SINCERE GRATITUDE – I would like to thank Donna Mumme and Tara Trost and anybody else who helped with our wonderful one day Summer School Bible School. I feel that this was a very worth while experience for our some 25 plus children who participated. The enthusiasm of the children at the 9:00 Mass Wednesday morning was most encouraging for me. Father Ruane   

 

FLOWERS – The beautiful flowers in our Church this weekend are in memory of Lenora Marascalco. The flowers were provided by her daughter Denise Hinkle.

 

CONGRATULATIONS – We congratulate and pray Gods’ Blessings on Joe Liberto and Jennifer White who will be married at St. Peter Catholic Church this July 19th.

 

FAREWELL – Nikki Palazzolo and her family will be leaving our community for a new home in Minnesota

Nikki has directed our choir and Sam her husband takes care of our grounds. As a token of appreciation we will have a Church Family Farewell Breakfast on Sunday July 6th. Please plan to participate.

 

THE RENEW PROGRAM “Why Catholic?” is coming to our diocese and parish soon. “Why Catholic? A Journey Through the Catechism” is a great way to take a new look at what we believe and why we believe it.  It is a simple process, short meetings, and limited commitment.  Come join a small group and discover your faith more deeply.  “Why Catholic?” will begin its first small group sessions in the fall.  More information will be available in the upcoming weeks.      

 

WELCOME, NEWCOMERS! We welcome newcomers to our parish and we encourage those who are new in the parish to register as parishioners.  Newcomers with children are encouraged to register their children in the Parish School of Religion in August.  New parishioner registration forms can be found on the bulletin board in the vestibule or may be picked up at the Parish Rectory.    

 

                                                          WORTH WHILE QUOTES

1. Yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift: that’s why we call it the present.  J. Walker                   

2. Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.  Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

3. When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

 

CHOOSE LIFE – The Dutch euthanasia movement, not content with euthanasia for people who want to die, has moved on to creating guidelines for people who can’t decide to die so they can be empowered to receive this “good.” “The point is that killing that starts out as a right, soon becomes thought of as a good that all should share in.” Wesley Smith, The Southern Cross, 5/12/05
