Thanks for your Service
Thanks to DGK David Hobson and Brothers Karl Hennings, Don Hoeveler, Kevin Eaves for assistance in the Adopt a Highway Trash Pick Up along FM359 on Saturday, 5/21.  We completed the run in a little under 2 hours and ended up with 11 bags of trash but no one came up with any treasures as has been experienced in the past and rubber boots were advisable for covering the unmowed areas.  Hope to see you assisting in the 3Q activity that has yet to be scheduled.  

Also on Saturday the above Knights relocated over to Parishioner Barbara Gritczek's yard for a start at the clean up.  The heat and humidity really drained the enthusiasm of the work crew.  Work was directed at the front yard on this visit and about 1/4th of the front yard work was completed after about 2 hours time.  Still a good 10-12 hours of work on Mrs. Gritczek's clean up wish list that will have to be scheduled out in time.  With the summer heat upon us this may have to be scheduled out of 3-4 work days.    
Franciscan Brother Cliff Hennings' Ordination
One of our own Parishioners, Franciscan Brother Cliff Hennings, will be Ordained into the Priesthood on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at Saint Clement Catholic Church (4536 Vine Street; Cincinnati, Ohio) at 10:00AM.  Br. Cliff's 1st Mass will be celebrated on June 12, 2016 at St Monica-St George also in Cincinnati at 10:30AM.  Br. Cliff is a son of Brother Knight Karl and Susan Hennings.

For us stay-cationers, Br. Cliff will celebrate Mass at Sacred Heart in Richmond at the 11:30AM Mass on June 19th, Father's Day.  A reception will follow.  Check the church bulletin for details.
