Both will serve the Parish for three years. Congratulations to all the elected and thank you to all those who ran for the office! CALLING ALL READERS, ALTAR SERVERS, GREETERS AND EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF COMMUNION! We will have important gathering/ refresher training for all of you on Wednesday, June 20th, at 6:30 PM in the St. Patrick Parish Hall. Fr. Jacob Rouse will speak to us about the importance of the ministries of the Church. Following the talk we will break out in groups to discuss/refresh you on your particular ministry. While many aspects of your ministries will be unchanged, we need to come together to ensure we are all fulfilling our ministries in the same way. This helps promote liturgical excellence and ensures we are offering our best to God, our parishioners and visitors at Mass. It is also an opportunity for you meet to one another and share any questions/concerns. WE NEED GREETERS TO SAY HELLO WHEN FOLKS ARRIVE AT MASS It could mean so much. A handshake, a smile, a kind word, and and perhaps occasionally a hug -- that's pretty much the job description of a church greeter. Greeters play a vital role in welcoming every person who comes in the doors of St. Patrick Church. As a Greeter, you help our guests form their first impression of our parish even before the first song begins. One half hour on a Saturday afternoon/sunday morning is all it takes to be a part of this vital ministry. We need adults as well as kids 6th through 12th grade (students can earn service hours by serving). Please attend the ministry meeting on Wednesday, June 20th at 6:30 PM in the St. Patrick Parish Hall. JUST BE YOUR WARM, INVITING SELF. PLEASE PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER TAKING ON A NEW ROLE AT MASS! We need Readers, Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of Communion, and especially Greeters to assist at all of our weekend Masses. Everyone is welcome to be a Reader, or Greeter! If you are in the 4 th grade or older we invite and encourage you to be an altar server. Please pray about whether God is calling you to one of these ministries. For more information on Readers, Extraordinary Ministers of Communion or Greeters, contact Cindy at the Parish Office. For more information on Altar Servers, contact Geralyn at the Parish Office. 3

St. Padre Pio In 1915, with World War I afflicting the world, Padre Pio was summoned for military service. He was compelled to leave a tiny community of monks, with whom he was then housed, and drafted into medical service. However, he was so sickly that he was often sent home, only to then be recalled for service. In March 1916, he was finally dismissed because of his poor health. On September 20, Padre Pio was hearing confessions when he felt pain in his hands and feet. He noticed the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, appearing on his hands and feet. The experience was painful. Bleeding occurred. The wounds smelled of roses, and although they continued to weep, they never became infected. Doctors who later examined the stigmata were amazed at their perfectly round shape. By 1919, word began to spread about Padre Pio's stigmata and people came from far away to examine him. Padre Pio became popular with the people he encountered and soon began to attribute supernatural occurrences to him. For example, he was said to levitate, and able to perform miracles. His popularity became a source of concern for the Church and the Vatican began to restrict his activities to minimize public interaction. Padre Pio himself was uncomfortable with his newfound popularity and the attention he received because of his stigmata. A Church investigation into his stigmata concluded that his condition was not faked. Join Father Ivan Nienhaus, pastor of St. Patrick s parish in Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Ireland November 6-14, 2018.
