difficult either, because on the path of love
the Lord does things in such a way that we

V O C A T I O N C O R N E R
May the Sacred
Heart of Jesus
transform all men,
especially fathers,
to trust in the model
of St. Joseph to instill
in them courageous
leadership and devotion
for those whom God has
placed in their care.
OBLIGATION TO ATTEND MASS Bishop McKnight has dispensed us
from
the obligation to attend Sunday Mass
and Holy Days of Obligation until
September 11, 2020, provided that we
do one of the following:
† Participate in the Sunday or Holy Day of Obligation Mass
livestreamed from
our parish, the Cathedral, or the
Vatican.
† Prayerfully read and meditate on the readings of the Mass for
the Sunday
or Holy Day of Obligation, and recite
the rosary.
† Prayerfully read and meditate on the readings of the Mass for
the Sunday
or Holy Day of Obligation, and recite
the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Those who are 65 years of age or older,
and those with medical conditions, are
highly encouraged not to go to Mass
when it is likely that there will be a large
number of the faithful in attendance or
if social distancing and the wearing of
face masks are not observed.

People of the Parish
F R O M F R . J O N E S
Dear people of St Martin’s, what a joy
it has been for me to serve this parish
over the last 14 months! I am truly
thankful for the hospitality and
welcome I have received during my
short tenure as your parish
administrator, and I truly wish that our
time together was not coming to an
end.
I know that the set-up we had was
not always an easy one. Having a
priest who has another full-time
position plus a family will always pose
a challenge for all involved, and I
know that has been the case at
St Martin’s from time to time. I truly
appreciate your patience as I’ve
tried to juggle all three, and your
understanding as sometimes things
slipped through the cracks.
Thank you!
I am confident that you all will thrive
under the leadership of Fr. Doke and
will enjoy his presence and ministry to
the parish.
Please pray for my new ministry as
Director of Stewardship for the diocese
and for the success of our endeavors
to introduce the stewardship model to
all our parishes. It will be quite the task,
but I am confident that, with God’s
help, we will succeed.
I look forward to being back at
St Martin’s at times in my new role,
and I look forward to all of us growing
further in our faith and in our ministries
on behalf of Jesus and His Church.
Many blessings to you all!

PARISH NEWS & EVENTS
PARISH SCHOOL AND YO UTH NEWS
MONDAY SCRIPTURE GROUP The Monday evening Scripture Group
has resumed meeting on Monday
evenings at 7pm at church. For more
information contact Barb Mertens at
893-4796. Everyone is welcome to join.
PARISH FISH FRY Planning for our Fish Fry in July: A Faith,
Fun and Fellowship Event on Picnic
Sunday is well under way. The event
will be held on Sunday, July 12, our
regular picnic Sunday from12pm-5pm.
Thank you to Julie Clingman who
agreed to chair the event and all of the
people who have volunteered to plan
and organize the various areas.
We will have a drive-thru meal of fried
fish, fried potato chips, coleslaw and
cornbread. There will be live music to
entertain those waiting in line, along with
opportunities to support the parish and
school by participating in a 50/50 raffle,
the Home and School Association’s UTV
raffle, and an online auction of quilts and
other items.
The quilts will be on display in the gym
beginning the weekend of June 20-21.
Ways you can help with the event:
Donate non-perishable items for the
online auction. Generally these
would be items valued over $25.
Donate toward the cost of food.
Volunteer to work. Contact Andrea
Fender at 893-3519 or 694-0586 if you
are able to assist with the event.
Pray for the success of the event
Invite your family and friends to
come eat and participate in the
raffles and online auction
Help advertise by mentioning in your
social media accounts
We are following the cautious approach
used by Immaculate Conception Parish
in Loose Creek when having our
drive-thru meal. As such, those
parishioners under the age of 18 and
over the age of 65 are not being asked
to work the event. However, we are
asking all parishioners to assist in some
manner. We particularly encourage all
those not physically working the event to
pray for its success! Also, if you are
unable to work, please consider making
a financial gift to offset the cost of food.
EXCAVATING HELP NEEDED We have an opportunity to bring
fiber optic Internet to our parish
campus. Centurylink has a fiber/high
speed cable buried across the street
from our church. The city is installing
a crossing light in front of our
church’s west driveway in June.
At that time, the city will put in
conduit pipe so Centurylink can run
the fiber cable under the road to our
property. We are hoping to have a
trench dug from the shoulder on the
north side of the road to church and
from church to school in order to lay
conduit and fiber to equipment in
church and school. As such, we are
looking for parishioners or businesses
who have equipment that can
perform the digging, laying of
conduit and running of cable to
help with this project. If you can
help, please contact our principal,
Mrs. Julie Clingman at
[email protected] or
Debbie Boeckman, our technology
coordinator at
[email protected] as soon
as possible. By connecting all
buildings on our parish campus, we
will consolidate from three Internet
accesses at 10 mbps to one Internet
access at 300mbps for a minor cost
increase. This will provide much
better access, will eliminate
duplicate network equipment and
will reduce network maintenance
time which is done by volunteers.
PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN St. Martin Parish School is
taking
applications for Preschool and
Kindergarten students for the
2020-2021 school year. To apply
please contact the school office.
ST MARTIN’S GARAGE SALES St. Martins’ annual community-wide
garage sale is scheduled for June 26
and/or June 27, 2020. We are again
asking for those who participate to
contribute $2 to cover the cost of
advertising in the newspapers. For
more information or to pay the $2,
contact Helen Kliethermes, 337 West
Forest Lane (893-3693) or Virginia
Bayne, 345 Verdant Lane (893-8761).
