Please check off the prayers you will offer for Father, include a personal note, and leave them in the basket provided on the table.

It is first-come, first served, so if you are interested, sign-up on the sheet in the back of the church as soon as possible, since there are a limited number of tickets available.
Totus Tuus Camp - Sign up time!
Totus Tuus is Latin for "Totally Yours" and the motto of Pope St. John Paul II. It represents our desire to give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ through the hands of His Immaculate Mother. The summer program endeavors to show youth that a humble and courageous desire to know God must be based upon a steadfast and disciplined life of prayer combined with the reception of the sacraments. We invite children entering 1st through 8th grades to attend our day program from 9-3 on July 16-20 and our high school students to attend the evening program from 7:30-9:30PM from July 15-19. For more information or to register, contact Tina Crocker at 413-896-8576 or email at jtcrocker@crocker.com. Registration forms are also located in the back of the church or at

Catholic Charities Event:
Come Help Us Fill the Gaps
Vermont Catholic Charities is holding a “Vermonters Helping Vermonters” event on June 6th at St. Michael’s College. The event will feature food and beverages from Vermont companies and live music will be provided by the Cassarinos. Proceeds from the event will help Vermont Catholic Charities continue to fill the gaps for the most vulnerable Vermonters. By attending you will help emergency aid clients like John and Sue who are raising their 2 year old grandson. They faced a utility disconnect due to a family illness and raising their grandson. Vermont Catholic Charities helped pay the bill to keep their power on. To learn more about the event and purchase tickets, visit vermontcatholic.org/vermontershelpingvermonters
