Piarist School Supply (pink) envelopes are available in the narthex. Each year we collect funds to be used by the school for the educational needs of the students in this very poor area of Kentucky. Please make checks payable to: St. Patrick’s, St. Mary’s or Immaculate Conception. Return your donation in the collection basket this weekend, July 30th & 31st and next weekend, August 6th & 7th. All donations are due by August 14th.

To recite the rosary is nothing other than to contemplate the face of Christ with Mary.

If you would like to be a money counter please contact Elizabeth at the parish office. Please help with this important service! Thanks!

We are in need of more servers for Mass (both children and adults) at all three of our parishes. If you are a boy 9 years old or older or an adult man and wish to serve please contact Fr. David and there will be a formal training to get you going. Thanks!

Please consider signing up to pray for Deacon Pat Wille after Mass this weekend as we have adopted him during his last year of seminary beginning in mid-August. The commitment is: just one time per month to pray a short prayer of your choice, or an Our Father, or a rosary. Many days are still available. Sign-up sheets are at all 3 parishes! Thank you!!

Guided, in fact, by divine inspiration and grace, St. Dominic foresaw that the devotion of the Rosary, like a most powerful warlike weapon, would be the means of putting the enemy to flight, and of confounding their audacity and mad impiety.

Are you a Catholic creator: a painter, potter, singer, songwriter, poet, crafter, embroiderer, graphic artist, or candle maker? Whatever you enjoy creating, if you are a woman 18 years old or older, consider taking a weekend for rest, renewal, and evangelization through your art. September 30-October 2, St. Matthew parish in Champaign will host Enkindle, a diocesan-wide women artists retreat. The pinnacle of this retreat will be a parish potluck at St. Matthew Saturday, October 1 where you will be able to share your art with the parish. Email [email protected] for retreat schedule and registration form.

There will be a party for our beloved Fr. Nimo on Sunday, August 7th after Mass at St. Patrick’s hall. We are all deeply grateful for his time with us!!! We are sad to see him go, but as before we will be taking up a collection for Fr. Nimo’s Mission in Ghana in the form of cash or check. Fr. Nimo asks, on that day; please make checks out to St. Patrick’s. We will be having a Pot Luck! Fried Chicken will be provided. Please bring a salad, vegetable dish, potatoes, or a dessert. Coffee, tea & lemonade will be served. Bring your own wine if you wish. Please come and support his Mission in Ghana and say farewell.

When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”

The immense good that this noble devotion of the rosary has done to the world is well known. How any, by its means, have been delivered from sin! How many led to a holy life! How many to a good death, and are now saved!

A big thank you to all those who helped make noodles in June!!! The noodle making dates for July are July 11/12 and July 25/26. All are welcome!
