ST. VINCENT de PAUL NEWS

Have you ever wondered what happens to the money you drop into the POOR BOX at Christ the King? Your generous giving, whenever you can help us, provides for the people in our parish. The following letter is from a parishioner who wrote to the St. Vincent de Paul Society to thank them for help they received last year. Please use the POOR BOXES and make any donation you can, so we can continue this work in our parish.

Dear Christ the King Parish & St. Vincent de Paul Society,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone that helped me, and my daughter, in our time of need. We had a situation where we had to start over, and basically had nothing. I came to Christ the King, and the parish helped me with food, food vouchers, Christmas for my daughter, clothes, and gift cards to Target. The parish had parishioners who donated items for me to set up my home.
Every month, someone calls to see how I and my daughter are doing. I now attend Adoration, to pray to thank these loving and giving people, but also to become closer to Jesus , to still help me become a stronger person, and to go on with life.
God Bless all these people for their help.

THE MAY APPEAL
Donations continue to come in for our annual May Appeal. The May Appeal funds are used to help maintain and improve our Parish properties. This year we plan to continue our building maintenance with upgrading the heating system in the church, updating the organ with new electronic controls, and updating the computer lab in the School.
As of Tuesday, June 8th, the May appeal returns total $77,103, with responses from 691 of our 2200 families (less than 1/3 of our parishioners). We would appreciate a minimum of $100 per family, but any contribution within your means will be gratefully accepted. Your continued cooperation and generous response to the needs of the parish, helps us realize our hopes and plans to improve our Parish community. We thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on us, and we ask for your generous and positive response to this appeal.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

FATHER'S DAY NOVENA
From Sunday, June 20th through Tuesday, June 28th, there will be a 9-Day Novena of Masses in honor of our fathers. What a wonderful way to remember our fathers, both living and deceased. Father's Day cards & offering envelopes are in the back of Church. Please return them to the Rectory Office or in the collection basket.

FATHER'S DAY THOUGHTS
This Father's Day, Jesus is teaching all dads: If we try to "save our life, we will lose it."
Christian fatherhood is built upon personal sacrifice. The more we give of ourselves the more rewarding is our relationship with our children. This is the secret: the more you give, the more you get!

"If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort
from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right." -- Bill Cosby

"Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!" -- Lydia M.
Child

"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." -- Sigmund Freud

"I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen
hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example." -- Mario Cuomo

Every person needs several hugs a day. Hugs come in all shapes sizes and forms. Have you given any hugs today?

FATHERS AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES
As a father, you work year-round to bring strength and stability to your family, just as Catholic Charities strives to achieve strength and stability in our community. Families are the foundation of much of our work - we're here if there is a need. For information, contact your neighborhood office of Catholic Charities, call 856-4494 or go to www.ccwny.org.

ST. VINCENT de PAUL SOCIETY NEWS
As you enter the doors of CTK, and glance at the poor boxes, do you ever think, I'd better give a donation, because maybe it will be my family who will need help from the Society next. It gives you a good feeling knowing that you helped another family in their time of need.

Many letters of thanks are sent to the Society. The following letter is another example of how your poor box donations help our fellow parishioners. It gives you a good feeling knowing that you helped another family in their time of need. Please give generously, so that we can continue our work to help CTK parishioners when needed.

To those at St. Vincent de Paul,

After an unexpected event, the financial structure of our family crumbled, leaving us frightened and distressed. We were soon blessed by your help, support and encouragement. Instead of worrying how we could pay our heating bill at Christmas, we felt the warm, giving hearts that beat within all of you.
Thank you so very much, your help will always be remembered.

A thankful parishioner of
Christ the King Parish
