CCO ONE LAST NIGHT!
You may have heard already about the mission team from Catholic Christian Outreach visiting the diocese for the month of May. Before we leave, we will be hosting a culminating event, open to everyone, whether they've participated in our programming so far or not. We invite you to join us on Friday, May 27, for an evening of prayer and worship called Summit.
The evening will include a reflection, testimonies, eucharistic adoration, praise and worship music, and confession. Summit will be hosted from 7-9 pm, May 27th at St. Charles Garnier Parish.
You are welcome to come for as much or as little as you're able.

Live theatre is back at Immaculata and our Old Barn Black Box Theatre!
Two nights of hilarious sitcoms and hilarious performances from our grade 8 and 9 drama classes made for two great nights of entertainment for two almost sold out shows. Thanks to our drama students, flexible teachers for allowing us rehearsal time, and generous and supportive parents and fans for coming out.
Our Mustangs Theatre Company season is not over yet! Stay tuned for a movie (The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity) from our senior drama class coming soon and a live performance (The 39 Steps) from our drama club June 8 and 9 (tickets on sale soon).

FAST RETURNS WITH SUCCESS
We had 41 participants. It was a great night with games, movies, fellowship, and fun. Mr. Richard's Clue game was a hit as was the Hide and Go Seek Tag game. We raised about $400 going towards the purchase of a water well in Africa sponsored by the Social Justice team. Thanks to all who supported the first fast in 8 years.

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks for glorious potential. The caterpillar emerges from the chrysalis as a butterfly, yet the transformation cannot compare with the resurrection You desire for me. New leaves appear on trees following winter’s dormancy, a reminder that faith, too, can blossom. Loving Father, please help me to grow, to change, and to become the person you want me to be.
