Thank you so much for all your prayers for our travels. On our last Sunday as a group in

Namalaka, Marie gave a speech of thanks and summarized our goals for the re-signing for

another 3 year covenant. Here is an excerpt of that: "Let us renew our Sister Parish

relationship as equals who all have something of themselves to share, our God given gifts and

talents. Our future looks bright as we expand the school feeding program

to Lungwena (a large neighboring school), support the women group in

starting small business ventures, invite a new delegation from St. Joseph

to visit us in the US in the fall of 2019, promote further connections

between persons of each parish using technologies available like What's

App and committing to regular communication between parishes to share

our news and information. Together we have experienced the grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit in

our encounters with one another. Our fruitful visit has filled us with a

future full of Hope." We plan on organizing a slide show and trip report in

the near future to share all that we experienced.

Old Testament

DAVID KING OF ISRAEL

2 Samuel 5; 1-12

King Saul and his son Jonathan

were killed in battle. That left the

kingship of Israel open to the

strongest person. David had always

been loyal to King Saul even during

the times when Saul was his enemy.

Why had he been loyal?—because

Saul had been anointed by the Lord

to be King of Israel. Saul had one

son who lived through the wars and

wanted to be the King of Israel. But

the people of Israel, one tribe after

another, declared that David should

be their ruler, not only because he

was a strong soldier, but because

the prophet Samuel had anointed

David while Saul was still alive. The

twelve sons of Jacob had become

the twelves tribes of Israel. As time

went by, the families who were de-

scended from Judah and Benjamin

stayed in the south near Jerusalem.

The other tribes stayed in the north.

New Testament

JESUS BLESSES THE CHILDREN

Mark 10: 13-16

Children are the delight of their

parents. The hope of every parent is

that their child will come to love God

and grow up to be a kind and loving

person. Imagine how excited the

families were when they learned that

Jesus was coming near their town or

village.

They hurried out to have Jesus bless

their children. The disciples thought

that Jesus had more

important work to do and “shoo-ed”

the families away. But Jesus showed

how much he loved children by

saying, “Let the children come to me

and do not stop them.” Jesus said

that the kingdom of heaven is made

up of those people who believe with

the faith of a child.

LEARNING ABOUT

OUR FAITH

Models of the

Catholic Church

PEOPLE OF GOD

From ancient times

God has been

choosing people to

be part of his plan

to bless the world.

We call the Church

the People of God

BODY OF CHRIST

When Jesus walked

on the earth with

us, we could see his

body. Now that

Jesus is in Heaven,

he has not

abandoned us.

We are the hands

and feet of Jesus,

his Body on earth.

TEMPLE OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT

The Church is not a

physical temple

made with hands.

Instead, the Church

is a Temple where

God lives in our

hearts, as we love

Him and serve the

world.

ST. BRENDAN’S LADIES BOOK CLUB We're hoping everyone's having a marvelous summer with

lots of time to relax and READ! We're making the lazy

month of August an easy-read month for everyone. We've

selected two small but powerful books. The first is the

classic Gift From the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and

the second written by John William Wennberg, The Empty

Chair - How God Came to Find Me. Many of you may

remember John as he was a parishioner here for many

years. We have invited John to join us for our August

meeting to share his story and perhaps autograph some

books. Come join the fun as we meet in the Brendan House

dining area this Monday, August 27th at 7pm. Questions?

“WE ARE A FRATERNITY UNITED IN CHARITY.”

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS [RCIA] What do Catholics believe? Are they Christian? Do they

worship Mary? These are some of the questions people

who are not Catholic wonder about.

Are you someone wondering about the answers to these

questions? Would you like to explore the Catholic Faith or

become Catholic yourself? Have you been baptized in the

Catholic Faith but never went to formal classes or celebrat-

ed your First Communion or Confirmation? Or are you

someone who is Catholic but would like to renew your faith

as an Adult?

If you answered yes to any of these please consider

becoming part of the RCIA process. We will begin meeting

weekly on Monday night September 10th at 7pm in Lower

Brendan.

For more information or to sign up for RCIA email Pat Ibach

ONLINE GIVING

Every person’s finances

and family situation is dif-

ferent. Jesus makes it

clear that it matters not

how much one gives, but

that it is planned, calculat-

ed, at least some-

what sacrificial (see Luke

24:1-4), and not simply

from what is “leftover” at

the end of the month. We

propose the tithe (10%) as

the ideal every family can

consider working to-

wards. This means taking

steps to give 5% to one’s

parish, and 5% to other

charities or causes you

have personal passion for.
