June 5, 2016 - Our Lady of Victory

First Holy Communion
We wish to welcome to the table of the Lord the following children who celebrated
First Eucharist during the month of May. It is our prayer that these children and their
families continue to grow in their understanding of Jesus' presence in the Eucharist and give
thanks to God for the many blessings that come from Him.

Welcome OLV’s New Youth
Ministry Coordinator
Please extend a warm welcome
to OLV’s new Coordinator of Youth
Ministr y, Sean Tehoke. Sean
comes to us from Christ the King
Catholic Church in Des Moines,
Iowa, where he was Director of Youth
Ministry. Sean holds a bachelor’s
degree in Religious Studies from the
University of Iowa and has worked in youth ministry for more than ten years.
As he states, “Youth Ministry is a vocation and I am called to it.”
Sean believes in meeting the youth “where they are” both in their
faith journey and in their daily life. He encourages them to be active in their
faith through church ministries, retreats, social concerns, catechesis and a daily
prayer life. He has coordinated numerous mission trips, retreats, fundraisers,
auctions and youth conferences throughout the years and also enjoys working
with confirmation candidates.
Sean, his wife Rachel and four young daughters recently relocated to
Michigan to be closer to family and friends and are ecstatic to be joining the
OLV community. Be sure to stay tuned for all the exciting OLV Youth Group
News!

Eucharistic Minister Training
Remember that we will be training new
Eucharistic Ministers on Sunday, June 12, after
the 11:30 a.m. Mass. We are especially looking
for people who usually come to Sunday’s 11:30
a.m. Mass. This is the Mass that we often do not
have enough people to serve in this very important ministry.
However, ALL are welcome to come for the training. If you have
ever even considered being a Eucharistic Minister or felt like you
were being called to share in this ministry, please come to the
training session. We will make sure you feel comfortable in your
new ministry. If you have received the Sacrament of Confirmation
and you have experienced the power of the Eucharist in your own
life, please come and join us.
NORTHVILLE, MICHIGAN
In singing “Lord of All Hopefulness,” we
are asking God to be with us throughout our
day, morning, noon, evening and bedtime; and
to watch over us and guide us as our day
progresses. Joyce Anstruther wrote the text
for this hymn as a request for a hymnal Songs
of Praise in 1931 and was the first person to
address God as “you” in hymns. It is written that this
hymn “has a warm human touch and a spiritual tone.” Anstruther was
the pen name for Joyce Torrens-Graham, an English poetess, essayist,
and author who is known for her popular book, “Mrs. Miniver” which
was made into a movie in 1940. The hymn was first published to the
tune SLANE, an Irish folk tune that first appeared in
1909, but became a hymn tune in 1927 when it was set to
“Be Thou My Vision.” Each day should begin with a
simple prayer thanking God for the day and asking him to
be with us throughout the day.

Farewell Kindergarten Students!
Stephen Ministry
What Exactly Is This Stephen Ministry?
We have often been taught to be strong,
self-sufficient, independent people. We tend
to think that if we ask for help, it is a sign of
weakness. So, we try to keep our struggles
hidden, stuffed deep inside. However, that is not God's plan.
God wants us to care for others....and allow others to care for us
in our time of need.
Stephen Ministry is a lay caring ministry active within our
parish. Stephen Ministers are not counselors or therapists; rather,
they are caring Christian friends who can offer a listening ear to
help others through the tough times in life.
Who will know about my problem if I talk to a Stephen
Minister? Many people ask this question. Confidentiality is the
cornerstone of Stephen Ministry. No one will find out what you
discuss with your Stephen Minister. If you have a burden you
need to share, perhaps a Stephen Minister can help. If you have
would like to hear more, please call (248) 349-2621, Ext. 482 or
check out the video under the Stephen Ministry tab on the OLV
Parish website (www.olvnorthville.org).

OLV St. Vincent

Christian Service
Conference #437
In today’s Gospel, we see how Jesus was
moved with pity and said to the widow, “Do not
cry,” and the people knew that “God had visited
his people.”
When you hear the cries of those in need
and reach out to help them, deep in their hearts those
who received our help know that “God has visited
them.”
Since October 2015, as a result of your
generous gifts, the OLV Society of St. Vincent de
Paul Conference was able to bring the love of
God to approximately 60 family members by
providing short term financial assistance for
utility bills, housing (rent/mortgage/taxes),
medical bills, clothing and transportation; as
well as information on other area assistance
programs. Thank You!

Last weekend, we saw our final group of
children come to the table of the Lord by
receiving their First Eucharist. We have many
p e o p l e t o t h a n k n o t o n l y f o r t h e Fi r s t
Communion Masses but also for their faith
modeling and teaching which brought our
children to this day. We wish to send our
appreciation first to Fr. Denis for his leadership and for setting a
tone at our celebrations with his wonderful story telling during the
homily and the singing of the Eucharistic prayer. We must also note
our Music Director, Kathy Sanderson and the cantors who make
every celebration beautiful as they lead us in song, Deacon Ken and
Kathryn Ling who were also present and assisted in the liturgy.
Thanks to our youth who lectured, the young people who served, our
Eucharistic Ministers, the catechist and teachers who worked with our
young people all year to bring them and their families to their special
day, and the parishioners of Our Lady of Victory Parish who have
prayed this past year that our children would come to recognize the
great gift they have been given in Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist.
May God bless all of our children and may their parents continue to
lead them to faith as they come to join us at the Table of the Lord
time and time again.
Registration for the ASFF Program and Christ
the Good Shepherd Preschool Program
Registration for next fall’s program will begin in June!
Families involved in last year’s program will receive an email with
registration materials for next fall. Completed forms may be emailed

the Faith Formation Office at (248) 773-5024). If you have not been in
our program before and would like to register please call us at (248)
349-2559 or download a form from the parish website. Look for Forms
on the home page banner. The program sessions are on Mondays
(either 4:45-6:00 p.m. or 6:30-7:45 p.m.) or Tuesdays (at 4:45-6:00

session on Monday at 4:45-6:00 p.m. for four and five year olds
interested in the Christ the Good Shepherd Preschool program. We
encourage families to register early so that we can reserve your place!
Scripture Reflection for the Family
This weekend’s gospel highlights the compassion and
concern we as Christians should have for each other. Jesus’ response
to the widow who has lost her only son demonstrates his ability to feel
the sorrow of others and to understand the loss this woman felt in a
country that would leave her with no means of support.
We as his followers are asked to do this as well. Family life
provides fertile ground in which to teach concern and compassion for
others. It begins with the care and concern family members display
towards each other and is modeled primarily by parents.
Talk together as a family as to how the virtues of respect,
care, mercy, and concern are made visible in your life together. As you
talk gage as to how readily you are able to think of examples. If you
cannot think of that many perhaps it is a sign that busy lives while
seemingly productive can also dull one to the meaning of events and
the experiences of those it is shared with. Make a promise to each
other to spend more time examining your day together so
that the signs and moments when support is needed will
become more evident. Be Christ to each other and then
go out and share his love with the world!
