Mission Intention for May: That the media may be at the service
of truth and peace.
CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS: There are many dioceses right here in the United States
whose parishes struggle to keep their doors open. These dioceses are classified
as home missions and cannot maintain pastoral programs like catechesis, youth
ministry, and seminary formation on their own. The Catholic Home Missions Appeal supports these dioceses by funding
essential ministries, including aid to vulnerable parishes. The Appeal next
weekend is to support these churches.
HEALING MINISTRY:
Living Waters Healing Ministry Mass at St. Alexander’s Church, Morrisonville,
First Thursday of every month at 6:30 PM.
ENVISIONING:
At the request of Bishop Terry LaValley all parishes in the Diocese of
Ogdensburg began a 5 year process of Diocesan Goals & Priorities by
the name of ENVISIONING. The purpose
and the plan are described in Find Your Home in Christ, a Pastoral
Letter from Bishop LaValley. Copies of
this letter are at the entrance of the church and in a framed copy on the wall
of the Church. Please take home and read
a copy of this letter.

Prayer for the safe return
of the young women abducted in Nigeria
Human trafficking is ugly. The terror, degradation
and destruction of the human spirit and body are real. A secondary school for
girls, in Nigeria, was attacked and almost 300 young girls were abducted. They
are destined to be sold in the sex slave trade. While a small group of the
girls were able to escape, two have died of snake bites, the others are missing
and being held by a group of terrorists.
Let us put our belief in the power of prayer into action and join together as a Diocesan
family to pray for the safe return of these young girls. You are invited to use
the prayer to St. Josephine Bakita. Every day until the safe return of these young
girls let us pray:
St. Josephine Bakita, you were sold into slavery as
a child and endued untold hardship and suffering. Once liberated from your
physical enslavement, you found true redemption in your encounter with Christ
and his Church. O St. Bakita, assist all those who are trapped in a state of
slavery. Intercede with God on their behalf so that they will be released from
their chains of captivity. Those whom man enslaves let God set free. Provide
comfort to survivors of slavery and let them look to you as an example of hope
and faith. Help all survivors find healing from their wounds. We ask for your
prayers and intercessions for those enslaved among us. Amen.
