The World Day of Prayer for the
Sanctification of Priests
“The order of priesthood, you will share in the mission of
Christ, the only teacher. This is the nourishment of the People
of God, that your homilies are not boring: that your own
homilies arrive directly in people’s hearts, because they flow
from your heart, because what you tell them is what you have
in your heart. Examples edify, but words without examples
are empty words, they are just ideas that never reach the
heart. Always have before you the example of the Good
Shepherd, who came not to be served, but to serve, not to
remain comfortable, but to go out and seek and to save what
was lost.” - POPE FRANCIS
The World Day of Prayer for the
Sanctification of Priests takes
place every year on the Solemnity
of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The next Solemnity is on Friday,

ANGEL SCHOLARSHIP FUND NEWS:
Ohio Scholarship Tax-Credit Program Lets Families “Turn Taxes into Tuition”
by directing Your Tax Dollars to our Catholic School Students
Through the Angel Scholarship Fund, you can now contribute funds that will be used to provide tuition assistance for students
to attend our Catholic schools, for which you may receive a 100% Ohio income tax credit of up to $750 ($1,500 if married
filing jointly) against your 2022 state tax liability. In other words, the state of Ohio allows you to "spend" some of the state
income taxes you must pay anyway to provide tuition assistance for students seeking an education in our Catholic
schools. The Angel Scholarship Fund is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our Catholic schools.
Even more good news - this program does not affect any student’s ability to receive other scholarships or tuition assistance. It’s
important to keep in mind that contributions to the Angel Scholarship Fund that are designated for our students will only be
awarded to those who apply, with low-income students as the priority. For additional information, please contact Beth Saxon
at BSaxon@StASchool.us. Or, you can make your donation online at www.catholiccommunity.org/angel. PLEASE BE SURE TO
INDICATE YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR DONATION TO SUPPORT SAINT AMBROSE SCHOOL STUDENTS! That will route your donation
to be used to provide financial assistance to students in need, who qualify, at Saint Ambrose School!

Plum Creek Assisted Living
Mulching Party
WOW- what a fantastic day we had! We
couldn’t have asked for a better, more
beautiful day for working outside! On June
11, more than twenty volunteers joined
us at Plum Creek to lay mulch down. To
our Community Outreach Team, we just
wanted to send a HUGE THANK YOU for
all of your hard work and your leadership
on this service day. And, to ALL of our
members who joined us, thank you for
being the hands and feet of Christ on this beautiful summer day.
PB&J Brigade
Every week, we distribute 2,800 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to those in need and we are so grateful to
everyone who helps make this happen! The kindness of our members has allowed us as a community to feed our
brothers and sisters in Christ. We will not be having our usual Thursday night packing on June 23 as Saint Ambrose will
be fully booked due to the Summer Festival. So, next week we will do our Thursday packing on Wednesday night,
June 22. If you can bring your sandwiches up before Wednesdays packing (by 4:00 pm), we would truly appreciate
it! We still need your sandwiches, just on different days next week only.
