Adoration Of The Blessed SacramentPlease join us if at all possible this Monday May 2nd for Mass at 8:00am and we will have Adoration immediately after Mass for [one] hour. This will be an opportunity to sit and visit with Jesus, listen to him, thank him for our blessings and talk to him about our needs.   

 

Healing Mass Mass this coming Friday May 6th is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and conversation.

Choose Life Adult stem cells are showing promise in growing bones to replace those damaged from birth defects, arthritis, or injury. Cheekbones and a jaw bone have been grown from stem cells in the patient’s own bone marrow and subsequently implanted. “The availability of personalized bone grafts engineered from the patient’s own stem cells would revolutionize the way we currently treat these defects,” commented a researcher at Columbia University which, along with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, has achieved success in this area.  (NRL News, 10/09)

 

Note Change The Knights of Columbus will meet this Sunday as they will be cooking May 8th.

 

Please we are honoring our high school graduates on Sunday May 15th at the 9:00am Mass. We are asking them to process into church with Fr. Ruane and to sit in the front reserved pew.
