Dear Parish Family, A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS AND ALL WHO ARE VISITING WITH US TODAY! Please know we are very happy you have decided to worship with us today. You are most welcomed and loved at this special place! If you need any type of service or ministry please do not hesitate to call me or any member of our staff. We are most happy to serve you!
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: Congratulations and prayerful best wishes to all of our young parishioners who received their First Holy Communion this weekend. May our dear Lord continue to flood your soul with His graces as you receive His Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity today and each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. Congratulations also go out to all of our dear parents, siblings, family, friends and catechists/teachers of our children.
ANNUAL SPRING NOVENA: Each Spring, Saint Mary Parish conducts a Novena in honor of a title of Our Blessed Lady. This year, since it is the 100th Anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima (1917-2017), we will praying a nine day Novena in honor of Our Lady of Fatima beginning on May 7 until May 15 at
7:00 PM. Please note: The Holy Rosary will be prayed beginning at 6:30 PM. Please join us in this most powerful novena of our times.
MAY PROCESSION AND CROWNING: On Tuesday, May 9 at 7:00 PM the entire parish community of Saint Mary will conduct our Annual May Procession and Crowning of the Statue of Our Lady. This year is very special because we will be celebrating the
100th Anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima to the three shepherd children. The May Procession will include a moving float with Our Lady of Fatima and the three shepherd children: Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. Also appearing will be the ANGEL OF PORTUGAL, also known as the ANGEL OF PEACE. The float will stop 6 times during the route around the campus. Each stop we will hear the message of each apparition of Our Lady to the world.
MOTHER'S DAY REMEMBRANCE CARDS: Each year we offer Mother's Day Remembrance Cards for the intentions of our Living and Deceased Mothers. The names of our Mothers will rest on the corner of our Main Altar on Mother's Day weekend for the special
remembrance and/or intentions of our dear moms. Please pick up a Mother's Day Remembrance Card in our Church Library or the Parish Office Center (formally called the Parish House) during office hours. A suggested offering of $5 is requested.
GOLF OUTING & DINNER SOCIAL: On Friday, May 12 Saint Mary School will celebrate its 4th Annual Golf Outing & Dinner Social. You are most cordially invited to this important fundraiser for our school. Do you think you can either
participate in the golf outing and/or attend the dinner social? If not, please consider making a donation of $25 or more payable to Saint Mary School. Thanks!
PARISH GIVING: I highly recommend that all of our parishioners look into the idea of Electronic Funds Transfer. This method of giving/contribution, as you know, is paperless. Your contribution will be transferred from your account (whatever
account you select: savings, checking, etc) to the parish account. Why is this important? Well, in order to keep our parish solvent we have to try not to go under budget. In Parish Giving, you will not have to worry about Church contribution when you are away visiting another parish, on vacation, while you are under the weather or forgot to stop at an ATM before church. Please go to our church web site and click the 3rd tab at the TOP called Parish Giving. Follow the easy to follow prompts. If you have any questions please call our Parish Business Manager, Mary Beth O'Connor for more information. Thank you for considering. For all of our parishioners, whether currently using Parish Giving (Electronic Funds Transfer) or not, please consider increasing your donation by $1.
Have a nice week everyone!
Love and prayers, Father Bellopede
