Baby Bottle Drive for PRMC
Thank you all again for your generosity. If you still have a Baby Bottle (with or without a donation), please return it to the Parish Administration Building so we can return it to the Pregnancy Resource Medical Center. The PRMC reuses all the bottles, so it’s important that we get as many back as possible. Knights begin new year under leadership of newly elected officers The Knights of Columbus St. Angela Merici Council will begin a new fraternal year on July 1 and will have a newly elected set of officers to direct the Council. Chris Breaux and Joe Peltier will lead the Council going forward as Grand Knight and Deputy Grand Knight respective-ly. Please join me in congratulating Chris and Joe. I am confident they will receive the same outstanding support from the parishioners as I have experienced over the past two years.

“KEEPING UP WITH KIDS’ CLUB” It is hard to imagine that in less than two months, we will be starting a new year in Kids’ Club! I can hardly wait!
I have been busy writing lesson plans and working with John to come up with ideas that will make teaching and volunteering easier and more efficient. I think this may prove to be the best year yet!
We have to remember that if we don’t teach our young people to believe and trust in the love of Jesus Christ, the world will give them every reason not to.
See you around the Church. In Christ, Carol
THANK YOU for your prayers! Our kids had an amazing weekend at Steubenville!!!! This is one of many events our kids are able to participate in because of our annual Gumbo Cook-off: We THANK YOU for your support of our youth!
THE NATIVITY OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST John is his name. Much to the amaze-ment of everyone present, writing on a tablet, the tongue-tied Zechariah affirmed
Elizabeth in announcing that the long-longed-for child is named “John”. Contrary to custom, it was not the name of any relatives, but rather the name given to the child by the Angel Gabriel who announced his coming. It was a big deal. Immediately, Zechari-ah’s tongue was freed and people wondered about the child’s fu-ture. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah, speaking his first words in months, prophesized John would prepare the way for the Messi-ah, give knowledge of salvation, and encourage people to seek for-giveness of their sins. From the moment of his birth, it was known that John the Baptizer was created for a special purpose, critical to the future of everyone. But after all the prophesies, hopes, and wondering of others, the time came when John had to claim his name and destiny as his own. And John came through for all of us! Indeed, John the Baptizer was and is a big deal. He continues to be an incredibly valuable companion in our faith journey. The prophet Isaiah is also a big deal. One of the greatest proph-ets, he came at a critical time in Israel’s history, calling the people back to faithfulness and to reliance on God’s promises. In our First Reading today, Isaiah recognizes whose he is and what he is called for—The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name. . . You are my servant, he said to me, Israel, through whom I show my glory. What is your name? Your name and your birthday are a big deal too. Notwithstanding the absence of visible angels and tied-tongues, God was no less involved in your naming and in creating you for a unique purpose for the salvation of the world. As our Psalm reminds us, we were “wonderfully made”! And don’t for-get—at your Baptism, you were anointed priest, prophet, and king. Looking at you that day, people wondered about your future too. Some may have thought that that you would carry on the family legacy of a law career or medical research. Or did they hope you would become a public servant, teach, create a tranquil home and loving family, or give your life to the Church? Most parents hope their children will surpass them in talents and achievements, and live fruitfully, without overwhelming hardships. All of us carry the hopes of those who came before. But whatever they hoped or wondered about, the time has come, if you haven’t already, to claim your name and destiny as your own. The time is now to use your very self to serve the Lord, to give Him glory. It can sound fearfully daunting. All true servants, all true prophets shudder in awe of the task, in awareness of their limita-tions. Not to worry! It is that very humility that will make you a big deal in the eyes of God too.

TAKE IT TO HEART No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bride-groom’s voice. For this reason my joy has been ful-filled. He must increase, but I must decrease. John the Bap st in John 3:26-30
