BAKER'S BITS - 6.30.19 - East River Catholics

June 25, 2019

1. This week we celebrate July 4th, Independence Day, our American national holiday. This holiday gives us time to thank God for the birth of our nation, give thanks for gift of life and petition God to preserve our country. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us pray that God will strengthen and bless America and make our nation a haven of liberty and justice for all. We pray that our country will always accept those who seek political, religious or economic liberty and wish to come here as did our ancestors, or we ourselves. The 4th of July is a great day for picnics and spending time with family and friends. Stay safe and have a wonderful day!

2. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the long-awaited and delayed Air Conditioning Project will be complete by this weekend. Therefore, the Slovak-American Parish BBQ planned for Sunday, June 30 is CANCELLED. It is predicted to be hot and muggy!

3. Please make every effort to make a contribution to this year’s Cardinal’s Appeal! Thank you very much to all who already contributed! It does not matter how big your gift is but that you participate! 76 people have given. Our goal is 125.
