CATHOLIC CHARITIES
Next weekend, May 19-20,
we will be participating in an impor-tant follow-up Parish Appeal for
Catholic Charities. Funds to expand treatment and prevention services to
fight the opioid crisis that has a grip on our families and friends. In
2017, nearly 1,200 people in our diocese died of drug overdoses. With your
help, Catholic Charities will be able to expand their reach and provide help
and hope to those suffering from addiction. All gifts returned in the In-Pew
envelopes next weekend or donated online at
www.Catholic-Community.org/Challenge
will be matched up to $100,000. Prayerfully consider the impact you can have
and please give as generously as possible. Contact Karen Joyce at

This
Sunday, is Mothers Day, the day we honor our mothers. On this day, we
remember the prayer of blessing given to new mothers on the day their child
is baptized: "God the Father, through his Son, the Virgin Mary’s child,
has brought joy to all Christian mothers, as they see the hope of eternal
light shine on their children. May he bless (our mothers). They now thank
God for the gift of their children. May they be one with their children in
thanking God for ever in heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord." 
We
ask you to remember in your prayers the soul of James Fabec who died
recently and was buried from our parish. May he have eternal rest in the
peace of God’s kingdom.

who ordered flowers and plants from the Altar Society are reminded to pick
