SEMINARIAN, JOHN BAUMGARDNER John Baumgardner is a s e m i n a r i a n f o r t h e Archdiocese of Milwaukee. We are very fortunate that his parish assignment for the summer is again at St. Francis de Sales! John will be orda ined to the transitional diaconate in Sept., and then to the priesthood in July of 2017. Each summer, the seminary faculty asks the seminarians to be responsible for a “special project” in the parish they are assigned. This year John's “project” is volunteering to be the seminarian chaplain for our Catholic Central High School Football Team. John’s faith and sports are both important to him. He attended Pius XI High School, playing varsity football (quarterback), baseball, and ran track & field. Prior to attending seminary, John attended the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN and was a member of the football team for two years. He also has been involved with the parish youth group at St. Francis de Sales, having recently attended both Stuebenville and the mission trip to Harlan, Kentucky with our teens. John also is currently a member of the chaplaincy team for the University of Dallas, and served on summer staff at Catholic Youth Expeditions, a Catholic youth camp for teens/young adults in the Green Bay diocese. Thank you John for being such a wonderful example and leader for our middle school and high school kids! Save the date for the BYE BYE BURGER BASH at SFDS on Aug. 21. We’re having a farewell indoor picnic for John before he heads back to Rome.

SOLEMNITY OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY The Solemni ty of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is on Aug. 15. Because it falls on a Monday this year, the obligation is lifted.

ST. FRANCIS DE SALES BIBLE STUDY School is back in session and it is also time for the Fall Bible Study class to begin. Our study this session will be the Gospel of St John and the Johannine Letters. The Gospel of St. John follows Jesus through his public ministry of “signs” that lead to His passion, death, resurrection and ultimate ascent to the glory of His heavenly Father. This will be a 15 week session that will start on Wednesday, Sept. 7 and will end on Dec. 14. We meet at 10 a.m. each Wednesday in the Parish Hall. Cost for the session is $15.00. If you are interested in joining us or learning more about our group, please contact P a t C r a m e r a t (262) 327-4303 or kcramer8407@gmail.com. We always welcome new members.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK… Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Francis de Sales Parish, Tomorrow, Monday, Aug. 15, is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is normally a holy day of obligation, although when it falls on a Monday, the obligation is lifted. It is a day on which we celebrate with the whole Church what our loving God did for Mary, the Mother of his only begotten Son. God willed that the Mother of Christ should not undergo the corruption of death, but that she be assumed into the glory of heaven. This solemnity is both an opportunity to honor Mary, the Mother of our Savior, and a time to reflect on what God will do for all those who accept his will as Mary did. Mary is the Model of the Church. She is the one who shows us how to live the Christian life. She answered “yes” to God’s call, and proclaimed herself the handmaid of the Lord. True discipleship entails faithful acceptance of God’s will, and a willingness to serve God always. Mary’s Assumption gives us a glimpse of what God has in store for those who love and serve him – eternal happiness in his loving presence. There will be three opportunities to attend Mass tomorrow at our parish on Monday, Aug. 15 on the Solemnity of the Assumption: 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 7:00 p.m. God’s Blessings, Fr. Jim Schuerman Queridos Miembros de la Parroquia de San Francisco de Sales, Mañana, lunes, el 15 de agosto, es la Solemnidad de Asunción de la Santísima Virgen María. Normalmente es un día santo de obligación, pero cuando cae en un día lunes, no es obligatorio ir a la misa. Es un momento para contemplar lo que Dios hizo por la Madre de su Unigénito. Dios quiso que la corrupción de la muerta nunca tocara a la Madre de Jesucristo nuestro Señor. Entonces, Dios la levantó a la gloria del cielo. Esta solemnidad es una oportunidad para honrar a María, la Madre del Salvador, y a la vez reflexionar sobre lo que Dios quiere hacer para todos los que acepten su voluntad. María es el Modelo de la Iglesia. Ella es la que nos muestra como vivir la vida cristiana verdadera. María escuchó la llamada del Señor, y la acepto, proclamándose la sierva del Señor. Ella nos enseña que los discípulos verdaderos tienen que aceptar la voluntad de Dios y servirle en todo. La Asunción de la Virgen María nos hace más conscientes de lo que Dios quiere para los le sirven con amor – la felicidad eterna en su presencia. Habrá tres oportunidades para asistir misa para la Solemnidad de la Asunción mañana, el 15 de agosto: a las 7:00 a.m. (ingles), a las 9:00 a.m. (ingles), y a las 7:00 p.m. (bilingüe). Que Dios los bendiga, Padre Jim Schuerman

DEAR FRIENDS... This past week, I had the privilege of accompanying a group of pilgrims from the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist as we visited all 10 Holy Doors in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. On behalf of our group, let me say thank you for your welcome hospitality. As we visited the Holy Door of your church, we offered prayers for those in your parish and everyone in the Archdiocese. In addition, we offered urgent prayers for peace in our homes, cities and the entire world. I hope that you might be inspired as we conclude this Jubilee Year of Mercy, to visit your Cathedral - as individuals, families or a parish group. We would love to welcome your to the Mother Chirch of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee for a chance to pray and learn more about the history of the Archdiocese and your Cathedral. Tours are easily arranged or visit on a Sunday for Mass. It would be a privilege to welcome you! Please visit our website at www.stjohncathedral.org or send me an email jeffhaines@st.johncathedral.org. Thank you again on behalf of our pilgrim group! Sincerely, Very Rev. Jeffery R.
