HEALING
MASS…This coming
Friday June 5th is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many
people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray God for health of
mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of
Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and
conversation.

3.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. B.F. Skinner (1904-1990)
4.
An Englishman thinks that he is moral when he is only uncomfortable. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
5. The Christian ideal has not been tried
and found wanting. It has been found difficult, and left untried. (G.K. Chesterton)
6.
I am frank about myself in this book. I tell of my first mistake on page 850. Henry Kissinger (b. 1923)
7.
It’s not that I’m afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when
it happens. Woody Allen (b. 1935)
CHOOSE LIFE… The feast of Pentecost reminds us that
we in the pro-life movement are called to be channels of God’s Word:
“Counteracting the culture of death demands a prophetic spirituality… We speak
the prophetic word that challenges society to recognize the unborn as brothers and
sisters, and to therefore repent of practices and policies that destroy them or put them
at risk.” (Jim Pinto, Jr. Coordinator of
Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, Priests for Life Newsletter, July-August, 2006)
FIVE
WAYS TO MAKE YOUR PARISH A BETTER PLACE
Think of yourself
as a part of your parish family. Family members don’t always agree, but they do feel
a strong commitment to the family.
Use your gifts
and talents for the good of the parish. If you’re a singer, public speaker, musician
or just a friendly, helpful person, get involved as a lector, usher, greeter,
extraordinary minister of Holy Communion or part of the parish music ministry.
Attend parish
events. Whether it’s a mission, a lecture or lawn fete, it’s important to
support the spiritual, education and social parts of parish life. Invite family members
and friends to join you!
Support your parish
financially. Parishes need your help with operational expenses, energy costs, supplies and
maintenance. Be generous.
Pray. Keep your
pastor, the parish staff and the parishioners in your daily prayers. Pray also for the
return of Catholics who have strayed from practice of their faith.
