Through Christ our Lord. Amen

The Precious Blood of Jesus.July is dedicated to The Precious Blood of Jesus. The liturgical season of Ordinary Time, represented by the liturgical color green, symbol of hope, color of the sprouting seed, arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven and a glorious resurrection.
July is usually hot & a time for relaxing. Also a time when crops planted in Spring are maturing & growing. Just as the crops are dependent upon summer rains to grow & to survive so too our spiritual development is dependent upon our frequenting the sacraments & receiving the Blood of Christ.
The Main Feasts of this month are:
St. Thomas the Apostle (July 3),
The patron of builders. He is said to have built a Church with his own hands in East India. The spear refers to the instrument of his martyrdom.
St. Anthony Mary & St. Elizabeth of Portugal (July 5)
St. Maria Goretti, (July 6),
St. Augustine Zhao Rong (July 9),
St. Benedict (July 11), St. Henry (July 13),
Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha (USA - July 14),
St. Bonaventure (July 15),
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (July 16),
The Blessed Virgin appeared to St. Simon Stock, holding in her hand a scapular, and directed him to found a Confraternity whose members should wear this scapular and consecrate themselves to her service. The Sabbatine privilege will then insure their early release from Purgatory on the Saturday after their death.
St. Camillus (July 18),
St. Apollinaris (Junly 20),
St. Lawrence of Brindisi (July 21),
St. Mary Magdalene (July 22), St. Bridget (July 23),
St. Sharbel (July 24),
St. James (July 25),
Sts. Joachim and Anne (July 26)
are superseded by the Sunday liturgy.
The mother of Our Lady, whose loving care of her daughter is shown by the silver border with black masonry. The lily refers to the girlhood of the Virgin.Activity of the Month
Family & Friends of Jesus Scrapbook Album. Recording "memories" of Jesus' life with His friends & family is a wonderful way to gain more knowledge of Christ & enter more closely into the Paschal Mystery. Summer is a good time to start this project with your family.
St. Martha (July 29),
mentioned as serving Christ with refreshment. A covered table with cloth, cups, pitcher & bowl containing fruit are symbols of St. Martha's service.
St. Peter Chrysologus (July 30),
St. Ignatius of Loyola (July 31).
The Founder of the Society of Jesus, & writer of the "Spiritual Exercises." "IHS" & rays, with the letters "AMDG" meaning "To the greater glory of God". -
