May Crowning and Devotions to Mary
The month of May is a special month dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. Father Rudi has asked we try to pray at least a decade of the Rosary daily individually or with our families daily. All are invited to pray the Rosary as a parish family 30 minutes before each weekend Mass during the month of May. Families and friends are welcome to join together to lead the Rosaries before the weekend Masses. Please check with Karen or Amy in the parish office if you are interested.
Vocations Prayer Chalice Thank you to all those that have volunteered to take our traveling vocations prayer chalice home. Your dedicated prayers for our diocesan vocations, our bishop, priests, deacons, seminarians, and religious are greatly appreciated. If you didn’t get a chance to sign up this year, the Traveling Chalice program will return next September. There are some spots left if you would like to participate during the month of May. Check out the sign-up book on the Vocations Table in the gathering space.
Stewardship God calls us to be generous with all of our gifts, including our treasure. Our faith teaches us this through the Scriptures. Read more here.
