Mission Intention for June: That priests, united to the Sacred Heart of Christ, may always be true witnesses to the caring and merciful of God.
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS: Thank you for your contribution to help strengthen the Church at home! Your generosity will provide much-needed training for lay persons in parishes that rarely see priests, aid to parishes struggling to keep their doors open, and support for many other essential pastoral works in poor dioceses across the United States. To learn more about Home Missions funding and who the Appeal helps, please visitwww.usccb.org/nationalcollections.
MEMORIAL DAY: On Memorial Day we remember those who fought in the wars of our country . These men and women demonstrated the highest form of faith in the triumph of good over evil. As we remember them it is important that we also remember those of our parish who fought in these wars and who are buried in St. James Cemetery. Let us be thankful for their generous service to all of us, and let us pray for them as we visit their graves:
HOLY DAY: The Feast of the Ascension of the Lord will be observed as a Holy Day of Obligation on Thursday, May 1st. Masses for this day will be at 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM.

Hello Spiritual Friends, it has been fifteen weeks since I was conceived. My weight doubled in the last two weeks and my body started to produce baby fat this week. Fat is very important for my heat production and metabolism. My eyebrows have formed and my hairline is also visible. For several weeks now, I have had all the body parts required to experience pain. . On you I have relied since my birth, since my mother's womb you have been my portion, the constant theme of my praise. (Psalm 71:6
