As members of the parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each week because they are ill.

COR s O R N E R Important Tips to Reduce Stress at Work Breathe. You don t even have to leave your desk. Take several deep breaths and let your body relax. St. Francis de Sales Stretch. Stretching can help relax tense muscles and improve posture. Try these exercises from your chair. Interlace your fingers, and straighten your arms out in front of you with palms facing out. Hold this pose for a few seconds. Then, turn your palms upward above your head; reach toward the ceiling and hold. Clear your mind. Think about something else. If you re stuck on a project or just can t think of what to write in that report, take some time away from it. Work on another project, or focus on something completely unrelated to work. Take a break. Give your mind and body a chance to rejuvenate. Take a walk around the building or go to lunch. Grab a pen. Write in a journal or on a scrap piece of paper. It doesn t matter. Allow yourself an opportunity to vent about your co-workers, your boss and your job without worrying about eavesdroppers. Delegate. If you have too much to do, find an officemate who s willing to help with one of your projects. By Stephanie R. Conner

We really appreciate your on-going support of us. Summer means repair time and we hope to take full advantage of the short summer months. Hope you have a nice summer. You re in our prayers and in a special Mass I offer each month. With thanks, Father Ray Our Mission: Praise is what we do; Service is what we are about; and Holiness is what we seek. Mother s Day Peace Project He came and announced the good news of peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near; through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. Eph 2:18 Principles from the Earth Charter: Respect Earth and life in all its diversity. Care for the community of life with understanding, compassion and love. Build democratic societies that are just, participatory, sustainable, and peaceful. Secure Earth s bounty and beauty for present and future generations. Action Idea/s for the Week: Be a pioneer! Imagine a non-consumer society. Take a walk and enjoy your community. Teach your children to be creative and make a toy, play a game together, no video games for a few days Learn about the Geneva Agreement. Sponsored by the Archdiocesan Women s Committee Women & Society Subcommittee Do the kinds of things that come from your heart. When you do you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for someone else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back. - Morrie Schwartz - A Message from the Webmaster In anticipation of launching our new, redesigned web site, we would like to compile an Address Book of parishioners e-mail addresses.
