ST. JOSEPH ANNUAL FESTIVAL
St. Joseph, Danville Parish is having their Annual Festival on Saturday, June 25, noon until 7 pm and you are invited. A variety of food and beverages, children’s games with prizes, basket raffle, money raffle, three winners, and entertainment. All to benefit St. Joseph school. Come down for lunch or dinner and make some new friends.

MAY SHE REST IN THE PEACE OF THE LORD
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Ms. Tara Helwig Vining, who died on June 13, 2022. The parish community of Saint Columba Church extends its deepest sympathies to her family, relatives, and friends on their loss.

RENOVATION UPDATE
The wall behind the Saint Columba Statue is being cleaned and prepared for the mural painting. You may have noticed that the votive candles have been moved, and that the candle offering box is temporarily inaccessible. We have an envelope hanging near the candles for your offerings.

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Eucharistic Procession last Sunday, it was a grace-filled experience and we are thankful to everyone who attended and assisted, especially the Konkolics Family who helped to organize this event.

LOVE OF NEIGHBOR COLLECTION: WHAT IS IT? WHO DOES IT HELP?
The Love of Neighbor collection is taken up every other month in order to provide for the ever-growing needs of people in our community. Examples may be a single mom who needs help with rent, an elderly person needing help with a utility bill, or perhaps a person working two jobs but still needs assistance with a vehicle repair bill. The persons receiving financial assistance do not need to be members of our parish. They are vetted to the best of the parish staff’s ability for validity. Checks are made payable directly to the landlord, utility company, or place of repair, and cash is never dispersed.

APPRECIATION is extended to Mr. Peter Morisco and the rest of the administration, the faculty, and the support personnel of St. Columba School for their ministry to the students of our parish school. Thank you for sharing your education, your faith, and your love with these students. We also extend thanks to all the volunteers who have assisted in the educational needs of our young people. God will bless your service to His youth.

Hearing the Word of the Lord

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Jesus reminds us to keep our eyes fixed on Him and to move forward with our hearts and lives in that direction. We cannot follow Him looking through a rear view mirror, but to look forward as He leads and guides us. There are sacrifices, but the rewards are great!

Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Part Three: Life in Christ
SECTION TWO: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
The Eighth Commandment
You Shall not bear false witness against your neighbor

What is forbidden by the Eighth Commandment?
The eighth commandment forbids: false witness, perjury, and lying, the gravity of which is measured by the truth it deforms, the circumstances, the intentions of the one who lies, and the harm suffered by its victims; rash judgment, slander, defamation and calumny which diminish or destroy the good reputation and honor to which every person has a right; flattery, adulation, or complaisance, especially if directed to serious sins or toward the achievement of illicit advantages. A sin committed against truth demands reparation if it has caused harm to others.
