THANK YOU!! A very special THANK YOU to all who helped make the parish Basket Auction such a great success. Thank you to all who worked behind the scenes and those who worked the Auction. Thank you to all who donated for the auction. We had wonderful prizes because of you Thank you to our seventh and eighth grade students who helped set up, clean up and be runners with the prizes. Of course, thank you to all who continue to support our parish through these fundraisers. This is one of our largest fundraisers during the year, and it was another success because of all of YOU! Our Bulletin is in Jeopardy Ever wonder how much the bulletin costs to print each week? It costs the parish nothing! Our printing costs are taken care of by the businesses who sponsor ads on the back cover. If you look at it today, you will see two ads, St. Peter s Cemetery and Café Milano. The rest of the ads are just filler. We need your help in getting more ads! When you shop, have your nails and/or hair done, when you visit your doctor or dentist, please ask them to consider placing an ad in our bulletin. You can give them the phone number on the back of the bulletin, or call the rectory with the name of the person you spoke with a phone number and we will have the bulletin company contact them.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In ancient Rome, the beautiful month of May was dedicated to the goddess Flora, the patroness of flowers and new life.

3 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In ancient Rome, the beautiful month of May was dedicated to the goddess Flora, the patroness of flowers and new life. May 1 was considered the beginning of abundant growth, and a day for public festivals aimed at expelling winter. Even after Christianity took hold, the customs of the pagan feast lingered behind. Long ago, there was a thirtyday devotion to Mary, sometimes called "Lady Month," which began on August 15. By the eighteenth century, the custom of assigning devotions to months of the year was developing. June, for example, was the month of the Sacred Heart, and October was for the Holy Rosary. Beginning with the Jesuit Order in Rome and spreading throughout the world, May has been celebrated as the month of Mary, the Blessed Mother, for more than two hundred years. That was a welcome remedy to some enduring pagan practices, such as maypole dancing and the crowning of the May Queen. Some historians say that in ancient times the May Queen was actually a human sacrifice. Devoting May to Mary is undoubtedly a better thing to do. - -Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Durante la Última Cena, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles: "Yo soy la vid, ustedes son los sarmientos" (Juan 15:5). Jesús añade que los sarmientos (ramas) que permanecen en él, dan mucho fruto. Según la agricultura, la vid es una parra, es decir, una planta perenne de ramas frondosas. Una parte importante de la vid son las hojas. Es obvio que una vid tiene hojas, pero Jesús no las menciona, prefiere enfocarse en los sarmientos. Las partes de la vid son las raíces, tronco, sarmientos, hojas, flores y fruto. Según esta división Jesús sería el tronco, pero él dice ser la vid completa. Esta es una imagen de la unidad que Jesús quiere entre sus seguidores. Recordemos que Jesús celebra la Última Cena con sus discípulos. La comunidad de discípulos unidos a Jesús formamos la vid. Los sarmientos o ramas conducen agua y minerales a las hojas, flores y frutos, y son útiles en tanto estén unidos a la vid. Lo mismo vale de los cristianos, discípulos de Jesús. Son ellos y ellas los que hacen presente y le dan vida a Jesús en el mundo de hoy. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. This Thursday is Ascension Thursday, and a Holy Day of Obligation. All Catholics are required to attend Mass.
