Notes from Fr. David: Now it Begins!....Last week we talked about how Jesus was "on a roll" and everyone
Loved him and was impressed by his wisdom and actions...and then, he boldly mentioned that the Scripture he
just read was now "fulfilled". Wow...what a statement. In this weeks Gospel he boldly makes statements and
challenges that incite the Temple goers to the point that they push him to the edge of the cliff, wanting to throw
him over it head first....but he is able to slip away. I can just hear some of his disciples saying..."Jesus, you had
to go and ruin it didn't you...everything was just fine and now they want to kill us". But Jesus knew that to truly
begin his ministry meant that he would make waves and cause discord, but he did it anyway. Doing and saying
the "right thing" always has it's consequences. We must be willing to stand up for the truth even though it may
cause us discomfort.
TOLEDO DIOCESAN ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL This weekend we heard Bishop Blair kick off the Annual ACA
Campaign. Our goals this year are as follows: St. Boniface $14,000. (Last year we collected $18,400. Our Lady of
Lourdes $12,000. (Last year we collected $13,900.) We have always gone above and beyond for this campaign and I
know that our generosity will continue. Next week is commitment weekend and there will be envelopes in the pews
along with letters that you receive through the mail. Thank You for your Kindness!
UPDATE ON OUR LADY OF LOURDES REPLACEMENT OF HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING, REPLACEMENT OF
THE CARPET, AND REPLACEMENT OF SANCTUARY FURNISHINGS: A FINAL BID HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO
THE DIOCESE FOR APPROVAL. INSIDE IMPROVEMENTS ARE WAITING ON SOME BIDS TO COME IN SOON AND
THEN CARPET CHOICES WILL BE SHOWN TO THE PARISH FOR APPROVAL. A LETTER HAS ALSO BEEN SENT
TO BISHOP BLAIR ASKING TO BEGIN COLLECTING FUNDS TO PAY FOR THE PROJECT. NORMALLY NO
CAMPAIGN IS PERMITTED DURING THE ACA FUND DRIVE, BUT GIVEN OUR PAST PERFORMANCE DONATING TO
THE ACA WE WILL BE PERMITTED, ONCE APPROVED, TO RAISE THE MONEY NEEDED WITH THE CONDITION
THAT THE ACA GOAL IS REACHED. LOOK FOR MORE INFORMATION SOON TO COME.
MAY GOD
CONTINUE TO BLESS US!
LOVE, FR. DAVID
