Second Collection: Seminarian Fund Appeal Support Those “Answering God’s Call”

By the grace of God, the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana currently has twenty seminarians. This certainly shows that God continues to call young men to the priesthood from our parishes. Please help support our seminarians by supporting their calling. Next weekend our parish will take a collection for the training of these men to be our future priests in the Diocese of

Lafayette-in-Indiana. Will you help support our seminarians? Please look at today’s bulletin insert, and use the envelope provided for your gift. St. Augustine’s goal for the campaign is $4,266.00. Please be generous!

Congratulations to all of our Graduates! At the Graduation Mass on May 22nd, several graduates were honored for their service to our parish and community:

Nichole Stath & Keegan Stevens were the recipients of the Herman Nagel Server Award. The Herman Nagel Server Award program was created in honor of long time St. Augustine parishioner, Herman Nagel. Herman was a dedicated server from early childhood through his senior

years. This program was created to honor and reward our high school senior servers that have continued to serve Mass throughout their high school career. The group wanted to recognize these individuals for their service to God, the church, and to the parishioners. Each recipient will receive a monetary reward.

Michael Effinger & Nichole Stath were the recipients of the Knights of Columbus Council 1881 Scholarship.

Garrett Eldridge was the recipient of the Five Star Merit Award. The Five Star Merit Award was established in 2002 by members of the St. Augustine Class of 1979. An award given to a fifth grade student at St. Augustine School, who excels in five areas: Academics, Leadership, Christianity, Sportsmanship, and Loyalty. The student received a plaque in fifth grade and upon graduating from high school the student receives a monetary award from a scholarship fund made possible through charitable contributions.

St. Augustine’s graduating peer ministers, Nichole Stath, Kaitlin Nagel, Jillian Lucero, Sam Ahler, and Keegan Stevens were honored and recognized for their dedication and service to St. Augustine’s youth.

A Note from the Parish Nurse: June is National Safety Month

Injuries are a leading cause of disability for people of all ages — and they are the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1 to 44. The good news is everyone can get involved to help prevent injuries.

During National Safety Month, St. Augustine is working with community members to help reduce the risk of injuries. This June, we encourage you to learn more about important safety issues like prescription painkiller abuse, transportation safety, and slips, trips, and falls.

Prescription painkiller abuse: Prescription painkiller overdoses

are a growing problem in the United States, especially among women. About 18 women die every day from a prescription painkiller overdose — more than 4 times as many as back in 1999.

Transportation safety: Doing other activities while driving —

like texting or eating — distracts you and increases your chance of crashing. Almost 1 in 5 crashes (17%) that injured someone involved distracted driving.

Slips, trips, and falls: One in 3 older adults falls each year.

Many falls lead to broken bones and other health problems. You can make a difference. Find out ways to help reduce the risk of these safety issues.

Safety proofing your home pamphlets are available at

each entrance and the church office. Please feel free to grab one.

For more information, contact Jocelyn Ventrello, Parish Nurse.

Wedding Banns

Please pray for Laura Benner & Nicholas Reed, who will marry on June

11th. Due to the floor renovation at St. A, they are to be married at St. Lawrence

Catholic Church in Lafayette, IN.

American Flag Ceremony The Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus will be

conducting an American Flag Ceremony in June of this year. From now until the date of the ceremony, the K of

C will be collecting flags that are worn and torn, no longer serviceable. In a week or two, we will be placing a container in the

vestibule of our church where your flags can be deposited. All clean American flags being donated should be properly folded

before placing them in the K of C container. We appreciate your help in making our planned event successful. If you have any

questions, please call Bob Evans at 765-426-7600. Thank you.

Floor and Pew Restoration Project Update: The floor and pew project is

underway! The church and school hallway tiles have been removed. The new tile is being cut and will

begin being installed. The pews are being stripped, stained and

varnished off-site. Pictured is the progress on the school hallways

after the tile was removed. More pictures can be found on the

church website– www.saugustine.org.

Thank you to all of the volunteers that have helped move the heavy items from the old tile floor. Many

hands have made this project progress on time and smoothly!

Congratulations! Best wishes and prayers to Clayton & Trisha Nagel!

They were joined together in holy matrimony at Saint

Augustine on April 23rd. May God bless your marriage!
