Saint George Parish

A Reflection from Father King May is always a busy month with First Holy Communions, graduations, the end of school and the beginning of the summer vacations for children with all that is required to have them organized. This month we begin with the High School graduation Mass. I am sure that our high school graduates – and our college graduates – can count on the prayers of our parish as they take this new step in their lives either into the world of work or the world of higher education.

Education is a key element of our civilization. It is necessary to be able to function in our highly advanced society so as to provide for ourselves and our families as well as leading satisfying lives. Today we hear people speak of education as a very long job training. Education is much more than that. It is the means that allows us to receive the wisdom of past generations, as well as growing in the virtues – those habits of mind and will that dispose us to do good. All that is done at school – classes and tests, projects and sports – can be means to allow the student to grow in wisdom and virtue as well as knowledge and skills. I hope that our high school graduates will use their time in further education in that way too.

We pray that our graduates will persevere in their faith. That, if and when their faith is challenged, they will seek out those who can help them find the answers to their doubts or confusion – and that they will be open to the Church’s teaching and wisdom. We pray too that they will live with respect for their neighbor – at college or at work – and live their relationships in a virtuous way: with humility, honesty, generosity, courtesy, kindness, and chastity. We pray that they will have good friends and good company who will provide a healthy and happy community within which to flourish as human beings, and that they will be protected from the vices that can tempt us so powerfully as we go out into the world. We pray that they will be happy and successful in all their endeavors, and this new step in their lives will be a time of blessing and flourishing.

~Fr. King

****Due to scheduling conflicts for the next few months, we will only have two Extraordinary Ministers offering The Most Precious Blood at

communion time, one on the north and one on the south. They will administer to BOTH sections on their respective sides.

Growing in Faith, Love, Justice, and Service to Others
