Did You Know?


Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.


The tongue is a unique organ in that it can be stuck out of the mouth for inspection, and yet it is otherwise well protected in the mouth and is difficult to forge. The tongue also presents both geometric shape information and physiological texture information, which are potentially useful in identity verification applications.


Now that I have your attention, take a look below at our summer calendar for youth, young adults, and family events scheduled for this summer! We also have added sign ups to help volunteer at the youth ministry parish picnic booth this summer. All sign ups for service and social opportunities can be found here: https://bit.ly/StMMSignUp.


Note the deadlines listed! These are are very important and we have to have numbers by the deadlines in order to secure tickets and/or transportation for the various events. Additionally, some events are limited in spots, so if you are interested, you need to sign up sooner rather than later.


Peace in Christ,
