We are looking for volunteers to serve on a board of

education, for teachers and for involvement in our youth

activities.

A BIG SAN ANTONIO WELCOME

We wish to welcome our newly registered parishioners to San Antonio: Suzanne Nichol

Brynn Goldate Maureen Stasi

SAFE ENVIRONMENT

There will be a Safe Environment Training Class at St.

Maximillian Kolbe Church, 1441 Spear St., Port Charlotte

on Thursday, June 21, 2018 at 6:00PM. The class takes

two hours. If you are a new volunteer this class is

required. Please reserve your seat by going on line to Diocese of

Venice-Safe Environment.

FLU SEASON HAS PEAKED

The Center for Disease Control has reported that the

flu season has peaked and flu activity in Florida is

now minimal. While it is still prudent for parishes to

ensure thorough hand-washing takes place before

and after Mass, the precautions instituted in January

are now rescinded. We also remind parishioners to

remain home if they are ill.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

Canon Law #534-1 “After a pastor has taken possession

of his parish, he is obliged to apply a Mass for the people

entrusted to him on each Sunday and holy day of

obligation in his diocese.” So, there is a Mass said for all

of us every week!

FATHER’S DAY INTENTIONS

If you haven’t already submitted your Father’s Day intentions,

please do so by Monday June 11th. You may use the

envelopes on the chair backs or simply write the names

on a piece of paper marked Father’s Day intentions and

either drop it in the offertory basket, or drop it by the

office. You may also call the office and give the

information to the receptionist. Please print the names

clearly.

EMMAUS SUMMER BOOK CLUB

Our fourth annual summer book club begins Wednesday, June 20, and continues weekly through August 1, with no meeting on Wednesday July 4th. This year in addition to an evening meeting, we are offering a morning meeting. Both sessions will meet in the youth room in the Ministry Building. The meeting time for the morning session is immediately after the 8:00AM Mass, and the evening session is from 7:00PM to 8:30PM. Please email Loretta Sproul at gatorfan4@comcast.net if you will attend, and indicate which session (morning or evening) you plan on attending. Note that if we don’t have enough women for the morning session it will be cancelled. The book club is open to all interested women, so invite your friends! The book this year is Be Healed, A Guide to Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life, by Bob Schuchts. It is available through amazon.com (lowest price), booksamillion.com and barnesandnoble.com in paper back, new and used. This book was the subject of a talk given by Fr. Sean Monahan, assistant director at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Retreat Center, at the Diocesan Catechetical Day. It was also presented by Fr. Sean in a 3-day retreat at OLPH this past May. At our first meeting, we will discuss the first two chapters of the book and the questions within those chapters. If you have any questions please email Loretta Sproul at gatorfan4@comcast.net.

The 2018 "Hurricane Season" is under way and already

there has been one named tropical storm. The season will

continue through November 30 and all are encouraged to

pray for protection from the storms that often threaten

Southwest Florida. The devastation brought by Hurricane

Irma in 2017 reinforces the fact that we need to pray for

God's protection and care.

PRAYER FOR SAFETY DURING

HURRICANE SEASON

O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble

voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your

order and returned to its former quietude.

You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the

shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the

Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its

seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries,

invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster.

During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving

Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are

still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal

with passing of time.

O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our beloved Mother, we ask

you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that, spared

from the calamities common to this area and animated

with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the

footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly

Jerusalem, where a stormless eternity awaits us. Amen.

[Composed by Most Rev. Maurice Schexnayder (1895-

1981), Second Bishop of Lafayette (1956-1973),

following Hurricane Audrey in 1957]
