We are alive with the Holy Spirit and on fire to proclaim the Lord as the core and strength of our life.
MEMORIAL DAY MASS AT ST. HEDWIG CEMETERY
Monday, May 28 is Memorial Day. It is our tradition to celebrate Mass at one of our 3 cemeteries on a rotating basis. This year we are scheduled at St. Hedwig Cemetery. It is located on Grant Ave. Ext. in West Mifflin. Mass will begin at 10:00 am. If it is raining, we will have Mass in St. Hedwig Church beginning at 10:30 am. You are invited to bring a chair to sit upon if you need to.
RECRUITING ALTAR SERVERS
We are in the process of recruiting altar servers to serve at our weekend Masses. Any boy or girl, 5th grade and older is invited to participate in this special ministry to serve at the altar. We will be recruiting during the summer and begin training when school starts, so that you will be ready for the Fall scheduling time frame. I hope parents encourage their children to participate. If interested, give Fr. Dennis a call.
WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
We welcome Stacy Grebur and her son, Tyler, Elvera Lauris, and Jack and Sandra McKeever and children, Sara & Daniel who have joined our parish this week.

A flyer highlighting all the ways you can volunteer or participate is found on the flyers around the churches. Golfers should make sure you get your 4somes registered because there is only room for 120 golfers and we always sell out.

The raffle is an “All Cash Raffle.” The winning number gets $1,000.00. The number one above gets $250.00 and the number one below gets $250.00. The winning number will be based on the 4 digit nightly number on the PA Lottery for June 18, 2012. BONUS PRIZE - $10,000.00. If one of the 3 winning tickets hits on the 4 digit nightly drawing of the PA Lottery on July 4, 2012, we will give a $10,000.00 cash prize.
Extra Tickets: If you need more tickets after you receive yours, stop by Holy Name or St. Joseph rectory and we will give you as many as you need OR mail us your donation for extra tickets and we will send the extra tickets that you requested to you.
