FRIARS' MIND

THREE REASONS FOR A PARISH PICNIC

In this age of Disney World, fast-food restaurants, and especially air-conditioning, some have asked why we continue to have our annual summer parish picnic. So I offer three reasons for your reflection.

Parish Community
The first reason for holding a parish picnic is to enrich the parish as a community. Working together for a common cause awakens us to our common faith. It opens our eyes to the talents and generosity of other parishioners. The parish picnic is a community builder for the most important of all communities, our community of faith.

Parish Visibility
The parish is part of a wider church and a wider society. Few things bring us into the public eye as our traditional parish picnic. The fact that so many people ask about our picnic testifies to the impact it has on the community at large.

Parish Stewardship
The picnic is part of the parish budget. This is true in a fuller sense that it is an opportunity to be faithful stewards of our time, talent and treasure and to be inspired by such stewardship on the part of other parishioners.

The picnic is next Sunday. Come and be part of both the labor and the celebration. In doing so you will enrich the community, the parish and yourself.

Frs. Earl & Gilmary

LECTORS NEEDED

Have you ever thought of becoming a Lector or Eucharistic Minister? IF YOU HAVE, LET US KNOW. There is a need for more lectors at the 7 a.m. and ll:30 a.m. Sunday Masses. Also Eucharistic Ministers are needed for the 11:30 a.m. Mass. You will be trained and will probably lector only one Sunday a month. "You have been chosen." Call Sheila White 942-3132 for further information.

NEW PARISH CENTER

I. C. TOMORROW MILESTONE

If you have been following the weekly report on pledge payments for "IC Tomorrow," you will notice that this week we pass a milestone. We have reached the half-million dollar mark! We are ahead of our campaign schedule, thanks to the generosity of so many who have been more than faithful to their pledges. Today's half-million marker is a good time to renew your personal commitment to a new parish center.
