God’s mercy is always with us. In order for this to change us, we must be attentive to
God’s love and mercy in our daily lives.
This Week:
Before or during lunch, pause to thank God for the blessings of the morning—a
kind interaction with a co-worker, a task completed, a complicated situation that was
resolved. Look ahead to the afternoon, and ask God to give you the grace to live as a
disciple in the hours that come.
The Year of Mercy: Be Attentive at Midday!
CSA 2016 As of June 16th, we have

I will be on vacation with two very close priest friends
from my days in Rome. Every year we spend some time
together. This year, we’re leaving the country; we’re
going to Canada (the city of Toronto) for several days.
Please keep me in your prayers and know that you will
be in mine everyday as we get together and pray the
Divine Office.

Parish Faith Formation
What’s Happening in Religious Education Our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students will now meet in the summer for
two consecutive weeks. This year our session will be Sunday, August 7th -
Thursday, August 18th. Each week of the two week session will run Sunday
through Thursday, 5:30-8:30 PM. Picture in your mind a Vacation Bible
School setting for Middle School students. The students will rotate between
Catechesis, Craft, Recreation, Snack, and Worship. This format allows more
formational time as well as more engagement for the student.
During the school year (September - May) our Middle School students will stay
active within our community by attending bimonthly service and social events
hosted at the parish by Club Serve. Several of our young adults will be heading
up Club Serve and working with the Middle School Students.
Our registration for Religious Education will be offered online this year - both registration as well as payment.
Please check the Parish Website, www.saintliz.org, for additional information. If you have any questions or
concerns please feel free to contact Terri Konwinski, (248) 879-1314 or by email at [email protected].

Gospel Reflection for Parents
“Who is my neighbor whom I must love like myself?” is asked by a man
challenging Jesus. In the society of Jesus' time, with its distinctions
between Jews and Gentiles, men and women, clean and unclean, this was a
trick question. Jesus responds with one of the most beautiful of all the
parables, the Good Samaritan. It is found only in Luke's Gospel.
The road from Jerusalem to Jericho descends 3,300 feet in just 17 miles. Its
narrow passes and rocky terrain made it an easy place for bandits to wait
for travelers. The traveler in this parable is identified only as “a certain
man.” Luke uses this phrase in many of his parables so that the audience,
Jew or Gentile, could identify with the man. After the attack, the man is left for dead, naked and bleeding on the
side of the road. A priest comes along, but rather than helping, as one might expect, he moves to the other side of
the road. Another religious person comes along, a Levite who assists in the Temple. His reaction is the same as the
priest's. Both of them choose to not even find out if the man is alive. A third person comes along. The listeners
would probably expect him to be an Israelite. This would make the parable a criticism of the religious leadership.
Instead he is a Samaritan, an Israelite's most hated neighbor. Samaritans were descendents of Jews from the
northern part of the country, who had intermarried with Gentiles and did not worship in Jerusalem. The
Samaritan not only goes over to the injured man but cleans his wounds, puts him on his own animal, takes him to
an inn to recover, and promises to pay all his expenses. The hated enemy is the compassionate neighbor in this
parable.
Jesus has demolished all boundary expectations. It is not social definitions such as class, religion, gender, or
ethnicity that determines who is our neighbor. A neighbor is a person who acts with compassion toward another.
The point becomes not who deserves to be loved as I love myself, but that I become a person who treats everyone
with compassion.
When Jesus asks the lawyer who was the neighbor in the story, the lawyer can't bring himself to say it was the
Samaritan. All he says is that it was “the one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus' response was similar to that of
the first discussion: “Go and do likewise.” The lawyer, and we, know what is right. The key is to do it.

Our Parish
The SEAS St. Vincent de Paul Conference is blessed to
share an opportunity with families struggling
financially or suffering some other hardship, with
children between the age of 8 and 14. If this applies to
you or someone you know, we can offer children the
opportunity to attend Camp Ozanam this summer for
free. Camp Ozanam provides
children a free week of summer

the great outdoors as we "Grow
Stronger, Together" - the Camp's
2016 theme. Please contact Greg
Alonso at (248) 202-2854 for more information.
Looking to spark the faith of your children and
grandchildren while they have a blast
at the same time? Check out Camp
Sancta Maria located in Gaylord. It is

-filled environment. It offers
experiences for boys and girls, daily Mass, and many
varied activities. For more information, visit

Please make note that our St.
Elizabeth Ann Seton Church
Picnic has been changed to a
40th Anniversary celebration of
our parish. The date is still the
same (Sunday, August 21st)
and will take place here on the church grounds.
There will be a bounce house, a couple of pinatas and
games in the classrooms and/or the social hall for the
kids (including cornroll, ring toss and ladder golf for
the teens and adults). Feel free to bring any other
games you can think of to add to our selection.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the games.
This would be a great opportunity for the youth here at
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton!
As far as food, we are renting food vendor trucks. We
are looking into one for hamburgers and hot dogs, a
Mexican food one, and others. If you have a suggestion
or recommendation for one, please call me at the office.

