and lots more. Go to your app store & search “365 Days to Mercy” & install it
today! Go to OSV.com/YOM to learn more.

The summer meeting will be

Letters by C.S. Lewis. This is an

of letters, councils his nephew
(Wormwood) on the best way to take
a young man’s soul.

The Shaughnessy family would like to thank all who offered

“Prayer Petition Box”
This box is in the gathering space next to the statue of the Sacred Heart. Place a prayer petition in
the box and each week the box will be placed on the altar during Tuesday and Wednesday
adoration. People attending adoration will be asked to include prayers for our church and the
petitions contained in the box. Following adoration the petitions will be shredded and the box
placed back in the gathering space to collect petitions for the next week. The box is locked for
privacy. Only you and God will know what the petitions are.
In a few months we will be asked
to make a very important decision
for ourselves, our families and our
country. Now is the time to start
praying for the wisdom to make
the right decision.
Our faith teaches us that “conscience is the
voice of God resounding in the human heart,
revealing the truth to us and calling us to do
what is good while shunning what is evil”
(from the U.S. Bishop’s 2007 document
Forming Citizens for Faithful Citizenship.
Thinking ahead,
now, when school
supplies are on
sale, would be a
great time to
buy some to put
in
with
the
Christmas gifts
(crayons,
colored pencils,
markers, etc.).
Compassionate
Clothing Closet
The church that was to send
volunteers to the CCC in
August has decided that
they are not going to be

reading this or that you
know can fill in, please call
Kaye Hayes 822-8651 or
Pat at the parish office and
they can get your name on
