Special Needs Ministry
The Special Needs Ministry identifies the needs of parishioners with special needs and investigates the ways
and means to meet those needs. In the past the assessable door at the portico was installed. About six years
ago a railing was installed to allow parishioners better access to the altar. Signage has been installed near the
outside entrances to indicate the assessable entrance. Signage has been added to support “Don’t park on
Park”, allowing senior citizens and parishioners with limited mobility easier access to the church. Members
of the Knights of Columbus and Special Needs Committee greet and assist parishioners at the portico before
5 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. Masses. Watch for more exciting additions in the furture!
Please visit our booth in the back of the church this weekend.
Elizabeth Ministry
The Elizabeth Ministry is an international movement designed to support women and their families during
the joys, challenges and sorrows of the childbearing years and beyond. The areas include, but are not limited
to: pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, regretted abortions, infant or child death, crisis or special needs, adoption,
fertility and infertility. To contact a minister, please complete a card from the banner in the back of church or
contact the Elizabeth Ministry Coordinator at [email protected].
Please visit our booth in the back of church after Mass this weekend!
MAY ROSARY TO HONOR MARY
As we have been doing for the past few years, during the month of May we will be
saying a decade of the rosary after communion at every weekend mass. We will begin the weekend of May 7th and 8th. This devotion dedicated to our patroness Mary,
only adds a few minutes to each Mass and is a wonderful way to remember and reinforce our connection to our Blessed Mother in this month devoted to her honor.
Each weekend will focus on a different set of the mysteries of the rosary – the Joyful
Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries, and the Luminous Mysteries. The person leading the decade for each mass will introduce the mystery, read a
few lines of a meditation on the mystery, and then lead the congregation in an Our
Father, ten Hail Marys, a Glory Be, and the “O my Jesus…” prayer: “O my Jesus,
forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of
thy mercy.”
If you are interested in leading a decade of the rosary at one of our weekend Masses in May, please contact
Mandy Dillon at [email protected].
BECOME
Jesus invites us not only to receive God’s mercy, but also to become God’s mercy in this
world. What we receive from God, we give to others. The whole Christian life is giving
from the gifts we have received. “Be merciful just as your Father is merciful.” (Luke 6:36)

CONNECTING
Our Mind, Body, And Spirit
Looking for a way to relax and reduce your stress
level a bit? Looking for some quiet prayer time?
Why not combine the two? Join us once a month for
an evening of yoga, aromatherapy, prayer, guided
meditation, and peaceful music. We will use yoga
postures, movement, and breathing to relax our bodies and minds in preparation for prayer and Scripture
-based meditations. The next session is on May 4th
from 7:30 to 8:30 pm in the Gathering Place. All
ability levels are welcome, as the postures and movements can be adapted to what each individual is able
to do. Please bring either a yoga mat or a beach
towel.

CYCLE OF FAITH
Fifth Sunday of Easter
"This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if
you have love for one another." When people watch us,
do they know that we are the disciples of Jesus?
As Christians, we are called to do more than love the
Lord. We are called to be his witnesses in the world by
loving others as well. In today's Gospel reading, he gave
us a new commandment, "As I have loved you, so you
also should love one another." Anyone, everyone,
should be able to look at us and see this love in action.
If we are not witnesses to this love, then we are falling
short of our mission.
So, how did Jesus love us? Selflessly. His love was
never motivated by personal gain. On the contrary, he
often suffered for us, and not just on the cross. He faced
rejection and animosity for loving those who were considered "unlovable" in his culture. He lived a life of
poverty and simplicity, never focused on amassing
things for himself, but always willing to give of himself.
This is the love we are called to imitate.
