Volunteers are needed to prepare meals, set up
the area on the Sunday before the families arrive,
take down the area the Sunday the families leave,
do laundry, and act as hosts each day to stay with
families for various activities and overnight.
Hosting will take place in shifts. There will be a
breakfast shift, dinner shift, evening shift, and an
overnight shift each day. At least two volunteers
are needed for each shift.
Families arrive at a church location on Sunday
afternoons/evenings; share a continental breakfast
each morning; are picked up and taken to the
Family Promise day center with a sack lunch; re-
turn in the evenings for dinner and to stay the
night; and are picked up the following Sunday
morning.
This is a great opportunity to serve our commu-
nity as an individual or a family. Training will be
provided Tuesday May 23rd and Saturday June
3rd, times to be announced.

The following message was sent to us by
Deacon Mike Monagle:
The Bible and the Virgin Mary
The month of May has traditionally been desig-
nated by the Catholic Church as a special time to
honor Mary Mother of God. This month is
particularly notable as the Church celebrates the
100th anniversary of the appearance of Our Lady
at Fatima.
But many people don’t fully appreciate Mary’s
role in mankind’s salvation. Exactly who is the
Blessed Virgin Mary? What is her role in God’s
plan for the world? What vital role does she play
in our lives?
If you would like to find the answer to these
questions and better understand how essential she
really is to your faith journey, come join us in ex-
ploring the video series, The Bible and the
Virgin Mary. Based upon Dr. Scott Hahn’s
bestselling book Hail, Holy Queen, this 12 week
series unveils the mysteries of Our Lady.
Sessions begin Thursday May 18th, 6:30pm, St.
Peter’s Hall, at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic
Church. Each episode is approximately 30
minutes, followed by prayer and discussion.
