Mission Intention for May
That the Lord may help the Church in China persevere in fidelity to the Gospel and grow in unity.
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS: The Catholic Home Missions Appeal works to support home mission dioceses in the United States that are unable to fund important pastoral works including lay ministry training. Home mission dioceses rely on lay ministers, because parishes are often hundreds of miles apart and priests cannot get to every parish each weekend. Please help strengthen the Church at home through your generosity to this Appeal next weekend.
MARRIAGE TIP: A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. What new relationship skill would enhance your current stage of marriage? Find more Marriage Rx atwww.foryourmarriage.org.

WE VALUE THE GIFT OF LIFE: THIRTEEN WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION
Hello Spiritual Friends, thank you for praying for me and watching my development. Life is truly a gift from our creative, loving God. This is week thirteen of my development and I am about four inches long. On an ultrasound, you could watch me sucking my thumb. My mother’s doctor advised her not to sleep on her back or stomach –doing so would put too much pressure on her uterus. “Honor your mother, and do not abandon her as long as she lives… Remember … she went through many trials for your sake while you were in her womb.” (Tobit 4:3-4)
BIRTHRIGHT VOLUNTEER TRAINING: When you hear of someone who is pregnant and in difficulties, do you want to help her quietly in practical ways that respect her dignity and her baby’s life? Consider joining Birthright. Training will be held on Saturday, May 21 starting at 9:30 am running till 3:00 pm. For information and to reserve your place please call and arrange an interview with the training chairman, Anne Marie Healey at the BIRTHRIGHT OFFICE (563-4300), 66 Clinton Street, Plattsburgh or at home (834-7091), 183 Hill St, Keeseville.
