PILGRIMAGE TO<br />

THE SHRINE<br />

CHURCH OF<br />

ST STANISLAUS BY<br />

THE LEGION OF<br />

MARY<br />

On Thursday, 28 June, the Legion of Mary,<br />

here at <strong>Ss</strong> <strong>Robert</strong> & <strong>William</strong>, sponsored a<br />

pilgrimage to St Stanislaus Church in Slavic<br />

Village. There were 24 of us who enjoyed a<br />

delightful lunch at the Seven Roses Café; we were<br />

given a tour of the amazingly ornate Gothic<br />

church, venerated the Mitre used by the Blessed<br />

Pope John Paul II, <strong>and</strong> celebrated Mass. It was a<br />

day of prayer, contemplation <strong>and</strong> joy. Thank you<br />

to all who took part.<br />

The day was such a success that we will<br />

plan more pilgrimage days in the future to other<br />

locations in the area. This trip was sponsored by<br />

the Legion of Mary. This group meets on Monday<br />

evenings at 6:30 pm for prayer <strong>and</strong> business. Each<br />

week the members are active in visiting the sick in<br />

hospitals, nursing homes <strong>and</strong> hospice. They visit<br />

the Euclid jail, work with the families preparing<br />

for the baptism of their children <strong>and</strong> are a<br />

powerful spiritual presence in our parish. Visitors<br />

to the meetings & those interested in joining are<br />

always welcome.<br />

BIBLE STUDY<br />

Have you Begun to Read the Bible Only to Stop in<br />

Disinterest? If you have ever wanted to read the Bible<br />

but stopped in frustration or confusion, then The Bible<br />

Timeline study is for you. This study makes reading the<br />

Bible not only easy but even exciting! Often the problem<br />

with reading the Bible is that is was not written as a linear<br />

story so, when people start to read it, they quickly lose the<br />

narrative thread. Not any more, thanks to The Bible<br />

Timeline. Stay tuned, details coming soon!<br />

MANY THANKS!!<br />

“We are overwhelmed at the generosity of the<br />

parishioners of <strong>Ss</strong>. <strong>Robert</strong> & <strong>William</strong> <strong>Parish</strong>. We are so<br />

grateful for the $1,815.92 raised for Womankind through<br />

your baby bottle fundraiser.”<br />

“On behalf of our staff, volunteers, <strong>and</strong> most<br />

importantly, the women <strong>and</strong> families who benefit from<br />

your generosity, THANK YOU for all that you continue<br />

to make possible.”<br />

~ Womankind<br />

anyone ever told you that you have a good voice?<br />

Has anyone ever told you that you play well?<br />

in the parish? Then we have the answer for you!<br />

The Morning Angels are looking for new singers<br />

<strong>and</strong> instrumentalists for the upcoming choir<br />

Interested in Learning about the<br />

Catholic Faith?<br />

If you, or someone you know, have questions about the<br />

Catholic Faith <strong>and</strong> Tradition, we will host an Inquiry Session<br />

on Monday, August 20, <strong>2012</strong> at 7:00 p.m. in the Sacred Heart<br />

Room located in the <strong>Parish</strong> Office Building. The purpose of<br />

the meeting will be to discuss the R.C.I.A. program, a special<br />

catechetical class offered to those seeking the sacraments of<br />

Baptism, Confirmation <strong>and</strong> Eucharist. This course is also for<br />

those who simply wish to learn about Catholicism. Fully<br />

initiated <strong>and</strong> practicing Catholics who are looking for a ‘faithrefresher’<br />

are most welcome. Please come on Monday the 20 th<br />

would answer your questions or support your spiritual growth<br />

<strong>and</strong> enhance your knowledge our God, our Lord <strong>and</strong> Savior,<br />
