In today's Gospel a scholar questions Jesus about how to gain eternal life. In case anyone ever wonders whether heaven is within reach, one only needs to refer to this Gospel. Jesus provides a clear answer that gives us a clear plan of action: We are to love God with all that we are, and also to love our neighbors. Really, it's that simple. The scholar, however, complicated things to make himself look better. Instead of accepting the simplicity of Jesus' instruction, he wanted to split hairs, asking, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied with the story of the Good Samaritan-and the lesson that our neighbors are not just those we know or love. Rather, our neighbor is the person that needs our help, the person whom we would rather ignore, the person whom God puts in our path. In short, everyone is our neighbor and we are called to treat everyone with mercy. This is part of how we gain eternal life. But this flows from the first element of Jesus' answer. First and foremost, Jesus instructs us to love God "with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind." When we love God in this way, truly as the Lord of our life, then loving our neighbors becomes the easy part. When our hearts and minds are full of the love of God-who loves all people-then it will necessarily follow that we too will desire to share that love with others and not count the cost. The Good Samaritan is an excellent example of this kind of love. Without hope of repayment, he gave of his time and his money to help the poor victim. But in return, the Samaritan will surely "gain eternal life." Page 3 Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) What is the RCIA? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process for individuals who are interested in becoming Catholic or individuals who were baptized Catholic and did not receive any further instruction in their faith. It is called a process because it is a journey that individuals begin and continue to the day they die, as all journeys in faith. Who should attend the RCIA? ! Individuals who have never been baptized and wish to join the Catholic faith. ! Individuals who have been baptized in another faith and wish to come Catholic. ! Individuals who are baptized Catholic and did not receive any further instruction in their faith. ! You are married to a Catholic and now want to become Catholic too. If you would like to become Catholic and begin the RCIA process, please call Laura Scanlan at the parish office at 313.937.1500 x114. Redford Women’s Outreach Backpacks Can you believe it! But it is that time of year again when we gather donations of school supplies and fill backpacks. I know that it seems like school just finished for the school year; however Sue Pherson from Redford Interfaith Relief would like to distribute the backpacks in early August. Those school supplies ads will be out before we know it! Please see the flyer in the bulletin to see what school supply items are needed. Let’s help the children of Redford Interfaith Relief be prepared with all of the supplies they need at the start of a new school year. All women and girls (6th grade and older) are welcome to join us on July 31st. When have you gone out of your way to help a stranger in need? St. John Bosco Parish Page 4 PASTORAL NOTES In the gospel reading at Mass Jesus gives f u r t h e r instruction on what it means to be his disciples. A lawyer as ked Jesus: "What must I do to inherit everlasting life?" The lawyer answered his own question by stating what was in the law. We should love God above all things and love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus responded that he should go and do it. The man wanted to know who his neighbor was. Jesus thought this was the wrong question because it implied the idea of which one he did not have to love. The real question should be: "How can I be a neighbor to others?" Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan to answer this latter question. In the story the priest and Levite passed up the man in need because they were held back by the law. For a priest or Levite to even get near a dead body would have made them unfit to perform their ministry in the temple. Their legalism prevented them from practicing charity while the despised Samaritan took the time to help the man in need. People in every age may have to face a similar problem when faced with two duties such as church responsibilities versus helping someone. We try to learn the teachings of our Catholic faith and the principles of Christian behavior. Jesus, however, tells us to go and do. It is not enough to know the Gospel, nor even to believe it. The Gospel must be lived. Jesus challenges us to become loving and caring people, to apply the principles we learn. We are called to be neighbor to others. Our 60th Anniversary Banquet was a happy event. Many thanks to all who helped with the arrangements, especially Sally Bazan who organized the dinner and Carol Tomiko who handled ticket sales. It was truly a memorable evening.. I hope you are able to enjoy some vacation time and appreciate these beautiful summer days. Fr.

What is a Stephen Minister? A Stephen Minister is a lay person, man or woman, who through 50 hours of training, will learn skills and develop his/her gifts for bringing Christ’s healing love to people who are lonely, grieving, strangers, new parents, ill, or experiencing other stresses in life. A Stephen Minister is a caring, sharing person who reaches out a supporting hand to the spiritual, social and emotional needs of the community. A Stephen Minister is a person who cares about other people and wants to help reduce their burdens. They do not work alone, but are supported within the Stephen Ministry structure. We have had an active Stephen Ministry program here at St. Robert Bellarmine parish for over eight years and hope to continue the program for many years to come. May the Holy Spirit guide you in determining if this ministry may be something you would enjoy doing. It is a tremendously rewarding experience. Training classes for new Stephen Ministers will be starting in a few months. See the bulletin periodically for more information about this ministry. If you are interested in the training, have questions or would like more information, please call 313-937-1500, ext 114. When have you gone out of your way to help a stranger in need?

