Hello everyone! Not much to say today so here are some more photos from my Alaska trip! 😊
ICC parish festival
Do you feel the excitement? The festival is almost here! August 8th from 12-7pm. We still need volunteers for the food. Please sign-up on the green poster in the back of the church. If you did not get your raffle tickets, they are in an envelope in the back of the church. See more details in the bulletin. The last festival committee meeting will be on Monday, July 19th at 6:30pm in the St. Anthony Center. It is an open meeting.
OLL parish picnic
The big return! OLL’s parish picnic is back on August 15th from noon until whenever! It will take place at Ada’s War Memorial Park, shelter 7. We will provide the brats, hotdogs, and drinks. You provide the salad, a side, or dessert. Volunteers needed for set-up, tear-down, and everything in between. Please email the office at office@lourdesada.org or speak to Lisa Ferguson to volunteer.
OLL Sunday coffee and rolls
The next Sunday social hour with coffee and desserts is July 25th after the 11am Mass at OLL. This is an opportunity for parishioners to socialize and get to know each other better. Please sign up on the sheet in the back of the church to help.
Ohio Budget Bill Update. The Catholic Conference of Ohio commends the Governor and the Ohio General Assembly for the bipartisan supported budget bill (HB 110) signed into law on June 30. For a listing of provisions related to health, human services, and schools, visit www.ohiocathconf.org.
Stop Taxpayer Funded Abortion. It is critically important for Catholics to send a strong message to Congress right now as it moves to impose taxpayer-funded abortion. The Hyde Amendment has protected Americans from funding abortion for 45 years. It’s credited with saving the lives of over 2.4 million children to date. Powerful members of Congress want to take away this law that both Democrats and Republicans have supported for nearly half a century. Without it, billions of taxpayer dollars could go to abortion. Catholics are urged to sign a USCCB’s petition at www.notaxpayerabortion.com. Also, go to https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/Campaigns/86795/Respond
