June 12, 2016 - Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Greetings and prayers dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Welcome to our celebration of the Eleventh Sunday
in Ordinary Time.
Our students have finished their school year by now. Let us keep our them in our prayers for a safe, fun and
learned summer. Let us help them use their time wisely. Parents and baby sitters, keep the young in the Bible,
prayer and other spiritual meditations in their ‘day to day’ activities. It is the base and source of their
relationship with Christ and the Church and their success when they reach their young adult years and beyond.
Father’s Day, June 19, is next weekend. Young ones, start making your cards now to honor dad on his special
day. Also next weekend, after all the Masses, there will be a Renewal of Marriage Vows. See nearby space
for details.
From prior weeks, most have read in these pages that Bishop Lynch has reached the mandatory age of
retirement, which for bishops is age 75. Last year he blogged his reflections on the transition, known as an
Episcopal Transition meaning the selection of a new Bishop. The Diocese has republished the communication
and over the next weeks we, too, will republish them for you.
First, from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, an excerpt from “How Bishops Are
Appointed.”
“The ultimate decision in appointing bishops rests with the pope, and he is free to select anyone he
chooses. But how does he know whom to select? The process for selecting candidates for the
episcopacy normally begins at the diocesan level and works its way through a series of consultations
until it reaches Rome. It is a process bound by strict confidentiality and involves a number of important
players – the most influential being the apostolic nuncio [*], the Congregation for Bishops, and the
pope. It can be a time consuming process, often taking eight months or more to
complete…” [*Apostolic nuncio meaning the Pope’s representative of a given nation.]
Now the start of “Bishop Lynch Shares His Thoughts Regarding the Episcopal Transition”
“YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW - I would like to share with you an outline of the process
which will be used in selecting a new bishop for this wonderful local church we call ‘The Diocese of St.
Petersburg.’ On May 27, 2016, my seventy-fifth birthday, I will forward a letter to the
Holy Father asking to retire as bishop of St. Petersburg after having reached the
mandatory ‘age limit’ for bishops. I can also submit it earlier than that if there is a good
reason, such as my health, energy, and/or the needs of the diocese being greater than my
ability to meet them. That letter is sent to the Holy Father’s representative in the United
States, our Apostolic Nuncio. He forwards the letter to the Congregation of Bishops in
Rome who will then decide how it is to be handled: (a) it can be accepted immediately
but I will be told to remain in office until my successor is installed; (b) it can be
accepted immediately but an Apostolic Administrator (another bishop of another
diocese) can be appointed to administer the diocese until a successor is chosen; (c) it can
be accepted immediately but the College of Consultors of the Diocese (seven pastors)
can be asked to choose an Administrator who would then serve with slightly restricted powers until a
successor is installed. Regardless, a long and thorough process of consultation will begin led by the Apostolic
Nuncio in Washington. …”
To be continued in upcoming weeks.
Wishing you a blessed week filled with God, His Love and Mercy.
~ Father Paul

Renew Your Wedding Vows - next weekend
A communal renewal of wedding vows can be very
meaningful and touching for the couples, their family
members and the Parish family and friends. As a married couple it gives you time to
pause and reflect on where you have been and where you are going. It would be a
wonderful example for your children and grand children, especially if they are present
for the occasion.
Try to bring your family and friends for the Mass you plan to attend for the Father's Day weekend. The
vows will be renewed at all the weekend Masses. Please prepare for it by reflecting on it as individually and
together as a couple. Let not your love wither or die. Give a chance for the your love to ripen.

Bloom Where You’re Planted
Joseph was his father’s favorite child. He talked about
having dreams in which his family bowed down to him.
This made him so unpopular that his brothers sold him to
merchants headed for Egypt. They convinced their father
that a wild animal had killed him.
Joseph was sold to Potiphar, an Egyptian official, who
was impressed by Joseph’s intelligence and put him in
charge of his household. However, when Joseph spurred
the romantic advances of Mrs. Potiphar, she falsely
accused him of rape and he was imprisoned. In spite of
this, he bloomed again. His gift for interpreting dreams
reached the king of Egypt, who was plagued by dreams
he couldn’t understand.
Joseph found the meaning of Pharaoh’s dreams: Egypt
was going to have seven years of prosperity followed by
seven years of famine. The dreams were a warning to
store food to survive the famine. Pharaoh made Joseph
second-in-command over Egypt and responsible for
instituting a program that saved Egypt when the food
shortage hit.
Joseph’s brothers came to buy food. They bowed down to
him, not realizing he was their brother. Joseph didn’t take
vengeance on them, saying “Even though you meant
harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve his present
end, the survival of many people.” Joseph may not have
known what God had in store for him, but he had a sense
that something bigger was at work. That’s what allowed
him to bloom where he was planted, over and over again,
in the least hospitable conditions imaginable.

Are we overlooking one of our treasures?
• One of the ministries of our Parish is our Early Childhood
Center (ECC)
• One of the treasures of our Parish is our Early Childhood
Center (ECC)
• The ECC is our opportunity to carry out God’s command
to let the children come to Him as it is a Catholic
centered experience for our children and those of our
neighbors
• We need to take the time to mention it to those
neighbors that have children and to consider it for our
own children and grandchildren who could benefit from
such a wonderful experience
