Youth Elect Service ready to help

Saturday, June 22nd teens and adults from across the deanery as part of the Youth Elect Service (YES) weekend retreat will be going to homes of those who are in need of help and cannot do the work themselves. There is NO cost! For home owners we can do yard work, small repairs, cleaning, painting and the like. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with poison ivy removal. We can help anyone in Richland or Crawford Counties but we can travel even farther if needed. We just need a name, address and phone number so we can get in touch with them! One of our work site committee members will call and make an appointment to see what supplies are needed and if we can do what it is they need done. If you know of anyone, if you yourself need assistance or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Email Sue Bishop institches22@hotmail.com or call 419-562-1784.

Summer Church Mini Golf League

Roselawn Miniature Golf will be hosting a mini golf league Sundays from June 9th through August 25th. Games start at 7:00 p.m. but there is flexibility in that schedule. Teams can be any size between three and six players. The league runs for 12 weeks but only the 6 best team scores will be counted, this allows you to miss weeks when you are unavailable. The cost is $3.50 per person per week. If you have a season pass to the course, the league is free. The goal of the league is to revive the Christian Community by bringing together all faiths and backgrounds. This league is to not only have fun and build relationships between the churches, but also to keep our current members active and maybe even convince some who don't attend church to participate. Though the league starts this week, you can join anytime before July 21st! If you have any questions please call or text 567-209-2613

MyParish App is here!

Most Pure Heart of Mary and St. Joseph has launched our own app for iPhone and Android smart phones. This will allow us to better communicate with you throughout the week and keep you updated with relevant parish news or updates. The app is very well designed and very intuitive. It will be a great resource for parishioners by providing daily Mass readings, Catholic news and prayers, convenient prayer and Confession reminders, our bulletins and more.

We hope for our new app to be a tool for fostering stronger parish life at Most Pure Heart of Mary and St. Joseph and better engaging the New Evangelization.

Summer Lunch Program

For 10 years, the churches of Shelby have shown the community children and their families love by serving 89,270 meals. Each church takes turns to serve the children for one week in the summer months. Some of the churches serve more than one week, depending when the need arises. Two locations are used to serve the children. One is at Shelby Helpline Ministries {back building), and the other is the south door at Shelby Church of the Nazarene. The children are given a main dish, fruit, vegetable, milk, and a dessert each day between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. at either site. They are asked to sign-in so that the churches will have an approximate count for the following day. Approximately 20 people work each week to prepare the meal, deliver to the two stations, and serve the children. Donations are needed to keep this program going each summer. You can donate to this cause by sending money to the parish office (via through the collection each week or mailed to MPHM Church) in care of Summer Lunch Program.

Encouraging words from Father Jim

Leading the Flock by Bishop Thomas

In the latest ssue of "Leading the Flock" Bishop Thomas writes: "Christ is Alive!" In these days, together as members of the Church, we celebrate the Paschal Mystery, when we once again enter more deeply into the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord! The central message of these days, indeed of our faith, is captured in the phrase: "Christ is Alive!" Read more here: Leading the Flock.
