Aoife Kate Collins Cassidy Shea Dagen Savannah Rose Streeter Norma Mae Turner Box Tops We are collecting Boxtops for Education for Sacred Heart School. If you do not have children in the school and you buy products with this emblem on them could you please save them and send them into SHS or the Parish Office. We will do the rest! Make sure they have the acronym and expiration date still intact! Happy Father s Day! God our Father, we give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old. We pray: for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; May they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice. for men who are about to become fathers that they may openly delight in their children. for fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow. for those fathers who, despite divorce, have remained in their children's lives. for those fathers whose children are adopted, and whose love and support has offered healing. for those fathers who, as stepfathers, freely choose the obligation of fatherhood and earn their stepchildren's love and respect. for those fathers who have lost a child to death, and continue to hold the child in their heart. for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice. We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen Do you feel something missing in your life? Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Do you have friends or family members who are questioning what Catholicism is all about? Do you have Catholic family members or friends who have fallen away from the faith? We invite and welcome you and them to investigate the truth about Catholicism by joining the RCIA group here at OLMM Parish, which will resume in September.

There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate! To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800- REDCROSS or visit redcrossblood.org 3 RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a program designed to help non-catholics and non-practicing Catholics learn more about Catholicism through a series of classes, discussions and prayer.

Christ has sown the seed of your vocation within you. Might it be to grow in holiness as a priest or in the consecrated life? Call Father Matthew Mason (603) 663-0132, or write: mmason@rcbm.org. Below are just a couple of the CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection: The Forgotten Virtue: Pathway to Holiness God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble. (1 Peter 5:5) In this revealing talk, Fr. Casey shares how wisdom and blessings come through a healthy cultivation of the virtue of humility, and he equips us to be vigilant in avoiding that often subtle temptation and danger to the soul, which is pride. He shows how humility allows us to see things, and ourselves, as they truly are, and how pride makes us prone to serious mistakes, both in our spiritual and practical lives. At the end of this presentation is a bonus segment from Confession by Fr. Larry Richards. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before Dr. Edward Sri is a nationally sought Catholic speaker who appears regularly on EWTN, and is a founding leader of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). In this discussion of his book "The New Rosary in Scripture: Biblical Insights on Praying the Twenty Mysteries" (Servant Books), Dr. Sri shares John Paul II's practical strategies for praying the Rosary better, so that you can encounter Jesus more deeply in prayer. We kindly ask for a donation of $4.00 per book (or otherwise specified suggested donation), $3.00 per CD, $2.00 per booklet and $0.50 per pamphlet so that we may continue this program.
