SIXTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME PAGE 1 JULY 22, 2018 Thoughts from Fr. Scott The last few weeks have been busy around here and a number of folks have let me know they too are dealing with many things. It is altogether too easy to let life control us and lead us far away from our intended desires. Life does have a way of getting in the way of our daily routines. Still, I hope we are all gaining some “down time” this summer. It is important to recharge our batteries as families in particular. We need to take charge and relax in order to stay sane. Please use the summer months as an opportunity to be with family and friends. I would think here in the land of the lakes this would be a welcome idea. Do not forget to be with Jesus daily in prayer and you will be amazed at how refreshed you can become as a family. Praying daily makes all the difference. Last week we, the priests of the Archdiocese, gathered for a relaxing social at St. Hugo of the Hills. Every year the parish priests there invite us for a mid-summer night of fraternal support. It was good to see our brother priests and converse with them about many different things. It was a good night to share stories and renew old friendships. Please pray for us. Spiritually, emotionally and physically we have been trying to keep our heads above water. Some have been more successful than others. None-the-less, we all need your support and prayers. So, if you remember, please offer a prayer for all priests this week. The proclamation of our readings has two very important and necessary messages for us. The first is proper shepherding and the second is the necessity to rest and remain in God after completing our goals as set forth by Him. A stern warning is given to all shepherds in the first reading. Note well: your pastor carefully heeds this warning. I am constantly reminded in prayer, and from my friends, that being a caring and compassionate shepherd is most important. I do my best to accomplish this way of being on a daily basis but am painfully aware that I do not always measure up. Still, I promise to do my prayerful best to guide us along the way of salvation. As many a great priest has proclaimed and I echo: I am here to save souls and love God! With respect to our second theme, we all need to rest in Christ more diligently. Too many of us fail to pray and be with Christ in a substantial manner at any point in our lives. In Christ all things are possible and we are connected in a way unlike any other. Without Him we can do nothing and all will be hollow. This manner of being requires us to be rested and ready to live for Him. Many of us believe we can live our lives without recharging or resting. This line of thought is contrary to the example set by Christ in our Gospel today. We all need to rest in Christ and be with Him at all times. So, let us heed His recommendation and use our summer months to rest in Christ. It has been a joy getting to know Fr. Christopher and our being in the same house has been a seamless transition. We have been dealing with car trouble, both of us, over the last few weeks. This has made getting around a bit difficult. Still, his transition to our community is going well and I thank everyone for being so welcoming. Fr. Christopher is not the only new staff member making a move to Lakes this year. Mrs. Kenny has been around daily and things are starting to take shape at the school as well. Add to all of this our continued program planning for faith formation, RCIA and our Christian service and it makes for busy days planning and preparing. Please pray for the entire staff at Lakes. We are all here to serve you and your families. Our time this summer is an opportunity for us to prepare to serve while offering everything to the Father through Jesus and Mary. This is all to say, I am looking forward to a great year of ministry ahead. God Bless and have a great week! Fr. Scott Thought for the week: Following the model of the one true Shepherd of Souls keeps all of us on a holy path!

SIXTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME PAGE 1 JULY 22, 2018
Thoughts from Fr. Scott The last few weeks have been busy around here and a number of folks have let me know they
too are dealing with many things. It is altogether too easy to let life control us and lead us far away from our intended desires. Life does have a way of getting in the way of our daily routines. Still, I
hope we are all gaining some “down time” this summer. It is important to recharge our batteries as
families in particular. We need to take charge and relax in order to stay sane. Please use the
summer months as an opportunity to be with family and friends. I would think here in the land of the lakes this would be a welcome idea. Do not forget to be with Jesus daily in prayer and you will
be amazed at how refreshed you can become as a family. Praying daily makes all the difference.
Last week we, the priests of the Archdiocese, gathered for a relaxing social at St. Hugo of the
Hills. Every year the parish priests there invite us for a mid-summer night of fraternal support. It was good to see our brother priests and converse with them about many different things. It was a
good night to share stories and renew old friendships. Please pray for us. Spiritually, emotionally
and physically we have been trying to keep our heads above water. Some have been more
successful than others. None-the-less, we all need your support and prayers. So, if you remember, please offer a prayer for all priests this week.
The proclamation of our readings has two very important and necessary messages for us. The
first is proper shepherding and the second is the necessity to rest and remain in God after
completing our goals as set forth by Him. A stern warning is given to all shepherds in the first reading. Note well: your pastor carefully heeds this warning. I am constantly reminded in prayer,
and from my friends, that being a caring and compassionate shepherd is most important. I do my
best to accomplish this way of being on a daily basis but am painfully aware that I do not always
measure up. Still, I promise to do my prayerful best to guide us along the way of salvation. As many a great priest has proclaimed and I echo: I am here to save souls and love God!
With respect to our second theme, we all need to rest in Christ more diligently. Too many of us
fail to pray and be with Christ in a substantial manner at any point in our lives. In Christ all things
are possible and we are connected in a way unlike any other. Without Him we can do nothing and all will be hollow. This manner of being requires us to be rested and ready to live for Him. Many of
us believe we can live our lives without recharging or resting. This line of thought is contrary to the
example set by Christ in our Gospel today. We all need to rest in Christ and be with Him at all
times. So, let us heed His recommendation and use our summer months to rest in Christ.

at the school as well. Add to all of this our continued program planning for faith formation, RCIA

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION
OF ADULTS (R.C.I.A.)
CLASSES NOW FORMING
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a process in
which those seeking to grow in an understanding of the
Roman Catholic faith come together to explore Catholic
beliefs. This process is designed for adults who are thinking
of becoming Catholic, for those who know that they want to
become Catholic as well as for those who have been
baptized, but have not yet completed their Sacraments of
Initiation (Eucharist and/or Confirmation).
The program of Christian initiation begins in the fall and
continues through the end of the Easter season. People
who take part in R.C.I.A. meet weekly. Here is an
atmosphere of welcome, prayer, education and fellowship.
In no way does the R.C.I.A. process exert pressure on
those who participate but instead allows for the opportunity
to contemplate this important decision while learning the
teachings of the Church.
Adults, who wish to be baptized, or complete the
Sacraments of Initiation, are solemnly welcomed into the
Church or into full communion at the Great Vigil of Easter.
For more information about R.C.I.A. please contact the
Religious Education Center at 248-623-0291.
FAITH FORMATION
DIVINE MERCY
Write this: before I come as the just Judge,
I am coming first as The King of Mercy.
Before the day of justice arrives, there will be
given to people a sign in the heavens of this
sort: All light in the heavens will be
extinguished and there will be great darkness over the
whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the
sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of
the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will
light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place
shortly before the last day. (Diary 83)
There will be a gathering of the Eucharistic Apostles of
the Divine Mercy on Tuesday, July 24th in the church
beginning at 7:00pm. All are welcome to join us.

HOST FAMILIES WANTED!
Dear Laker Families,
As Our Lady of the Lakes continues with our
international student program, we are looking for high
school host families for the 2018/2019 school year.
Each host family receives a monthly stipend while
students pay tuition and ALL personal expenses.
All students return home for our summer break. This
is a great way to share cultures while affording
international students an education at Our Lady of the
Lakes.
This opportunity not only helps you but also helps
diversify the cultural base of our school, giving our
students a broader perspective of life in other cultures.
Please consider this great opportunity and feel

concerns.

