Family Perspectives
By Bud Ozar
Jesus appointed apostles, he also
appoints parents to represent Him in
the family; “make disciples of your
children, baptizing and teaching
them all I have taught you. Don’t
worry, I am with you always.
Marriage Moments
www.Susan Vogt.net
Does your marriage sometimes feel
like the Tower of Babel—each of you
speaking but not understanding
each other? Gary Chapman
identified 5 Love Languages that
couples often use: words of
affirmation, acts of service, giving
gifts, quality time, and physical
touch. Which is your strongest?
Parenting Pointers
www.Susan Vogt.net
“I am with you always, until the end
of the age.” (Mt. 28:20) Children will
be children which means they will
make mistakes, disobey, be selfish…
(actually so do we adults). Today
reassure your child that you will
always love them, no matter what.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE 2020 CENSUS. IT IS VITAL TO THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR NATION!!!
The Census can shape many different aspects of our community. It helps determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and com-munities each year—including money for our non-profits, emergency services, food assistance, health care, etc. Results of the census also determine how many supervisors the City is allotted at the county level, as well as how many seats in Con-gress each state gets. It is important that EVERYONE is counted, including migrant workers, the homeless and infants.
You can respond to the 2020 Census by mail, over the phone, and for the first time—online!
Simply:
Complete and return the hard copy questionnaire via US Postal mail; OR
Call 1-844-330-2020 (1-844-468-2020 para espanol) to give your response to the US Census Bureau by phone; OR visit my2020census.gov.
You do not need your invitation or code to complete the questionnaire online; just click “I do not have my census code”.
Here’s a good video that explains how to answer online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCM0XrSynFw&

Let’s make sure our voices are heard and counted! Deacon Ed Solomon
The Ascension of the Lord
At the end of His earthly life Jesus
ascends triumphantly into heaven. The
Church acclaims Him in His
holy humanity, invited to sit on the
Father's right hand and to share His
glory. But Christ's Ascension is the
pledge of our own.
Filled with an immense hope, the Church looks up
towards her leader, who precedes her into the heavenly
home and takes her with Him in His own person: "for the Son of God, after incorporating in Himself those whom the devil's jealousy had banished from the earthly paradise, ascends again to His Father and takes them with Him" (St. Leo)
We are to get busy building God’ kingdom. His kingdom will not happen automatically.
Thank you for your continued support of the food collection for those less fortunate.
Please leave non-perishable foods (No glass containers, please) on the back porch of the rectory Monday-Friday from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.
Lawnmowers and Gardeners Needed
There is a need for volunteer lawnmowers. If you have one or two weeks late in the spring or this sum-mer that you might be able to sign up
and mow here at Church, it would be most appreci-ated. There is a lawn mower here for your use. We are also looking for gardeners. There are sign-up sheets available on the table in the back porch at the rectory, Monday thru Friday from 9 til 3, if you are able to help out with either of these tasks.
Thank you!
We remember the many brave men and women
who have given their lives through the history of
our country to protect us from danger and harm.
We salute all those who served in the military, the
police and the fire departments. We also remember all those
who sustained injury in mind and/or body in the course of their
service.
Let us pause and remember that God’s Spirit fills the
whole world, from the east to the west, from the desert to the
mountains. Blessed are You, O God, for You have given us a
share in Your life and You dwell in us and in our midst. In the
name of God our Father and Creator, and Jesus our
Brother and Savior, and the Holy Spirit Giver of Life
and Grace.

GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR OTHERS
