POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION:
We pray that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the sick confer to those who receive it and their loved ones that power of the Lord and become ever more a visible sign of compassion and
hope for all
SUMMER MASS CHANGE:
Beginning on Sunday, July 7th, the Cathedral Parish is changing their
Sunday evening Mass from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. There are two reasons for doing so: 1) To provide a viable option for those who have to work on Saturday and Sunday, and 2) To provide for those who may be returning to town at the conclusion of the weekend. This is
a two-month trial period, July and August. We appreciate any feedback that you may have during the length of this trial period.
CATHOLIC WOMEN’S LEAGUE BOOK SALE:
Saturday July 6th 10:00 am-6:00 pm. At Holy Redeemer Parish parking lot.
COMMUNAL PRAYER:
Will be on Thursday evenings at the Cathedral from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. It is an opportunity for us to come together, as people of faith, to intercede for the world and the Church.
HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE:
Holy Redeemer is forming a Hospitality Committee made up of a dedicated group of individuals who are passionate about creating a warm and welcoming environment for all parishioners and visitors. This committee looks at the overall welcome a person receives when
coming to our parish, the physical and social atmosphere in the church, new registration, and communication to parishioners. The hospitality committee will look at providing meaningful opportunities for parishioners to become better acquainted and ways to build a
culture of hospitality wherein each person plays a role. Their goal is to promote a fuller participation in ministry so that each person’s gifts, experience and contribution is welcomed and they are
able to say. “I am valued, I feel apart of this parish, and I belong.” If you want to help us get there, please contact the parish office at 709 634-5161. When the Hospitality Committee is in place, one of
the members will reach out to you.
CALLING ALL SINGERS AND MUSICIANS!
Were you ever in a school choir? Maybe you can read music? Can
you make weekly commitment to sing for Sunday Mass? If so, why not consider becoming a choir member and sharing your talent? Can you play a musical instrument? If so, your talents are also needed. If you are interested in music ministry, please contact the parish office at 709 634-5161!
EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT/EUCHARISTIC ADORATION:
Each Friday from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Cathedral. All are welcome to reflect on their week’s work/offering in the context of Christ’s
once-and-for all self-offering made present in the Eucharist. This is a great opportunity to petition the Lord, unload or place yourself and others before the Lord.
FEAST OF ST. ANNE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION:
July 26th is the Feast of St. Anne and the Corner Brook Aboriginal Women’s Association and the Benoit’s Cove Native Women’s Association will take a special role in preparing for and celebrating this feast. This mass will take place at 5:00 pm at Sacred Heart
Parish with Bishop Bart van Roijen as Presider. Both Women’s Association in traditional regalia will provide hymns and songs. Following the Mass there will be a feast at St. Mary’s Church Hall. All are welcome to attend.
FALL LIKE LIGHTNING:
Jesus had sent his twelve Apostles on a trial to prepare them to be missionaries. Later he sent a larger group. It is equally successful. Christ speaks words of encouragement, noting that he “ saw Satan
fall like lightning from the sky.” This is an echo of his words in John, “ Fear not, I have conquered the world.” In other words, we already know the end of our story: WE WIN!

SUMMER PRAYER...
Creator God, we thank you for making this beautiful world and for calling us to be your people. Help us to enjoy these summer days. Let this be a time of refreshment and joy and bring us rest.
Give us your grace to witness, to serve you each day, and to grow in your love. Father, we ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
REFLECTION - DISTURB US, O LORD:
Disturb us O Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves; when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little; when we have arrived safely because we sailed too close to the shore. Stir us, O Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture more seas, where storms shall show your mastery, where losing sight of land we shall find stars. In the name of Him who pushed back the
horizons of hopes and invited the brave to follow Him, Amen.
FOR YOUTH: July 6th is the feast day Saint Maria Goretti. Maria Goretti died at the age of 12 of multiple stab wounds inflicted by her attempted rapist because she refused to submit to him. Before she
died, however, she forgave her attacker. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and remained unrepentant for his crime, until, one night, he dreamt of Maria giving him flowers. He repented his life
of crime, asked Maria’s mother to forgive him after his release from prison and lived out the end of his life working as a laybrother in a monastery. Saint Maria Goretti is one of the Church’s youngest
saints. She is the patron saint of youth and young women, purity and victims of rape.
