Remember

Have you been yet to Resurrection's Bingo at Kolping House? Doors open at 4:30, Bingo starts at 6:30pm. Parishioners and non-parishioners alike have been very favorable, and proceeds go to our church and school. Large non-smoking level.

We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book and Directory. It is again being subsidized by local businesses who advertise in it. If you want to help by advertising in the book, please call the church office. Recent surveys show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize our Guide Book and Directory advertisers over a non-advertiser. It does pay to advertise in our Guide Book and Directory.

from the Pastor's Pen

Father's Day brought some tender thoughts to our family, as it was the first time for this holiday since our father passed away. The absence is increased as times like these. I can sympathize with so many of you who have lost someone close-in this case, maybe your father, grandfather, or your husband, for whom you helped the kids all these years celebrate his day. It's a strange paradox that at a time like this, when the absence is sharper, a sense of presence is also stronger, in thoughts and memories, and in a spiritual presence that is very real. Somehow we're able to make it and go on with an extra sense of something with us.
Last week I offered the topic of summer for a Catholic Christian. We are very busy, functional people, even in retirement; we thrive on things to "do." As the weather warms up (gradually, but it is) and we may be outdoors more, and even maybe have extra time off, we have to cope with not always having something to "do." It may even be difficult for us to relax, but the call is to open up and see how much more is going on around us than we've been noticing. Observing nature in the birds, trees, water, or whatever, we remember that the first name for God is Creator: the amazing power to bring something out of nothing. Our focus can open up from those regular tasks we need to do for our family and home, to see that we are part of something much greater. In times when we are relaxed, we can get a sense of God with us and our loved ones that we can't always feel when we are so busy with our usual things. This time is not an extra or something lazy; rather it's very closely related to prayer. That's why it's called "re-creation", being created again by the one who did it the first time. Then bring this sense back into church and notice the simple created elements we use to pray with-bread, wine, water, and ordinary people.

REMEMBER THE KIDS Our food pantry offers a pretty cut and dry menu to our clients - mac & cheese, peanut butter, pork & beans, and hot dogs are standard fare. Not much variety, but plenty of protein. Please think of the children in the neighborhood when you buy for Parish Help this summer. Some treats such as cookies, pre-sweetened Kool aid, or fruit juices would surely be gobbled up.
FANS: Once again it is time to ask for fans. New, used in good condition or donations to buy them.
YOUR HELPING HANDS Please continue to use the yellow donation envelope in your packet. Your donations enable us to help many people.
Along with St. Vincent de Paul, we concentrate much of our effort on parishioners.
