I admire the virtues which adorned your soul: love of God and neighbor, humility, obedience, patience, purity and the spirit of sacrifice. Help me to imitate your example in my state of life. Through the goodness and mercy of God, Who has blessed you with so many graces which led you to the true faith and to a high degree of holiness, pray to God for me and help me. Obtain for me a very fervent devotion to the Holy Eucharist so that I may love Holy Mass as you did and receive Holy Communion as often as I can. Teach me also to be devoted to my crucified Savior as you were, that I may cheerfully bear my daily crosses for love of Him Who suffered so much for love of me. Most of all, I beg you to pray for me that I may avoid sin, lead a holy life and save my soul. Amen.

5 PASTOR'S NOTE "RELAY FOR LIFE" SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH We are proud once again to be sponsoring a team for the Relay For Life at Arlington High School. We have had great success in raising money for this very worthy cause. This is our fifth year, and everyone who has participated in this event has truly enjoyed the experience. All of us have been affected by cancer, and Relay for Life is a way to express our concern. Date: Saturday, June 9 th at the Arlington High School Track from Noon-10 pm. Special events: Opening Ceremony at Noon, followed by the Survivors Lap around the track. We encourage any survivors or those dealing with cancer to walk this lap. The day ends at 9 pm with a very dramatic walk around the track lighted with LUMINARIA dedicated to loved ones or friends who have died from cancer. If you have never experienced this, attend at least this portion. During the day, people can walk or run around the track, share some of the food at the St. Kateri tents, or participate in any of the events going on in the field. How can you participate? Join a team to walk around the track or sponsor a team member (each team member must receive $100 in sponsorship, but we as a parish will hopefully sponsor anybody willing to participate). Purple waterproof bows will be available for sale at all Masses beginning on the weekend of May 20 th. Show your support by affixing bows to mailboxes, fences, posts, bushes, autos, etc. throughout local events. Dedication "hearts" are given with purchase of bow to be placed in basket in the sanctuary for us to pray for the names mentioned. Large purple bows are $5. Also available will be T-shirts commemorating the event at $20 each; and luminaries, one for $10 and three for $25 for use at the event, remembering our cancer victims.
