St John Neumann Parish

Thinking of all those who have served and continue to serve. over the years I have been privileged to minister in towns that are home to many service men and women and their families. May God Bless all of you.

The prayers of our entire community are with Fr. Michael Bryant as he and his family prepare to say goodbye to his mother, Lucille Keck, who passed into eternal life this past Friday. A wonderful and holy woman filled with love! Family and friends may pay their respects this Thursday, July 27th, from 6 to 8 pm at the Tussey-Mosher Funeral Home, 139 Main St., Wellsboro. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be the following morning, Friday, at 10 am in St. Peter's Catholic Church, 38 Central Ave., Wellsboro.

Also, a memorial Mass will be celebrated on Friday, August 18th, the week of her birthday, at 6:30 pm at Nativity of Our Lord Parish, in Duryea.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her!

RECTORY SET COOK UPDATE!

So far our parish communities have raised $571! Not bad but we're in 16th place! What's much worse though is that we're $81 lower than Fr. Ryan P Glenn from St. Matthew's Parish in East Stroudsburg. I was talking to him the other day and he was bragging that he's ahead. We must beat Fr. Ryan or he will never let me live it down!

GRUPO DE ESCUCHA DE INMIGRACION
¡MAÑANA, 20 DE OCTUBRE A 6:30 PM!

¿Quieres hablar sobre sus experiencias de inmigración y los gozos y dificultades de viviendo en un país nuevo? Hermana Giovana Fuentes, IHM, es una psicóloga licenciada en Perú y facilitará un grupo de escucha y conversación sobre esas experiencias.

El espacio de escucha promoveré y facilitaré un dialogo honesto y respetuoso donde puede hablar sobre sus experiencias de desarraigo de su país de procedencia en búsqueda de una mejor vida.
Expresar libremente sus tristezas, miedos y estrés que puede provocar vivir en un país que no es el suyo ya sea de manera legal o ilegal y como afecta su bienestar y su vida diaria (depresión, problemas de alcohol, violencia familiar, etc.)
Compartir libremente como se sienten vivir en el país que eligieron para vivir junto a su familia y cuanto puede afectar su vida emocional el no haber logrado aprender el idioma del país que los acoge.
Ayudar a los padres entender los desafíos que sus hijos nacidos en este país pueden provocar en ellos una crisis cultural ya que estarán entre la cultura propia de los padres y de la cultura donde nacieron ellos, y ayudar a los padres entender y nombrar sus emociones y sentimientos.
Motivar encontrar la fortaleza y la unidad desde la espiritualidad y la expresión de su fe, propia de los países de procedencia y acoger nuevas expresiones propias del país que los acoge sin perder su identidad cultural.

El grupo comenzaré en 20 de octubre a 6:30 PM a 8:00 PM y reuniré en la rectoría abajo de San Juan Neumann, 633 Orchard Street, y continuaré con dos más sesiones en 27 de octubre y 3 de noviembre.

Only two more days until the Fall Festival! We hope to see you there! Ellen Eiden Patti Mitchell
