1. The two-bit collection is for our parish Birthright. Your contributions will support the trained volunteers who help young women in crisis pregnancies. They offer friendship, encouragement, free pregnancy tests and concrete help. Their support is totally confidential and ongoing throughout the pregnancy. Besides your support in this collection, they also accept donations of infant clothes, diapers and maternity clothes. Their motto is “it is the right of every woman to give birth…and the right of every child to be born.” They have a 24 hour hotline number and a local phone number that is on the front of our bulletin.

2. This Tuesday we have the Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation ceremony for Holy Family School eighth graders. All are welcome to attend.

3. June 5 is First Thursday. Frs. Velasco and Bloom will be available for confessions from 6 to 8 p.m. First Friday Mass will be at 8:30 a.m. Mr. Lutz extends a special invitation to coffee and donuts in the Tice Hall, immediately after the First Friday Mass. Please see his School News column for more information, including the special collection for the Randy Terlicker Fund next weekend.

4. The bulletin contains information about Marriage Encounter, Young Adult Scripture Study, the need for Altar Boys and much more. Please be sure to take home a bulletin and read it carefully.
