UPCOMING SECOND COLLECTIONS

June 8 & 9 Peter’s Pence

The Peter’s Pence Collection enables the Holy Father to respond with

emergency financial assistance to requests to aid the neediest

throughout the world—those who suffer as a result of war,

oppression, and natural disasters. It likewise provides the faithful with

a tangible opportunity to not only empower the weak, defenseless,

and voiceless, but also sustain those who suffer.

June 15 & 16 Sacred Heart Food Pantry

Digital Giving Notice! For the last year, the Diocese of

Wheeling Charleston has underwritten our digital giving

program ParishSoft Giving. They hoped to encourage

parishioners to use electronic giving. However, for our parish,

the many who participate in electronic giving, use their own

banks to send the church electronic checks. Effective June 1,

2019, we will no longer accept donations through the ParishSoft

Giving program. For the few of you who did use this program,

we hope you will not be inconvenienced by its cancellation and

we encourage you to look into electronic banking. There is no

cost to the church when done through your bank. If you have

any questions, please give Kim a call in the church office.

21 parishioners / families that have sent in their

gift thus far. Please remember to send in your

The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring John

Soplinski of Weirton, WV through the Knights of

Columbus RSVP (Refund Support Vocations

Program). Under this program our local council

will donate $500 to our seminarian and the

Supreme Council will refund $100 to us. In

addition to the financial support we are asked to

provide moral / spiritual support to our

seminarian.

We have decided to ask the parishioners to

participate by offering rosaries, personal Mass

intentions, Prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory

Be, etc.) or fasting (from food, TV, social media,

etc.). We also ask that cards and letters of

encouragement be sent. Seminarian John

Soplinski’s address is located at the bottom of this

message.

We will have a tally sheet in the back of the

church for parishioners to record the totals of their

spiritual acts. Then we will send the totals along

with the donation to our seminarian.

The program will continue until the end of June.

Thank you in advance for your support of this

program.
