1 Jn
2:1-5a Lk 24:35-48
Peter proclaims the wonders of the Lord: the suffering Messiah is
raised from the dead and has been glorified. This Jesus is our intercessor, and
our offering for sin, our peace.
Stewardship
The
disciples in today’s Gospel came to know Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
When we share what we have with those who are in need, we, too, will discover
Jesus in our midst.
PLEASE
PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS
For those who are ill, especially:
Marion Mraz,
Beverly Turok, Josephine Sarnoski, Elizabeth Connelly, Genevieve Casey,
Peter Yazgier, Keith Bloomer,
Terri Mahoney, Josephine Martens and
Cathleen DeLorenzo that their suffering and trials may become sources
of grace for themselves and others.
The best and most beautiful things in
the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS RETREAT
May

Experience and wisdom often come with age. How wonderful to share that wisdom with those
closest to us! For mothers and adult daughters.
Ministry of Mothers
Sharing – “MOMS”
The call to be a mother is a gift from
God. Mothers are entrusted with the
spiritual and physical upbringing of their children and live with many demands
on their time and energy. Bring the
companionship of other women into your busy life as a mother.
“MOMS” creates in women an awareness of the
inner sacred self while at the same time teaching new ways to inspire,
encourage, and affirm one another.
“MOMS” gives you an opportunity to clarify your values, claim your own
giftedness, and bring these strengths to your family relationships and to the
Christian community.
