Chrysler Ride and Drive is Back! On Sunday, June 3rd from 8:30 to 11:30 St.

Mary School will be hosting a fabulous fundraiser

that is so easy that it only takes about 10 minutes

of your time! Here’s how it works. For anyone 18

years of age or older who test drives a car around

the parking lot on Sunday, June 3rd, Chrysler will donate $10.00 to our school! That’s all there is to

it! Imagine earning $10.00 for our school for only

about 10 minutes of your time. How much easier

can it be?! But wait; it gets even better! If we can

get 100 test drives, we will get a bonus of $250.00! Wait there’s more; if we can get 150 test

drives, Chrysler will add an extra $500.00 to our

total! How awesome is that? Can it get any

better? Yes it can! If we have the largest number

of test drives in our region, Chrysler will award an

additional $5000.00 to our school! How exciting is that?! Please come, bring your family, friends, and

neighbors to test drive a car to help raise easy

money for our school. While you are here you can

enjoy a wonderful breakfast cooked by the Men’s

Club with special guest star Cinderella! Bring your little princesses and princes to enjoy Cinderella

and raise money for St. Mary School. All money

raised will go towards the purchase of our new

Reading Curriculum. Thank you so much for your

help. ~Veronica Kinsey

June 18 – 22, 2012

MEMORIAL DAY 2012 The Preamble to the Constitution of

The American Legion calls on us to

“preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the Great Wars…” It is important that all veterans, their families and –

in fact, all Americans – pause to reflect on, remember and give thanks to our many heroes. We owe them no less. We must never

forget what these heroes have done and what their loved ones have

lost.

SUPPORT VOCATIONS & CATHOLIC

MILITARY CHAPLAINS Currently, 285 Catholic military chaplains provide pastoral

care to over 1.5 million Catholics on ships, in combat, on bases

and in 153 VA hospitals. Today in the bulletin, there is a form

for the Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) to fund

their Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program, which identifies

vocations within the military and is now educating 30 men for

the priesthood and subsequent military chaplaincy. The AMS

has no parishes from which to draw financial support and relies

solely on donations. See the bulletin insert or website for more

information: http://www.milarch.org/faq

Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the Church and the beginning of its

mission in the world. Pentecost Sunday reminds us that our lives are filled with the Holy Spirit and God has accomplished creative things in us through this gift. We have been entrusted with this great gift of

the Holy Spirit. Now is a good time to ask: Are we being good stewards of this gift?

What creative things have we done to glorify God’s accomplishments in us?
