Summer Bible Study Deacon Charles will host a Bible Study on Acts 2 called “The Church on Fire” Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 8 pm, until to August 9th.  All are invited. Are you interested in becoming a Catholic? If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith, we invite you to contact the parish office.  This fall we will have a program (RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) for the purpose of sharing what the Catholic Church teaches and to support those discerning this decision.  The program has an initial inquiry period and then progresses through many important topics of faith, shared, discussed and experienced in meaningful ways.  Everyone’s faith journey is unique and special, and God’s love is powerful and exciting, bringing new life to whomever is open to receive it.  More info:  519-364-1973 Adoration Chapel News Our Adoration Chapel is open Mondays at 9 am until Thursday at 8 pm.  Come spend quiet time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.  If you would like to visit during night hours – contact Don Waechter at  364-1185.  Day time drop in visits welcome. Thank you Please keep in your prayers those who are terminally ill, facing surgery or caring for loved ones going through a hard time, physically, mentally or spiritually! This Sunday’s Gospel Matthew 17: 1-9 Discussion Questions:

1. Where is a special place you like to go, to pray?
2. What makes you feel closer to God praying there?
3. What might your reaction have been, if you were Peter, James or John in this passage?
4. Take some quiet time to be in awe of God’s presence today.
