THEN I, JOHN, saw a new heaven and a new earth... I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them as their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, for the old order has passed away." The One who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things

The Ascension of the Lord

Sunday, June 9

Pentecost

SPONSOR OF THE WEEKWe wish to thank myPARISH APP

for sponsoring an ad in our weekly bulletin.

SPIRITUAL BOOK GROUP THIS WEEK May is the month of Mary, and

what better book to read than Word by Word—Slowing Down with the

Hail Mary. Editor Sarah Reinhard asked for reflections about individual

words of this prayer from forty popular Catholic men and women writers.

Discussion is Tuesday, May 21, at 7 pm. Contact email for the group:

SpiritualBookGroup@steas.net.

PRAY ALWAYS Did you know you could join our Prayer Ministry to pray for

specific needs of parishioners—and their friends and loved ones—right

where you are, whenever you can! Send a note to prayers@steas.net and

asked to be added to the Prayers email list! This list is only for those who

wish to be added to what is called in some churches a “prayer chain.” But we

know it’s actually a ministry! (This list is not used for any other purpose.)

TIME TO GET CLEARANCES! Our nursery is closed for the summer, but

we’re already looking ahead to fall, when CCD starts again! Won’t you

consider becoming a volunteer at least once a month during the

9 o’clock Mass? Yes? OK then! Please contact Patty Wargo,

pwargo@steas.net, or Tracy Kovaleski, tkovaleski@steas.net. They can

help you with the Youth Protection clearance you’ll need.

NOT THAT FAR AWAY … We have three areas reserved for tent camping

for our parish at Pine Grove Furnace State Park from June 7 to 9. We're

planning activities and one large communal dinner on Saturday night. If

you’re tent-camping, please let us know you’re coming! If you have a camper

instead of a tent, you'll need to make your own reservation in one of the

areas that can accommodate campers. Find information and online

reservation for campers at links.steas.net/StEASFamilyCampout

BUYING FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL DAY? That would be a good time to

pick up an extra red geranium or two to nurture for Pentecost! On

Pentecost, our parish has a great tradition of wearing red and bringing red

geraniums for the altar. Afterwards, we plant the geraniums outside to

enjoy and beautify our grounds and neighborhood! The local nurseries tell

us many geraniums are purchased for Memorial Day, so you might want to

get your Pentecost geraniums at the same time, give them TLC for a couple

of weeks, then bring in to church any time after Tuesday, June 4, in time for

Pentecost on June 9.

DROP OFF BABY BOTTLES UNTIL FATHER’S DAY And if you’d like to do

more—Sizes 4 & 5 & 6 Diapers; Baby Wipes & Baby Wash & Diaper Cream;

One-piece Sleepers (All sizes, Newborn through 3T); Girls (0-3 months)

Summer Items (onesies, sleepers, outfits, coats); Boys (12-month) Summer

Items (onesies, sleepers, outfits, coats); Similac Formula (Advanced and

Sensitive); NEW Pack N Plays, NEW Car Seats, NEW Strollers. Thanks!

PARISH MISSION PROJECT NEXT WEEKEND Saint Francis of Assisi Parish

does so much good in its community, shining the light of Christ. This is our

opportunity to be blessed by participating in their ministries. Put you

contributions in the Parish Mission slots in the Narthex and at Hertzler Rd.
