My Dear Friends,

This week, on July 16th, we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. I always looked

forward to this feast day as a child and as a teenager because of the feast at Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Church in the Town Plot section of Waterbury. My grandmother lived around the block from the church,

and many of my relatives volunteered at the feast, held in the parking lot of Mount Carmel. I would look

forward to the fried dough especially. The feast would include the procession in the streets of the statue

of Our Lady of Mount Carmel as well. Even though I have not attended the feast in many years, I know

that every year Mount Carmel still has the feast in honor of their patron saint.

Also this week, I remember fondly July 17th. Six years ago on July 17th, I brought my little Yorkie,

Barley, home. He was five months old and weighed only 3.9 pounds He’s now a little over 6 pounds. He

has been a joy these last six years and has brought life into the rectories that I have lived in. I know not

everyone is a dog person, but I can honestly say that dogs are wonderful companions and one of God’s

great gifts to mankind. Some people have asked why I named him, Barley. It’s very simple; he is

named after an ingredient in beer, although I must confess that even after six years, I don’t think he

really knows his name. Either that, or he is very stubborn when called. In any event, this week we

celebrate our Blessed Mother under her title, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and we celebrate adoption day

for Barley.

May God bless,

Fr. John

It's a simple concept: love God with

your whole being and put that love

into practice. Which of the three

showed love to the robbers’ victim?

“The one who treated him with

mercy.” Jesus replied, “Go and do

likewise. "How is God calling you to

love? Have you considered life as a priest or religious? If

so, call Fr. Michael Casey, Director of Vocations,

Missionary Weekend

Rev. Grzegorz Ruszaj, Redemptorist, will speak on

behalf of the Redemptorists ministries in Ukraine and

Russia on July 27-28, 2019.

The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer,

Redemptorists, is a missionary congregation that

ministers to the poor in more than 70 countries around the

world. The area of the former Soviet Union is undoubtedly

a place where many neglected people need help. Thanks

to the efforts of Polish Redemptorists, we have been

building the next church there. In front of us, there is the

next project: the completion of the construction at the

church and pastoral center in Togliatti—central Russia.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to all of you

for your prayers, kindness and support of our projects.

Every day, we thank God in our prayers for all people of

"I shall pass through this life but once.

Any good thing I can do,

let me do it now,

for I shall not pass this way again.”

Our Parish Asks for Your Help

Altar Servers Needed

Our parish needs more Altar

Servers (youth and adults) at both

churches. Father John asks that if

you are able to contribute your time

and talents, please speak with him after Mass.

The necessary training will be provided, and

you would be asked to serve approximately

twice a month or less. Many blessings come

From the Director of Music

Dear Friends,

It is with gratitude that I begin my ministry of music here at St. Katharine Drexel. I would like to

thank Fr. John and members of the search committee for giving me the opportunity to be with you.

Father and I will collaborate to build and grow our music program that encourages your

participation in the sung prayer of the Church. I come to you with just over 20 years of Christian

liturgical music experience, degrees, certificates, etc. But more importantly, I come with a desire to give glory

to Almighty God for the many blessings in our lives and inspire what St. Augustine meant when he said,

"Singing is twice praying." My journey to St. Katharine Drexel, both personally and professionally, has had

bumps in the road. Our lives all have conflicts and distractions, but for me, through the trials, one constant

has remained: that is the music. I have a special devotion to the Italian mystic and Saint, Padre Pio. One of

Pio's famous sayings is, "Prega la speranza e non preoccuparti," translated to, "Pray, hope, and don't worry."

I would ask for your prayers as I begin this next chapter with you; let's work together to make a joyful noise.

Do not hesitate to approach me with any questions or comments you may have before or after Mass. I

look forward to meeting you. St. Cecelia - ora pro nobis.
