Memorial Day Mass will be at 9 AM at the Cemetery. The Mass will be moved to the

church if it rains.

Memorial Day Mass

NOTE: On Monday, May 27th (Memorial Day) Confessions will not be held.

I read an article written by some-

one who is not Catholic. She wrote

that what she admires most about

Catholics is that they are

“wonderful at being sad.” It’s true

that some people are better at

being sad than others. We Catho-

lics have things like Lent, penance,

sacrifice, solemn vigils, and a three

-dimensional corpus of Jesus on our crucifixes to deepen our

understanding that sorrow is important. It can bear fruit and

even be beautiful when it is carried in grace. We know that

sentiments such as “Don’t worry, everything will be OK” might

not be as satisfying to our spirits as, “God is here and that is

enough.”

Some people, too, will commemorate Memorial Day better

than others. Beyond just beer, barbecues, and mattress sales,

it’s good to take some appropriate time for prayer, gratitude,

remembering, honoring, and even somber grieving for many

who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us. It’s important and

beautiful. Have a meaningful Memorial Day.

What troubles your heart and makes you

afraid? How can the special kind of

peace Jesus gives help you?

Please take time today to discuss this question with

others, or to reflect on it in private prayer.

Gospel Question of the Week

It is never easy to say goodbye, and it is always

harder when it is someone who has made such a

lasting impact. So, it is with deep gratitude and

sadness that we say farewell to Zach Zaldivar, our

Coordinator of Middle School Youth Ministry. He has

been an incredible member of our staff and he will be sorely

missed. Zach and his family will be moving to Denver, Colorado

(home for his wife) in July. We wish him well and know that he

will continue to be a blessing to everyone he encounters.
