1. Our two-bit collection today is for our parish St. Vincent de Paul. Your donations will help the need in our neighborhoods.

2. Thank you for your response to the Annual Catholic Appeal. As of Wednesday, 411 members of Holy Family Parish have made a pledge. We need 49 more pledges to reach our goal of 460. If you have not yet filled out an envelope, you may take one from the pew and fill it out this week. If we receive your pledge early this week, it will be included in the list for next weekend’s bulletin. We will not publish pledge amounts, but the names of donors so that we can be sure all pledges are accounted for. Thank you for your support of the Annual Catholic Appeal.

3. Next Saturday, at St. Mary’s Parish, Seattle, Archbishop Brunett will offer a “Mass for Immigrants.” You will find more information on the bulletin boards. In the press release Archbishop Brunett commented on the announced compromise between the Congress and President regarding immigration laws. Archbishop Brunett said: “We support the enforcement of our laws, but while we do not support illegal immigration, the Archdiocese of Seattle has a long-standing tradition of outreach to immigrants and refugees. It is integral to our faith and teaching that we provide food, shelter and material assistance to those in need.”

4. Next Sunday is Pentecost – the Feast of the Holy Spirit. We invite you to wear red in honor of the Holy Spirit.

5. Today’s bulletin contains information on the Schola Cantorum-Choir Camp for children ages 6 to 16. Also it has an insert regarding Catholic Cemeteries and much more information about our parish and school. Please take home a bulletin and read it carefully.
