UNCLE AL’S THRIFT SHOP

You just never know when a pop-up sale is going to well, pop up, at Uncle Al’s. They’re always exciting and fun,

but on June 4 and 5 there was a real winner: long pants, men’s and women’s, for $1.00! Can you imagine — every

pair of long pants on the racks, no exclusions. That means even the pants that were hung a few days prior, even

the pants with the special labels, just $1.00. That’s why we say stop in often — you just never know what exciting

sale might be happening that day.

Thank you to our parishioners and community neighbors for the steady donations that keep us busy at the shop

and keep the customers coming. Uncle Al’s is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00am to 4:00pm and

on Saturday from 11:00am to 3:00pm.

All proceeds benefit St. Joseph-Immaculate Conception Church.

June 2021

Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Dear friends in the Lord:

Dioceses across the country are preparing to collect an offering for the Church in Latin America and The Catholic

Home Missions Appeal this weekend. I ask for your support with these vital requests.

In Latin America, solidarity is promoted throughout the hemisphere by providing support for pastoral projects

here and in the Caribbean. As an example, the Diocese of Cúcuta has been a migration point for needy

Venezuelan refugees coming in search of food, medicine, and daily necessities. For several years, the diocese’s

welcome centers have served more than 1,000 meals each day to hungry migrants. The primary center, at Casa

de Paso Divina Providencia, has been addressing the necessities of these refugees with resources as well as

assistance from local businesses, charities and parishes.

Your help with The Catholic Home Missions will assist in making a difference in the lives of our brothers and

sisters right here in the United States by strengthening the Church in our own backyard.

I am counting on your usual generosity again this year. Your support is vital as it brings new life into the world.

When you contribute, you become an instrument of peace and join with Catholics across the continents in

solidarity with them. If you would like more information, you may visit either of these websites:

www.usccb.org/latin-america and www.usccb.org/home-missions.

With prayerful best wishes to you and your families, I am,

Devotedly yours in Christ,

+Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan

Archbishop of New York

SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 5: 6-10

Whether we are at home or away, we aspire to please the Lord.

Brothers and sisters: We are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are

away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body

and go home to the Lord. Therefore we aspire to please him, whether we are at home or away. For we must all

appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense according to what he did in the

body, whether good or evil.

GOSPEL Mark 4: 26-34

It is the smallest of all seeds, and becomes the largest of plants.

Jesus said to the crowds: “This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the

land and would sleep and rise night and day and through it all the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how.

Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the

grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.”

He said, “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a

mustard see that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it

springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its

shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it. Without parables

he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.
