Registration for September’s Program: Please visit our collaborative web site (www.shstm.org) to register for the new catechetical year. We are pleased to announce that we will continue our

Family Faith Formation format, meeting once monthly for parents and children in Grades 1-6 and biweekly for youth in Grades 7-Confirmation. We have received positive, supportive feedback on

the materials used this year, so we will continue with using these materials next year. Sacramental preparation programs reminder (Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation) are two year programs.

If your child is entering Grade 1 (First Reconciliation/First Eucharist) or Grade 9 (Confirmation) in September, please register for these programs now. Thank you. Please call Maureen with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your support: Pine Street Inn Service Ministry: On the fourth Tuesday of each month for the past 37 years, a group of parishioners have faithfully and generously provided Shepherd's Pies and desserts for this vital

ministry. In the summer months, many of these donors are on vacation and not able to provide their usual fare. The next Tuesday the K of C members will be bring volunteers and food to Pine Street on Tuesday, June 26.

Please call Maureen at the Collaborative Offices if you are able to provide a pie or desserts on the fourth Tuesdays of summer (June 26, July 24, and August 28). Your support is necessary and greatly appreciated

to ensure that we are able to continue to feed the hungry during the summer months.

Our Collaborative Parish Cancer Support Group meets every Wednesday at 1:30 pm in Sacred Heart Chapel to pray A Rosary for Life. Following the Rosary, members of the group share their thoughts as they explore topics provided by the Christian resource, Together Living With Cancer. Having cancer is often one of the most stressful experiences in a person's life. Our collaborative support group provides cancer patients, and their families, resources to cope with the emotional aspects of cancer by offering them a safe place to share their feelings and challenges. We learn from others who have faced or are facing similar situations. Come join us in prayer for yourself or for someone you love who is struggling with the effects of cancer in their lives. All are welcome!
