Homebound Eucharistic Minister
If one of our loved one becomes disabled, too ill or elderly and cannot attend Mass, we
would expect them to be able to receive the Precious Body of Christ at home or at a nursing home, right? Butwhat if there is not enough Homebound Eucharistic Ministers to deliver to all of those on the list each and every Sunday, what then? The answer is heart-breaking, many may go without communion for weeks at a time and sadly this is the reality here in your parish, happening to many of our brothers and sisters in Christ. So what can I do? I can say I can make a difference, I can say I can make a change, I can give up an hour or so once or twice a month or every Sunday morning, I can say yes to the knocking on my door
and answer our plea and become a home bound Eucharistic Minister. To say yes, please call the office Tues-Fri. 9 am-12 and 1-5 PM or speak to Fr. Ed or one of our
deacons before or after Mass.
Food For The Poor: Please welcome Fr. Patrick Murphy to St. Mary’s this weekend and be as generous as you can to his appeal. Their work is motivated by their faith in God, spreading His unconditional love, regardless of race, wealth, or creed as we minister to the poorest of the poor in 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
Teens, what are you hungry for? Come to get spiritually and physically fed. Join Youth Director Jesus and Deacon Will to pray a Holy Half Hour from 11:30 AM until Noon each Thursday starting June 27th in our Chapel and then walk to a nearby restaurant.
Bring $10 for lunch. All youth are welcome!

IS GOD CALLING YOU?
Ephesians 5:19 says, “singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart.” It is to him and about him that we sing! Singing has such a unique way of bringing your heart, soul, mind, and strength together to focus entirely and completely on God. In an age of distraction, singing grabs the attention of all our senses and focuses us on God. We are NEED instrumentalists- guitar or keyboard and choir members to assist at the Sunday 10:30 am Mass. If you hear his voice harden not your hearts, please contact the parish office 
Bible Study Class-May 16th @ 7 PM in the RE Bldg, Room #3.
The Seven Last Words of Christ- The Seven Last Words of Christ from the cross have been the subject of devotions and prayers, especially for Lent and Holy Week.

Classes will be about one hour, on Thursday evenings, through June 27th. Come join us! Given by Deacon Scott.
