For our beginnings we give you thanks on this our nation’s birthday! May we never declare our independence of Your law, and may we strive to become still more free of all prejudice and hate. Help us, holy God. Your Spirit makes us free. FOURTH OF JULY HOLIDAY… On the Tuesday, July 4th the
Rectory will be closed in honor of the holiday. It
will reopen on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. FIRST FRIDAY Friday of this week is the First
Friday for the month of July. Masses will be
at 6:55 and 8:00 a.m. ROSARY AND ALTAR SOCIETY We will recite the Rosary after
the 8:00 a.m. Mass on Friday, July 7, and then go to the Wehrle Restaurant for a
Dutch-treat breakfast. For reservations call
Virginia Harder at 839-0230 before noon on Thursday, July 6th. All women of the parish are welcome. PRE-BAPTISMAL CLASS The next pre-baptismal class will
be held on Wednesday, July 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the Church Library. If you are planning to attend, please call the
Rectory at 839-1430 to make a reservation. Please
park in the parking lot between the Church and the School and enter through the double
doors to the right of the glass-enclosed elevator entrance. FOR YOUR INFORMATION … The Franciscan Missionary who
requested your generous contributions for the “cow” was Father Sereno Baiardi,
OFM. He came in the place of Father Rafael
Abasolo, OFM. Father Baiardi requested our
help in purchasing cows at $70 each. These
cows would be used for milk, meat, and dung. The
daily life, Father Baiardi described was very primitive and harsh, and he obviously
touched the heart of our parishioners. There
are a total of 121 individual donations made of $70 or more to purchase a “cow” (including 17 donations made by non-parishioners
just visiting CTK). CTK Parishioners and
visitors have contributed sufficient funds to purchase 215 cows for the mission. God bless you all. THE MAY APPEAL As of Tuesday, June 27th,
a total of $62,822.00 has been received, including $11,017.00 pledged. If you have not yet returned your May Appeal Card,
please place it in the collection basket or return it to the Rectory. May we suggest a minimum contribution of $100 this
year, however, any contribution, more or less, within your means is greatly appreciated. You may make pledges and spread your payments out. Reminder notices will be sent out in August,
November and February. clip and pray PRAYER FOR PERPETUAL ADORATION“We pray to make Jesus loved in the Blessed Sacrament, and to make the Eucharist, through Perpetual
Adoration, the very center of Christ the King Parish.” AMEN EUCHARISTIC ADORATIONThe Blessed Sacrament Chapel of Perpetual Adoration has been well received by our parishioners and parishioners of neighboring parishes. We were told that many blessings will come to the Church and Parish because of the Adoration and prayers of all who attend. One such blessing is the Mission Collection this year. Fr. Sereno Baiardi, O.F.M. who came to our parish was not scheduled to come here, but was to go to a parish in California. A last-minute switch, brought Fr. Sereno to us. His sermon touched our people as never before. Last year’s mission collection for the Norbertines, brought $5,700. This year’s collection was nearly “tripled” to a record $15,130.77! I believe that Christ is working in ways we will never understand. The collection was delayed a week , the summer schedule had started so we had one less Mass, and the attendance was low this past weekend – BUT, the collection surpassed all expectations. COINCIDENCE?
Some Information About the Monstrance and the Blessed Sacrament …As you look at the Monstrance holding the Sacred Host, the silver decorations around the host are: =At the top, a dove – the symbol of the Holy Spirit. At the baptism of the Lord, a dove appeared and a voice from heaven said “This is my beloved Son;” =The four winged creatures – are symbols of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the four evangelists; =At the bottom, a Pelican – a symbol of the Eucharist, since the Pelican fills its enormous bill with fish to feed its young
and if it can find no food will feed his brood with his own flesh! The Blessed Sacrament will be renewed after the 6:55 or 8:00 a.m. Mass every First Friday. Adorers are always welcomed. Please sign up if you can commit yourself to a particular time slot. Four adorers is not too many for any time slot. Hopefully all hours will have at least four or more. Thanks for your cooperation and may
God’s Blessing come in abundance to all. FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PRAYERS TO THE

Lichtenthal TODAY’S CATHOLIC CHARITIES – Finding New Independence It may be the 4th of July, but some of us aren’t

when facing the break-up of a long-term relationship.

