Celebrate Mass. Something Wonderful is going to happen! While we are in “ordinary” time, there is nothing ordinary about it! Come see.
What if we began to treat our Bibles the way we treat our cell phones?
What if we …
-carried it with us everywhere?
-turned back to get it if we forgot it?
-checked it for messages throughout the day?
-used it in case of an emergency?
-spent an hour or more each day using it?
Prayer to St. William
God our father, in Saint William, your bishop, you gave a light to your faithful people. You made him a pastor of the church to feed your sheep with his word and to teach them by his example. Help us by his prayers to keep the faith he taught and follow the way of life he showed us. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Anyone interested in using one of our halls? See, call, or e-mail Fr. Hils. You can reach him at 859-824-5381 or email him at frhils@gmail.com
Do you know someone who might be interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Each year in late August / early September, we start our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) classes for those interested in looking at the Catholic Church. Have them call or see Father Hils.
How well do you know your Faith? Take the Monthly challenge and see!
Please don’t forget our St. Vincent dePaul pantry!

St. John Mission
If you wish to join on Sunday before 8:00 am Mass, we pray the Rosary at St John Mission. What a fantastic way to start a Sunday!! We also pray the Rosary at 6:00 pm Thursdays. What better way could you wrap a Thursday up then to spend a few minutes with the wonderful people of St John Mission, praying to the Blessed Mother!

Prayer for Vocations
God, our Father
You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that You inspire those in our Diocese whom You are calling to the priesthood to courageously follow Your will. Send laborers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by the sacraments.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
St. Vincent dePaul Society:
Wow! What a busy week. We had 5 – 6 calls a day last week for various needs. It is a blessing that we have the St. Vincent collection this week for which I will thank you in advance. Sometimes we have furniture, clothing, or miscellaneous items that are in fairly good shape but we no longer need them. A St. Vincent truck will be in the Church parking lot the weekend of June 9th. They can help you dispose of some things and it will help them help others in their stores. If you know of someone who is in need of a fan or air conditioner, the Summer Breeze program is going on. This program tries to meet such needs. Your help and support is really appreciated. If you have any questions call Kathy at 866-0430.

“God does not love me because I am good. He loves me because He is good.” St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Louis de Montfort wrote of these beautiful virtues of Our Lady to imitate:
- Ardent Charity: Letting her love for God be the driving force behind every decision
- Profound Humility: Knowing who she is before God, nothing more and nothing less
- Universal Mortification: Seeking to lay down her life and her will at every moment
- Constant Mental Prayer: Always being aware of God’s presence
- Blind Obedience: Following God’s call without counting the cost
- Divine Wisdom: Always begging for God’s Spirit to guide her
- Surpassing Purity: Having a heart immaculately clean and unstained by sin
- Angelic Sweetness: Radiating joy and peace to everyone she encountered
- Lively Faith: Constantly seeking God’s will and never settling for complacency
- Heroic Patience: Always trusting that God was on the move; having more faith in His plans than her own
