Virtues, EXPLAINED!
“Piety denotes the reverence which we give to our faith and to our country,” writes St. Thomas Aquinas. “And since God is the Father of all, the worship of God is also called piety.”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK — This past weekend in the Gospel reading, the resurrected Jesus sends the disciples forth equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit to forgive or retain sins. Does forgiving others come easily to you?

Come Holy Spirit,

Descend upon us and fill us with the fire of Your love!

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.

8:00AM Mass today will be held at St. Michael Cemetery, weather permitting, otherwise Mass will be at the Church. There will be no 6:30AM Mass.

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!

Join us for 8:00AM Mass on Monday, May 25th at St. Michael Cemetery, weather permitting, otherwise Mass will be held at the Church. There will be no 6:30AM Mass.

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
The virtue of loyalty is closely linked to the virtue of obedience, wherein we freely submit ourselves to rightful authority. We are called to be loyal to our bishops, to Scripture and Tradition, to the teaching authority of the Church, and to the Christian way of life.

Traditionally, a May Crowning is when we place a crown of flowers on a statue of Mary at our parish (or at home). In doing so, we honor Mary as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God.

Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us!