help separated or divorced individuals deal and work through this difficult time. Call 839-4406 for more information or visit www.ccwny.org , “Current Events”. JUBILEE 2000 – Many Faces in God’s House: Encuentro 2000From July 6th – July 9th, 2000
representatives from all parts of the family of faith – the African,
African-American, Asian and Pacific Islander, Latin American, Caribbean, Hispanic, Native
American, European, Middle Easter n and other communities that form Catholicism in the
U.S., are gathering in Los Angeles. Amidst
prayer, celebration and multi-cultural awareness, parish and diocesan leaders will
identify ways to utilize the Church’s diversity to fulfill its mission. Pray for them this week. PHONES FOR EMERGENCY USE are located in the Ushers' Room (off of the Church Vestibule, next to
the Msgr. McMahon Church Library) AND in the Kitchen
in the Chapel Meeting Room (next to the Lower Church). HEARING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Both of our Churches are set up to aid those who are hard-of-hearing, and those who currently use hearing aids. All hearing assistance items are stored on shelves in the Usher's Room, including information on the systems and instructions for use. We have two systems available: (1) A "Mini Earphone" & receiver - A earphone you place directly into your ear; (2) "Neckloop
Telecoil Couplers" – Magnetically couples the audio output from a Williams Sound
unit into a hearing aid equipped with a telephone "T" coil. FAITHFUL AT HOME Do you know someone housebound who would like to become part of the
Faithful at Home Ministry? It is available for anyone who is unable to attend weekly mass.
Those involved are asked to remember the people listed on our Sick & Deceased Lists in
their daily prayers. A Newsletter is sent on a regular basis, including this information,
plus other notes of interest from our parish. Call
the Rectory or Katie Juhasz at 835-0895, for details. PARISH ROSARY CHAIN If you have an intention to be added to our Parish Rosary Chain or if
you would like to become part of the Rosary Chain Ministry, please call Margaret Babich at
839-0335. WHEN SOMEONE FROM YOUR FAMILY
OR OUR PARISH IS HOSPITALIZED … please call the Rectory and one of the priests
will make every effort to come and see you. Most Hospitals no longer notify us when
parishioners are admitted. MEN'S PRAYER GROUP A group of men meets every Monday evening from 8:15-9:00 p.m. in the
Upper Church to join in prayer. Any man is
welcome to join at any time. Please use the double doors off of the small parking

like to become a part of this ministry, please call Dorothy at 839-2621. ALCOHOLICS’ ANONYMOUS (AA) Alcoholics’ Anonymous meets in our Chapel Meeting Room every
Wednesday evening at 8:00 p.m. RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONNow that the School year has come to a close, hopefully the material your child learned will be retained. As parents, one way to help insure some carryover is to review what your child has learned this past year. Giving closure to the year doesn’t mean “it’s over, we’re finished”, it means that there are no more scheduled classes until September. It is your responsibility as parents to encourage and provide spiritual growth to your child during the summer months. The most important way that your can do this is by attending weekly Mass. You can also as a family: receive the sacrament of Reconciliation at last once during the summer, pray before meals, pray the Rosary, say morning and evening prayers, and read the Bible and Bible stories to younger children.
Registration for next year’s program is now due! A VOCATION VIEWLife can remind us of life-eternal; Death can remind us of
death-eternal. Each day we must choose to
live or die physically or spiritually. What
we do daily either builds us up or tears us down. Priest
and religious are unique proclaimers of eternal life.
If you feel God is calling you to be one, call Father Leon Biernat at
847-5535. NOTES FROM MUSIC MINISTRYLiturgy from its root meaning, is “something that people do together.” In a religious context, the word signifies people who come together to give expression to their faith. People of faith come together to sing, pray, listen, respond and share. Come together and Participate in your music ministry at CTK. As the summer month’s approach and our busy schedules offer us some additional time, it is a perfect time to participate in the Summer Music Ministry at CTK! Do you have a favorite hymn? Would you like to be part of a small vocal or instrumental ensemble? Would your family like to sing and worship together?
The summer Music Ministry can include a special
presentation at any one of the weekend liturgies and a teen ensemble, a men’s ensemble, and family
members singing together, are all possibilities.
You can make it happen simply by calling the Director of Music at 839-1430 ext. 212
to fill a convenient place in the schedule. Please
