DEATH IN THE LORD

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Catherine Wendler.  May she be with the Lord of Glory.  R.I.P.

 

PERPETUAL ADORATION

Walking with the Lord, being together in His presence and kneeling before Him, we prostrate before the one who stooped down and gave His life for us.   Won’t you spend ONE HOUR before the Lord in adoration?  We are in need of substitutes, especially for adorers on summer vacation.  Also, if you are interested in a permanent hour, we would like to double-up on adorers so we can eliminate the need for substitutes.    If you can help, please call Oliver at 285-3127 or Vonnie at 397-4300.

OR DO YOU JUST BELONG

Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed, or are you just contented that your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the flock?  Or do you stay at home and criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part to help the work along?  Or are you satisfied to only just belong?

Do you ever go to visit a member who is sick?  Or leave the work to just a few and talk about the clique?

Think this over, member – you know right from wrong!  Are you an active member, or do you just belong?

JUST A REMINDER…..We wouldn’t think of asking you to walk around all during the summer months of July and August with a string on your finger to remind you to please use your weekly offering envelopes this Summer.  Knowing you, we don’t think you would need the reminder anyway.

Our parish bills continue in the Summer months just as they do in other months.  So, we do ask a favor of you – Please Use Your Envelopes Regularly During The Summer And, If You Do Miss A Sunday Or Two While Away On A Well Deserved Vacation, Please Make It Up.

God Bless you and your loved ones and may He keep you safe and well to enjoy the beauty of another Summer and “Thank You” for all you do for our parish.
