250 Club News Every Third Sunday of the month a table will be in the west lobby so you can pay your $60 a year dues or become a new member of the 250 Club! Drawings are held the last week of every month. Please look for the table this weekend.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Joan Cappello. May her soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her.

REFLECTION Word of Life: June 10, 2018 “To women with an unplanned pregnancy, Maya says, ‘This is survivable. Have hope.’” USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “Accompanying Expectant Mothers Considering Adoption” www.usccb.org/women-considering-adoption Stewardship Reflection: June 10, 2018 “And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” – MARK 3:25 Do your parish ministries complement each other or do they compete against each other? Is your parish “one Body of Christ” or a bunch of little, separate ministries controlled by human ego? The goal of all parish ministries is to bring people to Christ. All of our parish work should be for the glory of God’s name, not our own name.

MegaBucks season is upon us! Our new off-site coordinators Deb and John Garner have found some great places for us to sell our MegaBucks tickets and promote our festival before the big day.

If you haven't ever been a "Mega-Volunteer," please consider helping us this year. Confirmation and high school students, these are the easiest volunteer hours you can earn!

Or maybe you’re just looking for an excuse to “upgrade” from the retro glassware of the past. No matter the reason, let us help you! Donate unused glassware and ashtrays to the Dime Pitch booth! Leave donations any time in the West Lobby. (Our need this year is greater than ever; due to the sale of Hockenberg’s, we will no longer receive glassware donations from them.)

A new raffle this year is the “Gift Card Basket.” Let’s fill up a basket with a wide variety of gift cards to various businesses. If you’ve got a full-value gift card you know you won’t use, Re-Gift it to Sts. Peter and Paul for our Festival! Combined with other gift cards, it will make a valuable and attractive prize! Of course, you can also purchase Scrip gift cards for donation as well. Drop an envelope with your full-value gift card in the collection basket any time! 8 Weeks until Festival Day, August 5! Planning is already in full swing! Upcoming important dates: July 7 - 8: 2-Liter Sunday Anytime: cake and brownie mixes, canned goods, condiments (ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, salad dressings, etc.) Help us continue to make our grocery booth the best in town!
