Mike on retreat from Mon. pm.—Fri.pm VOCATION VIEWS: “The Lord of hosts will provide a feast of rich food.” Let us look only to the Lord for our salvation and peace, for the things of this world pass away. (Isaiah 25:6) October 12, 2014 PASTOR’S CORNER A Synod is a gathering of some bishops with the Pope in Rome. The Synod on the Family began last Sunday. It is better said that the meeting in Rome is probably the beginning of a sustained time of prayer and reflection about the life in Jesus as it is lived out in marriage and family. It is NOT, as some media were striving to make it, an occasion to vote on Church teaching regarding marriage, family planning etc. It IS a time to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit in applying the message of the Scriptures and the wisdom of the tradition on the joys and challenges to marriage and family life in our day. The Synod, on the other hand, it is an occasion for the Church to take more into account the ordinary lives of good Catholics. You may recall that a while back people were invited to respond to a questionnaire in preparation for the Synod. It is the teaching of the Church that a source for discerning the movement of the Holy Spirit is the voice of the People of God. Clearly the People of God have diverse experience and speak with a diverse voice both culturally and in terms of opinion. So the challenge for the Synod during this period of time is to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit in such diversity. For more information go to: http:// www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-andfamily/2014-2015-synods-of-bishops-on-thefamily.cfm. Let us continue to pray for the a deep spiritual renewal in the Church on a parish, diocesan, and universal level.

Mary Wharton, sister of former St. Julie School teacher, Marlene Martz, passed away on Oct. 2, 2014. Prayers & condolences to Marlene & her family. First impressions last. What is a visitor’s first impression when walking in the door for Sunday Mass? Hospitality involves a diversity of ministries: Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, choir, priest, deacon, people who assist with the collection, and GREETERS. A greeter, simply enough, is someone who helps the person walking through the door feel welcome. You can be an individual, couple of friends, or a family. You need to know some basic information about our buildings and about “who’s who” so as to answer questions. But most of all, you need to put yourself in the person’s shoes and consider, “What will make him/her/ them feel like they not only belong, but have been expected?” Earlier in the year as part of her Lay Ministry Program Mary Richter presented a workshop about becoming a more welcoming parish and now we want to get ourselves organized to do just that. If you are interested please join us on Tuesday evening, Oct. 21 [note changed date] from 7:00 to 8:00. If you have questions, contact Fr. Mike. Attention all Bakers!: After all the masses on Oct. 25 & 26, our Confirmation candidates will be selling baked goods at the PREP Bake Sale. The money raised goes to help with various outreach programs…St. Raphael Thanksgiving baskets, Heifer International, Rice Bowl and to children with series health conditions. Baked good donations are welcomed from all our parishioners…just drop off at the tables in the church entrance the days of the sale. THANK YOU! PRAY FOR THE THIRD EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY SYNOD OF BISHOPS- OCT. 5 –19, 2014 The theme of the 2014 Extr aor dinar y Synod is “the pastoral challenges to the family in the context of evangelization.” In preparation for this event and during this event we ask all to pray the prayer of Pope Francis. H " oly Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod of Bishops make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan." - Pope Francis (12.26.13) ST. JULIE BILLIART October 12, 2014 A CATHOLIC APPROACH TO… 2014 Many thanks to all who so generously gave donations for those in need. The final counts are in and we were able to give away approximately 230 bags of groceries, 25 bags of schools supplies, 30 bags of diapers and much more! We fed over 75 people lunch and the people were so grateful. A BIG THANKS also to all our volunteers who arrived before the crack of dawn and braved the cold, cold weather to serve! We couldn’t have done it without you!! We had such positive feedback we are hoping to make this an annual event. Keep an eye out for stories, pictures and articles to come in the Julie Jewels! God bless you all! Several years ago Fr. Mike offered a series entitled “A Catholic Approach to Scripture, Sacraments and Spirituality, and Morality”. He will be offering them again. The purpose of the three-part series is to highlight the uniquely Catholic approach to these three areas. Many Catholics approach these areas of Christianity with points of view they have picked up from the more Protestant atmosphere of the U.S. The goal is not to enter into polemics but to clarify differences. Obviously, this will be the most superficial of studies so that another goal is to offer resources for continued study. Because this will be a cursory look, it makes no claim to be the only way to look at these areas with Catholic eyes. The sessions will be offered in the “St. Stephen Hall” of the Fenmont from 7:00 to 8:30 on the following days: • A Catholic Approach to Scripture Thursday, Oct. 23 • A Catholic Approach to Sacraments and Spirituality Thursday, Oct. 30 • A Catholic Approach to Morality Thursday, Nov. 13 Virtual Pilgrimage of Lourdes, France St. Julie Billiart 224 Dayton Street, Hamilton North American Lourdes Volunteers will present a 90-minute prayerful VIRTUAL PILGRIMAGE to Lour des, Fr ance, at St. J ulie Billiar t Par ish on Sunday, October 26th at 6:30 PM. Dur ing this guided Lour des exper ience, you will immerse yourself in the Message of Lourdes as given by Our Lady to St. Bernadette. You will have the opportunity to touch the Grotto Rock and to experience the liquid grace of Lourdes Water. As part of this spiritual opportunity to draw nearer to God with Our Lady and St. Bernadette, you will receive a Eucharistic blessing and pray the Rosary. Come and experience the healing grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ through His Immaculate Mother. The next best thing to visiting Lourdes is a Virtual Pilgrimage journey without the travel! GET YOUR ST.

COMITÉ REGIONAL Dentro de los próximos tres años habrá un solo párroco para las tres parroquias: Santa Julia de Billiart, San Pedro en Cadenas, y San José. Eso es debido a los pocos sacerdotes que se ordenan estos días. Este cambio está ocurriendo no solamente en Hamilton, ni solamente en la Arquidiócesis de Cincinnati, sino en todo el país. Sin duda habrá cambios para todos. Podría ser en la frecuencia de las Misas dominicales. Podría ser en el tiempo que el nuevo párroco tendrá disponibles para los feligreses de cada parroquia. Podría ser en las finanzas. En este momento no se sabe nada con certeza. Para preparar para ese día se está formando un comité de representantes de las tres parroquias. Es importante que haya un representante de la Comunidad Hispana. Se busca una persona que: • Esté cómoda participando en reuniones en inglés • Tenga tiempo disponible en la tarde (generalmente a las 7pm) • Pueda dedicar tiempo para escuchar las inquietudes de la Comunidad Hispana y darle a conocer el trabajo del comité. • Esté dispuesto a leer unos pocos documentos. Se espera que el comité se reunirá no más que una vez al mes por los próximos tres años. Si le gustaría formar parte del comité o si tiene preguntas acerca de ello, hable con el P. Mike. Muchas Gracias. October 12, 2014 RETIRO PREMATRIMONIAL Y DE PAREJAS Fecha: 22 de Noviembre de 8:30am-5:00pm Dirección: Igl. Sta. Susanna, 616 Reading Rd, Mason OH Información: P. Samuel González Tel.
