Please remember them in your prayers. Some of you may have missed our announcement last weekend of the new Pastor for St. Philip starting July 1 st. Bishop Ricken has named Fr. José to this position. At every mass I announced this news it was met with applause and appreciation. I would echo this response. This means that effective July 1 st, I will end my pastoral obligations at St. Philip and Fr. José will end his at St. Bernard. Fr. José and I will continue to collaborate and work closely together helping each other out and continuing our friendship. As we move into a modest time of transition please be patient with any oversights or miscommunications that are apt to happen in events like this. Thank you for your understanding. We are excited for Fr. José and promise our prayers for him in this new role. It has been some time since we have had a Vacation Bible School at the parishes. We are blessed that St. Bernard will be hosting a Vacation Bible School July 29-August 2. This is a week long program. My experience with VBS has been very positive. These can be a fun and engaging way for smaller children to enjoy and encounter with God and the Church. Join us! I anticipate also being present for a portion of it. This year s theme for Vacation Bible School is Mary leads me closer to Jesus complete with a Kingdom Party! How s that for a great theme we could all learn from! It is for ages 4-11, and will take place at St. Bernard School. The time runs from 9:00am-Noon. There is a cost of 30$/child and includes a T-shirt. There is a 5$ discount for each child in a family, (second is 25, third is 20). There is an early bird registration by June 6 th, which includes a 5$ discount. Part of this program has been funded by a grant from the Diocese of Green Bay, and we are very grateful for that! You may contact Kathy Gibson if you have further questions at 360-2113.

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER PAGE 4 St. Bernard Parish News St. Bernard School Kay Franz-School Principal The Sussification of Romeo and Juliet St. Bernard School has partnered with the J. R. Kroc Center to produce a theatrical production of The Sussification of Romeo and Juliet. The play involves about 40 students in grades 5,6, & 7 as actors, actresses and stage crews. There will be an evening performance at the J.R. Kroc Center at 6:30 on May 23, 2013. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. To Seussify or not to Suessify Shakespeare s works, it seems, did not bother the playwright Peter Bloedel. He wrote a most wonderful play The Sussification Of Romeo And Juliet, in which he turns Shakespeare s tragedy Romeo And Juliet into a comedy, using the famous children s writer Dr. Seuss s style of poetry. The interaction between the Capitulates and Monotones originally Capulets and Montagues is characterized by some insane moments of hilarity. The story of Romeo and Juliet ended on a happy note, unlike in the original play. The only tragic aspects are that Romeo keeps being disappointed in love while clumsy Juliet trips and falls frequently. MISSING Yellow Print, Cloth Bag containing a Pyx (a holder to bring Holy Communion to the Homebound). It was set on the table just outside of the Sacristy. It has sentimental value and the owner would really like it back. If found please return it to the ushers room and place it in the cabinet on the left hand wall. Thank You! Congratulations To The Raffle Winners!

Health Ministry Ann Kaufmann, Parish Nurse SMOKING AND COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious lung disease that gradually makes it harder and harder to breathe. COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. How severe your symptoms are depends on the extent of lung damage. If you keep smoking, the damage will get worse faster than if you stop smoking. Among 15 million US adults with COPD, 39% continue to smoke. How is smoking related to COPD? COPD, the number 3 killer in the nation, is almost always caused by smoking. Smoking accounts for as many as 9 out of 10 COPD-related deaths. COPD most often occurs in people age 40 and older with a history of smoking (either current or former smokers). However, as many as 1 out of 6 people with COPD never smoked. Smoking during childhood and teenage years can slow how lungs grow and develop. This can increase the risk of developing COPD in adulthood. How can COPD be prevented? The best way to prevent COPD is to never start smoking and if you smoke, quit. Talk with your health care provider about programs and products that can help you quit. Also, stay away from secondhand smoke, which is smoke in the air from other people smoking.
