Faith Fusion 4,5,6th Grade Preparation: Many leaders have indicated the need for a “catch up” curriculum for 4th-6th graders who have little to no previous formation.  Our Sunday Visitor/Harcourt has responded to this need with an excellent new curriculum.   Contact Peter Poppleton from OSV to order or review material. ppoppleton@osv.com

Announcements/Prayer Intentions

 

If you have any special prayer intentions, please share them with us so we can ask other leaders to pray for them.

 

The Pope’s intentions for June are:  
General:  Respect for Human Life That every national and transnational institution may strive to guarantee respect for human life from conception to natural death.

Missionary: The Churches in Asia That the Churches in Asia, which constitute a “little flock” among non-Christian populations, may know how to communicate the Gospel and give joyful witness to their adherence to Christ.
