When we die in God’s friendship we eventually go to Heaven,
but if we haven’t properly atoned for certain sins we have to be
purified in Purgatory first. We pray for the souls in Purgatory
to help them pass through faster than they would otherwise.
May the Lord bless you on the day of your birth and
fill your life with much happiness.

To all Teachers…..
In Appreciation
God shaped you to serve.
He made you for this time and place
to serve in just this way.
He knew you’d demonstrate His grace
and share His love each day.
We treasure all our teachers who serve
with a heart like Jesus.
We give thanks to the Lord and
remember them in our prayers.
Reflecting on God’s Word
Over the years several television shows have focused on rebuilding and
reshaping houses. For over thirty years PBS’s This Old House has offered tips
on repairing homes. More recently, Extreme Makeover takes a team into
someone’s home and transforms it to meet the serious needs of its occupants,
often dealing with health or disability issues or trying to serve the larger
community in some way.
From the beginning the church has been imagined as a house of living
stones, built on Jesus Christ, a dwelling place where people come for shelter
and sustenance, where they can set down their burdens and find comfort and
consolation before being sent back out in the world to make it a better place to live.
The risen Christ is truly one who offers an “extreme makeover.” He can be trusted to shape us into a dwelling
place where the Spirit of the Lord takes up permanent residence, bringing gifts to benefit the world. From the
beginning there have been challenges for those who form the church, and an ongoing need for renovation to
meet the needs of the time.
Our efforts to make the church a home where love, mercy, justice, and peace will be found should lead us
to build more firmly on Jesus our cornerstone. When the time comes, the home he promised to prepare for us
and take us to should be easily recognizable. It should not be that much different from the church we have
been living in all our lives.
—James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

An Invitation from Fr. Michael Russo
I am happy to announce that I will be celebrating my
Silver Jubilee to the Sacred Priesthood
on Saturday, May 24th,
at the 4 PM Anticipated Mass
at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Lafayette.
Over the past 25 years, many wonderful people have
come into my life, and I will always have very fond
memories of my time at St. Joseph Church, where my
priestly ministry began. Personal invitations to each
parishioner would be impossible for me to send.
Thus, as priests we are limited to sending formal
invitations to our family members and those with
whom we have worked very closely during our
pastoral assignments. However, please accept this
general invitation of welcome to join me for this
happy occasion. I would be blessed by your presence
and hope to see you. If not, your prayers and the
consolation that you might remember me at the Altar
of God on this day will be in itself a blessing.
PLEASE PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY
Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal
and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest.
May their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
