SPECIAL COLLECTION
Today we support the Holy Father in
his charitable works. The Peter’s Pence
Collection is taken up worldwide to
support the most disadvantaged: victims
of war, oppression, and natural disasters
and others in need of emergency
assistance. Pope Benedict XVI has said,
“It is necessary above all that every
person be motivated by the authentic
spirit of peace” (Homily, January 1,
2011). Cast the peace of Christ upon the
world—please be generous in today’s
Collection.

celebration of sacraments. The duties would require weekly commitments, based on a
schedule, and quarterly meetings. Adult (21 years and older) men and women are invited to
join. The ladies that currently launder the church linens are encouraged to join this
society. Please come to an informational meeting on Saturday June 30th after the 8:00 am Mass

Director of Liturgy & Music, 251-9838.
Pro-Life Activities
It cannot be taken for granted that human
life in itself is a gift. Can it really be a
beautiful gift? …Can we foresee to what
troubles, what terrible events he might be
exposed? … It is a problematic gift, if it is
left to itself. Biological life is in itself a gift,
but it is surrounded by a great question. It
becomes a true gift only if, along with it,
we are given a promise that is stronger
than any evil that could threaten us, if it is
immersed in a power that ensures that it is
good to be human, that there will be good
for this person no matter what the future
brings. Thus, with birth is associated
rebirth, the certitude that, truly, it is good
to be alive, because the promise is
stronger than evil.

THANK
YOU!!!
We couldn’t have a successful
Vacation Bible School without
our volunteers. Thank you to
our numerous youth and adult
volunteers.
Thank you to our participants
for filling up the Food Pantry
and the many t-shirt school
supply donations for our Kids-2Kids mission project.
If you had fun, please plan to
join us next year “Where Kids
Stand
Strong
for
KINGDOM ROCK.

The theme for this year’s Fiesta is Hope. Fiesta T-shirts will display this theme with the
word Faith printed on the front of the shirts with the phrase “The substance of all things
hoped for”. The shirts will come in two colors: Light Gold and Sapphire Blue and in all
sizes at a cost of $10 each. T-shirts will be sold beginning the weekend of June 30 and July 1
after all masses, and will continue to be on sale throughout the summer.
Raffle tickets are available for pickup after all masses. We should all do our best to buy/sell
as many tickets as possible. Ticket prices are $5 each or 5 for $20. There are nine great
prizes, with the biggest prize being a 2012 Ford Escape with a MSRP value of $24,485. The
vehicle can be seen parked in the breezeway on weekends. The other prizes are: A five night
Caribbean Cruise valued at $900; an Apple iPad valued at $500; a $500 grocery card; a Six
Burner Stainless Gas Grill valued at $450; a $350 Visa gift card; a $300 dining trio at Ruth’s
Chris, Carabba’s and Pappa’s Fine Dining; a $300.00 gas card, and finally a $250 Visa gift
card. This is over $28,000 worth of prizes.
The odds of wining are greater this year than last year as only half the number of tickets
were printed this year.
Each family is challenged to sell $100 worth or 25 tickets per family. Are you and your
family up to the challenge?
The top three sellers of raffle tickets will be given Visa gift cards in the amount of $100, $75
and $50 respectively.
The BBQ/Bingo Fiesta kickoff event will be Saturday, September 22, 2012, followed by the
Fiesta on Sunday, September 30, 2012. Block out these two days on your calendars.
Committee members are working out the details for these two events, but you can be sure
there will be lots of food, games, and entertainment for the whole family.
Father Pedro and Father Steve assure us the weather will be just fine on these two weekends.
Let us all pray for God’s blessing and remember, it is the parish family that ultimately wins
overall!!!! Watch for more bulletins in the coming weeks.
The Knights of Columbus Council
is selling breakfast tacos after the 7:30
and 9:30 masses and BBQ chickens after

breakfast or lunch to enjoy at home

the afternoon.
