First Communicant, Cora Hardick, assisted by her brother Calvin, braved this morning's rain to crown St. Mary's statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a beautiful crown of white flowers. We are truly grateful for their devotion to the Blessed Mother. "Mary, Mother of God, pray for us."

First Friday Adoration has had to be canceled for Friday, May 3, 2024.
ANIMA CHRISTI:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds conceal me.
Do not permit me to be parted from you.
From the evil foe protect me.
At the hour of my death call me. A
nd bid me come to you, to praise you with all your saints for ever and ever.
Amen.

“If you want to be close to Christ, I repeat to you ‘Ite ad Ioseph’: Go to Joseph!”
– Pope Ven. Pius XII
Today the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. In 1955 Pope Pius XII added a second day on May 1st, celebrated as the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. As a carpenter, St. Joseph worked very hard. His manual labor was difficult, and he is a great example to all of us in our daily work. In addition, he is a powerful intercessor for those who are seeking employment.

Teens from St. Mary's and St. Teresa's had a great time at Making Connections! They enjoyed time with new friends from around the diocese, joined in service projects, learned how to remain in Christ through changes and challenges in life, and ended the day celebrating Mass with Bishop Mike and Fr. Bryan.
