Next Sunday’s Outreach Collection: Deacon Ivan Lazcano of
the Divine Word Missionaries will be with us next weekend to
speak about the work of Divine Word Missionaries, who are an
international Religious Community of more than 6,100 Priests
and Brothers who serve in 70 countries around the world. Deacon
Ivan has served as a missionary in Guatemala, Bolivia, Mexico
and the United States. Deacon Ivan divides his time between his
work at the Divine Word Mission Center in Techny, IL,
preaching, directing retreats and ministering at Parishes in issues
of Social Justice and Peace. This Mission Appeal is part of the
Mission Coop Program of our Archdiocese. Please be generous in
the second collection to help support the missionary work of the
Divine Word Missionaries. Their missionaries serve in some of
the most difficult areas of our world. There are booklets in the
back of church with further information on the missionaries’
works.
On Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ/Corpus Christi on June 22nd we will have an hour of
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament immediately following the
11:00 Mass. Please come to spend some time resting with
Christ.
This year Kennedy Heights is celebrating their 100 th year as a
Cincinnati neighborhood . Please see today’s insert for details

Vacation Bible School: Kennedy Heights
Presbyterian Church. It was great fun last year and we hope to
have Upper School helpers as well as primary grade and preschool participants. The dates are June 23rd through June 27th in
the evening. Scripture classes will be held on Thursday evening,
June 12th and 26th in the Parish Office. This is a “get-morecomfortable with the Bible” class, reviewing mostly what the
participants want to know.
