At least for today the rain has ended and this bright ob-
ject in the sky appears to be the sun. We needed rain but
it is nice to see the sun again and give the ground a
chance to absorb all the rainwater.
Next Saturday July 1st is our annual family 4th of July par-
ty starting at 11 AM. Bring the kids and have a great
time. We will start setup at 9 AM so feel free to come and
help.
Because of the 4th holiday, our monthly council business
meeting will be on Wednesday, July 5th, please plan to
attend.
A new item for the calendar is Tuesday August 1st. We
will once again be working with Social Justice at their an-
nual Back to School Carnival. We can use help so plan to
be there at 10 AM for setup in Founders Hall.
Officer installation will be held after the 4 PM mass on
July 8th with dinner to follow at the Hall.
Our battle with State & Supreme concerning non existent
members. Most of you have heard that it is next to im-
possible to get members removed from our roster. Even
if they have moved to who knows where and the Parish
verifies that they are no longer parishioners, we are still
charged both Supreme and State per capita on these

Ladies,
We all bid farewell to a soggy June and look forward to the remaining summer months ahead. Ju-
ly 4th is a grand holiday with patriotism, food, fireworks and fresh fruits and vegetables. The
Knights brake with tradition and celebrate their picnic on the 1st.
The installation of new officers takes place this month and I thank Mary Millay, Clare Evon and
Mary Hale for all the help and support this past year. I believe we had a good year, had fun and
were financially able to provide more to our charity projects. Our Big Time BBQ Dinner was a big
project for us and it turned out to be a grand event. I look forward to the upcoming year and
hopefully we can do even more to add to the fun and excitement to being a member of the Ladies
Auxiliary. We need everyone’s input and ideas to make this work.
Our most recent project of the fans in the lounge is a great improvement to the comfort of the
room. And they look great! A big thank you to Nancy Paulus for undertaking this project.

I like reading Lorraine Murray’s column, entitled Faith and Values, in the AJC. In a recent col-umn she bemoans the lack of silence in our lives. Television holds court in our living rooms, with talking heads putting their own spin on what ought to be news, weather gurus predict the next cataclysm, ridiculous talk shows provide empty chatter, and we are besieged by tons of advertisement --- all at cranked up volumes. The areas which should be filled with calm, doctor offices and elevators, have “muzak” (not music). Some stores have such loud music playing over their systems that a hasty retreat is the best you can do. Computer generated calls and advertisements invade the refuge of our homes. When we do retreat to the refuge of our back yards, we are besieged by the noise of our neighbor’s leaf blower, lawn mover, and the rattle of heavy trucks. “Where is God? Why is He so far away?”, we ask. Perhaps the problem is that we spend so much time tweeting, texting, and making noise, that we do not hear Him. One of the psalms does state, “Be still and know that I am God.” It would be great if we could use our summer getaways, whether it be the ocean, the mountains, or our homes, to change from our routines. It would also be wonderful to take a vacation from noise everyday. Can you get away from the blaring noises? Can you turn off your phone, your tv, your radio? Can you turn off your e-mail and your text, at least for a little while, and attempt to pray? Mother Theresa of Calcutta and her Sisters did, and still do, fantastic work in very difficult cir-cumstances. She stated that the Sisters could not do what they did, unless they knew what
silence was. They did this be spending at least one hour of praying before the Blessed Sacrament each day. You don’t need to go away to a monastery for a retreat, but you do need to retreat from noise. Take a short vacation from noise each day. Blessings, Friar Paul
