RE Registrations
June 1 is almost here. If you want to register at the
discounted fee, get those forms in to the office today,
postmarked before June 1. FYI - if you have a preschool or
kindergarten child you would like to see in the program next
fall, get your registration in today. The 3:15 Kindergarten
session is already at capacity. However, there is space at the
5:15 Kindergarten session. These classes always fill up quickly
and enrollment is limited at those grade levels.
Catechists Needed
Before school is out for the summer break, please consider
helping us as a catechist next fall. We thank those who have
responded to our plea. However, we are still in need of
catechists at various grade levels at various session times.
If you are a loving, welcoming, accepting, forgiving person
of faith, you have the most important qualifications for being a
catechist. You don't have to be a theologian, just someone who
can help our children understand how the Gospel can be applied to
their lives. Come share your Faith with the over 500 young
people of our RE program. Call for more info.
If you have any questions or need more information, please call
Mary Ann Woods at the REO, 832-8962.
Prayer Requests
To pray for our sick is an important privilege of our parish
family. We hope that you will pray for these persons every day.

Letter of Appreciation
to Molly Lindberg, Choir Director
I wish to express my appreciation to you and the Mary Queen
of Heaven Parish choir for singing our recent Diaconate Community
convocation. The music was inspiring and surely helped all who
were in attendance to worship at the Eucharistic Liturgy with
greater fervor and devotion.
May the Lord continue to bless you and the choir s you
continue to "sing joyful songs unto the Lord."
Deacon Joe Dalpiaz, Director,
Office of the Diaconate, Diocese of Joliet.
