Kateri was born near the town of Auriesville, new York, in the year 1656, the daughter of a Mohawk warrior. She was four years old when her mother died of smallpox. The disease also attached Kateri and transfigured her face. She was adopted by her two aunts and an uncle.
Kateri became converted as a teenager. She was baptized at the age of twenty and incurred the great hostility of her tribe. Although she had to suffer greatly for her Faith, she remained firm in it. Kateri went to the new Christian colony of Indians in Canada. Here she lived a life dedicated to prayer, peni-tential practices, and care for the sick and aged. Every morning, even in bitterest winter, she stood before the chapel door until it opened at four and remained there until after the last Mass. She was devoted to the Eucharist and to Jesus Crucified. She died on April 7, 1680, at the age of twenty-four and was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II. She is known as the “Lily of the Mohawks” She was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Pe-
ter's Basilica on 21 October 2012.
PRAYER; Lord, You called the Virgin, Saint Kateri, to shine forth among the Indian people as an example of purity o life.
Grant, through her intercession, that all peoples of every tribe, tongue and nation may be gathered into Your Church and pro-
claim Your greatness in one song of praise. Amen

SAINT KATERI TEKAKWITHA, Virgin
The Same Day —July 14
My Dear Parishioners,
Today we observe the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time as we assemble to celebrate Jesus’ Holy Resurrection on this, the Lord’s
Day! As we are already into the second week of July many of our parishioners will be on the move. Summer time is the time all
of us need to “chill out,” as the kids would say. We need this time to relax, reflect and enjoy recreation in the beautiful days
which the Lord provides for us. In the Gospel for today the Lord Jesus recognizes our need to rest, “Come to me, all of you who
labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
for you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
We can see that we not only need the rest which the summer vacation season offers but more importantly, we need the rest which
only God can offer. This rest is found each week in the proper observance of the Lord’s Day. On this day, EACH WEEK, we
join in the celebration of the Eucharist in our parish church and then spend the day with family and friends. During this time we
strengthen our relationships and make time to rest and reflect. Our reflection is done through our prayers which provide us with
the peace which only God can give us.
I too look forward to this time of year when things become a little still in our parishes. This provides me and our priests with a
little bit of time to rest and reflect as well.
Because this is a more quiet time of the year I made the decision to CLOSE THE SAINT CECILIA PARISH OFFICE FOR
THIS ENTIRE WEEK. The parish office will be closed and will not reopen until Monday, July 16th. The office is closed for the
week so that a new floor can be installed in the parish office. The new floor will include the main office, chapel, sacristy, confer-
ence room and hall way. The work will be done on the first floor only. I ask for your understanding and apologize for any incon-
venience this may cause. The parish phone will be monitored each day but no one will be in the office to conduct parish busi-
ness. The parish office at Sacred Heart of Jesus will remain open for business during its normal hours.
As your pastor and the one who is responsible for not only the spiritual affairs of the parish but the temporal as well, I remind
you of the importance of your regular and generous offerings to Our Lord. These offerings provide the means for us to pay our
bills. I am so grateful to you for your generosity and I pray that the good Lord will richly bless you!
On Tuesday Deacon Matt leaves for Europe for a vacation to be with his parents and family. He has not seen them for a couple
of years and it is good that he will be with them in Poland. Deacon Matt will be returning to us next month. In the meantime it is
only me and Father Pawel and our good Deacon Paul who are serving you for the summer.
