“Negaholics”
Presented by Sr. Diane Depwe
Tuesday, June 9th
6:00-9:00pm
When we recognize our negativity, we can pull ourselves
out of it and have a healthier life. Some ways people are
negative to themselves or others are: never feeling good
enough, procrastinating, faultfinding, being critical or
negative, constant complaining, being a perfectionist
or full of gloom & doom. Come and be free from the
negative type. To register, call the Center at 855-1232.
Suggested donation is $20 per person and includes
supper. Please register by June 5th.

Following Mass will be a reception with Bishop Provost in

Baptismal Prep Class is held on the last Sunday of each month

to schedule a Baptism in the upcoming months. It is also for

Dear Parishioners:
After a lengthy 50-day celebration of the Easter season
with First Communions, Confirmations, graduations, and
end-of-school festivities, we now enter into a quieter time
of summer rest. It is a time to slow down, to give thanks, and to enjoy
time with family and loved ones. As Church, we enter into Ordinary
Time, revisiting in the Gospel each Sunday the life and ministry of our
Blessed Lord and how it applies to our lives. Each Sunday, we will be
reading mostly from St. Mark’s Gospel (Year B) and also from St. John
(Chapter 6) until December. So it’s a good time to re-read Mark’s
Gospel in preparation for the next few months of Sunday Masses.
Beginning July 1st, the weekday Mass schedule will be as follows:
Mondays at 6:15 a.m.; Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m.; Wednesdays at
6:15 a.m.; Thursdays at 8:30 a.m.; Fridays at 12:05 p.m., and
Saturdays at 8:30 a.m. Thank you to all of you who completed the
surveys to help us adjust the weekday Mass schedule in light of
having only one priest in full-time ministry beginning in July. Note that
there is no change to the weekend Mass schedule. It will continue to
be at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and on Sundays at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m.,
and 5:30 p.m.
Please remember us priests in your prayers as we gather Monday
through Wednesday for our annual convocation with our Bishop. It is a
welcome time of communal prayer, study, and fellowship. May it
nourish and strengthen us for a new year of ministry together.
Our seminarian, Addison Pitre, is moving in to the parish this
weekend. We will welcome him after all Masses next weekend. Please
keep him and all of our future priests in your prayers during their
summer assignments.
Our spring campaign continues to progress. The church interior is
looking great and the stained glass is being repaired. We had an air
conditioner go out, but our mechanical insurance is saving us
thousands of dollars to replace it. And a generous friend and ACTS
brother has offered to complete a needed insulation job of the air
conditioner closet, which will save additional thousands of dollars.
May God bless his generosity.
Summer blessings,
Fr. Huckaby

Do we treat it that way?

On War:
“The traditional “just war” teaching of the Catholic Church has never been intended to promote war but to
prevent or impede it. It is not a matter of “justifying” war. It is a matter of spelling out the conditions under which
a nation may legitimately go to war, if all peace efforts have failed, and the moral principles which must be
observed in the conduct of the war itself.”
~Cardinal John O’Conner
