Rosary: Month of May
During the month of May, it is traditional that we take time to pray the
Rosary as individuals and it would be wonderful if we prayer the Rosary as
a family. We will pray the Rosary 20 minutes before our weekday masses.
All are encouraged to pray the Rosary and reflect on the mysteries of our
Christian faith.

We are all very appreciative of the wonderful kids who serve mass on a
regular basis. During the weekend of May 22nd and 23rd, I will enroll the
servers to the ministry of Altar Server. This is a brief ceremony and a
time for all of us to recognize and encourage the kids who are very
faithful to mass. To the altar servers who have not been enrolled, please
ensure you are present at these weekend liturgies.
International Worker's Day: Saturday, May 1st
Today, International Worker's Day is celebrated in many countries. It is a
time for us to recognize the value of human work, defend the dignity of
all working persons, encourage all to be responsible in their work, and
celebrate the irreplaceable role that human work has in God's plan for
creation. May God bless all who work tirelessly to provide for their
families and are faithful stewards in the vineyard of the Lord.
World Day of Prayer for Vocations: Sunday, May 2nd
Today, Christians are invited to reflect on the meaning of God's call and
pray for vocations. The whole Christian community shares the
responsibility in fostering vocations. The first step is to live in a full
Christian manner. Families with a lively spirit of faith, love and
reverence contribute greatly to this work. Let us pray for vocations to
the Priesthood and Religious Life and to pray for all who live their
vocation in single or married life.
On Thursday, May 13th , Steve Courtney will be ordained to the Deaconate
