Pope Francis has declared an extraordinary jubilee year,

a Holy Year of Mercy which started on December 8, 2015. Please join us in our

prayers and focus on mercy.

What is a Jubilee? I have proclaimed an Extra-ordinary Jubilee of Mercy as a special me for the Church, a me when the witness of believers might grow stronger and more effec ve… We want to live this Jubilee Year in light of the Lord’s words: “Be merciful like the Father is merciful.” I present therefore this Jubilee Year dedicated to living out in our daily lives the mercy which the Father constantly extends to all of us. In this Jubilee Year, may the Church echo the Word of God that resounds strong and clear as a message and a sign of pardon, strength, aid, and love.

Quoted from Pope Francis, Misericordiae Vultus (3, 13, 25)

A Prayer for the Year of Mercy Lord Jesus Christ, You have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees You sees God. Show us Your face and we will be saved. You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests His power above all by forgiveness and mercy; let the Church be Your visible face in the world. Send Your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with His anoin ng, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and Your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring Good News to the poor, proclaim liberty to cap ves and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.

Amen. Pope Francis

Corporal Works of Mercy (CCC 2447) Feed the hungry. Give drink to the thirsty. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Visit the sick. Visit the imprisoned. Bury the dead.

Spiritual Works of Mercy (CCC 2447)

Counsel the doub ul. Instruct the ignorant. Admonish the sinner. Comfort the sorrowful. Forgive injuries. Bear wrongs pa ently. Pray for the living and the dead.

COFFEEHOUSE July 27

from 7-9pm in the Church Hall

On July27th, from 7-9pm, the Knights of Columbus will host this month's social: It will be a Coffee House concept. Anyone who plays an instrument is welcome to come and present. Guitar, piano, harp! Please direct all ques ons to Sam Johnston ([email protected]) or Sco Walker (sco [email protected]). There is no need to pre-register, but you should be ready to play or present at 7 o'clock. If you plan on audience par cipa on, it would be most helpful (though not required), if you could please bring the words to your song so that we can show them on a projected screen. There no charge for this event. Drinks and snacks will be provided.

It’s BACKPACK me! Yes, it’s me to fill a “BACK TO SCHOOL” backpack for the children of our sister parish, St. Gregory’s. Target and Staples already have their school supplies out ON SALE and are ready for us! Please grab a backpack and fill it with the following items before placing it in the back of the Church by August 14th. *1 (2”) 3-ring binder *loose leaf paper *3 pocket folders *3 spiral notebooks *1 pencil sharpener *10 pencils *5 pens *1 pack crayons *1 pack magic markers *glue s cks These backpacks are always received with such excitement and apprecia on by the children and it’s such a great way to show them our support as they start off the new school year. This is also a great (and fairly inexpensive) ac vity to involve your own children in to teach them about pu ng God’s love into ac on. Loose school supplies will also gladly be accepted.

You can also make a monetary dona on by wri ng a checks to St. Alphonsus and wri ng 'for backpacks' on the nota on line or by giving cash in an envelope labeled 'for backpacks'.

FLOWERS FOR THE SANCTUARY For many of us, live plants and flowers tap our spiritual core and enrich our worship experience. The colors can be coordinated to celebrate the season of the liturgical year. For others, they beau fy the sanctuary. People donate flowers to celebrate weddings, births, and anniversaries, to honor friends and family, to memorialize those who have moved on--for any reason at all. With a beau fully renovated church, we want to establish a flower fund especially to keep coordina ng fresh flowers in front of the altar and by the bap smal font. You can designate your dona on to be used for a specific weekend and in memory of a specific person or event. Please consider dona ng! Contact Dee at [email protected]
