Amazing. The Taste of Lebanon was amazing! Everyone who attended had
nothing but good things to say about the excellent organization, delicious
food and warm, friendly attitude. Everyone worked so hard and each of you
deserves a big thanks, but there are a few people who must be acknowledged:
Rick Blank, Betty Karrat, Tom Ladd, Luke Lewis, Kameli McIntyre, Glory
Rasi, Lou Raya, Bernie Sunderlin, and all the committee chairpersons who
did an extraordinary amount of work. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As
your pastor, I am so grateful that God brought us together. God bless each
and every one of you with abundant blessings.

Thank you. Mr. John LoVasco, one of the men who gave a retreat to the
Holy Name Society a few months ago, generously contributed $570 to the
parish for the purchase of 200 copies of Rediscovering Catholicism by Matthew
Kelly. We are most grateful to John for his generous contribution. We will
be distributing this book in the Fall; perhaps it can be the basis of some
discussion groups.
Absence. On Sunday afternoon, I will be leaving for a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land and Rome. I will be returning on 8 August. You may be interested to
know that I will be leading a group of twenty seminarians (young men who
are studying to be priests). Be sure that my first prayer at the Tomb of Jesus
will be for my family and you, my adopted family. I leave all of you in the very
competent hands of Father Miled, Deacon Paul, and Subdeacon Peter—and,
of course, Jackie Sweeney.
Shrine Pilgrimage. Our annual pilgrimage to the National Shrine of Our
Lady of Lebanon in North Jackson, Ohio is 14-16 August, 2013. The cost is
$175 and is first come, first serve. For more information, call Jackie Sweeney,
Parish Secretary at 732-6019.
Shrine of the North American Martyrs. The Annual Pilgrimage to the
Shrine of the North American Martyrs at Auriesville will be on Sunday, 25
August. Both the parishes of Saint Louis Gonzaga of Utica and Saint Ann of
Watervliet will participate. The Maronite Divine Liturgy will be celebrated
at 4pm. There will also be a picnic on the grounds in the afternoon. Rocco
Hobaica will be the coordinator for the pilgrimage and picnic.
This is an important opportunity to take time away from our busy
schedules and travel to the holy grounds of the shrine in Auriesville for
prayer and celebration of the Divine Liturgy. The shrine commemorates
the birthplace of the recently canonized Saint Kateri Tekakwitha and the
martyrdom of Saints Rene Goupil, Isaac Jogues, and John deLalande, three of
the North American Martyrs.
