RITE OF ANOINTING - GRATITUDE
Prayerful gratitude is expressed, first, to our provident God for the multiple
graces of healing received by those in attendance for this past Wednesday
evening Mass and Sacrament of Anointing. Appreciation is extended also to those
who were involved in the preparation of this rewarding and enriching spiritual
experience as well as those who satisfied the varied roles of Ministry required
for this annual event of administering the Communal Rite of Anointing. Your
parish priests will administer the Sacrament of the Sick this week to the
homebound. Any parishioner wishing the graces of this Sacrament and not on the
regular monthly visitation list should phone the rectory (472-7244) to share
your wish for a visit from a priest.
2010 FESTIVAL SUCCESS
Below is printed the financial summary of the parish’s recent Annual Festival.
What joy and satisfaction should be experienced by any parishioner who
contributed in stewardship of time, talent and treasure to this most successful
event!!! Gratitude is expressed to the committed groups and numerous volunteers
who so well planned and orchestrated this attractive three-day Parish Festival.
Special thanks to the members of the Executive Committee as well as the
dedicated and hard working chairpersons of the various concessions. May the
Chairpersons take justifiable satisfaction and pride in their accomplishments
for the enhancement of Holy Name Parish. Our prayerful gratitude will remain
forever!!!
FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION AUGUST 6TH
The three Apostles Peter, James and John were chosen to behold a ray of Christ=s
glory. We need never forget that they, at a later date, were to witness His
utter humiliation on the hill of Calvary. Friends of the Lord never fully know
the way that God leads them. But if true friends, we must surrender ourselves
completely into His hands. We need to give the Lord control over our lives. It
is a blessing for us to know Jesus as it was for His disciples. Christ needs to
hear from us that we experience joy because He is an integral part of our lives.
There are days too when His power is hidden from our sight, when we feel lonely
and stumble in spiritual darkness. As Jesus laid His hands on the disciples and
said, “Get up! Do not be afraid,@ he also shares with us the same encouragement
to recall moments in our lives of spiritual intimacy so that we may journey
through life with confidence being led to the joy of the Eternal
Transfiguration.
2011 FESTIVAL
The plans are well underway and are truly exciting! Everyone will be surprised.
Adding two major attractions to the 50th year anniversary for both the church
and Msgr. Gaus will make the 2011 Festival a really special weekend next June 3,
4, and 5. The attractions will be rolled out at the time of the 100th
Anniversary of Holy Name School, so you need only wait until then, but in the
meantime two clues: everyone has one and who would have ever thought??? Can you
guess…doubtful because this is something very different. Keep watching the
bulletin.
ATTENTION HOLY NAME ALUMNI
In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Holy Name School, the Parish Pastoral
Council would like to enlist the help of former Holy Name School Alumni in
briefly answering the following question: How has Catholic education enriched
your life spiritually? Your answer could be used in materials commemorating the
100th Anniversary celebration. Please include your name and class year with your
response and return to the school, rectory, or place in the collection basket in
an envelope labeled 100th Anniversary.

ELEMENTARY CCD TEACHERS: THE PARISH NEEDS YOU
More volunteers are needed in a variety of services for the Fall Religious
Education program. Besides the traditional role of catechist, we are looking for
teaching-teams, classroom aides (ideal for newly confirmed seniors or volunteer
moms/dads), CCD assistants to give one-on-one attention to students as needed,
professional teachers willing to mentor new teacher-volunteers at their
convenience, even hall monitors to assist with snacks or an occasional sick
student or to make phone calls, etc. Those willing to be a substitute CCD
teacher periodically are always welcome and much appreciated! If you see
yourself being able to contribute to the Fall program in any of these creative
ways, please contact Mary Harvey (Elementary Program) by calling the rectory
office at 472-7244. The parish needs you!
JR/SR. HIGH CCD NEWS - TEACHERS NEEDED
We hope everyone is enjoying their Summer!! We would like to take this
opportunity that anyone who would like to volunteer their time and talent to
help teach this upcoming year, it would be greatly appreciated. We need a number
of teachers for grades 7th - 11th Sunday morning from 10 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. You
don't need to know everything about the catholic faith. We are here to help you.
Please consider this important ministry of giving your time to the youth of our
parish and passing your faith onto them. Call Nancy or Kerry McCulley at
241-7809 for more information
CATHOLIC UPDATE: Guide to the New Translation of the Roman Missal
Please read this month’s Catholic Update, found on the magazine racks. This is a
concise summary of the coming Mass changes that will affect the people’s
responses. Although these changes will not occur until Advent of 2011, it is
good to familiarize ourselves with the new wording now so we can maintain a
prayerful composure, even though we will need to rely on the Missalette for
awhile. Music will also be affected, since there will be some new wording in the
Gloria, Acclamations of Faith and the Holy, Holy, Holy. Keep this Catholic
Update handy for future reference, or to answer questions that family or friends
may ask.
ADULT SCRIPTURE CLASSES

PARISH LENDING LIBRARY
The Church Library is located in the Narthex, opposite the Cry Room. The door is
always open. Use the “sign out” book to list items being taken home. CD’s, DVD’s
and books available.
STEWARDSHIP OF TALENT
As part of their total stewardship, Christians are concerned about the
dedication of their talents. They regard personal abilities to work and to lead
as another evidence of God’s loving care. In a spirit of consecration, they
desire to have those talents utilized in business, in the home, in church, in
such a manner that they will make a contribution to the Kingdom of God on earth.
These priorities are important to them, including during the summer months.
