St. Cyril of Jerusalem
Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 20, 2004
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor
free person, there is not male and female; for you are all
one in Christ Jesus.
-- Galatians 3:28
A speciAl “THANK YOU”
Since the establishment of our Parish over 50 years ago,
St. Cyril’s has been truly blessed with men and women who
have generously given of their time to our various parish
organizations, contributing so much to the social, spiritual
and fundraising activities which are all vital to the functioning of a parish; namely, our Men’s Club, Christian Service
Program, Music Ministry, Eucharistic Ministers to the Altar,
Hospitals and Homebound, Pre-School and Religious Education, Altar Servers, Lectors, Ushers, Bereavement Group,
Parish Outreach Program, Christian Meditation Group,
School Volunteers, Altar Society, RCIA, Respect Life and
Youth Ministry.
In appreciation, I invite you to join me for a “Thank You”
reception to be given on Sunday, June 27th, following the
12:00 Noon Mass in our Parish Hall. At that time you will
also have an opportunity to say “adieu” to another long-time
volunteer, Sister Gretta Stewart. After 20 years of working
in several of our ministries, she has decided that it is now
time to join her sisters at their Montebello Home where, no
doubt, she will continue to use her many talents. Sister Gretta will be leaving in July. We will miss her warmth, sunny
disposition and great sense of humor.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday, June 27th!
Gratefully,
Monsignor Bell

2004 ANNUAL APPEAL
This year’s Annual Appeal will come to a close on Wednesday, June 30th. Final reminders are being mailed to those
still owing a balance on their monthly pledges. With the
fulfillment of these outstanding balances, this year’s Appeal
will realize donations totaling $55,220.00, surpassing our
assigned goal of $53,399.80 by $1,820.20.
The Lord has said, “As long as you did it to one of these,
the least of my brethren, you did it unto me.” Your generous response to this Appeal means you have touched the
person of Christ Himself. May He abundantly reward your
generosity.
Gratefully,
Rest In Peace:
Eternal rest grant unto Rosa Maria Avendano, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the
souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest
in peace. Amen
Peter’s Pence APPeAl
Next week, Sunday, June 27th, our parish is
asked to participate in the Peter’s Pence Appeal

enables John Paul II, the Holy Father, to respond
to requests for emergency funds for the most disadvantaged
throughout the world. This special appeal is an opportunity
to demonstrate justice and kindness to our brothers and sisters in need. Please pray for the Holy Father’s works and
contribute generously to the appeal.
