MISSING ENVELOPES??  Due to a mechanical failure, the company who provides our envelopes will not be sending out envelopes for July.  We have sets of envelopes in the office if you'd like to come by and get one. If you know your envelope number, you can put it in the “memo” section on your check.  We're sorry about any inconvenience this may cause but rest assured that if you write a check, it will be credited to your account.

 

 

IT'S REGISTRATION TIME FOR CCD! The 2026-2027 classes for our religious education and sacramental preparation programs are forming now! Please see the information provided by our Director of Religious Education regarding the opportunities for registration in July. Registration for classes MUST be done during July and cannot continue into August and September. August is already the time to order books and apportion classes and classrooms, and September is class time, devoted to teaching. July is the month for registration. Your cooperation helps our program deliver the best educational and spiritual opportunities to our children! REGISTRATION MATERIALS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE VESTIBULES OF BOTH CHURCHES. Don't put it off!

 

 

 

THANK YOU TO ALL who came out and prayed for our nation as we celebrated her 250th year with prayer, ice cream, and fellowship. It was a great collaboration between the Parish and Family Life committee, the Wednesday Rosary/Prayer Group, and the Knights of Columbus who provided the patriotic flag procession in the beautiful Rosary Garden.

A special thanks to BYOC (Build Your Own Cookie) on Maddox Blvd. in Chincoteague and at Frontier Town in West Ocean City. They donated the ice cream for our event, so please thank them with your patronage when you are out in Chincoteague or West OC and are looking for a homemade cookie/ice cream treat!

 

 

 

WORKS OF MERCY BABY SHOWER: Thank you everyone who participated in the baby shower for the Seton Center.  We were able to provide much needed baby items for multiple moms and babies.  They truly appreciate it.  By doing so, we carried out Corporal Works of Mercy by feeding and clothing children of God.  

 

 

 

FROM THE KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS

 

The Knights will begin selling tickets after Masses for the 57th Annual Cash Incentive Sweepstake Benefiting Charitable and Knights of Columbus Scholarship Programs.  The cost is $5 per ticket. 

 

A special thank you for your Support of two recent fundraisers benefiting 2 local organizations: Our recent Baby Bottle fundraiser for the Eastern Shore Pregnancy Center in Salisbury, resulted in total contributions of $5,595 to support Life. 

 

Our first Car Wash held at St. Elizabeth Church raised $400 benefiting the Bethany Homeless Shelter in Princess Anne run by the Seton Center. May God bless your generosity bless those benefitting at all stages of Life. 

 

 

FAITH & CHARITY APPEAL UPDATE - Since out last update, at least six households have donated to the Appeal, bringing us up to 34 donating households and 184 households not participating. We are grateful to these generous donors, and remind everyone else that the future welfare and local charitable initiatives of the parish lie in your hands. Remember - every donor matters. If you have never participated in the Faith and Charity Catholic Appeal, or if it has been five years or more since your last gift, please consider participating this year. Once our parish reaches its goal, 50% of these gifts will be returned to support parish needs, in addition to the standard rebate we receive when we go over goal. Thank you for your support and partnership in strengthening our parishes and the ministries of the Diocese.

 

 

CATHOLIC INFORMATION SOCIETY BOOKLETS - available in the church vestibule - very readable - concise - get to know your Faith better! Suggested $2.00 donation each. Thank you to Doug Voss for making this happen.
