Communal Anointing Service
We invite our parishioners who are ill to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at our Communal Anointing Service on Sunday, July 11 following the 12:30 p.m. Mass. A Communal Anointing Service is a prayer service where those who are seriously ill can come together with the Church as a whole to receive the anointing of the sick. Though any parishioner is welcome to attend to pray for the sick not all in attendance should receive the sacrament.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Fr. Craig's celebrates his birthday on July 15. Fr. Robert and Deacon Gary both celebrate their birthdays on July 18. We wish them a very happy and blessed birthday!

Young Adults Ministry Bible Study & Fellowship
We invite all people in their late teens (18-19) through thirties; single, married, divorced, or widowed; and with or without children to come share in a Young Adults Bible Study through our Young Adults Ministry. The purpose of our ministry is to welcome young adults into a community to share our Catholic faith, encourage personal and spiritual growth, and deepen our knowledge of scripture. Our Bible Study takes place on Thursday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the OLPH Dewitt House. This ministry will also focus on personal identity, relationships, work, and spiritual life focusing on the Young Adult. For information, contact Amalia Garcia at amalia.e.garcia@gmail.com.

Altar Flowers
The 2010 Altar Flower calendar is now available for signups in the vestibule next to the Chapel. Altar flowers are a special way to commemorate a special occasion or memorial. You may choose from a pair of bouquets for our altar or a single bouquet for our vestibule. The cost is $30 per bouquet.

Pilgrim Chalice for Vocations
To foster prayers for vocations in the home, our parish has instituted a pilgrim chalice. The chalice, as you know, is the cup used at Mass that following the consecration contains the Most Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. On the first Sunday of every month, the pilgrim chalice is used at Mass and then presented to a family.
      That family takes the chalice home and reverently displays it in a prominent place in the home for the entire month. Throughout the month, the family promises to pray together daily for vocations. On the first Sunday of the next month the family returns the chalice to the church where once again, it is used in the celebration of the Mass and presented to a new family.
      If you are interested in hosting the pilgrim chalice, please call the parish office to be placed on the list. We will then work through this list, one family per month, as we unite as a parish family to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life!

Eucharistic Adoration
The Blessed Sacrament is exposed every Monday at 8 a.m. following the morning Mass and stays exposed until 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning. It is also exposed on First Fridays after the 8:45 a.m. Mass until Saturday at 7:20 a.m. Whenever you have the time, please feel free to make a special visit to our Lord in the Chapel during this special opportunity for adoration and worship. In addition, it is important to ensure that individuals are with the Blessed Sacrament every hour during exposition. We are in need of volunteers so if you can commit to a regular time, the available times are listed in the sign-up book in the chapel vestibule.
