CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL – Many
dioceses right here in the United States do not have
enough priests and trained lay ministers to serve their
parishes.
These dioceses are known as home
missions. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will
take place this weekend and supports these dioceses
by funding essential ministries, including seminary
education and lay minister training. Please be
generous in this appeal to strengthen the Church at home.

YOUR PRAYERS ARE
REQUESTED FOR:
ANOTHER YEAR has come to an end. It has been a good year
with much faith and joy being shared by our children and catechists.
With classes on hold till the fall, parents please remember that
learning about our faith does not take a vacation. As the first and
most important teachers of our faith, be sure to pray with them,
review what they learned this year, get them to mass every Sunday
(even if you are on vacation), be a strong model of faith by your
actions and words, go to reconciliation together, shop together for
the Food Pantry, and encourage them to help a neighbor or do a
chore at home without expectation of payment. The list of things you
can do to live our faith can go on forever. Enjoy your children this
summer and enjoy sharing our precious faith through the joys of
everyday life.
LOOK WHAT’S COMING!!!!
