Our list of altar servers shrinks every year as these young men and women get older. This is an urgent appeal especially to the parents of young people who are in third grade and older to have them consider becoming an altar server. Generally the young people do want to serve, but the problem is that parents are not always willing to bring them for serving. Thank you to those parents who are enabling their children to serve! Please call the parish office ( ) to give your name and contact information and you will be contacted! ANY ADULT WILLING TO SERVE IS WELCOME! Thanks! Fr. Gil BISHOP S SERVICES APPEAL EXPLAINED Bishop Deshotel, our present bishop, has offered the following way to conduct this year s appeal each parish will be given a goal to reach and it will be determined in this way: taking the total Sunday offertory for the previous fiscal year, multiplying it by 7%, and that gives the goal. If the parish collects more that the goal, then half of everything over the goal will be returned to the parish. So, there is an incentive for the parish to give generously! As we have in the past, we will take a second collection on the third Sunday of each month for the B.S.A. Those who have church support envelopes will have it in their packet; you can give on-line at the parish website! (Our parish goal is: $60,383)! UPDATE To date, we have donated a total of $32,913 This is 54% of our goal! Thanks to those who have pledged and to those of you who are donating regularly!

Contact Terri Frederick for more details ( ) A Prayer for Hurricane Season O God Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving God. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.
