Announecements & Upcoming Events

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Father's Day is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad. It is a day to not only honor your father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in your life - whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or "Big Brothers."

Mrs. John Dodd of Washington first proposed the idea of a Father’s Day in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran was widowed when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

The first Father’s Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure.

WATCH OUR GARDEN GROW

Have you seen the garden?? It is magnificent . Thank you to the following gardeners: Ann McIntee, Jean Brown, Ann Stukel, Cristi Debrauwere, Jeff, Mark Caruso, Jim Sheehy, The Pashua Family, Virginia Mann, Pat Cafferti, Bill & Pat Eder, Bob & Louise Weyer,The Fallia Family,The Girl Scout Troop, Tom & Ed Hussar, Patirce Tuohy & Hannah Vilic, William and Patrick McIntee for their hard work over the last couple of weeks. It has sure paid off!

Anne McIntee stated last week that she has space envy after we cleared away 30 years of brush from the garden. And it is true that we have a lot of space to plant. This week so many people have come with clipping from their gardens to fill ours that this is truly becoming a St. Matthias Community Garden. We still have space for more so if you have some extra plants or clipping that you would like to contribute please bring them by. This weekend we will be working on the trees around the parkway if you have a couple of hours to give we could sure use your help.

CELEBRATION FOR FR. TERRY…

Calling all bakers; over the last ten years it has become apparent that St. Matthias has excellent chefs, cooks and bakers. We are asking the bakers of the church to help out with the 2 day celebration for Fr. Terry on June 27 28 by baking cookies, cakes and desserts for the event. Please call the Rectory at 506-2191 and let us know if you can help out
