EUCHARISTIC ADORATION:

Wednesday, May 9^th, 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 7^th, 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.
