5 Ways To Encounter God On Vacation
Written By
Will Wright
Time for Vacation
Summer is here and school is out. It’s time for a vacation. Many families, the world over, go on vacation to get away from the normal day in, day out of busy schedules. Some people stay at home and have “stay-cations.” Some go to the beach or the mountains. Some go to the desert and others go to lakes, rivers, ponds, or take a cruise. No matter where you and your family and friends go on vacation, God is there.
Priorities
When you go on vacation, what are your priorities? Do you want to take in the sights, find entertainment, go shopping, sit back and relax, get out into nature, party and go dancing, find some sporting events…? Do you plan everything out in advance or just go with the flow?
No matter what your answers are, it is important to prioritize God. Taking a vacation from work does not mean taking a vacation from the Catholic Faith. Vacation is the perfect time to focus on God more clearly and center yourself back on Him. He wants you to go on vacation and enjoy yourself and have a great time with family and friends. Do not let the opportunity to spend time with Him pass by.
5 Tips On How To Talk To Your Friends About Gender Identity
Written By
Fr. George Elliott
The Vatican recently published an educational guide, “Male and Female He Created Them” to address the current educational crisis around human sexuality.
In light of this educational guide, and the news it has drummed up, you may find yourself talking with friends about this controversial topic.
Here are 5 tips to keep in mind when talking about gender identity with your friends (or anyone).
1. Tread Lightly
Whoever you are speaking with probably knows and loves someone who is confused about their gender. Speaking in an offensive way will only make them close themselves to what you are saying. What you’re saying is important, but HOW you say it can make or break the effectiveness of what you want to communicate.

Bishop Malone to host 2019 Listening Sessions
Bishop Richard J. Malone, in conjunction with the Presbyteral Council, Vicars Forane, and the Movement to Restore Trust, will host a series of Listening Sessions across the Diocese during the next few months. The sessions will include the Bishop praying with the faithful, hearing their thoughts and comments, inviting discussion, and offering summary remarks regarding the mission of the diocese and its parishes, schools and other organizations.
The 2019 Listening Sessions are designed for the Bishop to hear concerns of the engaged parishioners and for them to offer recommendations for future initiatives regarding pastoral care, spiritual care and ministry. Recognizing the importance of the input and empowerment of the laity working in collaboration with Pastors, these sessions are an opportunity to create constructive partnerships, receive feedback, and formulate next steps to address the effects of the clergy sexual abuse crisis and other matters of concern.
There is a Session scheduled in our area on Saturday, August 3,
9:30-11:30am at Ascension Parish, Batavia. Other sessions include:
Thurs. June 27, 6:30-8:30pm - St. Mark’s Parish, Buffalo
Sat. June 29, 9:30-11:30am - Archbishop Walsh HS, Olean
Sat. Aug. 10, 9:30-11:30am - Nativity of Our Lord Parish, Orchard Park

the theme for the 2019 Appeal in
support of Catholic Charities and the
Fund for the Faith.
The Catholic Charities Appeal continues. We have collected $33,955. or 97% towards this year’s parish goal of $35,000. We are so close... Please help us reach our goal..
For your convenience
Our 10:30 Mass can be streamed at anytime in the McCabe Room. Please be sure to contact the office ahead of time so the equipment can be set up.
An elevator and nearby rest room make this an option for those who wish to attend Mass but have difficulty getting into the church.
Rather than miss Mass because of active little ones, parents may wish to bring their youngsters to the Resource Room where they can share in the service with them without the constraints of a pew. There is room to move around and a library of children's bible stories for them to enjoy.
All are welcome. Please suggest this to family and friends who may be looking for an opportunity, even temporarily, to attend Mass at Holy Family.
