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.
God
Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice

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. |