GIFT CARD PROGRAM Free money for our school!
Store gift cards can be purchased through the Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) and be used instead of cash or credit at the stores and restaurants you normally frequent. Hundreds of different grocery, gas, retail, restaurant, mail-order and other stores participate in T.R.I.P. You receive dollar-for-dollar gift certificates to use at your favorite places and each store donates a percentage of the total purchase to OLL.
PARISH FAMILIES
Anyone can purchase gift cards without registering in the program. If you would like to purchase cards but are not interested in the tuition rebate, 100% of the rebate will be credited to the schools. Stop by the Parish Center to purchase cards and let the receptionist know you don’t wish to be enrolled. Purchase any available cards in the box.
SCHOOL FAMILIES
Half of the percentage is given to the school and the other half is applied directly toward your tuition bill!
The T.R.I.P. year runs from May 1 through April 30, allowing families to receive their tuition credit before the first payment of the next school year is due.
WAYS TO ORDER AND
EARN TRIP CREDIT
A large number of retailers are available on our order form but we can’t list them all due to space limitations. Go
to www.shopwithscrip.com for a full list of retailers available. You can order any gift card from that list even if it isn’t on our order form. Order forms are also available at the school reception desk and Parish Center or online at
ollonline.org under the Current Families tab.
HOW TO SIGN UP
You can complete the registration form that comes in the packet at the beginning of the school year. You can also get additional forms at the school office anytime throughout the year for yourself or for your friends and family. Anyone can order gift cards through T.R.I.P. and indicate on the order form which family is to receive the credit for the sale. Encourage family and friends to order through T.R.I.P. to increase the credit towards your tuition bill.
For questions or concerns, please email:
This program is also available to parishioners. The credit you earn will be donated to the school.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
JUNE UPDATE
During the month of June, Our Lady of the Lakes St. Vincent de Paul made deposits totaling $3,300.62 and wrote checks to help families in the amount of $4,267.47. We made 5 home visits, had 10 interviews in the Parish Center, made over 50 phone calls and spent 60 hours helping those in need. Our St. Vincent de Paul meets the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00am in the Parish Center. Members attend meetings, and take turns answering the calls from the SVdP phone line. Each case is different. We return calls and assess each case individually. We are asked for help with food, gas, utilities and rent most often. It is common that families are living paycheck to paycheck and if they have an illness or unexpected expense then they cannot pay rent or utilities. We are always looking for new members!! Thank you for generously contributing to Our Lady of the Lakes St. Vincent de Paul. We are able to help because we have your support.
REST IN PEACE
Remember those who have
gone before us
Emma Jean Sanderson
“Happy are those who have
died in the Lord;
Let them rest from their labors
For their good deeds
go with them.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with their families. May
the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of
God, rest in peace. Amen.

CSA MINUTE
NATIONAL COLLECTIONS
Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal fund the Archdiocese of Detroit’s contribution to six national collections of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops each year.
The bishops in the United States created national collections so dioceses could combine resources and more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each collection represents our community of faith at work in our country and around the world.
CSA gifts are given to the collections for the Catholic University of America, Catholic Communication Campaign, Holy Land, Church in Latin America, Catholic Home Missions, and Black and Indian Missions.
For information about CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to aod.org.
Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s Scripture readings present the theme of the Good Shepherd. The prophet Jeremiah warns those shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock that their evil deeds will not go unpunished. He prophesies about Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who God will lift up as a righteous shoot from David’s line. St. Paul reminds us how, through Christ, we are brought together in Him. In St. Mark’s Gospel, Jesus shows compassion by taking pity on the crowd, the lost sheep, and begins to instruct them. How can we seek a deeper relationship with Christ, the Good Shepherd? Do we, in the spirit of evangelization, encourage with love our brothers and sisters who have left the faith to reopen their hearts to Jesus — to allow Him personally into their lives? Begin by asking them to attend Alpha or another evangelization series at your parish.

RIGHT TO LIFE-LIFESPAN
PP CLOSES CLINIC
It is perhaps a small victory but proof that the efforts of pro-life people are having a decided impact on the abortion industry when it was announced by Operation Rescue that the Midtown Heath Center Planned Parenthood in Kansas City, Missouri, which began offering abortion drugs last September, has now halted abortions due to an inability to locate an abortionist for that facility. There is no anticipated date when abortions might resume. Prayer and hard work are protecting babies and their moms in Kansas City.

As shepherd of Detroit, he loved and guided us. As
teacher, he educated and engaged us to be informed
Catholics. As Council Father, he invited and inspired us to
grow a vibrant Vatican II church. As host of the first national
Call to Action in 1976, he welcomed and listened to the
People of God on behalf of the U.S. Bishops which he led
as president from 1966 to 1971. We will come together to
thank God for his wisdom, vision, courage, integrity,
leadership and love and to celebrate our beloved
community of faith.
