BANNS OF MARRIAGE:

Announcing the 1st Banns of Marriage for

Cory Metzger & James Mattern.

LITURGICAL REFLECTION

The Church continues the great Easter celebration. For

fifty days we commemorate the glorious resurrection of

Christ from the dead. It is the resurrection of the Lord that

grounds our faith. At the Funeral Mass we commend our

deceased brother or sister in the sure and certain hope that,

together with all who have died with Christ, our dead will

rise with Christ on the last day. Death and resurrection are

at the heart of the believing Christian. Christ died for the

forgiveness of our sins. His resurrection confirms the

Father’s love for his children. Life has been restored and

there is victory over sin and death. Order of Christian

Funerals, 1998/1989, Number 175. Liturgical Reflection...

This is Pentecost Sunday and the fifty days of the Easter

Feast conclude. Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy

Spirit who reveals faith in the death and resurrection of

Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that enlightens the minds

of believers to go forth and share the good news of the

dying and rising of the Lord. Christians are people of life.

We boldly proclaim our shared faith in Christ’s saving

death and resurrection. With 1.3 billion Catholics we

proclaim with certitude and trust our faith in God’s

abiding love, the Lord’s salvific death and resurrection,

and the Spirit’s guiding presence in our lives.

FAMILIES AND THE GOSPEL

John 17:11-19

Jesus was worried about his disciples and he turned to

prayer. No matter how much time we spend trying to

“guard and protect” our children, each day they become less dependent on us and we must let go and let God. Prayer and

parenting go together. No one understands that more than

Mothers!

**Parish Outreach A basket will reside in the narthex of both IC and SA on an ongoing basis for collection of small prize items for bingo games at the local nursing homes. Please consider buying an item or two for donation. Some suggestions are word searches, crossword puzzles, nut-free candy bars, and single serving snack bags.

BAPTISM CONGRATULATIONS

Elijah Michael Hau, child of

John and Mazzie Hau, was

baptized and welcomed into

our Parish Family. Please

pray for his continued

growth in faith. Jesus said,

"Let the children come to me;

do not prevent them, for the

kingdom of God belongs to

such as these.”

Mark 10:13-16

IN LOVING MEMORY

The Sanctuary candle for the second two weeks of

May at Saint Agnes Church is burning in loving

memory of the deceased members of the Rosary

Altar Society by members. The Sanctuary candle

for the second two weeks of May at Immaculate

Conception Church is burning in loving memory of

Connie Shomer by Joe Sohmer HN 1:4 In Him was

life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

SAINTS OF THE WEEK:

May 14 - St. Matthias

May 15 - St. Isidore the Farmer

May 18 - St. John I

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

"Think of the person you most respect. You can

become that person for someone else." Taken from, "A

Graduate's Guide to Life".

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION

The stewardship of disciples is not reducible only to one task

or another. It involves embracing, cultivating, enjoying,

sharing – and sometimes also giving up – the goods of

human life.
