Happy Feast Day
Saint Olivia of Palermo
9th C.
Feast Day: June 10
Patronage: Music, Trivigliano, Italy
Saint Olivia (or Olive, for the olive branch, a symbol of peace, fruitfulness, dignity, and beauty) was a beautiful young girl kidnapped by the Muslims, brought to Tunisia, yet allowed to live in a cave as a hermit. When she was found to have cured and converted many Muslims, they tortured and imprisoned her. After converting her executioner she was burned and beheaded. It’s said her soul was seen flying to heaven as the form of a dove. St. Olivia is held in esteem by Christians and Muslims today.

Deacon Jose was unable to be with us but the rest of the staff enjoyed a retreat at Our Lady of Consolation. It was a much-needed day for reflection, prayer, and bonding.
And then we got a little goofy...
Families- can you and your youth assist? We'd love to have older youth helping deliver food to the cars. This fundraiser is going to benefit some specific programs scheduled for the parish youth!
Contact Olga or Andrea to help out!!
The secret to getting through life's most difficult trials is prayer!

In addition to the weekend Mass times changing in July, the Wednesday, 6 pm Mass will be moving from St. Stephen to St. Thomas beginning in July. Please take note!
RCIA continued tonight. Dawn was unable to join us last week so she received her Bible and Catechism tonight. Sponsors Kelly, Haley, and Deacon Leon were also present tonight. Olga and Andrea help Kathy as members of the RCIA Core Team. It's so nice seeing our parish life in full swing again.
Congratulations
Olivia had a great time at her big brother's sacrament prep class. She made herself at home at church, just as we all should!
And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.”Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.
Mark 10:13-16
