All are invited to participate in this memorable sacramental event, bringing to the Table of the Risen Lord our seven young first communicants. May it be a beautiful day for them and their families! 1999 Catholic Charities Appeal Stewardship is the call to realize our Christian vocation as disciples of Christ Jesus. God asks us to be responsible caretakers of His gifts, expressing our gratitude by eagerly sharing our time, talent and treasure out of love for Him and one another. Your support of the 1999 Catholic Charities Appeal is a true response to His call. The Appeal itself opens next weekend, May 1st-2nd, and continues for the subsequent three weeks. Please be as generous as you are able, rendering assistance to the poor and needy among us. CCD News There will be no CCD classes on May 2nd and May 9th. Our last class of the year will be on May 16th. Thank you. A Family Perspective In today's Gospel, Jesus alerts us to the need to recognize the Shepherd's voice. Parents who keep their own ears tuned to Jesus' voice will teach their children to recognize it as well. That way, the whole family can "have life and have it to the full." |
