• Day 2: For the grace to discern how God is calling us to know, love, and serve Him.

• Day 3: For the grace to accept our calling generously.

• Day 4: For those currently living a generous single life for the Lord.

• Day 5: For the protection of our vocations from every diabolical attack.

• Day 6: For the gift of holy marriages and families, the wellspring of vocations.

• Day 7: For an abundance of ordained clergy to bring us the Sacraments.

• Day 8: For the gift of religious sisters and brothers to serve the Church.

• Day 9: For all in consecrated life (including third orders) who pray for us.

Let us pray:

Hear us, we beseech you, Lord, our God,
and pour out on these your servants the blessing of the Holy Spirit, that these men, who are to be consecrated to your service, may be surrounded by your rich and unfailing grace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

❤💙Today, we observe two meaningful occasions: Memorial Day and the memorial of Blessed Mary, Mother of the Church. As we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, we also turn to Mary, Mother of the Church, asking her to pray for us and for all who have sacrificed for our freedom.

🔥🚒🌶
Join us in the Community Room for our Hot Wing Challenge as Fr. Paul and his cohorts put their taste buds to the test with wings covered in increasingly fiery hot sauces! 🔥
From mild to “what were we thinking?” levels of spice, the competition is sure to bring plenty of laughs, sweat, and maybe even a few tears. All proceeds will help send our youth to the Steubenville Youth Conference this summer. Come cheer them on, support our teens, and see who can survive the ultimate wing challenge!

🔥This weekend, we celebrate Pentecost, often called the birthday of the Church. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the “Advocate.” The Latin word for lawyer is “advocatus.” Like a lawyer, the Holy Spirit defends and guides us. So, when you’re in trouble, don’t forget — ask for your lawyer, and do what he tells you.
See you at Mass! 🕊
