4 MAY 14, 2017 ST. COLUMBANUS CHURCH #481/PAGE 4 We congratulate the boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 13. We thank their parents, and all those in our Parish School and Religious Ed. who worked so hard to prepare the children for this day. As I get older, I forget more and more events in my past, but one thing that remains vivid in my recollection is my First Holy Communion. I hope our children will always treasure the great gift (magnum donum) of receiving the true Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. May we all show our faith in the true presence by how we dress and act at Mass and how we live our lives as Catholics. As I mentioned last week, May 13, 2017 is also the one hundredth anniversary of our Lady s appearance to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. Our Lady s message was that everyone, if they want peace, must pray especially the Rosary and do penance. The children were also shown many countless souls going to hell for their sins, especially sins against purity. Francisco and Jacinta Marta on this weekend will be the youngest canonized saints who were not martyred. In their young lives they did many penances and prayed the Rosary constantly. What excuses do we make to indulge ourselves in sinful activities and neglect Mass and praying? Let us, young and old alike, follow the example of the children of Fatima. We remember, too, that if it weren t for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus would not have become man. This month of May is dedicated to Mary our Mother, and so we will have our May crowning and Rosary procession this Monday at 7:00 p.m. To honor both the Eucharistic Lord and His Blessed Mother, we will conclude our devotion with Benediction. Many saints have expressed the notion that devotion to Mary is a sign of our salvation. May we all pray and meditate daily on the mysteries of the Rosary in our own family life. That and going to Mass regularly are two great gifts we can give our children that will last a lifetime. In Jesus and Mary, Fr. Frank Samoylo 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OUR LADY S APPARITION AT FATIMA Our Lady appeared to the children of Fatima asking them to pray the Rosary and make sacrifices to God in reparation for sins committed against Him. To honor Mary s request the Legion of Mary is asking parish families to sign up and take Our Lady of Fatima statue into their homes for a week and invite their relatives, friends and neighbors to say the Rosary. Sign up sheets are on the tables in the front and back of the Church. Please sign up and we will call you. Don t miss this opportunity to please our Lord! K OF C COMMUNION BREAKFAST The Knights of Columbus will be holding a Communion Breakfast after the 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Masses on Sunday, May 21st in Dillon Hall. All are welcome to enjoy some good food and fellowship.
