FRIARS' MIND

This final month before the annual Parish Picnic we seem to enter into a "time warp" where the weeks and days will slip by unnoticed and July 20 will appear out of no where. But our picnic director, Sue Steidel, has been faithful to a well organized plan to keep us on schedule and ready for the big day.

This year's picnic will have some new features. We will offer baked chicken as well as the traditional fried chicken. And we will have extra equipment to keep an ample supply of freshly fried chicken to meet a large crowd.

Also, there will be a live auction in the afternoon from four to five. The beer stand will have a new look. Miniature Golf and Hockey Shot, so popular last year, will be back but in a more convenient location. Ride tickets will again be sold in advance to offer a discount for our parishioners.

The main raffle this year is for a total of $1,000.00 in prizes: $600.00, $300.00, and $100.00. You will receive raffle tickets in the mail for your own use or to sell to friends. The odds much better than the lottery! Better to have a realistic shot at six hundred dollars than an infinitesimal chance a six million.

There has been a generous response to the appeals for help so far, but now we enter into the final weeks which demand that extra effort. There is a list of special needs in today's bulletin. Look it over and consider where you can help. The picnic is more enjoyable and more memorable when you are part of the action. Give Sue Steidel, our picnic director, a call at 349-1432.

A FATHER'S DAY BLESSING

May God bless you and guide you
in your very special role as a father.
May it always be a joy and a privilege.
May you treasure your children
from their birth through adulthood,
as unique and precious gifts from God.
May God reward your fatherly love with good
health, peace of mind, contentment in your
work and joy in your leisure.
And may God bless all our fathers
who have gone to their rest.
May they find comfort in the arms of

our heavenly Father. Amen.
