CCD NEWS……
This is an invitation for the 5th, 6th, and 7th grade CCD students to visit St. Benedict's Catholic College
and Mount Scholastica Convent in Atchison Kansas. This activity is scheduled for Wednesday, July 25.
Those who wish to attend will meet at church at 7:30 am and return to Olpe between 5:00 and 5:30
pm. The lunch meal will be paid for by the parish. There will be a permission slip in the back of church
for parents to fill out, sign, and return the day of the activity. I must have a signed permission slip
before the students can go. Please take time to add your child's name to the sign up sheet in the back of
church. We need this information to arrange for drivers for this outing. We took a group, three years ago
this summer, and they really enjoyed their day. If you have any questions or would like to drive to
Atchison, please call Rose at 794-6353.
CCD will begin in less than two months and we are in need of teachers!! If you could spare just a
few hours each week to assist in the catholic education of our youth, we would certainly appreciate your
generosity and commitment to our parish! Please call CCD Director—Rose Redeker as soon as possible.
THANKS!

OUTREACH MINISTRY
Outreach Ministry has been formed at St. Joseph to assist sick, elderly, disabled, or homebound parishioners or
their families who are in need of visits, calls, cards, meals, or transportation. If you or a family member are in
need of one of these services, please contact ARLENE REDEKER at 475-3414. If you are able to provide one of
these services (visit, send cards, make calls, provide a meal or ride), also call Arlene. We would also like to send
birthday cards to parishioners and community members who are 80 or over, widowed, in a nursing facility, or
homebound. If you know of someone that might enjoy a card, please call KAREN HAYES at 475-3327 and give
her their name, birthday, and address. THANKS for your help in getting our ministry started!
The average U.S. Citizen throws away 70 pounds of textiles every year. Instead of throwing away a used pair of
shoes, please donate it to our parish’s Soles4Souls collection. Any sizes or styles of new or gently used shoes
are needed. We are collecting them in the tub in the back of church. Thanks for your help. If you would like to
learn more about Soles4Souls, they have a lot of information and many videos on their website, soles4souls.org.
Please keep our seminarians in the Archdiocese in your daily prayers. These
seminarians are fulfilling summer assignments in different parishes and areas in the
Archdiocese.

O God, you have made us the church of your dear Son.
Make our parish a family of one heart and mind in love towards you.
Grant that our common life and work may be an example to all about us.
Guide our Pastor and his assistants in their work.
Acknowledge the intercessions of St. Joseph, our patron;
and keep us secure in your love. Amen
