Letter From Fr. Bob
Faith
Formation Registration 2010-2011
Faith
Formation registration forms
are available outside the Faith Formation Office and
must be returned by
August 15th so that we can ensure we have
sufficient books, supplies and catechists for all our
children.
School Supplies Needed
Remember how great it felt to start the school year with
sharp crayons, a clean notebook and a box of new pencils?
Many students in our community lack the resources to have
the materials they need for school.
The Community Life
Commission is sponsoring a school supply drive during the
month of June. Items needed are packs of loose leaf
paper, spiral notebooks, pens, pencils, colored markers,
hand sanitizer, three ring binders and new backpacks. Please
bring your donations to the area under the coat rack
opposite the (main floor) restrooms. Thank you!

Automated Giving Program
St.
Aloysius now offers two ways to contribute to the parish
electronically! There is no charge for either of these
services. You can even call the church office and stop
having the envelopes mailed to you - thereby saving the
church more money!
Prayer Book for Armed
Forces
Have you noticed the white
three-pronged notebook on a stand at the entrance of
the church? We ask you to, please,
add the names
of your
relatives and loved ones who may be serving in
our country’s Armed Forces to the pages inside.

“Laughter, the Sanity
of Family.” Dr. Ray Guarendi is a father, clinical
psychologist, author, public speaker and radio host.
Dynamic, innovative, unforgettable and humorous, he reaches
people personally and helps adults get a better handle on
the critical role of a parent as a teacher of children.

Bus Information:
The Diocese of
Charlotte
has arranged for several yellow school busses to be
available for transporting parishioners to the
Eucharist Congress on Saturday, September 11, 2010. These
are less expensive than a charter bus.
Sign-ups, for the bus(es) St. Aloysius have secured, will be after
weekend Masses on August 7/8 and 14/15. Be sure to
reserve your seat! Questions? Call Kevin Dieter at 464-5009.
