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.
BAPTISMS
Congratulations to the family of Grace Agnes Babjak, who is baptized into God’s family this weekend.

- Eighth Annual “Ed Capristo” Joint Parish Memorial Golf Outing: Plans are underway for our 8th annual golf outing. This week we have sent our invitations to businesses, golfers and friends of our parishes, as well as the golf outing raffle tickets to all of our parishioners.

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.
