PARISH PICNIC THANK YOU

A very special thank you to those individuals who volunteered at; donated to; and participated in our Parish Picnic this past Sunday. The day was filled with great weather, tasty food & drinks, music, fun activities for the kids, and good times with family and friends.

Also, a special thanks to Wendy's Restaurant and IHOP for their food donations to our picnic.

We hope you all enjoyed it!

FATHER'S DAY NOVENA

We honor our fathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, godfathers, and grandfathers. There are also those men, who wanted to be fathers, but did not get that fit. Why not honor these men with prayers and words of appreciation?

If you would like your father or any of the above named men prayed for during a Novena starting on Father's Day, June 18th, then please pick up a beautiful inspired card available in the back of the church or the Parish Office. Please take a card, fill out the name on the outer envelope and drop it off in the Parish Office or in the collection baskets. For any questions, please contact our office at 818.888.8200.

OUR PARISH LIBRARY IS OPEN

The Parish Library is now open after the 10AM and 11:30AM Sunday Masses. Stop by to see our collection of Christian books, DVDs, CDs, and magazines. We also have a children's section. To celebrate, we will have free books from our overstock and back issues of Christian magazines. Please stop by and see us!

Why should I be poor in Spirit?

How do I love my enemy? Who is my enemy? Who is my neighbor?

What is radical about addressing God as "Father?"

How important are the Beatitudes in Christian Faith?

How should the admonition about pearls and swine be understood?