July 10, 2016 St. Robert Bellarmine Parish 3rd Annual St. Robert Bellarmine Harvest Auction The Harvest Auction needs your help! One activity that truly sets our auction apart from others in the area is our tin can raffle. A tin can raffle is when you purchase tickets and place one or more tickets in any “can” you wish to try and win that item. At a certain point in the evening, a winning ticket is pulled from each can. We try to have something for everyone! The tin can items can range from dinner for a week featuring gift cards from local restaurants, to sports items to a Coach purse. How can you help? Leading up to the auction, we will list items each week that are “Wanted”. If you can donate one of the “Wanted” items, we will be able to make our tin can raffle even bigger and better! As an incentive, for every item(s) you donate valued at $100 or more, you will receive a free auction admission ticket! All donations can either be dropped off at the church rectory, dropped in the collection baskets or can be picked up by a committee member by calling Denise Cieglo at (313) 300-3615. Wanted Items for the Week of July 10th Event tickets: do you have season tickets to a sporting event? Lions, Red Wings, U of M or MSU football, even Pistons tickets are known to bring in high bids! Or, are you more into the theater? Tickets to a show at the Opera House, Fisher or Fox Theatre are known to cause a bidding frenzy as well! Don't forget to ask at work as well! Many organizations purchase season tickets to events and will be more than happy to donate a pair to our event. It never hurts to ask...what do you have to lose? Catholic Services Appeal 2016 Today we begin our 2016 CSA Campaign. Please prayerfully consider the most generous gift possible to support 2016 CSA. As we have done in previous years, if you donate or pledge a minimum of $100 by Monday, August 22, 2016, your name will be entered to win $100. CSA Minute: Natural Family Planning "Natural Family Planning. Love, Mercy, Life. Opening the Heart of Marriage" is the theme of National Natural Family Planning (NFP) Awareness Week 2016, held this July 24 to 30. The campaign of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops celebrates God's design for married love and the gift of life and raises awareness of NFP methods. Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal allow the archdiocesan Office for Natural Family Planning, which is part of the Department of Evangelization, Catechesis and Schools, to offer classes in and presentations about NFP methods. To celebrate NFP Awareness Week, the Office for Natural Family Planning is hosting a family picnic with the Couple to Couple League at VFW Park in Royal Oak on Sunday, July 24. Anyone living, supportive of, or interested in NFP is welcome. For more information about NFP Awareness Week or RSVPing to the family picnic, or about other CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, go to www.AOD.org. Page 9 Mercy in Action For the last several weeks in the bulletin there has been an article about Mercy in Action. Each parish or a group of parishes will plan an activity to benefit our local Community. The day of this event is Saturday, October 1, 2016 from 8am – 1:00pm. The day will start with registration, a continental breakfast, prayer service and then off to complete the project for the community. At Noon everyone comes back to have lunch, a table discussion of the day, prayer service and the day is ended. I am looking for an individual to chair this project. Chairing this project involves recruiting volunteers; attendance at four to five (4-5) meetings to provide your status on this project. I am working on the activity for this day, however if anyone has any ideas of what we can do for the community, please let me know. Parishioners of all ages can get involved. This activity would be great for scout troops, confirmation candidates who need service hours or other individuals who need service hours for their school. Each child must be accompanied by an adult. Everyone who participates in this project will receive a free T-Shirt. We are the face of Christ. Joins us and make a difference. To participate, please call or email Laura Scanlan, pastoralassociate@strobertbellarmine.com. Redford Interfaith Relief Needs Your Help Redford Interfaith Relief is in desperate need for volunteers. This would be a great volunteer opportunity for older teens. Help is mainly needed on Tuesday and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You would be assisting customers to their cars with their groceries. If you are a young lady and like to sort clothes, there are opportunities for you to work on Tuesdays and Fridays 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. In this Year of Mercy, you would be fulfilling two (2) Corporal Works of Mercy – Feed the Hungry and Clothe the Naked. Please prayerfully consider these opportunities to serve others. If you would like to volunteer, please call or email Laura Scanlan. When have you gone out of your way to help a stranger in need?
