The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ

according to Saint John 14:15-20

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another

Advocate, to be with you for ever.

This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot

receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You

know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in

you.

I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you.

In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you

will see me; because I live, you also will live.

On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and

you in me, and I in you”.

2021 Graduates Last year we published pictures of our 2020 graduates in the bulletin to help honor the milestones in our children’s lives, because we were not able to congratulate them in person due to covid-19.

We found that parishioners really liked the publication of graduates’ pictures, therefore we will be doing it again this year in the June 27th bulletin.

Please help us to celebrate your child’s achievement by sending us their full name and the name of the institution they are graduating from. Also, you may submit a jpg photo of the graduate. This includes college graduates as well!

We will only publish names with your or your child’s permission. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you do not want your name published.

Deadline for submission will be Monday, June 21st.
