EUCHARISTIC ADORATION:

Wednesday, May 9th, we will have our monthly evening adoration from 6-7pm. All are invited to spend some time on either or both of these days in quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

As the activity year winds down, many start thinking about summer activities. This is the time of year I start thinking about next year, particularly regarding religious education. It is the parish’s responsibility to see that the children are receiving religious education and are participating in the life of the Church. For our younger children, preparation is needed for their First Communion. Diocesan policy requires two years of religious education prior to receiving First Communion. For those approaching their teen years, preparation is needed to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. For those in Catholic School, there is a seven week program and for those not in Catholic School, an additional two years of religious education is needed. Families who have children who will be receiving their First Communion or Confirmation are asked to contact Fr. Bacevice or Jackie Caruso-Taylor to register for classes.

2019 MASSES

This Monday, May 7th, we will begin accepting Masses for 2019. Masses will be accepted on a “first come, first served” basis. Families are restricted to two weekend Masses, with one being at 10:00am. There is no restriction on the number of daily Masses. Masses can be scheduled either in person at the rectory office during regular business hours or placed in the collection basket at any weekend Mass. The usual Mass offering is $10 and the Mass offering must accompany the request. Once Masses are scheduled, they will not be moved.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY

Our Holy Name Society appreciates your support. Each summer the Holy Name Society sponsors and organizes an annual summer picnic for all parishioners. They provide hotdogs, hamburgers, snacks and soft drinks. Many attendees bring side dishes, salads and desserts. Everyone has a good time. In addition to the Summer Picnic, the Holy Name Society sponsors our monthly Eucharistic Adoration, and raises money for various Parish projects. The Holy Name is always looking for new members. Consider using the May Holy Name Society offering envelope to become an active or supporting member. Dues are only $5 for the year. 

 

     In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue. The responsibility to make political choices rests with each person and his or her properly formed conscience. The Church does not intend to tell Catholics for whom or against whom to vote. Its purpose is to help Catholics form their consciences in accordance with God's truth.

     Catholic voters are called to properly form their consciences in preparation for voting and for the continued advocacy for just laws and policies. This process of preparation should focus on moral principles, the defense of life, the needs of the weak, and the pursuit of the common good. It requires constant prayer, understanding of Church teaching, and discernment that goes beyond campaign rhetoric and partisan politics.

     This discernment should focus on a candidate's consistency with moral principles, sincerity, integrity and the ability to effect the policies that he or she promotes. It should also include seeking and verifying background information regarding a candidate's stance on policy issues, and a consideration of those who would be directly impacted by such policies.

     Let us strive to be informed and conscientious voters.

FIRST COMMUNION

This weekend, four of our children will receive their First Communion. Andrew Malik, Jr. will receive his First Communion at the 5:30 Mass on Saturday evening. Sofia Slechticovas and Vilne Zulkute will receive their First Communion at the 10:00 Mass on Sunday morning and Eamon Robertson will receive his First Communion at the 12:00 noon Mass. We congratulate them on achieving this important milestone in their lives and we welcome them to the table of God’s Children.

CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS

As Memorial Day approaches, our Catholic War Veterans Post 613 prepares to have its annual Poppy Distribution. This activity enables the Post to continue their welfare programs for our veterans and their families. They will be distributing poppies and accepting donations after all the Masses the weekend of May 26-27. Please be generous in supporting their work.
