St. Elizabeth Catholic Church
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 7, 2024
FATHER JIM'S JOTS
Greetings!!
I am at a wedding in Boston this weekend, so I thank Msgr. Tom Miller for celebrating Sunday Masses. I will be returning this week and will be here for Friday Mass at noon. This Wednesday, Deacon Chris Barrett will be leading a Communion Service at noon in place of Mass.
I am inviting all parishioners to a Parish Town Hall meeting on Sunday, July 14th. After both Masses, Finance Council, Parish Council and the Building Committee will meet with all St. Elizabeth parishioners regarding prospective plans for a new Parish Center. Please be prepared to briefly stay after Mass for this meeting. We will have coffee and doughnuts afterwards in the Parish Hall.
If you would like to attend the Eucharistic Congress at St. Anthony's Maronite Catholic Church on July 20th in the Innsbrook area of the West End please see the QR code in this bulletin or the link in our E-Bulletin. The cost to attend is $20 and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our own Sr. Tiberh Hagos will be one of the keynote speakers. You must register before July 12th.
Another Prayer for Independence Day:
Loving God, as we come together to commemorate this Independence Day, we lift up a prayer for unity. In a world often divided, help us remember that we are all part of your creation. May our differences be a source of strength and may our unity be a reflection of your love. Guide us to stand together in harmony, honoring the principles that make our nation great. In Jesus' name, Amen.
As we get further into summer, please consider getting involved with our Jazz and Food Festival!! Starting this Sunday, the raffle tickets are on sale! The sales of the raffle tickets help cover the different costs of the festival. If you are interested in helping sell the raffle tickets after Mass or taking a few books with you, please let Eva Wiznerowicz (evabalkarli@stelizcc.org) know and she will give you all the info you need. To learn more ways that you can help with the Jazz Festival please see the section in the bulletin.
Blessings to you and yours,
Fr. Jim Arsenault
