Dear Friends,

July is a very important month around the parish for a number of

reasons. Since we are all on summer vacation mode, many of

our ministries slow down so that we can all take a breather, for

which we are grateful! We’ve just finished with some major

parish activities. Our Spring Fest was the most successful we’ve

ever had. The renovation of the main sanctuary was completed,

culminating in Bishop Vásquez’ consecration of the altar and

blessing of the baptismal font. And we finished another suc-

cessful Religious Education year with the children of the parish.

Another great thing about July is that it

gives our Director of Facilities, Darrell

Wallace, the chance to manage some

important projects around the parish.

We are well on the way to completely

renovating the restrooms in the Parish

Hall as well as completely renovating

the restrooms in the Day Chapel (both

of which were very much needed to say

the least). In addition, the entry way to

the Day Chapel will have a new tem-

pered glass doorway which will be open

on Sundays as an alternative entrance/exit

for your convenience. With the help of

Kyle Heitmiller and Larry Michna, we

also are nearing the completion of our par-

ish hall audio/visual package. This is go-

ing to be wonderful for all of the ministries

who use the hall for different events.

There are a couple of other Repair &

Maintenance/Capital Improvement pro-

jects that we hope to tackle this summer

too. We are currently getting bids for repairing the pot holes

and cracks in the parking lot just outside of the day chapel and

RE building as well as seal coating and re-striping. This will be

done in July and August. We are also going to construct a

dumpster enclosure just outside of the parish hall kitchen which

will be very useful in keeping that area more tidy as well as hav-

ing a storage place for trash cans and mop buckets.

All of this is what I call the Spirituality of Facilities. The Word

spoke all of existence into being out of chaos. Thus it follows

that we are charged to imitate the Word in what we do as stew-

ards of the earth. The Church is the perfect place to imitate the

Word. When we keep our place clean and orderly and beautiful

we participate in His creating essence. We do this so that we

can come here to find rest and rejuvenation in a chaotic world.

Then we are sent forth to do the work of God so as to come back

next week here to rejuvenate again. Together let’s continue to

make CTK a place of peace and order.

Have a great week!

treats, trail mix or other quick grab snacks

for our Retreat. These will need to be deliv-

ered to the Parish Hall kitchen by 10am

Religious Education Spotlight

Students, last week you had to “Take a

Stand”, continue to do so and you will be-

come great Christians. Do you like to camp

or even to be outdoors? Well in a few weeks

you will be able to attend Vacation Bible

School at SONRISE National Park and Find the True Power

of Jesus’ Promises. Every day there will be a different bible

story, bible verse, and there will be amazing games, but most

of all, you will have a great time of song, snacks, and fellow-

ship. So that brings us to this week’s topic, to prepare yourself

for VBS, please read these bible stories: Matthew 4:1-11,

Mark 4:35-41, 6:30-44, 15:1-16:20, John 6:1-14, Acts 16:16-

40.

Catechist, past, current and future, you have read or even

heard the reading about the harvest in Luke, “He said to them,

"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the

master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” In a

few weeks the harvest of our parish will be abundant, with

many returning students, but the labors will be less than last

year. Please consider in your daily prayer the calling to this

ministry, a CATECHIST. Please call or stop by the RE office,

I would like to visit with you.

Parents, the RE program is looking for a team of volunteers to

assist in any way possible as office aides which consist of

data entry, filing & talking with parents. You may even have

to substitute for a Catechist when needed. Bi-lingual is not a

requirement, but it is a plus. Please consider in your daily

prayers what role you could assist in and please stop by RE

office for more information. The RE office will be open a few

more hours during the week, so that I may be more available

to your needs. Summer hours, RE office will be closed this

week, office reopens at 4pm-6pm, July 24.25.26, VBS week

July 30 – Aug 3 4pm-8:30pm.

If you would like to purchase one or both al-

tar flower arrangements in memory of a

loved one, or to observe a special occasion,

please contact the parish office.

Helping Hands, Project Apple Tree

Is Here! This provides school clothing

and supplies for needy children that

attend the Belton School District.

Red apple tags represent a complete outfit of

new clothing (1 pair of jeans, 1 shirt, a package of underwear, pack-

age of socks and a pair of sport shoes). Yellow apple tags repre-

sent school supplies at all grade levels, pre-k through high school

seniors. It is anticipated that this year we will be handing out more

than last year’s 1,550 apples! Please return your apples no

later than the 5PM mass on Sunday, August 12th. Distribution day is August 20th. Deacon Dave and Elaine Shoe-

make will be spearheading this event, and will need as much help as

possible with transporting these to First Baptist. Sorters will be

needed the week of August 13th-17th at First Baptist. Please call the

Shoemake’s 939-3362 to put your name on the volunteer list or

email the office: ctkoffice@ctkbelton.org.
