Holy Name Bulletin
4th of July
This year, the 4th of July falls on the first
Friday of the month. We usually offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 8:00 am—5:00 p.m. on First Fridays, but since many people will be busy with July 4th activities, we have decided to offer a different schedule on that day as follows:
6:30 — 7:45 a.m. Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament, Mother’s Chapel
8:00 a.m. Mass
8:45 – 9:45 a.m. Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament, Mother’s Chapel
Please note that the Parish office will be closed that day as well. Have a happy 4th of July weekend! Do You Love Working in the Garden?
If so and you have a few hours a month to spare, consider helping with the maintenance of Holy Name’s flower beds. It can be done on your own time, whenever you can come. Call JoAnn Baker-Paul for more information, 879-5752. Thanks to JoAnn for working on the beds, and trying to keep them weed-free! (Teens welcome!)
Marriage Blessings
Marriage
Blessings, congratulations and best wishes for many happy years to Christopher Keeble and Emily Lehmann, who were married at Holy Name on Saturday, June 21.
Are You Hearing Impared?
Assistive hearing devices are now available at Holy Name for those parishioners or visitors who are hearing impaired. If you would like to use one of these devices during Mass, please see an usher before Mass begins. Then, please return the device to one of the ushers after Mass. Men’s Retreat Opportunity
The Men's Prayer Group of Holy Name Church has organized a men's retreat for our two parishes. It will be Friday night, October 17 to Sunday noon, October 19 at the Focus Ranch near Slater on the CO/WY border. Fr. Tom will be the retreat master and Fr. Ernest will assist. If you are interested, please pick up a flier in the back of the church with the details. Early registration with a $75 deposit is requested. For more information call Deacon John, 879-5962 or Carl Houck, 879-1001. Please contact George Detwiler at 276-7299 or geodet@yahoo.com to register. Attention Business Owners and Professionals

We would like to thank our present advertisers for renewing their ad and thereby continuing their support of our parishes. To obtain information about
advertising for the new publication year, please contact the parish office or call John directly at 800-950-9952 ext. 2609. Keep in mind: our advertising sponsors make your bulletin possible. Mass in the Mountains
Save the date! Our annual “Mass in the Mountains” will take place this year on Sunday, July 27 at 11:00 a.m. at Stagecoach Lake State Park and you won’t want to miss it! We’ll begin with Mass at 11:00 a.m. The barbecue picnic will follow, beginning 1:00 p.m. and then there will be time for tons of fun family games including bean bag toss, horseshoes and volleyball. Also planned is a crawdad
catching contest, fishing and casting contests and a parent-child
water balloon catching contest (complete with prizes, of course!) as well as marsh tours. Pontoon boats will be available for rides on the lake between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. for 30 minute intervals. Everyone from both parishes is invited and encouraged to come and enjoy a beautiful outdoor Mass and all the fun and games, thanks to Tony Stich, who is organizing this great event.
Hamburgers, hot dogs and buns, condiments and paper products will be provided. Please bring a salad, or dessert and chips to share, as well as beverages for your family. Some chairs will be available; if you have folding camp chairs bring them along.
Portable gas-grills may be needed to expedite the cooking! Please call Tony at 736-1110 if you would like to help with planning, have a grill you are able to bring or for more information. There will not be a 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Martin’s that day. The Mass
schedule at Holy Name will remain the same. Flower Planters
Thanks so much to Joe Coffman and another parishioner who wishes to remain anonymous, for “adopting” the flower planters which flank the large signs outside the Holy Name Church and
office entrances. We know that once summer actually gets here, (it will, have faith!) the flowers bring joy and beauty to the Church grounds. And...thanks to Joanne Baker-Paul for watering and caring for the planters and the flower beds around the Church! Adult Catholic Inquiry Get-Together
Members of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) team invite anyone who might be interested in exploring the Catholic faith to an informal social gathering at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24 at the home of Deacon John and Diane Franklin, 431 Pine St. Please call Diane or Deacon John, 879-5962 for more information or to let them know you’d like to come. Peter’s Pence
Each year, the annual Peter’s Pence Collection in support of the works of the Holy Father is held in parishes throughout the world. The proceeds fund emergency relief assistance to those who suffer from war, oppression, disease and natural disasters. Through works of charity, Catholics stand in solidarity with the weak, the defenseless and the voiceless and sustain those who suffer.
Donation envelopes are available at the Church entrance if you’d like to contribute to this collection.
Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat
Are you or someone you know suffering from the past decision of an abortion and the many after effects of this decision?

You will encounter the healing presence and love of Jesus Christ at this retreat on July 18-20, which is being held in Denver. Call Edith, 303-410-1710 or Lori, 303-904-7414 to register.

Holy Name Family…On a Pilgrimage of Faith
Capital Campaign
USING GOD’S GIFTS
How are we using the gifts God has put in our hands? There is an old legend from centuries ago concerning Chinese peasants who had a bumper crop of potatoes. They kept the largest to eat and saved the smallest for the following year’s crop. For several seasons, they kept at this and eventually ended up with potatoes the size of marbles. They had kept the best for themselves. They should have been planting some of the large ones or maybe even given them away.
God has entrusted us with many gifts. It is our
responsibility to “hold in trust” and to use the talents and possessions which God has lent us. He holds us accountable for careful management of all we have. Those things are to be used according to the divine Owner’s designs and plans.
A miser sees possessions as something to fondle and caress. He looks at them, but does not use them. But God
intended possessions to be used. He wants them to be used for the physical, spiritual, educational, social and recreational needs of people. Possibly, the biggest problem we face is how to divide the spending of “our” money between the spiritual and material aspects of life. No matter how small our income, our task is to divide it properly.
God works through people. He has made adequate provision for financing His work in the Church by putting money in our pockets through our wages and income.
God’s gifts are not ours to spend for our own
gratification and personal ambition. To live for selfish interests is to deny God’s plan for us. Wise management of God’s
resources means a faithful division of our income between our spiritual and material needs.
Sharing a percentage of our income is an expression of our partnership with God.
