Food Items Needed
The Food Bank has requested instant soups, such as
Top Ramen or Cup O’Soup, for the months of July and August. If you are
able to help out please leave your donations in the baskets located in
the vestibule of each church. Toiletries are also appreciated for the
Shelters. The Hope Committee will see that all items are delivered.
Thank you for your past and future donations which help our less
fortunate brothers and sisters. They have also asked that we inform you
of their need for fresh vegetables and meat items. While we cannot
accept these things at the church as we have no place to store them they
can be delivered directly to the Food Bank facility at 12181 Airport
Road.

Collecting Aluminum
Cans
The Knight’s of Columbus has started an aluminum
can drive to benefit the Church’s local youth groups, community and
other good works of the Knights. You may support this project by
bringing aluminum cans to church before Mass either on Saturday evening
or Sunday morning. Wire containers are available for collection. You may
wish to save them and bring them when you have a plastic bag full. The
Knights will take care of the rest. The project began last weekend at
all churches in the county and will continue as long as feasible. Start
saving now! If you have any questions you may call Bob Dobbs at 296-7710
or John Bowling at 245-6764. Together we “can”. Thank you for your
support.

The Bell Tolls
By the grace of God there are no executions scheduled
for this week. We ask for your prayers for those awaiting execution, the
families of those who were victims of their violence, and for all of us
in whose name the executions are being done. Have the deaths of those
executed this year stopped acts of violence? Have the deaths made our
communities safer? Have the deaths been consistent with the teaching of
Christ? At the same time pray for the nearly 4,000 babies who are killed
each week by the abortion process. Please pray that respect for all life
will become the standard throughout the world so that abortion,
euthanasia and capital punishment will be unthinkable.

New Vatican Website
Pilgrims and tourists can now visit the Vatican
virtually, by way of Vatican City State's new Internet site. The new
site is available in five languages including English. It includes five
sections: "State and Government," "Services,"
"Other institutions," "Monuments" and
"Shop." The site features other elements, including a Web cam,
which offers a real-time look at St. Peter's Square, the tomb of Pope
John Paul II and other Vatican sites, and photo galleries that include a
tour of the Vatican Gardens, Castel Gandolfo and a display of actual and
historical papal automobiles. Visit it at www.vaticanstate.va/EN/. A
link has been added to our Parish website. You may find it interesting.
