Pick Up Your ACA Card After Mass this Weekend The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) has recently begun and continues through June 3. The ACA sustains ministries and services throughout Saint Louis and 10 surrounding counties including Catholic Charities, Respect Life, Family & Social Responsibility, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, and the Office of Youth Ministry. Please stop by the table in the courtyard after Mass this weekend to pick up your donation card. Also, those who have donated in the past should have already received a donation card for this year’s contribution. If you have already donated, thank you! Otherwise, donations can be mailed, placed in the Sunday collection, or you can give online at https://aca.archstl.org/. Thank you for your support of so many important ministries!

Happy Feast of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati tomorrow! Every day, my love for the mountains grows more and more. If my studies permitted, I'd spend whole days in the mountains contemplating the Creator's greatness in that pure air. In a world gone astray from God there is no peace, but it also lacks charity, which is true and perfect love. ... In God’s marvelous plan, Divine Providence often uses the tiniest twigs to do good works. Faith enables us to bear the thorns with which our life is woven.

Mass on Monday, July 5th, will be at 8am.

We are resuming the taking up of the Sunday collection at this time by ushers. As in the past, we need 2 volunteers for each of the Sunday Masses. The collection baskets can be found in the southwest vestibule near the steps to the choir loft. Thank you for your help.

Happy 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time !
