During the 2023-24 school year, tutors conducted an incredible 1,961 sessions in literacy and math for students at Mountain Pine Elementary School. The impact was amazing! Those interested in tutoring, along with current tutors, are invited to attend an organizational meeting in Classrooms A & B on August 12. Literacy will be discussed from 10:00-11:00 am, followed by math from 11:00am-12:00pm. Tutoring resumes September 3.

"We, ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."

Our Singles Ministry recently enjoyed a meal at Red Oak Filling Station. Thank you, Deacon BJ, for the
recommendation.
Join us in celebrating the life and contributions of Fr. Michael McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus, known for his dedication to helping those in need, particularly widows and orphans. A Mass in his honor will be held on Tuesday, August 13 at 9:00 am followed by a reception in the Upper Hall. Come and enjoy pastries, fruit, coffee and juice as we commemorate this special occasion.






The Eucharistic Revival movement has been an act of faith from the beginning:

• Faith that Jesus desires to reveal himself
more deeply in the Eucharist

• Faith that he has the power to heal, restore and
unify his people

• Faith that when the Lord extends an invita􀆟on,
he will fulfill his promise

• Faith that when we prepare 􀆟nder, he will set it
ablaze with his love

• Faith that when we gather in his name, he will
show up
With the Feast of the Assump􀆟on of the Blessed Virgin Mary coming this week on Thursday, the five
part series "A Bible Study on the Glorious Mysteries" would be a good choice of study on your Formed
subscription. Dr. Ben Akers and professors from the Augustine Institute Graduate School will increase
your understanding and devotion to the glorious mysteries of the Rosary with a walk through these
biblical mysteries. Haven't yet registered for your free subscription? Go to www.FORMED.org and sign up.

The Eucharist is not a potion for power or a portal to the perfect life. It is, rather, a balm, a warm hug, an indescribable gift that compels us to, in turn, give to those around us.

We all know death is a certainty, but do we think of it as a new adventure? There is a new offering on Formed titled "Eternal Rest: the Art of Dying Well". This four episode film series presents the Catholic Church's teaching about death and God's response to it with wisdom and truth, gentleness and compassion. It examines questions like "What happens when we die?, and "How do we prepare for the life to come"? The offering also includes a reference to a site for practical resources. Register for your free parish subscription at www.FORMED.org.
