Payment Procedures
(for those who drop off checks and order forms at church)
The basket at the 91st St. entrance to the church which has been
used to drop off Market Day checks and order forms (for parishioners who prefer not to order on-line) tends to wander off or
collect non-Market Day refuse. So that we don’t misplace any
orders or checks, we are asking that you simply place your order
and payment in the collection basket. We will take care of the
rest!
Please know that blank order forms will still be available at the
entrances to the church as always. If you have any questions,
please contact:
Michele Nowak-Lareau [email protected]
or Joylyn Patrick [email protected].
St. Vincent de Paul
Spring Clothing Drive
Saturday, May 16th
Our spring clothing drive to help those in need in our community
is scheduled for Saturday, May 16th, from 10:00 AM until 1:00
PM in the South Hall. We are looking for spring and summer
clothing at this time. You may also donate accessories (purses,
shoes, belts, etc.) baby and children’s clothing; blankets; kitchen
items; linens (sheets, towels, curtains, tablecloths, etc.) and small
working appliances. Please bring only clean, wearable and usable items. If you can't get to the drive on the 16th and would like
a pick-up, please contact Steve Obscherning at 414-559-9146 by
May 13th to arrange one. The less fortunate in our greater community truly benefit from this drive, and we thank you for your
caring and continued generosity.
Oh good and gracious God, we thank you for all you have given
to us. We know that we are blessed with more clothes than we
really need. Help us to share with those who have very little. As
we stand before our closets and look at all we own, open our
hearts to the needs of others and help us to generously give to
our brothers and sisters in need. We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen.

Faith, service and stewardship
Response to Nepal Earthquake
I strongly encourage our prayerful support for those who have died, those suffering, and those assisting in relief
efforts in Nepal. Consider a financial contribution which can be used immediately for relief efforts. Indicate your
donation in the collection basket or to the parish office as “Nepal Earthquake” and we will send those funds to the
Archdiocese, who is forwarding them to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for use by Catholic Relief Services, on the ground in Nepal. You may donate directly to CRS at P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21297-0303 or
www.crs.org. Thank you for your generosity.
Out of Office
Monday, May 4-Wednesday, May 5 I will be out of the office, along with most archdiocesan priests, for the annual
spring assembly of priests in Lake Geneva. This is an important annual opportunity to gather for continuing education, prayer, and priestly fraternity. See the bulletin for the location of our daily Masses Monday and Tuesday,
which will occur at our clustering parishes as those priests are not attending the assembly.
See you at Mass,
Fr. Phillip

Religious Education Registration 2015 - 2016
We are now accepting applications for the 2015-2016 Religious Education Program. Look for a new, exciting

the church and in the Parish Office. If you have any additional questions after picking up your packet, you may
contact our Director of Formation for Children, Abigail Kohal at [email protected] or 414-258-2604.

Hunger Taskforce

Stockbox build
Last Fall we had information and signups for these
Hunger Task Force projects.
The dates were
changed due to availability. Our first night for this was
on April 14th from 5-8 PM. The second date is this
Thursday, May 7th from 5-8 PM. We need between
15 – 25 volunteers on both nights to help build food
stock boxes for seniors. This is for age 12 and over
and individual must be able to lift 30 pounds. I will be
contacting those families that signed up in the fall.
Please call or email me if you are interested in helping
us for this event. Human Concerns Steve Obscherning

Tootsie Roll Drive
The Knights of Columbus will be accepting donations for their Developmentally and Cognitively Disabled programs at Christ King as well as other Milwaukee area organizations this weekend. The Christ
King SPRED Program is a direct beneficiary of part
of these donations. Please consider a donation to
the Tootsie Roll Drive and accept a Tootsie Roll as
the Knights of Columbus’ way of saying “Thank You”
for your contribution.
Box tops for education
Thank you for bringing those Box Tops for Education to
the Parish Office. Our bin is almost full! Please keep
them coming and help us move to a larger container!
What an easy way to contribute to a valuable fundraiser
and help support our school!
Low Gluten Hosts
“For bread to be valid ma
er for the Eucharist, it must be made solely of wheat; contain enough gluten to eﬀect the confec on of bread.” ‐‐“Celiac Disease, Alcohol Intolerance, and the Church's Pastoral Response” from the Commi ee on Divine Worship NewsleƩer, October 2012 © 2012, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops The Church reminds us of this fact on a fairly regular basis. But this is of concern among an escalating number of
Catholics who suffer from Celiac Sprue disease or some form of gluten intolerance.
In an attempt to try to be more inclusive of those who are so afflicted, low-gluten hosts will be made available at
the Sunday Masses, beginning this weekend. These hosts are not gluten-free, though the level is extremely low
(less than twenty parts per million [<20 ppm]) and are therefore in strict adherence to Canon Law.
If you are intolerant of gluten and would like to receive one of these hosts, the priest will have them available in
his ciborium. Get into his line at the Communion procession and indicate this fact when you receive. The hosts
will be placed in a special container to help minimize cross contamination.
The reality is that the trace amounts of gluten that is contained in the low-gluten hosts or the residue that may
cling to Father’s hands after handling the regular hosts may still make it impossible for some to receive the Holy
Eucharist under the form of bread. If this is the case, we encourage you to receive the Blessed Sacrament under
the form of wine, and remind you that the Church teaches that under either species of bread or wine, the whole
Christ is received. Therefore, be confident that the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is received, even under
only one or the other species.

Have you ever thought about taking the next step? Perhaps you
have never been part of a Christian community or never been
baptized, but now you have felt drawn to begin this journey of
faith in Jesus Christ. Perhaps you’ve been baptized and raised in
another Christian tradition, but now you want to continue your
life of faith in the Catholic Church ... or at least explore what that
means. If either of these describes you, we would very much
like to hear from you. We want to listen to your story of faith or
non-faith, answer your questions, and share with you the beauty,
truth, and wonder of the Catholic faith. If you want to know
more, please contact the Parish Office at 414-258-2604.
