Music - Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Entrance Antiphon
Cantor: All you who are thirsty, come to the waters, says the Lord,
             And you who have no money, come, drink in gladness.
             Attend, O my people, to my law; 
             Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 
All:        Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
             As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
             World without end. Amen.

Psalm Response 
The hand of the Lord feeds us; He answers all our needs.

Communion Antiphon
You gave us bread from heaven, O Lord, having in it all that is delicious,
And the sweetness of every taste.

Communion Refrain
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up on the last day.

RYAN LUGO’S EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT – Ryan and the scouts are working hard. They have been hampered by the heat, but are getting closer to completion. The statue of St. Joseph has arrived and has been installed! Special thanks to all who contributed toward the statue, including: Bob Buber, Tom Guido, Fran Cocuzza, The Cassieri’s, Janice Ragazzo and Emily Mattia. God bless you!

WIRELESS SOUND SYSTEM – It has been frustrating working with the company out in California but they have been closed due to the pandemic. They have finally agreed to exchange the priest’s mic system. For now, we continue to use the outdoor system for our musicians.

TV SYSTEM – Everything is here but the cameras. Hopefully this week?!

PRIEST TIME AWAY – Father Connolly will be away August 3-5 and then August 10-14. Father Michael will be away August 5-7.
