WEEKLY MEDITATION

Who are we, you and I? Are we "know it alls" or do we remain open to Jesus' call to us every day? Are we humble enough to know we are sinners, always in need of Jesus' help in our daily lives, always in need of Jesus to overcome the ways of the world?  Are we humble enough to recognize when we have sinned, humble enough to ask the Father's forgiveness?  This is the challenge that faces us everyday. This is the reason for each of us to set aside some quiet time each day to review what we have done with our day - not the things that make us look good in the eyes of the world, but rather those things often unnoticed by the sinful world that we recognize as sinful. Some of the sinfulness that is known only to us, because it is sinful thoughts or kindness we have failed to do to or for others, sins that go unrecognized because "everyone is doing it".
We need to be "little ones" those dependent upon Jesus, those who recognize their unworthiness and sinfulness. Then in recognizing our true humble selves we can approach the altar and receive in the Eucharist the true body and blood of Jesus - then we are fully prepared to face the world and all of its challenges because we are then truly - "yoked to Jesus".


MARRIAGE BANNS: Edward Lyons & Mary Sabbia (2&3)



THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE

90th ANNIVERSARY INVITATIONS have been mailed to all parishioners and friends. Please respond as to whether or not you will be attending. We invite everyone to join the celebration! If you have not received an invitation, please let us know by calling the rectory.

RECOMMENDED READING Recently a very interesting and worthwhile book was published under the title "Goodbye Dear Old Homeland!". The book tells the story of a young family that fled Croatia after the second world war. It recalls their journey through Europe and eventual arrival in America. Perhaps some of you will identify with this life story. I recommend this interesting book and encourage you to read it.

MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARIES During our 90th anniversary year we wish to acknowledge all of the couples in our parish who are celebrating special anniversaries (5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, etc.). Please reserve Sunday, August 25 for a special mass at 9:30 A.M. when all special anniversary couples will renew their marriage vows. Please call the rectory if you plan to attend.

PREPARATION FOR VELIKA GOSPA FEAST has begun. We are in need of people to help make the occasion a success. Anyone who is willing to help should contact the rectory. Although it is usually a workday for many, it is important to remember our tradition of honoring Mary on the day of her Assumption. Please plan to attend and show our unity and devotion as we celebrate mass, participate in the procession, and enjoy the festivities of the day. You will receive the annual letter regarding the details for this feast sometime in July.

HOLY HOUR Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is held every Thursday from 7 - 9 P.M. in our church. Everyone is welcome to take advantage of this sacred time of spiritual intimacy with Our Lord. Come, visit Him!

OUR 90TH ANNIVERSARY. . .RECALLING OUR PAST
During Fr. Zvonko Mandurich's pastorate, he was faced with the deterioration of the school and hall. During his years, 1958-60, he saved money to tackle his problem. Permission was granted by Cardinal Meyer in 1960 to build a new school. The old buildings were raised and the new school and hall were dedicated on September 24, 1961.
