THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SUNDAY, July 1st, 2018
Parish Outreach Ministry
Pantry: Thank you for all of the donations of non-perishable food items that came in this past week. It is always appreciat-ed. There are certain items in our pantry that are always needed; these would include toilet paper, paper towels, soap, toothpaste, and shampoo. Food stamps do not cover these items. Therefore, it is quite helpful if families can acquire them at Outreach. Blood Drive: Our Parish’s 3rd and last blood drive will take place on Sunday, July 15 from 8:45 to 2:45. There is a seri-ous blood emergency and with the approaching 4th of July holiday many people go on vacation, therefore, blood dona-tions will be significantly lower. Types O-, B- and A- are all at critical levels. Please consider becoming a donor and as a result lives will be saved. Thank You & God Bless!
For the summer we will have two Precious Blood Eucharistic
ministers at Mass. If you are receiving Precious Blood, please
stand in front of the Eucharistic minister to receive.
Thank you.
BAPTISMS
Gavin James Price Alexander Luis Perez
Owen Christopher Mazurkiewicz George Edward Ferrante Zachary Andrew Kenny

Altar Bread & Wine for the week of July 1st to July 7th has been donated
in loving memory of Thomas Murphy,
requested by Clare & family.
Altar Candles for the month of July have been donated in loving memory of
Michael B. Kelsey, requested by Aunt Linda & Uncle Rich.
Summer Dress Attire
With the warmer weather upon us, please try to dress appropriately when entering the Lord’s house. For example, no beach
attire….attire should be of a modest nature.
THANK YOU.
Take An Active Part at Mass
Represent the community by taking part in the Presentation of the Gifts at Mass each weekend.
Please notify one of the ushers when you arrive at Mass that you would like to do this. The ushers need to know no later than TEN minutes before
Mass begins, so please be considerate.
The programs and services supported by the Appeal have a significant impact on hundreds of thousands of pa-
rishioners throughout our Diocese.
Whatever you are able to give, large or small, will be accepted gratefully. Please keep in mind your gift is
payable over ten months. To make a pledge, simply fill out the form below and place it in the collection basket or
mail it back to the parish office. Thank you for your support and continued generosity.

GOAL TO DATE LAST YEAR
Did you know because of the Catholic Ministries
Appeal last year….
We delivered or served more than 550,000 meals to
senior citizens and young families.
Parish outreach centers, including our food pantries,
assisted more than 100,000 families.
Our Office of Hospital Ministry served more than
300,000 people in local hospitals.
12,000 volunteer Catechists taught Religious Educa-
tion to more than 110,000 of our children in public
schools.

tions and 3,000 Weddings.
We provided safe and affordable housing for

Our parish received a cash rebate of more than
$12,000 which helped to offset expenses needed to
maintain our building and to fund the many pro-
grams we offer. Please consider making a pledge to this most worthy
charity. We need the help of every parish family to
reach our goal of $52,300. You have until January 31,

Join Us With Mary When life got overwhelming and too big for us as children, we turned to our mother for support and guidance. As adults, we thank her for all she had done for us. Now we are blessed with the op-portunity to turn to our Heavenly Mother Mary to ask for her support and guidance, and thank her for the many blessings she has given us. Every Wednesday after 9:00 AM mass (at 9:30), you are invited to join us as we pray the rosary to ask for her help and guid-ance and to thank her for her abounding love.
