Pope Francis’ Prayer Intentions for June
Universal: That the aged, marginalized, and those who have no one may find–even within the
huge cities of the world–opportunities for encounter and solidarity.
Evangelization: That seminarians and men and women entering religious life may have
mentors who live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely for their mission.

Thank you Piney Grove Middle School Students!!
For the past few years, the Piney Grove
Middle School has sent students to St.
Brendan’s for their community service
day. This year we were blessed with a
class that cleaned (swept and mopped
the floors, dusted, cleaned the refrigerator, vacuumed, cleaned windows, organized cabinets and much more) the
Faith Formation Center and organized/
cleaned a storage room.
In addition, our Food Pantry also
had a class of students that
bagged 1000 pounds of rice into
baggies and another group
stayed at the school and divided
sugar, which they delivered to
the Food Pantry!
We are very blessed to have the
support of Piney Grove Middle
School!!
Thank you Tons!!
