Time-  We always need volunteers to serve our parish, including your neighbors and friends.  Memorable events depend on gifts of time and effort.

Talent-  You help our parish increase its service by sharing your own expertise, interests, and abilities.

Treasure-  Finally, we ask you to increase your weekly offering to the parish. This would help us maintain our programs and our budget. more Click to go back to top of Page

2010 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL

Here’s an update for our parish participation in this year’s appeal. If you have not made a pledge yet, please consider doing so now.

Remember that anything contributed above goal is returned to the parish. There are a few projects that need to be done and without your help this will not be possible and further water damage will occur.

GOAL: $ 41,596 PLEDGED: $63,452

NUMBER OF DONORS: 215

As I had mentioned in the past if each and every parishioner did their part in the appeal we would far surpass our goal.  Remember there are 793 families who receive contribution envelopes so we should have far more than 215 pledges to date.

Many thanks for all your support for without that financial support we cannot continue to serve the spiritual needs of our community.

10 Things your Child or Grandchildren  should know about Prayer
by Susan Taylor Brown Click to go back to top of Page

  1. Prayer is communication.
    It can be spoken or silent. It can be a song or a story. It can be a picture or a dance.
  2. Prayer can be done as often as you like.
    Every week. Every day. Every hour.
  3. Prayer can be done however you want.
    There's no right or wrong way to pray.
  4. Prayer can be shared, but doesn't have to be.
    It can be done alone or with a favorite toy. It can be done with friends, family or pets.
  5. Prayer can be done anywhere.
    It can be done in your room or at the kitchen table. It can be done out in your yard, at the park or even at the zoo.
  6. Prayer can be done in any mood.
    You can be happy, sad, angry, scared or confused when you pray.
  7. Prayer can be for yourself or someone else.
    If you know someone who could use a little help -- add them to your prayers.
  8. Prayer doesn't need a certain structure, length or specific words.
    Whatever words you use, long or short, however your prayer comes out is fine.
  9. Prayer doesn't need a special occasion.
    There are certain prayers appropriate to special occasions but you don't need to wait for a special time to pray.
  10. Prayer doesn't have to be a request.
    It can also be used to give thanks for what you have already received. "Thank you," is a perfect prayer.

The Angelus

In the Angelus, the first part of the Hail Mary is said by the leader, while the others respond with the second part.

V.  The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R.  And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

V.  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
R.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

V.  Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R.  Be it done unto me according to your word.
Hail Mary...

V.  And the Word was made flesh.
R.  And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary...

V.  Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R.  That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:  Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Queen of Heaven

V.  Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
R.  For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.

V.  Has risen, as he said, alleluia.
R.  Pray for us to God, alleluia

V.  Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R.  For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray:

O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.
 

Glory be...
