Joe are encouraging all of our pa-rishioners to attend! We will have parishioners in the Bible Bowl (Thursday night, June 21st) – come and cheer them on!

Many parishioners are away on vacation, out of the country, or unable to attend due to ill health or travel. During the summer, our parish, like others, experiences less donations, yet our ex-penses continue. If you will be away, please keep up with your offerings and be a good and faithful steward! EUCHRE TOURNAMENT We have this on the 2nd Friday of the month (June 8th and July 13th). Registration is at 6:30pm and Play begins at 7pm. Have you worked before? If you would like to help out for a couple of hours, volunteers would be greatly appreciated. Please contact coordinator Hiam Andoni (810-813-1076 or [email protected]) for more information.
MAINTENANCE FUND As everyone was reminded at our recent 2017 Parish General Assembly, all of our families are asked to give $100 a year ~ above and beyond their regular offerings ~ to help with the constant cost of fixing and repairing things around our complex. This is different than the Improvement Fund enve-lope. If you used the envelope and put $100 or more, it was applied to the Maintenance Fund. To date, we have ONLY 12 families who have fulfilled this offering. Thank you for your generosity!
NORTH END SOUP KITCHEN Please mark your calendars and come help feed the hungry during our once-a-month commitment at the Soup Kitchen on Tuesday, June 26th and July 24th from 9am-12:30pm. If you have questions or want to sign-up, please contact Leslee Abud (810-695-2177). Since our children are out of school, this is a perfect time for the whole family to help “feed the hungry”! CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS We are now able to take Credit or Debit Card purchases and donations. If you would like to make a purchase or a donation, please come to the office during normal Office Hours (see back page) or call to do it by phone.
Office Closed Kelly will be on Vacation June 15th-22nd and Fr. Joe will be at the Midwest Dioce-san Parish Life Conference June 20th-24th.

Apostles Peter and Paul (Boutros and Boulos)
June 29th
he hymns for their Feast speak of Saints Peter and Paul as
leaders (koryphaioi), and chiefs of the Apostles. They are, without a doubt, the foremost in the ranks of the Apostles.
The koryphaioi were leaders of the chorus in ancient Greek tragedy. They set the pattern for the singing, and also for the dance movements and gestures of the chorus. Before Sophocles, there were twelve members of the chorus, and Sts Peter and Paul were the leaders of the twelve Apostles.
Both St Peter and St Paul received new names, indicating a new relationship with God. Simon the fisherman became known as Cephas (John 1:42), or Peter after confessing Jesus as the Son of God (Mt.16:18).
St Peter, the brother of St Andrew, was a fisherman on the sea of Galilee. He was married, and Christ healed his mother-in-law of a fever (Mt.8:14). He, with James and John, witnessed the most important miracles of the Savior's earthly life.
Despite his earlier recognition of Christ as the Son of God, he denied Him three times on the night before the Crucifixion. Therefore, after His Resurrection, the Lord asked Peter three times if he loved Him. Then He told Peter to feed His sheep (John 21:15-17).
After the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, St Peter addressed the crowd (Acts 2:14), and performed many miracles in Christ's name. He baptized Cornelius, the first Gentile convert (Acts 10:48). He was cast into prison, but escaped with the help of an angel (Acts 5:19). St Peter also traveled to many places in order to proclaim the Gospel message. He wrote two Epistles, which are part of the New Testament.
St Peter was put to death in Rome during the reign of Nero. According to Tradition, he asked to be crucified upside down, since he did not feel worthy to die in the same manner as his Lord.
St Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin, and lived in Tarsus in Cilicia. He once described himself as a Hebrew, an Israelite of the seed of Abraham (2 Cor. 11:22). He was also a Pharisee and a tent-maker (Acts 18:3) who had studied the Law with Gamaliel at Jerusalem. At first, he was called Saul and had persecuted the Church. He was present at the stoning of St Stephen (Acts 7: 58). Then, on the road to Damascus, he was converted when Christ appeared to him. Blinded by the vision, he was healed when Ananias laid his hands on him. After his cure, he was baptized (Acts 9:18).
St Paul preached the Gospel in Greece, Asia Minor, and in Rome, and wrote fourteen Epistles. Tradition says that he was martyred in Rome about the year 68.
