Vacation Bible School
Join us for a week of Bible-learning fun as we set out for Serengeti Trek, WHERE KIDS ARE WILD ABOUT GOD! The OLBH Vacation bible school will be held on Monday, June 6-Friday, June 10, from 8:30am-11:30am. The cost for the week is $15 per child, not to exceed 35$ per family.
Each day the children will gather together for a musical opening, where they will be introduced to the Bible Point of the Day. Children will be divided into crews which consist of kindergarteners- 4th graders. Each crew will rotate through 5 stations every day: Bible Expedition, Critter Crafts, Chadder's Adventure Theater, Watering Hole Snacks, & Wild Games. At the end of the morning, crews will meet back upstairs for a musical closing.
There will be CDs for sale that contain all the songs the children learn at Serengeti Trek. For only $10.00 the songs can be enjoyed throughout the entire year.
It will be a rip-roaring item at OLBH as we go on a Serengeti Trek from June 6th through the 10th.
OLBH Summerfest '05
As some of you know, our tradition here at OLBH is to have activities for all of our parishioners to participate in and get a chance to meet new people during the summer, we call it Summerfest! Here is the tentative schedule. Please look in future bulletins for more information.

On Wednesday evenings we also have Home Masses at 6:00 p.m. We encourage your family to sign up as a host. Mass will be held at your home/backyard with a potluck dinner following. Guests bring a potluck dish and lawn chairs. This is a wonderful experience to have fellow parishioners come and worship in your home. Please sign up in the gathering area!

Letter from the Editor
Dear Parishioners,
This may very well be the last time you hear from me. You see, I'm graduating from high school this year and probably won't be editor of the OLBH youth newsletter anymore. Like everything else, we've had our ups and downs. The first year this newsletter was published, we could barely come up with enough material. In fact, this is the first year we haven't skipped a month (okay, technically the March issue was in April).
But, with the lack of material came ingenuity. Granted, not as much ingenuity as when there was too much material, but ingenuity nonetheless. On page 3 of this issue, I've included some of my favorite "fillers" from the past three years.
I would like to thank Brenda Czmowski and Teresa Thompson for all of their help this year: writing articles, sending me information, and so much more. Without them, this newsletter would not be possible.
See you at Summerfest,
Cathy
JOKE CORNER
Taking advantage of a balmy day in New York, my brother and three other priests swapped their clerical garb for polos and khakis and time out on the golf course. After several really horrible shots, their caddy asked, "You guys wouldn't be priests by any chance?"
"Actually, yes, we are," one cleric replied. "Why?"
"Because," said the caddy, "I've never seen such bad golf and such clean language!"
