CONFIRMATION: Bishop Michael Olsen will be here this Friday, June 6th at 7:00 p.m. to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation for our confirmation candidates. All are welcome to be present as the Bishop visits our parish for the first time and as our young parishioners receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
FATHER’S DAY FLOWERS: This is the last weekend to make a donation towards Father’s Day flowers. To honor or remember a special man in your life, put your intentions, along with your donation in an envelope marked “Father’s Day Flowers” and drop in the collection basket.
PASTORAL COUNCIL NOMINATIONS: This is the last weekend to nominate individuals or themselves as a candidate to fill one of three positions on the Pastoral Council. Prayerfully consider who would lead our parish at this time and then write the name or names (there is no limit) on a slip of paper and place in the collection basket by Sunday, June 1st. Members of the Finance Council are unable to serve on both councils, therefore do not nominate Charles Beseda, Gordon Grubbs, Annette Ballew, or Lucy Pustejovsky. There are three members who have finished their terms on the Pastoral Council that are not eligible to serve for one year. They include Ronda Ballew, Kevin Beene, and Kathleen Pustejovsky. Finally, please do not nominate any current members of the Pastoral Council members: Katie Kaska, Joyce Lenart, Cheryl Schulz, Johnny Krenek, Mike Bezdek, and Frank Urbanovsky.
SECOND COLLECTION: We will have a second collection this weekend for the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). Half of all proceeds remain in our diocese and support local needs, so please be generous in this collection. CCC equips us to share our experience of faith, worship, and witness with the world.
KC MEETING: The Knights of Columbus will be meeting this Wednesday, June 4th at 6:30 p.m. in the rectory.
MINISTER SCHEDULES: New schedules for Lectors, Altar Servers, Ushers, and Eucharistic Ministers will be coming out in July. We are always looking for new lectors and altar servers and currently in great need of head ushers. Lectors need to have received the sacrament of Confirmation. Altar Servers need to have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion. Head Ushers need to be an adult. Training is available for all these roles. If you are new and wish to be added or need to make any changes, including a new contact number, please include it on the information sheet located on the back table. Please put these in the collection basket by June 8th. Hope to see some new faces
INTENTIONS NEEDED: We are in need of intentions for Sanctuary, Cross, and Cemetery Lights. Please place your intention and donation in a specially marked envelope and place in the collection basket.
MANY THANKS: Thanks to the Abbott KJZT members (Adult and Junior Societies) for assisting at the breakfast after the First Holy Communion last Sunday.
