Summerfest for 2017 is over but
thanks to everyone who worked
and/or attended.
We had a great year.
We must have special angels
watching over us because, with the
look of the radar, we should have
been rained out on Friday night.
We opened and stayed open until
normal closing time.
Saturday was a
record attendance day.
Thank you to everyone who
participated in anyway at all.
Thank you to all who made a donation and/
or pledge to this year’s Annual Catholic
Appeal – whether that was through the
Circle of Honor, the mailing, or the in-pew
solicitation. I am very grateful for your
generosity and I know that Bishop Malooly
is as well.
The goal set this year for our parish by the
diocese was $99,000. The pledged amount is
$109,465. - $63,707.12 of that has been
collected by the diocese.
That means we have exceeded our goal by $10,465, all of which we will receive
back from the diocese in January 2018…as
long as we all fulfill our pledges.
Thank you again for your generosity and I
encourage all to complete their pledge.
God Bless,
Fr Mark

AM at Church of the Holy
Child, Bishop Malooly will or-
dain eight deacons for service
throughout the Diocese of Wil-
mington. Three of those eight
men come from Holy Family:
David Feaster, Darrell Lashomb, and Joseph
Roach.
These men, along with their wives Julie, Beth, and
Barbara, have been engaged in a formation process
for the past five years that has prepared them for or-
dination.
Deacons, as ordained clergy in the Church, are called
to three general areas of service: the ministry of the
Word, the ministry of liturgy, and the ministry of
charity. They receive their diaconal assignments from
the Bishop, to whom they make a promise of obedi-
ence at ordination. Deacons continue to support them-
selves in their secular occupations after ordination
and generally serve without remuneration.
We congratulate David, Darrell, and Joe, and offer
them our prayers for years of fruitful and fulfilling
ministry in the Diocese of Wilmington.
Our three new deacons will be available to
receive your good wishes and congratulations in
the parish hall immediately after all the Masses
on the weekend of August 26/27. Please stop in
and share in their joy.
We welcome newly baptized into our Catholic
Faith:
Cameron Rigby Stuhl Daughter of Jonathan and Theresa Stuhl
May she continue to grow in her faith
We are in dire need of people to
sell SCRIP for a few minutes
before and after Masses.
SCRIP is a great fund raiser for
Holy Family BUT we need people to sell the SCRIP
for us. You are not scheduled every week and you
let us know times you are not available and the Mass
of your choice.
Please call the office if you feel you could help us at
302-368-4665.

Looking to be more
involved at Mass?
If you’re looking for a way to more fully
connect with the liturgy, consider becoming
a Sacristan. Sacristans are ministers who make sure the
church is ready to celebrate Mass.
The duties include:
Set up for Mass, including, but not limited to: setting out
the vessels for Eucharist, the hosts and wine for offertory,
and the books.
Check before Mass to make sure we have a full comple-
ment of ministers.
Be available to re-fill vessels from the Tabernacle during
Communion to make sure ministers do not run out of Eu-
charist..
Purify the vessels after Mass, then wash them with the
help of Eucharistic ministers.
Training will be offered to get you started. If you have any
questions or are ready to join this ministry, please call the
church office at 302-368-4665.
DO YOU NEED
SERVICE HOURS?
ALTAR SERVERS
NEEDED!
Many schools are now
requiring service hours. If you are a student in
need of service hours, consider becoming an
altar server.
Altar servers are scheduled according to Mass
preference and can block out dates for vacation
time. You can easily earn 20-30 service
hours per year by serving at Mass 2-3
times per month. If you are interested in more information about
becoming an altar server, please call the parish
office at 302-368-4665.

these proverbs: "It is better to leave angry words
unspoken than to mend the heart those words have
broken." and "The tongue is the only instrument
that gets sharper with use."
