A SPECIAL INVITATION!

St. Julie Billiart Parish would like to extend a special invitation for all grandparents and their grandchildren to attend Mass together on the weekend of July 24/25.   In addition, we want to honor the voice of our wise, elderly parishioners, who are also invited to come to Mass that weekend with a young family member or neighbor.   It doesn’t matter which of you invites the other to attend – please come! We will offer a special blessing as well as a prayer card for you!

Open to Grades 3 — 8

Are you interested in becoming an Altar Server? Servers have an important role in the Mass, assisting the priest in the celebration of the Eucharist, which is the cornerstone of our faith.  Please discuss it first with your parents, since this ministry is a commitment.

If you are presently an Altar Server, have been a Server in the past, or are interested in becoming one, you are invited to attend one of the following training sessions:

Saturday, July 24 — 1:00 pm
    OR
Sunday July 25 — 12:30pm

• Training sessions will take place in church.
• We request that a parent accompany you.
• We hope to see you at the training!

If you’re between the ages of 18 and 39, the St. Julie Young Adult Group may be for you!  Plan to come to the next meeting to see what it’s all about.

Topic this Month:  Why the devil wants you to fail
Time:  7:00pm
Where:  St. Julie Parish Hall

The Men’s Group offers a way to spend some quality time with other men of our parish.  Meetings are held on the last Thursday evening of each month and typically include snacks, drinks, social time, and a speaker. Topics and activities will vary.  The mission of the group is “Cultivating men of all ages to be committed disciples of Jesus Christ and better husbands, fathers, and men in our community.”  The group is open to men who are 21 or older.

One of our parishioners has found it in his heart to minister at truck stops along his route. He said that there’s such a need to bring the love of God out into the world to men and women on the road. They spend so much time on the road and are searching for that solid faith foundation.

If you have any religious items (books, bibles, pamphlets, rosaries, prayer cards, necklaces, medals, etc.) that you’d like to donate to this very worthy ministry, please drop them off at the St. Julie Parish office (west entrance) and label it “Truck Stop Ministry.”

Thank you!
