SUMMER SOCIAL – June 26-27-28

HELP WANTED

Only 4 short days until the beginning of our annual summer social.  The proceeds of the social benefit everyone in the parish.  So please, if you have not signed up to help, do so this week by calling Amy Cater at 867-2987.  Help is needed in the following areas:

 

There are several kids’ booths that still need help.  If you’re new in the parish, the social is a wonderful way to meet people and become an active member of the parish family.

 

Kitchen – Help is needed to debone chicken on Monday, June 23 beginning at 8:00 a.m.

 

Dealers for the Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament are needed for Sunday, June 29, beginning at 2:00 p.m.  Also needed are dealers for the nightly pick up tables during the social – 5:30 – 9:30 p.m.  Please call Mark Schmitz at 618-5986 if you can deal cards.

 

Other Summer Social needs –

2-Liter Soft Drinks are desperately needed.  Only 40 have been donated – normally 100 are given away each night of the social.

 

Theme Baskets are also desperately needed. Suggestions are available on the bulletin board between the two sets of doors leading into the church.  If you don’t have the time to put together a basket, why not donate the money as we have a group of ladies that are great at putting baskets together.  Please call Ann Gerteisen at 479-9493 concerning theme baskets.

 

New/Used Children’s Books & Movies are needed and can be used to put theme baskets together.  Please drop off in Room 110 no later than Wednesday.

 

Beanie Babies – Glassware – Stuffed Animals – are all needed for the social.

****All donations for the social are now to be dropped off at the school.  The Theme Baskets go to Room 110 with the remaining donations going to Room 100.  Thanks for your cooperation. ****

Bishop Gettelfinger has requested that immigration information be published in the next several bulletins.

 

Perceived Myth:   Most immigrants cross the border illegally.
Known Fact:  Around 75% of today’s immigrants have legal permanent (immigrant) visas; of the 25% that are undocumented, 40% overstayed temporary (non-immigrant) visas.

RCIA – If you have been coming to Mass for a while, but are not Catholic, we invite you to look more deeply into the Catholic faith.  Good Shepherd Parish will soon begin a series of sessions to explain the beliefs and practices of the Catholic faith.  We invite you to learn what Catholics believe, how we worship, and how we live out our faith.  These sessions are also an opportunity for you to ask questions you may have about the Church.  These sessions are part of a process we call RCIA or Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.  If you or someone you know might have an interest in learning more, please call Father Attila or Deacon Ed at 477-5405.
