Health Ministry:
Dads Know How to Laugh, Too
The role of Father-Dad-Pops has
never lost its importance, no matter
what the society trend. These men know how
to take a joke and laugh, often the loudest.
*You can tell what was the best year of your
father's life because they seem to freeze
that style and ride it out.
*My dad and I used to play tag. He'd drive.
*There should be a children's song:
"If you're happy and you know it,
keep it to yourself and let your dad sleep!"
*A father carries photos where his money
used to be.
*What's the difference between a high hit
baseball and a maggot's father?
One's a pop fly and the other is a fly pop.
*Just once on Father's Day I wish my kids
would give me a #1 Dad's cup instead of
one with my actual ranking.
Research has shown that children with involved
dads on average do better in school plus have
higher self-esteem and greater motivation to
succeed. In addition these kids are less likely
to be delinquent and less likely to abuse
substances like drugs and alcohol. To all the
men who are committed to filling the role of
father - to encourage, discipline and love the
up-coming generation - we celebrate and we
thank you this Father's Day. Have a GREAT one!

K of C Pancake Breakfast!
Introductions to Sunday Readings
TODAY! 9:30 - 11:30 PM
St. John’s Undercroft
Come and enjoy all-you-can-eat fresh, homemade
pancakes, plus eggs, sausage, juice and coffee.
Adults - $6 Children < 12 - $4 Max - $25 per family
by Bishop Ken Untener, in collaboration
with Catherine Haven and Fr. Bill Taylor
First Reading - Zechariah 12:10-11
The prophet Zechariah preached after the Jews
returned from exile. This brief passage we will hear
today is puzzling. A person is depicted as suffering
and dying for the people, but we don’t know who
it is. In the Gospel of John, this passage is applied
to Jesus on the Cross, pierced with a lance.
Second Reading - Galatians 3:26-29
Today we hear one of the most famous passages from
Paul’s letter to the Galatians. In that culture and at
that time, it was a remarkable statement against any
form of ethnic, religious, or gender discrimination.
All proceeds benefit Vacation Bible School.
Living Faith Meditation Booklets
These popular daily prayer booklets for July,
August and September are available in the
churches this weekend.
Baptismal Preparation Class
This Wednesday, June 22nd
7 PM St. John Center
If you are expecting your first baby or want

throughout the year. The next baptismal preparation
class is set for this Wednesday, June 22nd at 7:00 PM
in the St. John Rectory. Please call the parish office
422-0602 to register.
It’s Fenwick Festival Time!
Men of the parish are invited to join for
prayer and study every second and fourth

the Kohl’s Associates in Action Program which provides volunteers and grant money for Vacation Bible School.
Jo Ann Cranford and Will Fish were the lucky winners of the VBS quilts made by Betty and Kay von der Embse.
$795 was raised from the quilt raffle and $649.30 from Penny Wars, both of which benefit Sr. Sarah Mulligan’s
Clinic in Guatemala.
THANKS also to: the Knights of Columbus for their generous donation; the Volle Family & Laura Howells for their
decorating skills; Jeannine Pfeffer for decorating supplies; Rob McCulley for taking photos; Jay Brunner
for sound equipment; Chris Bowles from Proforma Albrecht & Co. who designs the t-shirts and parishioners who
donated props! It’s a lot of work for a lot of people… but so worth it! Well done everyone!
