Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Peace of Christ! We are all back to track with all schools have been started for the new academic year. Our Sunday Religion classes will start in next Sunday. I am so excited to see all our children learning at the Sunday Religion Classes; I encourage all our Parishioners to make a commitment as you promised at the baptism of your child to nurture the spiritual health of our children. Please contact Deacon Tim for registration and more information on how our classes are scheduled on Sundays. In this whole month of August, we reflect on the Most precious body and blood of Our Lord. We will have a great chance to learn more and enrich our faith through more reflections of the teaching of Holy Cath-olic Church on Eucharist. We grow on a different level through our understanding and experience and personal devotion to the Holy Eu-charist. We believe in the real and living presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Just like this story of a little boy who asked the electrician: “What exactly is electricity?” the electrician answered, “I really do not know, son. But I can make it give you light.” Likewise, we may not be able to explain completely how Jesus is in the Eucharist and the process, but we can surely make it through our personal en-counter and experience the life of Our Lord. To be the witness for His love, Fr. Jegan

Parish & Community Events Spiritual Growth

*Holy Day of Obligation, Wednesday August 15th The Feast of the Assumption is one of the most important feast days

of the year and a Holy Day of Obligation The Gospel for this day reminds us that Mary's Assumption into heaven is best understood with regard for the full spectrum of Catholic beliefs about the person of Christ and the person of Mary. Only Mary, who was born without stain of original sin—the Immaculate Conception—could give birth to Christ, who is fully God and fully human. This is called the Immaculate Conception. Because of Mary's role in God's plan of salvation, she does not suffer from the effects of sin, which are death and decay. Mary is the first to receive the fullness of the redemption that her son has won for all of humanity. The Church, therefore, recog-nizes Mary as the sign of the salvation promised to all. Today's Gospel highlights Mary's faith. Mary's faith enabled her to rec-ognize the work of God in her people's history and in her own life. Her openness to God allowed God to work through her so that salvation might come to all. Mary is a model and symbol of the Church. May we be like Mary, open and cooperative in God's plan of salvation

Thank you to our Advertiser of the Week For small engine repair, call David Marshal 765-342-9819

We thank all of our sponsors who continue to advertise on the back of our weekly bulletin. When patronizing our advertisers, please let them

know that you have seen their ad on our bulletin.

Lord Jesus Christ,

As we begin to shift our thoughts from summer schedules to the anticipat-ed demands of autumn, teach us to recognize You, and help us follow you amidst our busy lives. Open the Scriptures to us… that we may know You, see You, hear You – in the voices of friends and family, in the ministries of our parish, in the proclamation of the Word, and in the Breaking of the Bread.

Teach us to be good stewards, that we may use your gifts wisely and care for all

those you place in our path. En-courage us when we are over-whelmed. Strengthen us when we are frightened. Challenge us when we are complacent.

Help us make our August transition a time of spiritual renewal, hope and action: to proclaim the Gospel in our words and in our deeds.

Amen
