 Philippines Mission Update 
Father Edwin Laude of the Diocese of San Carlos, Philippines, has sent an update on the construction of the Dormitory being constructed for Our Lady of Peace Mission School funded by our donations.  Construction of the "St. Matthew's of Gillette Dormitory" for up to 40 students is progressing well, but is in need of additional funds due to increases in material costs since his visit last June.  Anyone interested in supporting the project or wishing to view plans and photos is encouraged to contact Carleen Eisele for more information at 257-7070.

Bishop's Appeal Phone Campaign
A phone campaign for the Diocesan Bishop’s Appeal will be held beginning the week of July 7.  Parishioners throughout the Diocese that have not yet taken the opportunity to participate in this year’s Appeal will receive a phone call offering another chance for participation.  Bishop Ricken has approved of the Company and their service.  The Diocese must submit the information ten days in advance of the start date, so there is a possibility that some parishioners who made a gift may still receive a phone call.  This is merely a case of things crossing in the mail.  Please be assured that all information is kept in the strictest confidence, and is never sold nor shared.  Thank you for your participation in the Appeal.  Each gift, no matter the size, makes a tremendous difference.

Dust off the clubs!
