From the desk of Father James
“I will praise your name forever, my King and my God!”
This past week, on July 4th, we celebrated our nation’s independence, a holiday that we celebrate each year com-memorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence two days after the Continental Congress voted for independence from England on July 2, 1776. Our founding fathers set into action a movement that has led to the creation of this nation in which we live today. While there may be areas in which we disagree, one thing remains, and that is that we live in a place in which we are able to gather each week to worship God. We believe that He has created each one of us as His own special creation. Yet, there are places in this world in which God’s children do not have the ability to do this. They are not able to live their faith freely. I pray that we truly take time to appreciate this gift of freedom that we have and to realize that this gift is slowly being eroded away. Let us pray that God may give us the courage and strength to fight and protect this right of religious freedom. So many have dedicated their lives to create and keep this important right for us. Last weekend also ushered in the beginning of my third year serving as your shepherd here at St. Francis in Sher-wood. These past two years have passed very quickly and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to guide and lead you as we journey together in being disciples of Jesus Christ. As I look ahead to the year to come, I am thinking of offering a bible Study series starting in mid-September. I am currently thinking of offering these sessions on Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm and then possi-bly another time slot as well for those that may not want to venture out in the evenings. This could possibly be Thursday afternoons from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm OR Saturday mornings from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. Typically these sessions would focus on the readings for the upcoming weekend. Stay tuned for more information! Have a blessed week!! In Christ, Fr. James
St. Francis Parish would like to welcome all newcomers and visitors.

Hope Garden Update
Summer seems to have arrived! I see sunshine, blooming flowers, sneezing people, and joyful school children. I also see that our Hope Garden is planted and growing. The Hope Garden (located behind the Old Hall) provides fresh produce to our food pantry. We are growing a long list of vegeta-bles and fruits. Our strawberry and raspberries are producing beautiful fruit and we are excited for what else our garden will bring. A big thank you to Vida Eppich, Carol and Mike Roos, and Vern and Debbie Puchalski for their tireless work in our gar-den. They are truly vegetation rockstars!
If you or your family is interested in volunteering at the garden, contact Anna in the Parish Center. Vol-unteers must be able to bend down and lift buckets of produce.

Food Pantry Hours: Wednesday 9 - 11am & 5 - 7pm Thursday 9 - 11am
Sister Emily Brabham is the daughter of Lin-da and Dale Brabham of Sherwood, Oregon. She will profess vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience for the first time during the July 29 Mass. Sister Brabham has been in ini-tial discernment for four years. She has par-ticipated in the life and mission of the Sisters and the intercommunity programs for pre-novitiate and canonical year while serving as Director of Youth Ministry for the parish of St. Francis Xavier in LaGrange, Illi-nois. She lives in community at the Francis-can Dwelling place in Chicago.
“I am grateful for the Sisters continuing to journey with me through this discernment process,” Sister Brabham said. “The gift of the Clinton Franciscan Family is an indescriba-ble joy that I thank God for every day. I am excited to see where this journey takes me as I seek to serve God’s people and live out the mission through peacemaking and active nonviolence while embracing the charism of conversion of heart.”
CATHOLICS CAN COME HOME
Have you been away from the Church but feel as if you are
being called home? Were you raised as a Catholic but do not
come to Mass or seldom come? Do you feel separated from
the Church because you feel that you don’t know what is go-
ing on? Are you thinking about rekindling your participa-
tion in the Catholic Church and your relationship with Jesus?
We are here to welcome you home! Listening sessions are
forming. Call the parish office for more information

"God grant that this reli-gious liberty may be pre-served in these states until the end of time, and that all believing in the religion of Christ may practice the leading principle of charity, the basis of every virtue." ~Charles Carroll, Signer of the Declaration of Independence

Respect Life
Catholic Corner
How serious a sin is stealing? Stealing is a serious sin if the thing stolen is of considerable value. Stealing something of small value can be mortally sinful if the owner is poor and thus suffers great injury. A series of small thefts could eventually result in a mortal sin, when the total amount taken becomes sufficiently large. St. Paul Family Catechism.
Next Week: Must a thief return stolen goods?
