HOLY FATHERS’ INTENTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST:
For evangelization in the city – Let us pray that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build community.
SYMPATHY:
Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Maureen Keough-George. Let us remember her at prayer.
AUGUST 6TH – THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION:
This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the
Transfiguration of the Lord, commemorating the moment Jesus revealed His divine glory to Peter,
James, and John on the mountaintop. As His face shone like the sun and His clothes became white
as light, the voice of the Father declared: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” This powerful revelation was given to strengthen the disciples' faith for the journey of the cross ahead. Today, we are invited to look past the ordinary, listen to His voice, and let His divine light transform our daily lives and hearts.

BISHOP’S UPDATE FOR THE PARISHES:
Welcome to a new feature in your parish bulletins. In order to enhance communications within the diocese, to facilitate ongoing discussion and conversation, and to make sure that parishes feel connected to each other and with the diocese, I hope to share something new each week. This column will be used in a variety of ways: from updates on conversations that are unfolding on the diocesan level to news of arrivals and appointment of priests, from what is new and exciting in some of our parishes to upcoming events, workshops and spiritual days of reflection. This column may also see input from our new Diocesan Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation, Angela Dolomount, who will be starting her ministry with the diocese in August. Angela was born and raised in Corner Brook and, after spending some time away with the military and to go to university, returned to Corner Brook to teach. She has recently accepted the position of Diocesan Director of Evangelization and Faith Formation left vacant by Nic Escalona Jr. We wish her all the success and welcome her as a new staf member at our diocesan ofice.
SUMMER PRAYER:
Father, Creator of all, thank You for summer. Thank You for the warmth of the sun and the increased daylight. Thank You for the beauty I see all around me and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation. Thank You for the increased time I have to be with my friends and family, and for the more casual pace of the summer season. Draw me closer to You this summer. Teach me how I can pray no matter where I am or what I am doing. Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence and light my path with Your word and counsel. As I enjoy Your creation, create in me a pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for You. Amen.
