The Sanctuary Lamp burns to remind us of Christ’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
This week the Sanctuary Lamp burns in memory of the
deceased mothers of the Tremmel & Lenhardt Families.
If you wish to sponsor the Sanctuary Lamp for one week the cost is $10.00

Pentecost
The gift of the Holy Spirit given at Pentecost is available to the worshipping community, provided we are open and willing to receive it.
The feast of Pentecost, which celebrates the birthday of the church, is a great opportunity for evaluating the use we are making of our God-given gifts.
Even if our gifts are not spectacular, it does not diminish their importance.
Being a patient father, a loving mother, a good listener
and having time for the elderly may not make headlines
but it witnesses to the fact that God is to be found in the humdrum of a daily routine.

Joke
According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem.
A number of the girls would put their lipstick on in the bathroom.
That was fine, but after they put it on they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.
She called the girls into the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man.
She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it was, she asked the maintenance man to clean one of the mirrors.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then…no more lip prints!
