Faith Sharing Group Meeting
The Faith Sharing Group will be meeting every other Wednesday. The next meeting will be July 28, at 7:00 p.m., in the Library. We will explore methods to slow down and find God in places we never thought to look. We will alternate discussion of Richard Rohr’s “The Naked Now” with viewing and discussing DVDs on spiritual topics. For more information contact Betty Ann Marsland at (860)870-4396 or email at bamarsland@sbcglobal.net.

Visitation Help Needed
The Visitation Ministry needs a few people to bring communion to residents of Mansfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. If you can spare some time to help, please contact Peter Salesses at 860-429-8111.

Projectionists Needed
The projection ministry at the 10:15 a.m. Mass is currently looking for additional projectionists. Anyone in middle school or older is welcome. No experience necessary. It’s easy. The schedule is flexible. Start during summer or in the fall. Confirmation candidates, this would count toward your service hours. Contact Eric Morton: myteric@gmail.com, 860-429-6056, or see him after Mass setup/takedown.

EFT Makes a Difference
Electron Funds Transfer (EFT) is a method used to move funds from one account to another automatically. This option is now available to parishioners for your monthly or weekly donations. Some of you may already be paying your monthly bills using this method. If you are interested in making your contributions directly from your savings or checking account without having to write a check or using cash, please contact Joanne at St. Thomas (860-429-6436, Extension 203).

St. Thomas Haiti Committee News
In addition to our sponsorship program for Ecole Agape in Lilavois, Haiti, which serves close to one hundred children, our committee has made other donations with monies from our fundraisers. We are now in the sixth year of a Tierney-Tobin School sponsorship through the Diocese and we continue to support a family in Jeramie as well as contribute to a clinic in the south of Haiti. Last week we delivered to New York over 200 toothbrushes, tooth pastes, soaps, washcloths, as well as shoes and clothing to be shipped to the poor in Livavois. Please be sure to support our next fundraiser in October so we can continue this work.

An Opportunity To Give
Thank you for your donations to Banque Agape, our small wooden banks in chapel and center. Your continuing gifts of coins and bills in any amount small or large are especially appreciated in these summer weeks when so many are away on vacation. All funds collected go toward the support of Ecole Agape, our school in Lilavois, Haiti, and other projects that help Haitians to help Haitians.

Gluten Free Hosts
It has come our attention that there is a need for gluten-free hosts. We will have a supply of them available at Communion time in a separate pyx. If you are one of these people, please see the celebrating priest before the Mass and be in his line to receive Our Lord. Peace, Fr. John.
