Novena Prayer
O Gracious Father, in every age
and at all times You bless Your
people with great gifts. Through
the prayers of Saint Jude Thadde-
us, powerful patron of the hope-
less, scatter the darkness of our
fear, crush the coronavirus and its
havoc, awaken cooperation for
the common good, safeguard all
who serve the sick and needy,
inspire charity in our words and
deeds, and train our hearts again
to trust in you.
Help our weary, broken world,
Living Lord, with faith, peace,
kindness, and compassion, with
humility, respect, joy, and cour-
age. See us through these trials,
Lord God, especially people giv-
en to depression and despair, the
unemployed, the homeless, the
hungry, and all with daily strug-
gles. May our love and respect for
Your creation bring new life,
greater mutual support, and en-
during, confident hope for all.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Time to do
some spring
cleaning!
The St. Vincent de Paul truck will be stationed in the church parking lot on Saturday,
June 26, 10AM to 2PM. Time to clean out closets and basements for those gently
used items! Your donated items will be taken to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store on
Walnut Street where they will be stocked in the store and sold at a low cost to many fami-
lies and individuals in need. When the St. Vincent de Paul members make calls each week,
they also give out store vouchers to the needy in our area. There are so many that are living
without adequate dishware, pots and pans, bedding, chairs, dressers, and more. These
vouchers can be redeemed for the clothes, shoes, furniture and household items that you
have donated.
Your donated items are greatly appreciated! But there are several items that CANNOT be
accepted. They include:
Infant car seats and cribs
Large tube TVs
Damaged walkers and wheelchairs with missing parts
Large exercise equipment
Household building materials such as toilets, sinks, tubs, windows, or doors
Desks
Old appliances and water heaters
Mattresses and box springs
Pianos and organs
Built in appliances
Printers
Old console stereos
Cassette and VHS tapes
Long fluorescent light bulbs
Tires
Batteries, open & old paint, and other hazardous items
Old carpet
We are also calling on volunteers to man the collection truck. Volunteer for just one hour
to receive items and stack in the truck. This is a great volunteer opportunity for families
and students needing volunteer hours. Please call the St. Ben’s Parish Center at 812-425-
3369 to volunteer.
We appreciate your generosity!
