Next week’s second collection is for the Cemetery Fund.

Letters were sent out this week announcing the sixth annual $1, 000 raffle. Raffle tickets are $5 each and we are asking each family to buy or sell at least 5 tickets. The drawing will be held on August 15 and all returns should be made no later than Thursday, August 13. Simply include your name and phone number on the back of each ticket and return them with payment in the offertory basket, by mail, or by dropping them in the rectory mail slot.
Envelopes should be marked “Attn. Betty.”

This is one of our three yearly fundraisers. Help by purchasing the tickets for yourself and by reaching out to family and friends for their support. More tickets can be obtained by stopping in at the rectory or by calling the rectory (978-452-2564) during regular office hours (Monday – 10 – 1 PM) or by calling Betty Tsioulis at 978-809-9199 or Betty Papik at 978-459-2873. Maybe you or someone you know will have that extra $1, 000 to extend his/her summer vacation or to spend on extra activities at home.
If you did not receive the mailing, please pick one up at the ushers’ stand.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In our first reading we hear that God was pleased with Solomon’s request for an understanding heart! Take note, Slomon does not ask for riches or long life or even an untroubled life. His request may give us pause to consider what we put values on, what priorities we have, and think is important. Would our answer be like that of Solomon? To help us be clearer about what is important, Jesus gives us two additional short parables: the pearl of great price and the hidden treasure. Do we consider our faith as a pearl of great price, or a treasure to seek? These readings give us much food for thought and prayer ~ about what we value, what we pursue, and whose we want to be!

NIECH BÓG WAS BŁOGOSŁAWI I CHRONI W NADCHODZĄCYM TYGODNIU
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND PROTECT YOU IN THE WEEK AHEAD
