Good News

Jesus continues to tell the people that He is the bread of life come down from heaven. The people have doubts and stop following Him. His disciples are puzzled as to what He tells them. The Eucharist is the bread of life.

This coming Sat., Aug. 15th would be a Holyday of Obligation - the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since it falls on a Saturday this year, we are not obligated to attend Mass. However, if anyone wishes to attend Mass, it will be held at 8:00 AM on Sat. morning at St. Joseph. Blessing of flowers and herbs will take place.

Next Sunday, - Aug. 16th our annual Parish Festival at P.A.C.C. Everything begins at 12 noon. Polish and American food, games, chances, raffles, music, etc. Please come and support the parish and club.

Prizes from the Festival may be picked up on Tues., Aug. 18th from 6 - 8 PM in the church hall.

DONATIONS AND HELPERS ARE NEEDED FOR AUG. 16TH - the list of chairpersons for the picnic are on the podium at the back of the church. Please contact one of the chairpersons to volunteer or to give a donation.

PLEASE NOTE: for those who leave Mass during Communion, please don't. Have the common courtesy to leave after the final prayer and the last blessing. Only one left during the meal and that was Judas. Don't be a Judas.

Please do not staple or tape your envelopes when passing in the basket. Thank you.
