AID TO OUR MILITARY: Your generosity in donations has enabled us to continue sending care packages to our men and women of the military. They do appreciate your support. Our Knights of Columbus continues to mail these packages. As long as we receive your and the Knights of Columbus support, our military will continue to receive these care packages. Again, thank you. As always your prayers are requested for our military and their safe return. – John Glinka

QUILTS OF VALOR – will be on display in church the weekend of July 2-3 in honor of Independence Day.

In Nov. 2003, Catherine Roberts of Seaford, Delaware began Quilts of Valor.  Her son was being deployed to Iraq and, being a quilter of many years, it occurred to her this was a way to provide comfort, love and healing prayers plus pay a tribute to the combat wounded.    Since that time, over 28,300 quilts have been presented to comfort our wounded heroes. Quilts of Valor will be needed for quite some time -- as long as we are at war and until all of our wounded have one.

Our reasons for involvement are: our love of our country – coming from a patriotic generation it is an honor to do what we do – our husbands have served in all of the services, as well as several of us ladies have served also – it is our small way to thank those who have given so much.

Our small group, “The Beachlovin' Grannies of the Carolinas” are nearing the 400^th quilt delivered into the hands of a wounded warrior. There are several ways to get involved:

Donate patriotic fabric; from 1 yard to many yards -- all will be used.  Make a quilt top. And pray for the end of war and the end of the need for Quilts of Valor. Call Helen Faulstich 843-235-2713 for more information.   Thank you.

PBOC Gift Shop is open on Wednesdays from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, and for a half-hour after all weekend Masses.

“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks Peter in today’s Gospel. Does my use of the gifts and talents entrusted to me acurately reflect my answer to that same question? How willing am I to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow in His steps?

(See Luke 9:20)

Come join us for an hour of quiet devotion from 3:00 – 4:00 PM in the church; we chant the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3 o’clock. A meal together afterwards and lively conversation is always a pleasant experience! Let’s keep in touch: Betty can be reached at 237-9298, and Mabel at 235-0080. Enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer, you all.
