In
today’s Gospel passage, from Luke, we find our Lord appointing
disciples to go out and prepare others to receive His invitation into
the Kingdom of God. Every verse has something to say about the
way a Christian steward should approach others. Let’s consider
at least one of the coaching tips Christ gives.
“The Lord appointed seventy-two others whom He sent out ahead of Him
in pairs to every town and place He intended to visit.” In His
wisdom, Christ sent His disciples out not as individuals but in pairs,
as teams. This approach to evangelization certainly provided
practical advantages. The disciples could lean on each other
for mutual support and encouragement, helping each other to stay on
task and to put their heads together to pray and problem-solve.
This teamwork approach is just as relevant to us modern-day Christian
stewards. It takes courage and commitment to go out and invite
others into the Christian life. We need to work together to do
it well.
But there is also symbolic importance to working in teams. It
points to the reality that when we invite others to embrace the Good
News of the Gospel, we are not merely inviting them into a belief
system, but into a relationship with Christ and through that
relationship, into Christ’s family — our fellow Christian disciples
near and far.
Our parish is our immediate spiritual family in this extended
worldwide fold. We are not meant to live as isolated
individuals within the parish any more than we are meant to live in
isolation within our families. We are meant to be a community.
That is why it is so important for us to foster a vibrant,
supportive, welcoming parish life. This is why we emphasize
hospitality as one of the pillars of stewardship. It is not
enough just to point others to Christ; we must invite them to join us
in community with Him; we must offer a place and mission for them in
the Church and within our parish family.

We
are so grateful for the tremendous support that you gave last weekend
during our coffee seeking event to support illicit trafficking and
prevention of drug abuse and suicide in our youth.
We
still have approximately 60 bags of coffee that we have exchanged for
ground that we need to sell. You can email to order this week
at satgcwl@gmail.com and we will
also have coffee available at all masses on Sunday. Thank you
again for your tremendous support and positive feedback.

BAPTISM VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Our
clergy could use some assistance with baptisms that take place on
Saturday mornings at 10:00am at St. Albert the Great. We've
increased our number of families booked for each celebration (up to 8
families per baptism), and as a result, it would be helpful to have
volunteers that would be willing to help setup for the baptism, check
families in when they arrive, and assist the priest or deacon as
required.
We
typically host 3 baptisms per month and we are looking into having a
small, rotating team of volunteers.
No
experience required! Whether it is a ministry in which you were
involved before or it's something new you would like to check out,
contact Dan D'Agostino for more information:

Being Disciples. Jesus tells the chosen 72

this forward by stressing what is important for those who follow
Jesus (boasting in the Cross of Christ).

Jubilee Year & Official Logo
The Vatican reveals the official Logo of the upcoming Jubilee Year
due to be held in 2025 on the theme 'Pilgrims of Hope' and
reflects on some of the Holy Year's early initiatives and plans.
The image shows how the pilgrim's journey is not
individual, but rather communal, with the signs of a growing
dynamism that moves more and more toward the Cross.

Elizabeth of Portugal (Feast Day July 4)

Elizabeth of Hungary was her great-aunt, and baby Elizabeth was
named after her. Her father was King Pedro III of Aragon,
and his wife’s name was Constantia. Queen Elizabeth's patient
efforts to bring peace to her home and her kingdom make her a beautiful intercessor for our day.
