paper. Thank You!
THE BISHOP’S ANNUAL
CATHOLIC SERVICE APPEAL – The second offering
this weekend is the annual offering for the Bishop’s Service Appeal. We listened to
the bishops’ tape last Sunday and we are all
aware of the many needs of this Diocesan offering, Please be generous.
MAY CROWNING – May is traditionally the month set aside to give special honor
and respect to our blessed mother. We will have a special ceremony this Sunday, May 4th at 6:00pm. It is
always special to honor and respect our mothers and we all would like to show great
respect for the mother of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please make every effort to
participate in this special service.
EASTER SEASON – Remember we celebrate the Easter season for fifty (50) days up to
Pentecost, won’t you make every effort to enjoy the Easter Season by the sharing in
the daily Eucharist when possible.
AGAIN - I am asking you again to please turn off heat and cool air when
leaving our family life center.
“Willful
waste makes woeful want” We received a
utility bill for our family life center last month for over $600.00.
CHOOSE LIFE – In a desperate attempt at
rationalizing their support for abortion, some clergy in Schenectady, NY, held a ceremony
to bless an abortion clinic as “sacred ground.” Pointing out the hypocrisy in
this, Kathleen Gallagher of the New York Catholic Conference, said “For many years
abortion proponents have been saying this is not a religious issue, you should keep
religion out of this, and now all of a sudden they turn around and decide to bless an
abortion clinic to gain respect for a procedure everybody knows is not worthy of
respect.” (Albany Times Union)
