MAY APPEAL DOWN $10,000!

By the time you read this we will be $10,000 lower in May Appeal pledges than last year. We have collected $58,000 to date. Each year at this time we conduct our major fund-raising effort for Buildings and Grounds maintenance.

This year our campus summer/fall projects amount to $85,000. There are over 20 individual items to be accomplished.

The Diocese of Buffalo has developed a profile of the "Criteria for a Viable Parish". Included under the heading of Financial Stability is the following: "The parish should be able to support its ministry and pay the price for the service it renders."

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.

MISSION CO-OP
The second collection today will be for the Society of St. Peter Apostle. Msgr. Harold Wagner, Diocesan Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, will speak at all Masses on behalf of this Society. This Society is the agency of the Holy Father and the Universal Church that maintains and educates seminarians in missionary countries so that when they are ordained priests they can proclaim the Gospel to their own people. No matter how we seek, we shall always find ourselves unable to contribute to anything greater than to the making of good priests. Your help is desperately needed. Please be generous.

SOCIAL JUSTICE MINISTRY
Many hands make light work! Projects for 2005 have been planned. Project leaders of theme collections & soup kitchen calendar are looking for parishioners interested in lending a helping hand …without getting too involved! Call Allison at 839-5225.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
Every Father's Day you get your dad the same thing, a tie, a pair of socks or another tool. Have you ever taken the time to thank him for all his wisdom and life lessons he's passed on to you over the years? Take a moment and thank your Dad for:
" Those annoying phrases you've caught yourself using with your kids.
" Teaching you the importance of quiet time during Monday night football.
" Uncovering the little known fact that there is no need for a laundry hamper, the floor will
do just fine.
" Using your first car (he purchased for $350) to teach you humility.
" Teaching you the importance of a fine beer. It should be savored and appreciated as a
work of art.
" Encouraging your own ingenuity by throwing away the instructions while saying, "we
don't need these".
" Explaining the importance of planning for the future by never throwing away anything
that, "might come in handy one day".
" Teaching you the only tools you really need are duct tape and a Swiss Army knife.
" Explaining why camping and fishing trips are considered "real vacations".
" Giving you the confidence to never have to ask for directions- you always know where
you are going.
" How to do all the laundry in one load and allow more time for football.

FATHER'S DAY NOVENA - From Sun., June 19th through Mon. June 27th, 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 and offering envelopes are in the back of the Church. Please return them to the Rectory Office or in the collection basket.

JOURNEY IN FAITH AND GRACE
Bishop Kmiec has announced plans to examine the health and stability of diocesan institutions and parishes. This will involve a nearly 2-year study and will certainly result in mergers and in some cases, closings of parishes. The priest shortage, while acute, is not the only factor driving this study. Centers of populations have shifted, leaving many churches serving very few people. Parochial schools will also be studied to make certain that seats are filled and that funding is secure. One city parish closed its school recently, a school which had only 101 students and consumed 90% of all parish revenue. Not many schools are in such bad shape but many will have to examine their funding and attendance. We will be part of the study even though our church is filled and our school is strong. We will keep you informed as the planning continues.
