Food Drive for Sebree Food Bank CONTINUES!: Please continue to be generous! So far we have turned in 240 food items and $30 in donations. Let’s keep it going! During the entire month of July there will be a container at St. Michael’s to collect canned goods for the Sebree Food Bank which has lost some much needed funds recently. Monetary donations are also welcome and can be sent to “Sebree Food Bank” P.O. Box 823, Sebree, KY 42455.
Vacation Bible School at St. Michael’s: We will have a two day VBS this year on Mon., July 25th & Tues, July 26th from 5-8pm. Lots of helpers are needed for prep work, supervision & helping lead activities. If you are able to help please let Patti know! All kids 4yo to 6th grade are welcome to participate! Older youth are welcome as helpers.
Knights of Columbus Installing Officers immediately following the 10:30am Mass on Sunday, July 24th followed by coffee & donuts in the parish hall. ALL are welcome!
Speaker coming to St. Michael’s DATE CHANGE: After the morning masses on Sunday, July 31st we will have speakers from the Diocese come give a short presentation about applying the insights of Pope Francis and the Diocese to our Parish Mission. Please come join us as we consider God’s will for our parish family! The date has been changed so as to not conflict with the Knights installation of officers.
Going on Vacation or Down to the Lake? Don’t forget to continue your support of St. Michael’s while you’re gone! The parish counts on everyone’s ongoing support to continue to cover expenses through the Summer. You can either mail in your offering or give online giving a try! It’s easy to set up a quick, one-time gift or a reoccurring gift. See www.smsebree.org/online-giving/ for info.

Thinking about Separation or Divorce? – Is your marriage or that of a relative or friend heading for divorce? Do you know how to save that marriage? Or do you feel helpless? Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) is designed to help troubled marriages regain their health. It helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love, trust and commitment that originally brought them together.
