IMPORTANT DATES

April 30 – 2:00 Retreat and rehearsal for Confirmandi

May 7 –  6:00 p.m.  Crowning of our Blessed Mother

May 14 - First Communion

May 16 – Confirmation with Bishop Latino

 

MAY CROWNING

Since May is the month traditionally set aside to honor our Blessed Mother, we will have a special service in her honor Sunday, May 7 at 6:00 p.m.  The crown will be placed on our Blessed Mother by one of our First Communion children whose name will be drawn from a hat.

 

CONFIRMANDI

We rejoice with our Confirmation class who are with us this morning at the 9:00 mass.  We pray God’s blessing on these fine young people.  May the good Lord,  Father, Son and Holy Spirit guide and direct them always.

 

NEW LIFE

We welcome Thomas and Kristi Peede, whose infant,  Tyler Flynn will be reborn again in the waters of Baptism after 6:00 p.m. mass.

PARKING

It is difficult to find parking for mass on Sunday morning. (This is good!)  We have been asked by the police department not to park where a fire truck or ambulance passing through would be impeded.

 

OLD CLOTHING, ETC.

Several people have asked me to ask our parishioners not to drop off any old clothing until requested.  There is no current demand, and old clothing dumped in front of our church and other buildings does not look appealing.

 

R         Your prayers are requested for the happy repose of the soul of Annie Mae Hefley.  She is the

I           grandmother of Myra Liberto.  May she rest in peace.

DIOCESAN NEWS

Next weekend is our Catholic Service Appeal pledge collection.  Hurricane devastation, expected growth, and the rise in Catholic immigrants in our parishes have impacted the need for more CSA funding.  Bishop Latino has asked the diocesan family to reach a pledge goal of $1,150,000 for this year’s CSA.  Opening our hearts with generous CSA pledges is one way to be the light of Christ to other.

 

SIGN UP

New sign-up sheets have been placed in the back of church.  Please sign up and help serve our church.

Coffee & Doughnut hosts this week are the Guilambo family.  Church cleaners for May are Cecilia Livingston, Nikki Palazzolo, Grace Cook, and Karla Houston.
