help, the sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board

across from the upstairs restrooms. THANK YOU!

== The “Z” Gram == --- Notes From Father Bill --

Recently we have had many activities in the parish and after the activities there were receptions. Many organizations came forward and provided refreshments during the reception. Our bishop has spoken a great deal about hospitality and our parishes have really exhibited that quality many, many times. The next big event that the parishes will be involved in is called “Duc in Altum”, which is a Latin expression for “Go out into the Deep”. In other words, to take a risk. The week of fun and fellowship for people in grades 1-12 will start on June 7 and end June 11. High school students will gather Sunday thru Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 pm and grades 1-8 are to gather Monday thru Thursday from 9 am to 2:30 pm and are asked to bring a sack lunch each day. We are always looking for volunteers to help out in many ways. There will be a potluck dinner on Wednesday evening, June 10 at 6 pm. Sign up sheets are available on the youth bulletin board across from the upstairs restrooms. Speaking of restrooms, we have installed automatic door openers for both restrooms located upstairs.

A WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

At a party of professionals, a Doctor was having difficulty socializing. Everyone wanted to describe their symptoms, and get an opinion about diagnosis. The Doctor turned to a Lawyer acquaintance, and asked, "How do you handle people who want advice outside of the office?" "Simple," answered the Lawyer, "I send them a bill. That stops it." The next day, the Doctor, still feeling a bit reserved about what he had just finished doing, opened his mailbox to send the bills; there sat a bill from the Lawyer.

It takes the whole of life to learn how to live.

St. Paul reminds us today that All of our gifts have their souce

in the Holy Spirit and that those gifts are given “for the

common good.” What gifts are mine to share?

ANOTHER WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

A customer sent an order to a distributor for a large amount of goods totaling a great deal of money. The distributor noticed that the previous bill hadn’t been paid, so he asked his collections manager to leave a voice-mail for them saying, “We can’t ship your new order until you pay for the last one.” The next day the collections manager received a collect phone call, “Please cancel the order. We can’t wait that long.”

And ONE MORE FUNNY…from Father Bill

A tourist in Vienna goes through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: "Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827." Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony, and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward. Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th. By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music. "Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously. "He's decomposing."
