Homebound Eucharist If you or someone you know is homebound and would like to receive Holy Communion, please contact the Parish Office or Michelle Gillette- Lacko 952-440-4970 FROM FATHER TOM’S DESK Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist: When certain important feasts fall on a Sunday, they take priority. Today we celebrate with great joy the Birth of St. John the Baptist. He was called to prepare the way for the Lord. We remember with delight that even before he was born, he began that work – leaping with joy in his mother’s womb when Mary came to visit Elizabeth. In many ways, he is the patron for all of us. Each of us can help others prepare the way for Jesus to come into their lives. Vision 2020 Update: We’re well into one of the promised improvements made possible by your Vision 2020 donations. Over the summer we will be replacing most of the lights in the school and church with more energy efficient lighting. Over the next several years, the large savings in our electric bills will pay for the cost of the conversion. The new lights for the school have already arrived, and the installation is almost complete! The lights we need for the church will arrive a little later this summer. They will not only be much more energy efficient (and give off far less heat) but will also help make it easier to read worship aids and hymnals. We’re now just over 2 years into our 3 year capital campaign, and we’ve received over $1.5 million with total pledges over $1.8 million toward our challenge goal of $2 million. Thank you to the many families who have already contributed. If your family hasn’t made a gift to the campaign, it’s not too late. Reaching our goal will help us put aside additional funds for future repair projects. For example, we have learned that our air conditioning unit in the church is on its last legs. We hope to keep a healthier balance in our reserves so that we can address the needs as they arise.

Seeking Friendship with Other Ladies from St. Michael?
Consider joining our WINE group this Fall. WINE: Women In the New Evangelization. Through much prayer, the women who have come together from around the country to form WINE, came to understand that whereas the Lord said to St. Francis, “Rebuild my Church,” for such a time as this, the Lord is calling to women, asking us to work in the beauty of our natural gifts as women. As we learn through one another in shared experiences, together we build a stronger faith and become a living example of the life God has chosen for us to live. Join us in our journey. A special thank you to Rhonda Zweber, who brought WINE to our Parish. Questions, please call Annie Sheehan-Kerber 612.747.3682 or Vicki Goblirsch 612.280.5572 Co-Chairs

Please Note:
During the months of June and July, SCRIP will be sold only after weekend Masses at the church. It will not be available for sale at the school or Parish Office. Sales from the school office will resume on Aug 1. Scrip is a powerful fundraising tool where families simply do their regular weekly shopping with gift cards from their favorite retailers. This helps generate revenue for the church at no cost to the participants because they are making purchases they would make anyway, including: groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, & gasoline.
