ANOINTING OF THE CHRONICALLY ILL AND AGED - SACRAMENT OF THE SICK The purpose of the sacrament, from its very origins as found in the Letter of St. James, was not to be a help to those dying, but to those who were sick. It is meant as a way of showing the sick in their sufferings that Christ is with them, uniting their sufferings to his. The union between Christ and the members of the church is emphasized. We all know that there is a connection between the physical and the spiritual aspects of the human person. To give spiritual care when one is sick touches also their physical well-being. How difficult it is to separate the two! This sacrament of the anointing of the sick is an expression of our faith that it is the whole person who is loved by God and redeemed. Who should be anointed? The rubrics are clear: those who are seriously impaired by sickness or old age should receive this sacrament. One should not wait until people are dying to suggest that they receive this sacrament. Nor is it necessary to be scrupulous about who should receive it. A prudent judgement is enough. The church does not want the sacrament to be administered to anyone who asks for it because of a slight headache or something insignificant. The person should be seriously sick, but not necessarily in danger of death. The annual Anointing Service is scheduled for this Wednesday, July 28 during a 7:00 PM Mass. We ask all parishioners burdened with chronic illness and those 65 years and older to reserve that date for the Lord to share His special grace with you through the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. It will be a most satisfying and rewarding evening for those who will be present. The guest homilist this year will be Fr. David Roesch. COOKIES NEEDED FOLLOWING ANOINTING MASS Snacks would be appreciated for the reception in the Narthex following the evening Anointing Mass on Wed, July 28. Cookies, cheese and crackers, vegetable/fruit platters, chips etc can be dropped off in the Church Library that day. Contact Sr. Margie. Thank you! FESTIVAL 2011 Already? Yes, already plans for next year’s Festival are being made and carried out because next year is another significant milestone in the history of Holy Name Church and of your pastor. 2011 will mark the 50th year of the Festival! Several new additions to the Festival are being planned to make the 50th a remarkable event. Keep watching the bulletin for information 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!!
