Guatemala Mission Group In Guatemala This Week
Please keep the members of our Guatemala Mission Group in your prayers this week as they travel to and from Guatemala City. They will spend the week working with children at the Valley Of Angels Orphanage. They will also go out into the community to deliver food as well as perform different maintenance tasks around the orphanage.
It is encouraging to hear the inspirational speakers share their story during our mini-retreats after our weekend Masses this month. Thank you Eben Emerson, Charles Giles, Kathryn Loskill, Marla Cottenoir, Rob Hogan, Stacy Saultz, Deacon Daniel, and Kelly Shehan. Your stories seem to promote some insight into our own Christian journeys. May we continue to strive to open our hearts to hear God’s call to guide us in our daily lives. Please check out the weekly readings and other resources on our Mini-Retreat page here.
The Almighty Creator of the Universe desires a relationship with you so much that he would sacrifice his only Son to ensure that you could be united to him, not only in this life, but forever. Spend a few minutes meditating on the mystery of God’s great love for you.

Our evangelization committee has invited several parishioners to ‘Share Their Story’ with our parish community after the Sunday Masses during the month of July. They will share their spiritual story like Fr. Rudi shared his during his homily last Sunday. Fr. has also invited each of us to participate in the mini-retreats here.
If we are open to listening to the various speakers during the retreats, we may realize and accept the challenge to grow spiritually and appreciate our relationship with Jesus. Ultimately, we may all be encourage in our faith, something we may all need, but don’t even realize it. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11
