Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Our parish is very much in need of new parishioners to distribute Holy Communion for all masses. By summer we could be so short-handed with folks vacationing that we will have only host ministers, temporarily cut cup ministers. We are
also in need of ministers to bring Holy Communion to our brothers and sisters
who are homebound or in nursing homes and hospitals.
A meeting to provide information for those questioning or answering this call to
service will be held in the main sanctuary on Thursday, May 14, from 7:00 p.m. –
9:30 p.m. The “ordinary” ministers of Holy Communion are the priest and deacons. Can you imagine how long it would take to distribute Holy Communion if
we didn’t have lay persons who are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
(EMHCs)? This is your opportunity to be considered EXTRAordinary!
So, please prayerfully consider committing to this most blessed ministry. We
shall look forward to meeting with you on May 14. Meanwhile, we’d be happy to
answer any questions you may have. Contact Diane Waite 254-780-2298, or
Steven Wick 254-780-1632

Faith Formation
YOUTH
CYM
The Youth Ministry is winding down for the school
year, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have more fun
in store! Here are some events to mark on your calendar:
END OF YEAR BBQ PARTY
We will have our end of the year BBQ on May 31st
after 5:00 p.m. mass, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The
Seger’s have graciously offered to host at their beautiful house on Lake Belton. Dress for fun on the lake
and on the land! Transportation is not provided.
CONFIRMATION CLASS
Our last confirmation class until the fall will be May
31st, from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. in the portable
building. Attendance is mandatory.
THE WEEK
"The Week" is camping at Garner State Park and a
visit to Six Flags for the youth program, scheduled for
June 9th-13th! Sign ups have begun. We also need
adult chaperones to help with carpooling and to be
part of the fun! Email [email protected] to sign up.
ADULT
Today’s Readings
This Sunday all the readings remind us that we
are caught up in the great mystery of love. The
very life and essence of God is love; and God,
who calls us and loves us first – before we are
ready or able to respond – pours out his love on
us with profound generosity. Since God has been
so generous with us, how can we be stingy – especially since love comes from God and not from
us? We are invited to receive, to treasure this
great gift and then to live and spread it throughout the world, especially toward those who are
hardest to love, our enemies.
Gospel Meditation
In today’s Gospel Jesus reminds us to love one
another. What does it mean to love one another?
Prayerfully review the Ten Commandments, notice that the first three are about loving God and
the last seven are about loving our neighbor.
LEADERSHIP RETREAT
A leadership retreat for all staff members interested
in leading the confirmation retreat will be July 18th 19th. I need one chaperone, so contact [email protected] if you are interested in helping
and EIM compliant.
WORLD YOUTH DAY PARENT MEETING
Parents of World Youth Day participants: we will be
having a meeting to discuss fundraising plans, sign
official documents and other details on Wednesday,
May 13th at 6:00 p.m. in the RE Building. This meeting is mandatory, so email [email protected] if you
have a scheduling conflict.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
En Español
Este domingo, todas las lecturas nos recuerdan que estamos atrapados en el gran misterio del amor. La misma
vida y esencia de Dios es el amor; y Dios, quien nos llama
y nos ama primero –y antes de que estemos listos para
responderle o seamos capaces de responderle- derrama
su amor sobre nosotros con generosidad indescriptible. Ya
que Dios ha sido tan generoso con nosotros, ¿cómo podríamos ser tacaños –especialmente ya que el amor viene
de Dios y no de nosotros? Estamos invitados a recibir, a
atesorar este gran don y entonces a vivirlo y propagarlo en
todo el mundo, especialmente hacia aquellos quienes son
los más difíciles de amar, nuestros enemigos.
Grupo de Oracion Carismatica
Cristo Rey los invita cada tercer Viernes del mes, a venir
alabar a Dios. Para mas información contactar a Benjamin
Vasquez 254-624-8206.
