Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal This year’s Appeal, Sharing God’s Blessings is a perfect opportunity for us to reflect on God’s generosity to us and to share the blessings we have been given with those around us. We are often reminded by our Holy Father Pope Francis and Sacred Scripture that in order to love one another we must share the blessings which God has provided to us. We are called to similarly share what is granted to us by God and return it to Him so that not one of our brothers and sisters goes without: without the gift of faith; without the essential human needs; and without a personal rela-tionship with Our Lord. We are called to Share God’s Blessings, and when we do, we find freedom and joy in proclaiming the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, just as the Apostles did over 2,000 years ago! Will you join your brothers and sisters in Sharing God’s Blessings? May God bless you for your generosity!
Reminder The rectory is closed between the hours of 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Staff is unavailable during that time.
Our Plans for the Feast of OLMC The Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is Thursday, July 16. The Feast Mass will be Sunday, July 12 at 12:15 p.m. An outdoor procession with music by the Red Mike Festival Band and fellowship will follow. If you wish to volunteer in the planning of, or if you wish to help out on the day of the celebration, call the recto-ry. Join us in the festivities!
A Mother’s
Day Prayer
God our
creator, we
come before
you and lift
up in prayer all mothers, grandmoth-
ers, stepmothers and mothers to be
who gave the gift of life.
We give you thanks for their pres-
ence, talents and gifts which they
share in our church, society and
world. May all mothers know of your
loving and gentle presence and may
they always turn towards you in
times of joy, sorrow and glory. We
ask this in your name.
Amen.
