A Life Saved (You may remember reading last fall that the Warren Pregnancy Support Center officially affiliated with the Women s Care Center of Erie County to promote women s health and prevent aborons. Please enjoy reading below an encouraging story about the good work they are doing) On a warm day in May, 2017 a young, shy, and frightened couple came in to the Center for their scheduled pregnancy test/intake appointment. Sandy had been a virgin before she met Tom. They were tested and needed to be treated for two STI s and Sandy also found out that she had a UTI. They had only been together for five months and now find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy and feel aboron is the best opon. This client lost her virginity, contracted two STI s, a UTI, and now a pregnancy all during her first short sexual relaonship. Tom broke down and cried blaming himself for everything he had put her through. They returned to the Center to have a limited ultrasound to confirm and date the pregnancy as well as to allow them to see their baby. They received medical treatment and counseling on their opons and aer several visits to the Center and many phone calls they chose LIFE! To prepare for the birth of this lile unplanned miracle they took as many classes as possible28 WCC Stepping Stones classes, childbirth classes, newborn care class, and the breaseeding class. Aending all of these classes not only prepared them for being parents but they earned several baby items as well!! Their beauful baby girl was born on Christmas Day 2017 during the record breaking snow fall! They are so in love with this lile one and couldn t imagine life without her. They have thanked us again and again stang We don t know what we would have done without you ladies at WCC!

4 Page 4 Holy Redeemer Parish, Warren, PA Picnic Reservaon Form If you are able to join us for our Annual Picnic, it would be helpful for our planning if you filled out a reservaon form and returned it in the collecon basket next week or bring to the office by June 4 th. Extra reservaon forms can be found in the gathering space. If you don t remember to do so, or find yourself available at the last moment, come anyway as there always seems to be enough food at these parish dinners. BYOC Bring Your Own Chair next Sunday. If the weather is favorable next Sunday (of course it will) you may want to bring a comfortable lawn chair for the outdoor Mass and picnic to follow. If not, we will provide chairs from the parish center. Community Worship Service Coming August 19 th. Believe it or not, August 19th is just around the corner. We hope you can join us at the Struthers Library Theater that day at 10:00 am for our Warren Community Worship Service! Our speaker this year will be Warren's own George Lilga! Thoughts While Driving. I spend an houranda half in the car every me I drive to Erie, so I have lots of me to think/pray. A recent thought occurred to me as I listened on public radio about all the money our country spends on weapon s systems millions/ billions(s) of dollars to protect our country. (These are weapons that we pray will never be used.) More and more I wonder if these dollars might be beer spent to provide health care, beer schools, safe bridges and roads, living wage jobs for all Americans, etc. Isn t America best protected by healthy and educated cizenry, a safe infrastructure, and a few more things you can add? Something to think about. Catholics and Muslims: Friends or Adversaries? This is the tle of a 2page explanaon of the similaries and differences between the two religions. (Hint: There are more similaries than differences.) This paper is published by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops in Washington, D.C. With all the misconcepons out there about Islam/ Muslim faith, it would do us all well to get more acquainted with our cousins in the faith. I say cousins because Islam, Judaism and Chrisanity all trace themselves back to a common father: Abraham of the Old Testament. Immigraon Reform. Many people in our country, including many of our elected officials, have been warning Americans for years that our naon s immigraon system is broken and needs repair. What some of you also know is that the U.S. Senate had draed a plan in July of 2013 with very specific recommendaons to address this breakdown. This plan was, in fact, so popular that it passed the Senate with 67 votes or a twothirds majority. Unfortunately the Bill died in the U.S. House of Representaves. If you would like to read the contents of this very popular Senate Bill 744, I have copied it and placed it in the Gathering Space. (It is in bright YELLOW.) The copy you ll see is actually a copy of the leer that Senator Bob Casey sent to one of our parishioners who was inquiring about immigraon reform recently. The full name of the Bill was: Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigraon Modernizaon Act. Who is Eligible to be a Blood Donor? These are the condions for donors: 1.) Must weigh at least 110 lbs., 2.) Must be in general good health. 3.) No taoos or piercings from a taoo parlor within the last year. 4.) Must be 17 years or older, 16 years old with a signed parental consent form. Photo I.D. is REQUIRED. Bapzed in Christ. Next Saturday we will welcome into the Faith and parish Owen Andrick Skerda, son of Andy and Stephanie (Campbell) Skerda, brother of Kendall, and grandson of Deacon Phil and Maureen Skerda. St. Joseph Rummage Sale. This annual sale to benefit St. Joseph School takes place June Pick up a flier in the gathering space with all the details, including DropOff Dates.

5 June 3, 2018 Holy Redeemer Parish, Warren, PA Page 5 Divorced and Separated and the Sacraments Many Catholics do not know that divorced or separated Catholics living again in the single state are welcome and encouraged to receive Communion each me they celebrate Mass. They are also welcome to be sponsors for Bapsm and Confirmaon. The only hindrance as for any other single or married person would be serious sin in your life. In that case, you should go to confession to be forgiven and then approach the altar for the Eucharist. Looking Out For One Another. Always look around at the people who sit near you in church. If one of them goes missing for a few weeks, don t be afraid to call them to see if they are OK. Also, when there is a death in the family, it can be difficult coming back to Mass, especially if you have to do it alone. Why not call them and invite them to join you? Pastor Council Members. Please pick up your packets aer mass next week in preparaon for the June 12th meeng at 7:00 pm at St. Anthony Church. A Family Perspecve One gets the impression there was always a lot of sharing, discussion and learning during the many meals Jesus and the disciples ate together. How does this compare to the meals in your home? Today s gospel challenges us to make our meals more than physical funcons and more a me for sharing. Marriage Moments. "Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direcon." (Antoine De SaintExupery) The lile prince knew something of marriage. Look out over your life and see beyond the crabgrass. What is your most cherished common goal? Moving? To a New Home or a Nursing Home? When moving anywhere, it is always appreciated if you would call the church office so that we can connue sending you parish mailings if you are remaining in the Warren area. Also, in cases where a person will be moving to a Nursing Home or Assisted Living facility, we like to know so that we can arrange for parish visitors and bringing Communion.
