Jesus Group - Sorrowful Mysteries |
Corpus Christi Sunday, June 6th Centuries old, the Solemnity of the Lord's Body and Blood, formerly called "The Feast of Corpus Christi", is observed next Sunday, June 6th. It seems a most appropriate opportunity to bring closure to our Parish Eucharistic Forty Hours Devotion, which was abbreviated when the final day's ceremonies were cancelled due to a winter snow storm. We plan June 6th then to be a Day of Eucharistic Observance. The Blessed Sacrament will be solemnly exposed upon the altar at the conclusion of the Sunday Morning Mass. The Exposition will continue throughout the day until a Closing Service of Prayer at 4:00pm. A special feature of this afternoon Service will be our Procession with the Blessed Sacrament, in which all in the congregation will be invited to participate. Please plan to take part in some facet of our Corpus Christi Sunday, especially remembering in your prayers the need of increased vocations to the priesthood and religious life. 75th Anniversary Photographs Throughout the festive events of April 25th, our parishioner and professional photographer, Len Sabocsik, took numerous pictures, capturing the highlights of our Parish 75th Anniversary Celebration. His handsome photographs have been arranged in two identical albums, found on a table in the rear of Church. Prints of these photographs in various sizes are available for purchase. Over the next several weekends, you may wish to inspect the albums and take note of desirable pictures. To order, check the print sizes and prices in the front of the album and then use the red book to place your actual order, following the instructions listed therein. Len will notify you when the pictures are ready for delivery. These photographs are a wonderful way of holding on to the beautiful memories of our Parish Diamond Jubilee. 1999 Catholic Charities Appeal Our 1999 Catholic Charities Appeal is winding down and we have not reached our goal!

Ann Cigas, Chairperson A Family Perspective St. Paul today reminds us to encourage one another. Parents know how easy it is to spend most of our time correcting and little of it affirming. Why not make "encouragement" the word of the week? If you make the effort, it will become a rewarding habit. Camilla Hall Nursing Home Retirement home for the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
