STEWARDSHIP IN FAITH
We will be joining with the other parishes in the Diocese of Buffalo to renew the Stewardship in Faith Program undertaken a few years ago. Because of your generosity, this program was remarkable in helping parishes, including ours, to increase the regular offertory collections. We are renewing this program to help raise awareness of the importance of continued support of our parish's financial needs. Scripture says … "But who am I, and who are my pepole, that we should contribute so freely? For everything is from You, and we only give You what we have received from You. O Lord our God, all this wealth that we have brought together to build You a house in honor of Your Holy Name comes from You is entirely Yours. (1 Chronicles 29:14-16)

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The Adorers of the Perpetual Adoration wish to thank Jesus for the following favors:
1) Thank you for allowing me to make a good confession and to feel God's presence, and for my much sought-after peace.
2) Thank you for my sister's very successful surgery.

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND 1-HOUR EACH WEEK WITH JESUS
IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: "Perpetual adoration is in keeping with the serious message our Lord gave on the last day of the festival when He cried out and said, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me'" (John 7:37-38)

YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE
"No objective, even though noble in itself, such as foreseeable advantage to science, to other human beings or to society, can in any way justify experimentation on living human embryos or fetuses, whether viable or not, either inside or outside the mother's womb." - Donum Vitae (Instruction on Respect For Human Life in its origin;1987)

DO YOU HAVE ROOM IN YOUR HEART?
Once you find the room, the rest is easy. Ask any of Catholic Charities' foster Mom's or Dad's. Right now children are waiting for love, nurture and safe environment.

I AM YOUR FLAG
I was born on June 14, 1777.
I am more than just cloth shaped into a design.
I am the refuge of the world's oppressed people.
I am the silent sentinel of Freedom.
I am the inspiration for which American patriots
gave their lives and fortunes.
I have led your sons into battle form Valley Forge
to the bloody jungles of Vietnam.
I walk in silence with each of your honored dead, to their resting place.
Beneath the silent white crosses, row upon row.
I have flown through peace and war, strife and prosperity;
and amidst it all, I have been respected.
My red stripes symbolize the blood spilled in defense of this glorious nation.
My white stripes symbolize the burning tears shed by Americans
who lost their sons.
My blue field is indicative of God's heaven under which I fly.
My stars are clustered together, unifying 50 states as one,
for God and country.
"Old Glory" is my nickname, and proudly I wave on high.
Honor me, respect me, defend me with your lives and your fortunes.
Never let my enemies tear me down from my lofty position.
lest I never return.
Keep alight the fires of patriotism, strive earnestly
for the spirit of democracy.
Worship eternal God and keep His commandments.
And I shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for all mankind.
-Author Unknown

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The Adorers of the Perpetual Adoration wish to thank Jesus for the following favors:
1) Thank you for my mother's platelet count which returned to normal.
2) Thank you for hearing my prayers for my stomach problem.

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
1-HOUR EACH WEEK WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is infinitely more powerful than all the armies that ever marched, or all the police forces which ever gathered. The Eucharist is our Risen Lord with all the power of His Resurrection flowing out to all who come into His Eucharistic Presence. His words to us today are the same as ever: "Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid!" (Mark 5:50)

STEWARDSHIP IN FAITH
Under the direction of Bishop Mansell, we are joining with all the parishes in the Diocese of Buffalo to renew the Stewardship in Faith Program undertaken a few years ago. Later this week you will receive a letter from Msgr. Lichtenthal explaining the Stewardship in Faith program and how our parish will be involved. The program is an opportunity for each of us to take an active role in the development of our parish. It is a chance for all of us to be stewards - to give back a portion of the blessings God has given us. Our goal is to increase our weekly collection to address the financial needs of our parish. Please keep your hearts open to the message of this program and pray for the success of this endeavor. We ask you to reflect on these words of Scripture: "We have gifts that differ according to the favor bestowed on each of us. One's gift may be prophecy …It may be ministry…a teacher…the power of exhortation. The one who gives alms should do so generously…the one who performs works of mercy should do so cheerfully." (Romans 12:6-8)
