Our Parish Mission: Christ calls our parish family to be a

beacon of hope in a rapidly changing community.

Opening The Doors Of His Mercy

It is time once again for us to participate with our brothers and sisters in the diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in our annual Catholic Sharing Appeal to fund the collective ministries we

do as the Church of West Virginia. These include:

FAITH FORMATION, YOUTH MINISTRY, CATHOLIC EDUCATION AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

Each of these is beyond the capabilities and reach of any one parish and thus is a responsibility of all Catholics in our statewide diocese. Our Annual Sharing Appeal raises funds not only to

fund these ministries but also to assist local parishes in funding their own ministry since half the fund raised are returned to the parish.

Our St. Paul Parish Goal this year is $29,025

Thus far in the Campaign our parish has reached 48% of our goal. Once we real 50% we will receive back all the funds above that amount for use in the parish for our own projects. Please

take the time to complete the mailer sent to your home and make some contribution to the Catholic Sharing Appeal. We are doing our part to help the Catholic Community of West

Virginia serve the needs of our state and do the work of Christ here.

May God bless the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston and Saint Paul Parish.

NEVER ALONE

The local support group for parents, family, friends and community interested in drug and alcohol addiction is now meeting here at St. Paul’s in our parish office conference room on Monday evenings at 6:00. This wonderful group has been providing encouragement as well as education and support to those in our area struggling with issues related especially to the abuse of substances. If you have these issues in your family or know someone who does, come on Mondays to find a welcoming group of folks, many of whom have been there and/or are there!

TABLE OF HOPE

Free Hot Meals are provided at First Methodist Church on West Street 5-6 pm Monday, Wednesday & Fridays. Everyone is welcome to come to share the meal and the fellowship.

Our next parish day to serve will be June 24. Sign up sheet is in the back of the church.

COMMUNITY BREAD B ASKET

Don’t forget to continue to bring non-perishable foods, soaps, paper products for distribution at our ecumenical food pantry. During the month of May St. Paul parishioners are asked to bring pancake mix and syrup, during June Spaghetti & sauces.

MEMORIAL DAY MASS AT SAINT PAUL CEMETERY—10 AM As has become our custom, mass will be celebrated on Memorial Day,

Monday, May 30 at 10 am at the Mausoleum at St. Paul Cemetery. We will remember in particular those who gave their lives in service to our nation as

well as all who are buried in the Cemetery. There will an opportunity for participants to individually sprinkle blessed water on the graves of loved ones

as part of the liturgy. All are welcome.

This week: The Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ

Genesis 14:18-20 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Luke 9:11b-17

Background: This Eucharistic Feast originally called for processions of the Blessed Sacrament

through the streets of the city as a means of professing our Catholic belief in

the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and our carrying his Presence

into the city in our lives. Now that the procession custom is no longer

practiced, how can we impress on our faith the reality of Christ in our lives

and the reality of carrying his presence into our daily lives? What would help

us be more mindful of that presence?

Next Week: Tenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

I Kings 17:17-24 Galatians 1:11-19 Luke 7:11-17

Adult Bible Study will be held this Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the