Catholic Life
Know someone with limited
resources who is choosing between
food purchases and other
necessities? The Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) helps eligible individuals
and families including seniors to save money on
groceries to pay bills, for medications, clothes, and
other necessities. Thanks in part to generous support
from the Walmart Foundation, Catholic Charities of
Southeast Michigan (CCSEM) is helping residents of
Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties to quickly
learn if they are eligible and enroll. Make a
confidential call to CCSEM today at (248) 338-4250
ext. 3700!
In this Year of Mercy, Pope Francis encourages us to
serve those who need help.
Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM) is
collaborating with parishes, schools, and others to
coordinate a regional Day of Service on Saturday,
October 1st to organize a multitude of local service
projects like helping those in need with chores and
tidying up around the house, stocking food pantries,
cleaning up neighborhood parks, and other efforts.
Learn more about service projects in your area and
register to help! We are the hands, feet, and heart
needed to lift burdens from another! Get involved by
calling Joyce Hyttinen at (248) 537-3304 or email at
St. Anastasia now has a
group of men and women
who have been trained
extensively to listen to,
pray with, and walk
alongside others who are
grieving or hurting. They
are ca l led Stephen
Ministers and will provide a listening ear and a caring
heart to people experiencing an especially difficult time
in their lives. This is a Christ-centered, care-giving
ministry.
As Stephen Ministers, we understand how important it
is to find someone to confide in and talk to during a
crisis or difficult time. Sometimes we aren’t
comfortable sharing our inner most thoughts with
people close to us. It is often helpful to talk
confidentially with someone who can be non-
judgmental outside of our close circle of family and
friends.
If you or someone you know could benefit from talking
to a Stephen Minister, please call Kim Houseman at
(248) 689.8380 or [email protected].

CSA: Natural Family Planning
“Natural Family Planning. Love, Mercy, Life. Opening
the Heart of Marriage” is the theme of National Natu-
ral Family Planning (NFP) Awareness Week 2016, held
this July 24th to 30th.
The campaign of the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops celebrates God’s design for married
love and the gift of life and raises awareness of NFP
methods. Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal allow
the archdiocesan Office for Natural Family Planning,
which is part of the Department of Evangelization,
Catechesis and Schools, to offer classes in and presen-
tations about NFP methods.
To celebrate NFP Awareness Week, the Office for
Natural Family Planning is hosting a family picnic
with the Couple to Couple League at VFW Park in
Royal Oak on Sunday, July 24th. Anyone living, sup-
portive of, or interested in NFP is welcome.
For more information about NFP Awareness Week or
RSVPing to the family picnic, or about other CSA-
funded ministries, programs, and services, go to
www.AOD.org.

CHURCH OFFICE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We are in need of a few volunteers to help in the
church office during all Masses on the weekend.
The Saturday Mass office hours would be 4:00-
6:30 PM. Depending on the number of volunteers
who sign up, you may only be required to work
every 4 to 6 weeks. Presently, we have only three
volunteers for this Mass.
The Sunday Mass office hours would be either
8:30-10:30 AM or 10:30 AM-12:30 PM. As of
today, we only have two volunteers for the 10:30
AM-12:30 PM timeframe.
If you cannot commit to these times, perhaps you
could be a sub for one of them. Please call the
office if you are interested in volunteering for this
ministry.
Thank you,
Karen Webb

FOOD DEPOT PANTRY
Even though winter has come and gone, the needs for
the homeless and hungry have not changed at the food
pantry. Our donation has gone down a bit the last
couple of months. So, here is my challenge.
When you are out shopping for your everyday
groceries, or for a party, or a vacation, pick up a little
something to put in our bin for those less fortunate. I
would be willing to bet that those that come to the
pantry, do not have the good fortune to have a party
and/or go on a vacation.
Thank you for your continued support.
God Bless,
Karen Webb
Christian Service Coordinator
ATTENTION ROSARY MAKERS!
There will not be a meeting of the

and I will be happy to get them to
you. We will resume our regular
meetings in September.

Respect Life will be holding an on-going Baby Shower to benefit Abigayle
Ministries, a local crisis pregnancy center. It is not enough that we pray to end
abortion, and ask our legislators to pass laws to end abortion. We must help
women who are pregnant and scared and believe that they have no other option.
Donations of new or gently used baby clothing can be placed in the crib in the
parish hall. Baby food, formula, diapers and other baby necessities are also welcome. Unfortunately, we cannot
accept stuffed animal toys. Thank you in advance for your generous support.
