August 20/21 Masses: Appeal for The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette
On the weekend Masses of August 20/21, come hear Fr. William Kaliyadan, who began his ministry in the Philippines, now serving in the US as the North American Provincial Councilor of the Missionaries of La Salette, speak to St. Julia parish to preach support for La Salette’s Annual Mission Appeal.
The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette minister to people of every race, language, culture and way of life – beginning at the La Salette Shrine in France where our Blessed Mother appeared in 1846. Her final words, “Well, my children, you will make this known to all my people,” echoed Jesus’ Gospel mandate. It is little wonder that the La Salette Congregation has always been mission-orientated. When called upon by the Vatican to preach the Gospel in foreign lands, they eagerly responded. This spirit brought them to mission in 27 countries, especially among the poor in Angola, Argentina, Bolivia, Haiti, India, Madagascar, Myanmar and the Philippines. With our cooperation and support, the Missionaries of La Salette can continue to provide spiritual and financial assistance to these mission countries as they bring God’s reconciling message to the poor. Having brought the fullness of Life to our world when He rose from the dead, Jesus sent his disciples to share this life with all of creation. “They went forth and preached everywhere”(Mk 16:20).
Following Fr. Kaliyadan’s talk, a second collection will take place. Please consider support of these Missionaries, with a donation by check made to “St. Julia Parish” with “Prop. of the Faith” in the memo space. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

NEIGHBORS NEED your Help!
St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry Call for Donations
The summer is a crucial time for the Lincoln/Weston Saint Vincent de Paul Food Pantry and its clients! Children who usually receive school lunches during the school year are now without them, so additional food donations are requested to fill this need. Some of the items needed: Gluten-free cookies/crackers, lactose-free shelf milk, and condiments like salad dressings. (Food must not exceed expiration dates.) Monetary donations are needed as well, and can be made here.
Please consider donating any of these or other food items, and/or monetary gifts, if you are able. The SVdP is grateful for your support and generosity in helping your neighbors!

SUMMER SNEAKER DRIVE IS ON!
Our parish is again launching our the Sneaker Drive in the month of August for children in Dorchester.
The goal is to deliver 100 pairs of new sneakers to the children to start school. We know that new sneakers help children run faster, jump higher, and just feel good. Please consider making the gift of a fresh pair (or two) of sneakers, which will launch children into a great school year!
To do so, please look for the Sneaker Drive posters at the back of our churches and choose a ‘paper sneaker’ tag for a desired size of new sneakers to purchase and donate. (The sizes on the sneaker tags are only suggested sizes so we can cover a variety of sizes.)
If it’s easier and you’d prefer to make a financial donation for this project, please kindly drop off or mail a check made to St. Julia Parish, marked “Sneaker Project” to: 374 Boston Post Road Weston, MA 02493. For any questions, contact: Pat Dacey at 781-237-0947. Thanks in advance for your generosity and support of these children!

WORKS-In-Progress: Our Parish Churches
Over the summer months we are continuing to repair, update and enhance our Parish facilities in both Weston and Lincoln.
Our Saint Joseph House in Lincoln has been undergoing some much needed interior updates. Our Saint Julia Rectory, Offices and Parish Center are also receiving an external makeover. Carpenters have replaced rotted wood, and buildings have been power-washed, scraped and sanded. They are now being freshly painted. More work needs to be done to keep our beautiful Churches and buildings in good order; but, we are making progress! Thank you to all who generously support our Parish’s ordinary and capital needs throughout the year!
Did you know the story of St. Joseph Church, Lincoln?
