MASS SCHEDULE & INTENTIONS
MY BELOVED FLOCK
Mustard Seeds
Hands reaching deep pockets
Fists grasping flower’s fruits
*Perhaps hand opening
Seedlings falling windswept land.
Tiny pebbles parachuting
Falling onto fertile soil unearthed
Covered, watered, sundrenched furrows
Dormant season’s sleeping spent.
Breaking, bursting, pushing upward
Piercing earth’s created mantle
Climbing blade’s lofty grandeur
Piercing heaven’s space anew.
Dawning green arisen splendor
Stalks sturdy, vines unbent
Ears, sheaves, clumps unending
Branches holding fruitful birth.
Mustard seeds scattered venture
Tiny whispers sky-birds cry
Ripening husk-shells bursting
Resurrecting what once thought dead.
In Christ,
Fr. Frank

DIVINE WORD MISSIONARY
Fr. Nhan Van Tran, SVD of the Divine Word Missionaries
will be with us on July 11 & 12, 2015 to celebrate Mass and
speak about the missionary work they do around the
world. The Divine Word Missionaries are an international Religious Community of 6,100 missionary Priests and
Brothers who serve in 70 countries. Fr. Nhan is originally
from Vietnam. He has served as a missionary in Argentina, South America for nine years. He also has served in
the inner city of Memphis, Tennessee, and he currently
teaches and helps to form future missionary Brothers and
Priests at Divine Word College Seminary in Epworth,
Iowa. This Mission Appeal is part of the Mission Coop
Program of our
Diocese. This work is in some of the most difficult areas
of the world.
ARCHBISHOPS APPEAL
Though our Church is a multiplicity of peoples and cultures, it is our common faith that unites us as a People of
God. United in spirit, let us Build up the Kingdom of
God through our donations to the Archbishop’s Catholic
Appeal which, in turn, will enable our wider Church to
evangelize the faith more fruitfully. Thank you for your
generosity.
CONGRATULATIONS
To all of our youth who received the Sacrament of
Confirmation: May the Holy Spirit strengthen their
faith, hope and love in the Lord Jesus Christ and may the
Holy Spirit guide them in all their paths. Please continue
to pray for all our youth. May the fire of their baptismal
faith and the power of the Holy Spirit enkindle in them
a profound love so great that they may always bear witness to the truth and practice
of the Catholic religion throughout their
lives.
To all of our High School Graduates! There will
be a special blessing of all our youth at all the masses this weekend who have graduated from high
school this year. May the Lord bless
you and keep you always!
Fr. Frank and Fr. David
PICTURES FOR CONFIRMANI
Pictures of each Confirmandi can be picked up in the
Church office. This is the Church’s gift to each of you so
you can remember this special time in your life!!!

THANK YOU
My beloved Flock,
A very heartfelt “Thank You” to everyone who helped out in celebrating the sacrament of Confirmation to our parish youth last
weekend! Your charity is truly a reflection of the Gospel of
Christ Jesus. Please continue to pray for all of our youth as we
continue to transition during the next few years as the reordering
of the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy
Eucharist) takes place. Special thanks to Very Reverend Randy
Dollins, V.G. who celebrated the Confirmation masses, Father
David and Deacon Rich Wilson, as well as our sacristans, altar
servers, choir, ushers, ladies of the Altar and Rosary Society and
our Knights of Columbus. Please know that all of you are in my
sincerest prayers of thanksgiving to Our Lord and our Blessed
Mother for all that you have done. We also especially thank our
catechists, teachers and volunteers and our parents and godparents who teach our children the love of Christ. Parents and godparents must remain credible witnesses to their children by receiving the sacrament of reconciliation often and attending Mass
and Holy Days of Obligation as families in Christ. God bless you
all!
It has come to my attention that solicitations for donations from
businesses in the Fort Morgan community have been made on
behalf of the parish without my being notified beforehand for
approval. In the future, if a responsible of any parish organization
wishes to request donations from area businesses, please contact
the parish office and speak to me personally first. You must obtain the pastor’s approval and obtain an official letter before asking for a donation. Thank you for your cooperation and may God
bless you.
In Christ, Fr. Frank

UNDECIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Es bueno dar gracias al Señor( Salmo 9:2-3)
Mi querido rebaño:
Habéis aprendido cómo el reino de los
cielos, con toda su grandeza, se compara a un grano
de mostaza. Si la debilidad de Dios es más fuerte que el hombre, y si la locura de Dios es más sabia que el hombre,
esta pequeña cosa que es propiedad de Dios, es más
espléndida que toda la inmensidad del mundo.
Nosotros solamente podemos sembrar en nuestro
corazón esta semilla de mostaza, de modo que llegue
a ser un gran árbol del conocimiento, sobrepasando su
altura para elevar nuestro pensamiento hasta el cielo,
y desplegando todas las ramas de la inteligencia.
Cristo es el reino. Como una semilla de mostaza, ha
sido sembrado en un jardín , el cuerpo de la vírgen.
Creció y llegó a ser el árbol de la Cruz que cubre la
tierra entera.
