Fifth Sunday of Easter

Our third group second graders receives the Sacrament of First Holy Communion tomorrow, and our first group of Confirmandi received the Sacrament of Confirmation last night. Please keep these students in your prayers, as they begin the next step of their Catholic life. Another group of Confirmandi will receive their Sacrament next weekend.

The International/National Combined Collection will be taken at all Masses this weekend. Your contribution to the good work of these organizations will give you an opportunity to participate in the mission of the Church locally, nationally, and internationally. Please give prayerful thought to your level of participation, and respond with a generous contribution. Envelopes for this collection are in your parish envelope packet and collected with the offertory. There will not be a separate second collection..

Blessings,

Father John

Last Week for the

MiraVia Collection

 

Mira Via is a Catholic, non-profit maternity and after-care program that relies on donations to support hundreds of young mothers and their children each year.



 We are collecting diapers, bottles, formula, wipes, and any new or clean, gently used clothes, and toys for Mira Via. Donations can be placed in the Narthex bin in the church.  The collection ends this weekend.

If you have any questions or larger items you would like to donate, please call Courtney Ostendarp at 704 576-1294.
