HOW IS YOUR PRAYER LIFE…. ARE YOU GROWING IN YOUR FAITH? "Without prayer we will lose the divine life we possess, and more obviously, we shall not grow in the life we already have. In other words, no prayer, no salvation...we need to pray...because we have a fallen human nature..."

SPIRITUAL RENEWAL: Do you desire to know Jesus more intimately, come to a deeper experience of God's love for you? Do you wish to deepen your prayer life or to pray more personally? You may be interested in a thirty-week retreat experience in everyday life, which begins in September '06. This is known as the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Daily prayer with Scripture and weekly individual meetings with a trained prayer guide are the main dynamics of the retreat. INFORMATION SESSION: Monday, June 5th at 7 PM., 3100 Elmwood Ave, Kenmore (next to Wilson Farms). For more information, brochures or reservations call Sister Marie Schober, SSMN (716) 873-6476.

RESPECT LIFE UPDATE ON YOUR SPIRITUAL BABY
Your spiritually adopted baby weighs over one pound now and his mother can feel him moving around, before he was too small for her to feel.

We are mid-way through the pregnancy now and your prayers have helped the baby's mother continue with her pregnancy and also to seek the help she needs.

We will be addressing heating system maintenance, and various projects in the school this summer.
If you have not already submitted your pledge card, please do so at your earliest convenience. We are confident that you will be generous to the needs of the parish.

JOB OPENING AT CTK
Christ the King Church is currently looking to fill a Part-Time Maintenance position. The job responsibilities consist primarily of housekeeping work in the Church buildings as well as some landscaping and other seasonal outdoor tasks. This year-round job is perfect for a college student looking for an alternative to long daytime shifts that conflict with classes or if you want to avoid working on nights and weekends, then this could be the job for you. Please contact the Rectory at 839-1430 during normal business hours for more information.

"His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd." - from Mark 6

Question of the Week: Whom do you lead, and where are you leading them?

Faith Response: Take leadership seriously. Make a list of those whose example you intend to follow. Include gospel figures, saints, relatives, and modern heroes.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY
This weekend, the tree in the Church vestibule is decorated with gift tags requesting items for the residents in the Erie County Home in Alden. CTK's Social Justice Ministry, asks us to take a tag and return the item NEXT WEEKEND, and place it under the tree. Last year our parish was very generous and we were able to help out the residents, many of whom have no families to care for them.

TASKS FOR PARISH AND SCHOOL RESTRUCTURING
Timeline: March 1 - July 31, 2006 - Cluster Meetings
� Large Vicariates should divide into regional planning clusters.
� Cluster membership will consist of the pastor and at least two parishioners. If there is a parish school, or a regional school in the cluster the principal(s) should be invited to attend.
� The cluster representatives will review the ideas and suggestions from the parishes regarding the reconfiguration of parishes and schools. The cluster group will then engage in its own discernment process.
� The cluster will send a cluster proposal to the Vicariate Council regarding parishes and school within the cluster.
� Cluster participants will keep their parishioners apprised of the work in the cluster.

PARENTING PERSPECTIVE: A 'summer job jar' can be a sanity strategy for bored kids and tired parents. Write about 50 simple jobs on slips of paper and put in a jar. Each weekday your child picks one and has to do it before dinner. This not only teaches family teamwork but builds self-confidence and responsibility

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
ONE HOUR WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
"If we love the Blessed Sacrament, and if we delight to spend our time in adoration of this tremendous mystery of love, we cannot help finding out more about the charity of Christ. We cannot help gaining and intimate and personal knowledge of Jesus Who is hidden under the sacramental veils." - Thomas Merton

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
1) Thank you for giving our granddaughter and her husband the gift of pregnancy.
2) Thank you for the much needed emotional support during our catastrophic circumstances.

JOURNEY IN FAITH AND GRACE
The following is a list of criteria that the Diocese will be looking for in parishes: Prayer and Worship, Spirit of Community Lay Leadership and involvement, Faith Formation, Pastoral Ministry, Outreach, Collaborative Administration, Financial Stability, and Buildings and Property. For the next few weeks, we will highlight these criteria:
� Prayer and Worship - Liturgies should be quality celebrations: good prayer, homilies, music. There should be congregational participation and an adequate number of trained lay ministers. The worship space should be aesthetically pleasing and liturgically appropriate.
� Spirit of Community - The community should exhibit in its coming together a spirit of hospitality, a tangible spirit of friendliness, an openness to diversity, and a respect for the needs of all groups in the assembly.
� Lay Leadership and Involvement - There should be active and responsible involvement of many parishioners in advisory and ministerial roles, and all approved liturgical roles should be open to both men and women. Lay leaders should receive appropriate education and formation.
