In a spirit of good stewardship, the Archdiocese
of Cincinnati has instituted a financial misconduct
hotline to allow employees, volunteers, vendors and
other interested parties to report what they believe
to be financial misconduct at any level—parish,
deanery or Archdiocese. As an additional
safeguard, the hotline is administered by an
independent third-party company, EthicsPoint.
Any individual may report a concern on this hotline
either by calling one of EthicsPoint’s trained
specialists at 1-888-389-0381 or by visiting the
website www.ethicspoint.com. There is also a link
on the Archdiocesan website,
www.CatholicCincinnati.org
under Ministries and Offices.
THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
PARISH OFFICE CLOSED JULY 3rd AND 4th
The parish office will be closed on Monday, July 3 and
Tuesday, July 4, 2017 for the Independence Day holiday.
We resume regular business hours on Wednesday, July 5.
It’s not too soon to sign up for the
upcoming year of Family Faith
Formation classes. These
classes are for our children
attending public schools that need
to receive the Religious Education
of their Catholic faith as defined
by the Archdiocesan curriculum.
The beauty of our program here at
Our Lady of Grace is that the parents attend right along
with their children. It truly is a “family” event. We meet
twice a month in
Founders Hall at Our Lady of Mercy church from 10:30 until noon on Sunday mornings beginning in September. This is also the program where public school children
(and their families) prepare for
any Sacraments they will be receiving in the coming year.
It is important to know how many families to expect in order to procure resources. All are welcome! Invite anyone
who might be interested to at least try out a few sessions.
This can be a powerful
evangelization opportunity.
To register, or for more
information, please call Jan
Reed at the Parish Center
at 274-2107 ext.
101.
“FILL THE TRUCK” THANK YOU
Thank you to all who brought food
items and made monetary donations
for our semi-annual “Fill the Truck”
collection last weekend.
Your generosity is sincerely
appreciated and will help to provide
food to those who visit the Catholic
Social Services Choice Food Food
Pantry /Assumption Food Pantry.
JULY 2, 2017
STAFF UPDATES
As noted in a previous bulletin,
Bob Erli, our facilities manager
has accepted a new job with the
University of Dayton.
Charlie Helldoerfer, our business
manager, is retiring. We thank Charlie for his years of
service and wish him many wonderful years of retirement.
Beginning this month, day-to-day parish operations will be
handled by a team of three—Tink Siwecki (facilities),
Mary Erli (finance) and Wanda Hollinger (office). The
operations team, along with our ministry team, strive to
serve our parishioners in all aspects of parish life. We ask
you, our parishioners, to help be our “eyes and ears” and
call us with any questions, concerns or comments.
RCIA INQUIRY
Do you know someone who is interested in learning more
about the Catholic faith?
Our parish offers an excellent curriculum for
those
wishing to
enter the Church, return
to the Church, or review
the doctrine and teachings of the Roman Catholic faith. Our Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults will begin soon. If you are interested,
please call Jan at the Parish center at
274-2107 ext.
101. Personal invitations can be sent by
the parish
office if you know someone that might benefit from these
classes.
CALLING ALL YOUTH!
Several youth in the parish are
interested in starting a youth group
ministry. If you have an interest in
joining or helping out, or have any
questions, please call Jan at the Parish
Center. This is a project that has been
missing from our region for a while.
Please encourage your kids to try this
out. We are very excited about restarting this program for the young people. They are our
future!

QUARTERLY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Due to the very positive response to our quarterly
Eucharistic Adoration and the number of parishioners
who have been attending, Queen of Martyrs Worship
Commission has approved a suggestion to change
from quarterly Eucharistic Adoration to bi-monthly,
that is, to the first Monday of every other month
instead of every third month. Beginning Monday, July 3, we will be offering Eucharistic Adoration on the
first Mondays of July, September, January, March,
and May. The hours for the time-being will remain
9am - 12 noon. Our annual weekend Adoration will
continue on the second weekend in November.
PATRIOTIC ROSARY
On July 4th, we celebrate our independence as
a nation. In thanksgiving for this great blessing to our
nation, Queen of Martyrs will be offering a Patriotic
Rosary Service on Monday, July 10, from 6:30pmuntil 8pm. As an extension to our celebration, we will
be gathering in McAuley Hall following the Rosary
service for snacks and fellowship. Please plan to join
us. Bring a friend!
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT
UNDERSTANDING: UNDER-STANDING IS
STANDING UNDER GOD'S WILL
"'Have you understood all this?' 'Yes,' they
answered." —Matthew 13:51
Isaiah prophesied: "This is not an understanding people; therefore, their Maker shall not spare
them" (Is 27:11). We must have understanding to be
spared God's wrath. Therefore, "to acquire understanding is more desirable than silver" (Prv 16:16).
Sometimes the Hebrew word for "understanding" is
translated "intelligence" (see Prv 3:5; Dt 4:6), but
understanding refers to supernatural intelligence, not
natural. This same Hebrew word for "understanding" is
translated "prudence" (Dn 1:20). Once again this refers
to a supernatural prudence, for the four young men
were "ten times better than all the magicians and
enchanters in his kingdom" (Dn 1:20). Daniel's
understanding was a special gift of interpreting visions,
dreams (Dn 1:17), and Biblical prophecies (Dn 9:22).
Understanding the revelation of God means understanding the person of God. The Lord says: "I am
Understanding" (Prv 8:14).
Prayer: Lord, may I begin today to understand
the prophetic meaning of the Bible.
Promise: "Those who err in spirit shall acquire
understanding." —Is 29:24
Praise: Matthew supernaturally understood
Isaiah's prophecy of the virgin-birth (Is 7:14; Mt 1:23).
Next week: COUNSEL
Sacrament of Reconciliation at Queen of Martyrs is by appointment. Please call Fr. Joshua at 937-277-2092.
