Saint Bonaventure—Feast Day July 15 St. Bonaventure was born at Bagnoregio, in the Lazio region of central Italy, in 1221. He received the name of Bonaventure in consequence of an exclamation of St. Francis of Assisi, when, in response to the pleading of the child's mother, the saint prayed for John's recovery from a dangerous illness, and, foreseeing the future greatness of the little John, cried out "O Buona ventura -O good fortune!” At the age of twenty-two St. Bonaventure entered the Franciscan Order. Having made his vows, he was sent to Paris to complete his studies and became the intimate friend of the great St. Thomas Aquinas. He received the degree of Doctor, together with St. Thomas Aquinas, and also enjoyed the friendship of the holy King, St. Louis. He steered the Franciscans on a moderate and intellectual course that made them the most prominent order in the Catholic Church until the coming of the Jesuits. His theology was marked by an attempt completely to integrate faith and reason. He thought of Christ as the "one true master" who offers humans knowledge that begins in faith, is developed through rational understanding, and is perfected by mystical union with God. Like others in the Scholastic period, he viewed theology and philosophy as intertwined, and that the sciences are “the handmaids of theology”. He believed that, above all, we should be people of prayer, no matter our circumstances or fortunes. All are welcome to a Sensory Friendly Mass! A Sensory Friendly Mass is designed for all families with children or adults diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or sensory sensitivities. This is a regular Sunday Mass, with a flexible environment. July 24, 2022 3:00pm St. James Church 94 Broad Street Red Bank, NJ 07701 Please RSVP to: NorMonHIS@gmail.com
Saint of the Week: Teresa Benedicta of the Holy Cross, Virgin and Martyr, 1891-1941 Born into the family of a Jewish merchant in Breslau, Germany, in the fall of 1891, Edith Stein was the youngest of eleven children. Losing her father when she was two years old, Edith developed a strong love for her mother who kept the family, with seven surviving children, together at the same time she was continuing to run the family business. While she admired her mother’s strong faith, by the time she was a teenager, Edith was an avowed atheist. A precocious child, Edith was an excellent student. She entered University of Breslau in 1911 to study, initially, psychology. Read more HERE.

Quo vadis… My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate The Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our reflection on this Sunday’s gospel isn’t really setting up an opposition between keeping the law and doing good for others. Probably in our society and Church today we need to become more aware of the value of keeping laws. Our reflection does alert us to the fact that keeping laws alone isn’t enough. All our actions are directed to the good of others and the furthering of God’s kingdom. Keeping laws promotes good order in any community; doing good for others promotes right relationships in those same communities. Law is something external to us, rather easily measured. Mercy and compassion are internal to us and can be measured only in terms of the good we actually do for others. Laws are internalized when they are kept for the sake of others. We are to do as the Samaritan in the parable: let the law of mercy and compassion gain for us eternal life.
ness has proclaimed a worldwide celebration of grandparents. It is a time to reflect on the wisdom and lived experience of older members of the church and society. We are preparing an opportunity for Grandparents to join with their Grandchildren for mass in our parish church followed by a reception and intergenerational opportunity in Madonna Hall. We invite them to gather for mass at 10:00am. Please consult this e-bulletin for more details. Reservation is required for the reception/ intergenerational presentation and there is limited space.
Welcome back Father Mike Walsh. It is good to have you back safe and sound after your trip to Ireland visiting with family and friends.

It enables us to become more familiar with the parishes we are being called This weekend we will welcome those families to serve.
