Thank You to Liz Tomalis and the Parish

prayer opportunity for all who participated.

gifts of bread and wine in the

HEALTH MINISTRY We will be having Blood
Pressure screenings this weekend, June 13/14
after the Saturday 5:30 p.m., Sunday 7:30
a.m. Masses and between the Sunday 9:30
and 11:30 a.m. Masses. In addition to the BP
screenings, Dr. Tran will be performing vision
screenings and be available for questions
regarding eye health.
We will then take a break from BP
screenings July and August
and resume BP screenings
starting the SECOND weekend
of September (due to Labor Day
Weekend being the first weekend
of the month), and continue the
first full weekend each month thereafter.
A Senior Search Not looking for recent
graduates from high school or college, but for
senior members of the parish. Periodically over
the past several years phone contact has been
made with the senior members of the parish,
who are 80 years of age and older. The
purpose of the calls is simply to let
parishioners know that they are being
remembered and to see if there are any
particular needs with which the Caring Team
can help. The Team cannot provide everything
(e.g. direct medical care, financial assistance,
long term home care, etc.), but there are many
others ways in which helpful assistance can be
offered.
Over the next 3-4 weeks volunteers from
the parish will be making phone contacts to
say hello and to reassure senior members that
the parish family is willing to help when it can.
We are grateful to the more than 20
volunteers who will make the calls to the more
than 300+ octogenarians on the parish census,
especially
Judy
Wenberg,
who
has
coordinated this effort, to Alex Anastasio, who
coordinates the Caring Team, and to those
who graciously provide the services that have
become the hallmark of the Caring Team. God
bless you all for your kindness, time and
energy.
