SMILE…
Every so often, we need something to put a smile on our faces. It seems
that there are so many challenging things happening, that sometimes we just need
a little something to make us smile.
Not long ago, a parishioner sent me this: A little girl was talking to her
teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale
to swallow a human even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very
small. The little girl said that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the
teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically
impossible. The little girls said, “When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah.” The
teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you
ask him.”
Periodically I will print other humorous stories and anecdotes. If anyone
has any they want to share, email them to me at:

REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS
We
ask you to remember
in your prayers the soul of Richard Suchy who died
last week and was buried from our parish. May he have eternal rest in the
peace of God’s kingdom.
HOME MISSION OFFERING
This
weekend we will accept offerings for the
Catholic Home Mission Appeal. Right now, over 40% of dioceses in the United
States are considered home mission territory because they are unable to fund
the essential pastoral work needed in their communities. Your support funds
programs such as religious education, seminary formation, and lay ministry
training, to build vibrant faith communities right here in the United
States. Please be generous.
CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS
As
Memorial Day approaches, our Catholic War Veterans Post 613 prepares to have
its annual Poppy Distribution. This activity enables the Post to continue
their welfare programs for our veterans and their families. They will be
distributing poppies and accepting donations after all the Masses the
weekend of May 26-27. Please be generous in supporting their work.
