Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary – May 7 and May 8, 2016
Ascension of the Lord
Liturgies and Paraliturgies
Including Mass Intentions
Pastor’s Corner
My Dear Friends,
This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day in
the United States. This national holiday,
always celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May,
celebrates the vocation of motherhood.
Congratulations to all mothers and mother-tobe! Thank
you for all
the work
you do for your children and those you
love! Have a wonderful day!
On this day, we also celebrate the
Feast of the Ascension of the Lord. In
today’s selection from the Gospel of
Luke, we read: “Then he led them out
as far as Bethany, raised his hands,
and blessed them. As he blessed them he parted from them and was
taken up to heaven. They did him homage and then returned to
Jerusalem with great joy, and they were continually in the temple
praising God” (Luke 24: 50-53). Though the disciples initially thought
this would be bad news, Jesus assured them that it was indeed good
news, for he had to go to heaven to send down the Holy Spirit to be with
them.

From the Office of the Bishop
May 8, 2016
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Each year, the Diocese of Raleigh takes up a special collection for the
national Catholic Communication Campaign. This collection, which
will take place the weekend of May 7-8, is one way we can help
spread the Gospel through new media tools and digital networks.
Half of the money received through the Catholic Communication
Campaign remains in the Diocese of Raleigh and allows for continued
growth and cutting-edge use of new technology to help inspire, educate, and inform the faithful. We place Lenten and Advent messages
on TV and radio, work with the news media in promoting the Good
News, and publish NC Catholics magazine. Our media efforts also
reach out to those not familiar with the Catholic faith.
Some of our best known videos and podcasts include "Raleigh to
Rome," a weekly news brief on local and global Catholics news;
"Catholic Life," which features interviews with fascinating people
about important topics and their personal faith stories; and "La Voz
Catolica," a weekly Spanish-language podcast dedicated to serving the
Hispanic communities around the Diocese. To learn more about these
videos and podcasts, go to DioceseofRaleigh.orgNideos or search
"Diocese of Raleigh" on iTunes or YouTube.
The other half of the funds collected are sent to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to be used for promoting national communications initiatives including live stream coverage of
the Holy Father and more.
Please know of my gratitude for your support for this important initiative and all the evangelization efforts in our Diocese.
Sincerely in Christ,
Michael F. Burbidge
Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge
Bishop of Raleigh

Sister Isaac—Office of Social Ministry
Ascension of the Lord
St. Mary Social Ministry/Tileston Outreach
We are getting ever so closer to the great feast of Pentecost! The
readings from the Acts of the Apostles that recount the beginnings of our
Church and the words of Jesus as reported in John’s account of the Last
Supper continue to nourish our spirits.
This past Thursday we celebrated the feast of the Ascension which in
some dioceses is celebrated today. I really liked the way our “Little
White Book” played on the word presence. True, Jesus is ascending to
the Father, but his presence, His Spirit, is always with us.
Jesus prays for us – for us, at His last supper and He reminds His Father
that we are gifts and we are receiving the very same love that the Father
pours out on Jesus. That is very, very powerful. That is one of the
reasons why Stephen, the first martyr for the faith, is able to accept
death and asks forgiveness for those who are killing him. This is our
History and that is just one of the reasons why Pope Francis has called
for this Year of Mercy. Our heritage is that of men and women living
the spiritual and corporal works of mercy each day.
Each one of us is called to be the presence of Jesus to those we meet
each day and when I live mercy I am responding to Jesus’ prayer that we
all may be one.
Special Need for the Week:
Thank you so much for the great support given to our Yard Sale. It
was the best ever! We raised over $3,800 and that will definitely help
us continue our program of providing home furnishings and appliances to those in need. If you have any garden utensils that are not being
used, we would be happy to have them. A good number of our people
do “odd yard jobs” to supplement their income.
RCIA
This weekend we held our final session, looking at
various ways we can become active in serving our
brothers and sisters. The 2016-2017 program will
begin in late September. If you are interested in
RCIA contact wither John Walsh or Sister Isaac at
762-5491 x135.

"Let your light so shine..." Matthew 5:16
I hope that your children enjoyed our annual
Field Day. I am sorry to have missed this
event as I was in Raleigh for the final principals' meeting of the year. Thank you to Mrs.
Parker and the 8th grade students for planning and leading this
event. An extra treat of Granny's Ice Cream truck was provided by
Mrs. Letson and H.S.A. I'm sure that was a great surprise for all.
Great News—Our Varsity Science Olympiad Team (23 students in
grades 6-8), coached by Mrs. Brown, were one of 50 school teams
statewide that were invited to compete in the State Science Olympiad Competition. The results were exceptional! The team placed 6th
out of 50 teams statewide! They are the top scoring Catholic school
in the state! Congratulations to the members of the team and Mrs.
Brown! Thanks to all of the parents and Mr. Hogan who have volunteered to assist Mrs. Brown throughout the year.
Lions Club Vision Screening - We thank the local Lions Club
volunteers who visited St. Mary School to offer a free vision
screening to the students in grades 1-3. Screening results were sent
home to parents.
Book Fair and 8th Grade Pizza Supper—Thank you to Mrs.
Pafford and all the parent volunteers who helped with the Spring
Book Fair. Profits from this fair help to supply new books for our
main library and individual class libraries. Thank you to all who
came out for supper on Wednesday evening. Our 8th graders did a
great job greeting and serving. The 8th grade parents and students
work this event in order to raise money for the end of year 8th
grade trip to Camp Don Lee. We thank you for supporting their
event.
Dancing with the Stars—Our dancers are busy practicing their
routines and I look forward to this event being sold out. The way
our school will make a profit will be by people voting at the event
or online. Each vote costs $10. Tickets are now available. I hope
that many of you will come out for a very entertaining and fun
evening. Bring your friends to our beautiful Upper Room for this
event which will benefit the school's educational programs. Auction
items will also be included. This is H.S.A.'s main fundraiser of the
year, so I hope to see you there.
