Message from Father Jim
Becoming Catholic
Those interested in learning about Jesus
and the Catholic faith, or becoming a
Catholic Christian themselves, are
encouraged to contact Jarrett Wendt:

highly personalized and can begin as
early as tomorrow! Adult Catholics

who is thinking about becoming
Catholic? Please pray for them, walk
with them on their journey, and
encourage them to contact us when
ready! A great info resource is
www.formed.org, code: a12562
The Sacrament
of Marriage
The Sacrament of Marriage can be
celebrated at a time convenient to
the couple and in accordance with
the parish schedule. The date and
time of the celebration must be
scheduled only with a priest or
deacon of the parish. The couple
must contact a priest or deacon of
the parish preferably one year prior
to the desired wedding date, but no
less than six months prior to their
desired date. The St. Cecilia Wedding
Guidelines 2019, is available from
the Parish Office and on our website.
This contains additional information
and guidelines.
Baptism
All parents seeking baptism for their
child are expected to attend a
preparation session. Parents are
recommended to attend a session
prior to the birth of their child.
Next Session of Baptism:
Preparation for the second born
child is Monday, July 22, 7pm.
Godparents are also expected to
attend. This session will be held
in the St. Louis Room.
July 4 Independence Day.
As we celebrate the 243rd anniversary of the founding of these United
States this week, I offer you excerpts of a prayer for our nation
composed by John Carroll of Baltimore, the first Catholic bishop of our country.
"We pray O God of might, wisdom and justice, through whom authority is rightly
administered, laws are enacted, and judgments decreed, assist with your Holy Spirit of
counsel and fortitude the president of these United States, that his administration may
be conducted in righteousness and be eminently useful to your people over whom he
presides: by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion: by a faithful execution of
the laws in justice and mercy; and by restraining vice and immorality.
Let the light of your divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and shine forth
in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government, so that they may
tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the increase of
industry, sobriety and useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessing of equal
liberty.”
Amen.

Great sightseeing, traditional entertainment and fabulous
cultural elements define an amazing tour of the Imperial
cities of Central Europe (8/24/20—9/3/20). A city tour of
Budapest features the Matthias Church, where many kings
have had their coronations. Travel back in time with a visit to
a 14th-century castle, where knights with colorful costumes
and authentic weaponry recreate the days of chivalry. In the
grand city of Vienna, the baroque marvels of Schoenbrunn
Palace, the summer retreat of the Habsburg dynasty, are
revealed. See Prague’s Hradcany Castle and its famous Golden
Lane. Your tour concludes with a memorable and moving
performance of the Oberammergau Passion Play; the origins
of this historic event date back to 1634.

Stewardship: In today’s second reading, St. Paul provides
a wonderful one-sentence summary of Christian stewardship:
Out of love, place yourselves in one another’s service.
Marriage Corner: Although our culture does not support
it, Scripture tells us that Sundays are a day of rest. Despite
your “To Do List,” save time to recreate and rest with your
beloved today.

What is the Parish Life Committee?
The Mission of the Parish Life Committee is to nurture the
groups under our umbrella to ensure that all members of
St. Cecilia feel welcome and find a social as well as
spiritual home within our community.
We currently have 15 organizations under the Parish Life
umbrella, ranging from ministering to those experiencing
emotional hardships (Funeral Lunches, Prayer Chain),
service & fellowship (Circles, Play Group) and welcoming/
hospitality (Welcoming Committee, Coffee & Donuts). If
you have an idea for a new organization – and are willing
to lead it – we will help you with ideas and best practices.
Please contact Sue Scoles at 515-306-4041 if interested.
Want to enrich your family
and marriage?
Christian Family Movement (CFM)
may be just what you are looking for. The
CFM is a network of small faith-sharing
groups. CFM is for all ages and stages of
families. To learn more, please contact
Deacon Gary and Kay Aitchison at
296-2966 or gaitchis@iastate.edu.
