BIBLE SCHOOL –VBS will be next Saturday, June 23; we are looking for children age’s 6-11 for sign-ups.  . We are hoping all our children, will participate.  There will be tables in the front of the Church, this Sunday, with sign-up sheets for anyone not signed up yet. Anyone still wishing to volunteer their time (both Youth and Adult) may do so at this time. Anyone who wishes to purchase a t-shirt can do so, the cost will be $12.00 per shirt and must be paid by Tuesday June 19^th so it can be received in time for VBS. 

P.S. - The Knights of Columbus will be doing hamburgers and hot dogs after Mass on the 23rd. They are asking Parishioners to bring a side dish of your choice. We hope to have a Great Turnout on that day.

 

FATHER’S DAY – I would like to wish all fathers, grandfathers, etc. A very happy, peaceful and blessed fathers day. We hear much about neglectful fathers but we rarely hear anything about good fathers and there are so many of them too.  God Bless You All.

CHOOSE LIFE – One of the many tragedies of abortion on demand is the emotional impact abortion has on the father of the baby. Often he is not consulted and, even when he is, like the mother he knows he was part of a decision that ended a human life, the human life of his child. Fathers need to become more outspoken defenders of the helpless unborn child.
