Mass Etiquette: Things To Do And Not Do While at Mass •
•
•
Don’t chew gum in church. It breaks your fast, it’s distracting, it is consider impolite in a formal setting, and it doesn’t help us pray better. Can you imagine the Pope popping gum in during Mass? Chewing gum does break the Eucharistic fast! Please, please, no gum, food or drink in the Church! Babies’ necessities are accepted. God will provide all that you need at Mass. Do not leave early. We should stay to the end of the recession and the hymn that accompanies it, if there is one. While there are certainly exceptions to this guideline, most who leave early don’t need to and ought not to. Leave quietly. We encourage you to visit with others, but once you are outside of the nave of the church, in our gathering space, so you will not disturb others who want to stay and pray. So, please leave quietly and visit with them afterwards in the Gathering Space. www.aggiecatholicblog.org
Free classroom setting voice lessons! Learn to sing better from the pew at no cost to you! Open to parishioners beginning Thursday August 10th at 7:30 PM! See Lauren Walters for more details or email at music@stmaryscoltsneck.org.
Bell workshops the week of August 13th! Open to anyone who has always wanted to try their hands at ringing and learn more about this beautifully unique ministry…and best of all, they’re right after Mass! See Lauren Walters for more details or email at music@stmaryscoltsneck.org

Dear friends at Saint Mary Parish: On behalf of the guests of Mary's Place by the Sea, thank you for your generous donation of $500.00. With the support of loving individuals like you, we can provide integrative services to women with cancer. Oncology massage, individual counseling, nutrition education, overnight accommodations, nutritious meals, and many other services are provided at no cost to our guests, because of the generosity of our supporters. Since 2009, Mary's Place by the Sea has served nearly 7,000 women nationwide. This year will be a year of growth for Mary's Place. In our new home, we can provide more programs and services than ever before. This year, we will be introducing caregiver and survivor workshops, to broaden the reach of Mary's Place. Thankfully, it is through the gracious donations from caring individuals like you that our goal remains the same - to provide a place for women with cancer to heal: mind, body and soul. Michele Gannon and Maria McKeon, Founders Mary's Place by the Sea

Quo vadis… My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. This “treasure’ does have its cost: we must actively search, find, sort. In the gospel the seekers go out in obvious places to find the treasure. For us our discovery of the kingdom is most often in our everyday circumstances when we experience overwhelmingly in the in-breaking of God’s presence. This may be something so simple as the smile of a person’s grateful thanks or the sense of rightness that comes with fidelity to daily prayer. The challenge is to recognize that God chooses to be present to us! This weekend we welcome to the Saturday 5:00pm Mass the participants and facilitators for our First Choir Camp. We had 40 participants this year. The participants have come to lead us during the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. We welcome these children and young people as well as their parents and family members. This choir camp is one way we are striving to continue the Church’s long tradition of sharing a vast repertoire so that future generations will continue to be inspired when they come to Mass. There was a special focus on teaching Gregorian Chant which remains the crown jewel of our Catholic Liturgical Music. Thanks to our staff persons, especially Lauren and Andrew, for coordinating this effort and continuing to invite greater participation in our parish music ministry and choirs. May we continue to provide the very best in our Sacred Worship of God and our communal prayer. Thank you for your generous support of the School Backpack program to assist those families in need. Your sacrificial efforts enable
us to provide for those in need. Ticket sales for the Love Thy Neighbor/Parish 45th Anniversary Celebration are underway. Tickets may be purchased online. You will be able to print out a receipt to be presented upon arrival to the event. This method will also provide a reminder several days prior to the event. Come and be a part of this wonderful event. Work continues on the commemorative book that is being assembled. We have received items, photos and booklets that had been distributed through the years…some of which we did not have in our parish archives. I am grateful to the committee members for their efforts. We have some new concrete planters for our parish campus courtesy of parishioners, Bill and Linda Stagliano. The children from our Future Generation childcare center worked to place the flowers and plants in these new planters under the careful oversight of staff member, Linda. A great addition to our parish campus. This weekend I welcome Reverend Fr. Carlo Dell’Osso who is a professor of Patristics and Christology in Rome for a quick visit. Fr. Carlo is in Washington, DC for a month researching various topics for his teaching and upcoming published works. This will be his first visit since my transfer in 2013. Please join me in welcoming Fr. Carlo to our parish and 07722. The Summer continues as we begin the month of August. I hope that you can enjoy some outdoor time before we launch into the Fall season. Have a great week. Let us remember one another in prayer. Happy Sunday. Peace. Father Jeff

Looking for a good Catholic College…. Many Catholic colleges offer secular and religious degree programs, encouraging Catholic students of all backgrounds to stay connected with their faith. However, with over 250 Catholic colleges in the country, it can be difficult for Catholic students to narrow down their decision. Our team at TheBestColleges.org is here to help with our 2017 guide to choosing a Catholic college. In addition to connecting students with accredited Catholic colleges, this resource provides tips on what questions students should ask to find a school that fits their needs. Catholic colleges are making their own contribution in providing a wide selection of academic programs in a religious environment.
