Prayer For Rain Oh God in whom we live and move, and have our being we ask that you bless your land with rain, that the grass, forage and crops which we as well as your livestock and wildlife depend on may flourish abundantly, making your presence, beauty and goodness known.
In being sufficiently blessed with our earthly needs, may we realize the source of these blessings and all the more confidently seek after eternal gifts. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen

Youth News
As Christians, we belong to our families and the family of God. Baptism is how enter into the family of God. Do you desire to be baptized? Would you like to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church? Are you a member of a
Protestant denomination and you would like to learn more about the Catholic faith? If so, we invite you to join us for RCIA in August. "RCIA" stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. It's the process by which adults come into full communion with the Catholic Church. It's free, childcare is provided, we have a lot of fun and we always have something good to eat. RCIA will start in August. If
you have questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].

¡DEJA CRECER LA SEMILLA QUE HAY EN TI! "El Reino de Dios es como un grano de mostaza: al sembrarlo en la tierra es la semilla más pequeña, pero después, brota, se hace más alta que las demás hortalizas." Con frecuencia olvidamos que no somos nosotros los que desarrollamos el Reino, sino que él se desarrolla en nosotros. Incluso los que tenemos como tarea hacer que el Reino se desarrolle en los demás olvidamos ese dato fundamental. No tenemos paciencia para dejar tranquila la semilla, o intentamos tirar de la plantita en cuanto asoma y en vez de ayudarla a crecer la desarraigamos, o damos por perdida la semilla antes de que haya tenido tiempo de germinar. El tiempo no es el mismo para todos. Puede frustrarnos el ansia de producir fruto sin haber pasado por las etapas de crecer como tallo, luego la espiga y por fin el fruto. La vida espiritual tiene su ritmo y hay que procurar seguir los pasos por su orden. La mayoría de las veces nos desanimamos porque no vemos los frutos del esfuerzo. Debemos tener paciencia. Cada paso que demos es un logro y en él ya podemos apreciar el fruto, aunque no lo parezca.
Hermana Gertrudis Muñoz Mendieta I.C.A.S.

Our New Building is Finally Open!
As you who shop our store know, we have long ago outgrown our building (thanks to your fabulous donations!). While we have managed to make due by taking our furniture out of the warehouse each day and selling it in our parking lot (weather permitting), it was truly time consuming and labor intensive. So it was a blessing to us when we were approached by the good people from Concho Resources with a donation of $100,000 that they asked be used for capital improvements. They did so in
honor of Helping Hands treasurer Gil Glinsmann, former Director of Marketing and Midstream for Concho. Gil was being honored for his involvement with the Alpha Crude Connector pipeline, where he was a key person involved with the conceptual design and development of the project and ultimately its sale, resulting in significant value to Concho. The new building will house furniture and other larger items, freeing up much needed space in the
main store. Congratulations Gil for your honor, and know that we are blessed to have you as part of our team. And to Concho...many blessings to all of you for your abundant generosity. We invite everyone to come check out our new addition!
CHILDREN’S BOOK SALE All Children’s Books will be $5 for a BOX from now through the end of June. Please stop by and stock up today! We have many, many books to choose from!
