We would like to welcome Fr. Clement from Chicago and his sharing with us. The ushers will now take up a second collection which will go to Fathers' home place in Nigeria. Thank you for your generosity.

 

We have been trying to figure out what to do with our Parish Picnic. The Park in Culver City is not available for any week-end in July. If there are people who would like to get together and come up with a plan, please call me or talk to me after Mass. We have a beautiful green lawn that could be used, just one suggestion.

The Festival Committee is meeting on Monday, June 7th  at 7pm in the Pastoral Office. Please make it a priority to be there.
