A big, huge THANK YOU goes out to all who helped or attended the chicken dinner this past Sunday. Kudos to all our bakers who provided sweet treats as well (the most ever BTW!) The food was fantastic as always and it was nice to be able to gather and enjoy a meal together. Just 3 short months to our next one, so get ready!

The Columbus Home Association (KC Hall) will be hosting the Steel City Music Fest today, Friday, June 18. Proceeds will benefit Holy Family and St. Elizabeth schools and parishes.

Our parish sent home “gift” copies of The Search to school families as a summer activity. You can sign up to experience it too. Invite a friend and contact the Parish Office to sign up! It’s as easy as picking up a booklet and watching the videos on FORMED, or joining with or pulling together a small group to go through The Search together.  Watch it yourself, as a couple, as a family, and/or invite friends over to watch it with you.

On the occasion of our 150th Anniversary, St. Elizabeth is doing a new pictorial directory! We want everyone to get a new picture made so that our directory will be complete. IT WON’T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOU! You can make your appointment online or we will help you do it after Mass. Photo dates will be August 10-14, 27 and 28. Stay tuned for the link and live sign-up dates in the next bulletin!

Next Saturday at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Springfield, Bishop Paprocki will ordain our very own Deacon Candidate Michael Halbrook at 10 a.m. In addition to this being livestreamed through dio.org/live, the cathedral is now open to full capacity! You are welcome to attend the ordination in person. Michael will assist at his first Mass as Deacon on Saturday at 4:30pm here at St. Elizabeth and there will be a reception on Sunday, June 27 at 1:30 p.m. at Columbus Home. In lieu of gifts, please consider donations to the parish's Mission & Ministry Fund, or to the Parish Community Tithe - the generosity of the faithful of the diocese through ACSA and other diocesan giving has provided for the 6 years of Michael's formation.

Join us for a new retreat experience exploring the richness of the Eucharist and the Mass. The retreat will be held at Villa Maria Retreat Center on Lake Springfield, August 6-8. For more information, contact Michael Halbrook: mhalbrook@stelizabethgc.org or 618-877-3300 x1005.
