BANK MONTH July is a traditionally
low point at the Kelowna Food Bank when it comes to food donations.
St. Pius X Parish is planning to help.
In addition to donating $2,000 for perishable items such as milk and
eggs, we also hope to collect non-perishable items each Sunday as you come to
Mass. All July is Food Bank
month, please bring your contributions to Church or you can drop them off at
the Kelowna Community Food Bank at 1265 Ellis Street.
Financial donations are also welcome between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm at the
Food Bank. Due to their non-profit status, they can buy three times more
food for a dollar than we can. MONTHLY

FOR THE ALTAR Now
that spring has sprung and gardens are starting to yield, donations of flowers
from your gardens would be greatly appreciated. Just leave them in the buckets inside the Fuller St. entrance
and they will be added to the arrangements that grace the sanctuary on the
weekends. Even bring the cuttings
left when you trim deciduous hedges as they would be very useful as greenery
in arrangements. EXTRA

save your grocery receipts & drop off at the front of the church in the marked
boxes or jars, or they may be left at the Pro Life Thrift Shop. These
can be redeemed for food vouchers & assist the work of St. Vincent de Paul

help. HOLY

KIDSPEAK
The
Police A policeman was taking a
vandalism report at an elementary school when he was interrupted by a six year
old girl. She looked up and down at his uniform and asked, "Are you a
policeman?" "Yes, I am," he
said. "My mother told me
that if I ever needed help I should ask a policeman. Is that right," the
girl asked. "Yes it is,"
said the policeman. The girl extended her foot
to the policeman and said, "OK, then, would you tie my shoe?" PRO LIFE 101
