3 APRIL 29, th Sunday of Easter CONGRATULATIONS to Cooper Cervelli, a student in our school, who received the STCU Credit 2 Kids award this past week.

They awarded our school $500 on behalf of Cooper and his work in organizing a furniture drive and pick up for Catholic Charities Furniture Bank. Thank you Cooper, for being such an inspiration to us! On Tue, May 1, we are happy to welcome Bishop Daly here to celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist with students from our parish.

The practice dates back at least 700 years and is still observed around the world today. The celebration of May as a holy month for Mary has been ratified by several popes through the ages. Pope Benedict XV ordered a prayer for peace in 1915 during World War I and Pope Pius XII called for May devotions in 1939, at the start of World War II. Holy Immaculate Mary, help all who are in trouble. Give courage to the faint-hearted, console the sad, heal the infirm, pray for the people, intercede for the clergy, have a special care for nuns; may all feel, all enjoy your kind and powerful assistance, all who now and always render and will render, you honor, and will offer you their petitions. Hear all our prayers, O Mother, and grant them all. We are all your children: Grant the prayers of your children. Amen forever. (Prayer of St. John Paul XXIII)
