4 Saint Paul Catholic School 10AM on Wednesday, May 25 th Saint Paul Catholic School celebrated the crowning of the Blessed Mary. Reese Castecka did the crowning, assisted by Paul Doban under the supervision of Teacher Sarah Anderson. It was a lovely event in the school court yard, with all of the students taking part. May 27th THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INVITE YOU! Come one, Come all! Please accept our invitation to our Fifth Sunday Rosary! Sister Monique Dissen, IHM will lead us in the Rosary at 9:30 a.m., on Sunday 29 May, in the Chapel. The time is between Masses, so scheduling should be conducive to everyone attending! It would be wonderful to have attendance require us to move to the Sanctuary!" God Bless us all, please spread the WORD! DIOCESAN CHOIR All vocalists are welcome to participate in singing with the Diocesan Choir for the Priesthood Ordination at Church of St. Catherine of Sienna in Wake Forest, NC. There will be a regional and mandatory rehearsal at Saint Paul on Thursday, May 26th at 7:30-9pm. Space is limited so you must RSVP to Michael.Accurso@raldioc.org ASAP. Any further questions, CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY In and through Christ, God is visible in his mercy. He speaks of it and explains it in parables, but above all he himself makes it incarnate and personifies it. HE HIMSELF IS MERCY. To the one who sees it in him, God becomes visible in a clear way as the Father who is rich in mercy. (Pope John Paul ll in Misericordia) In this Jubilee Year of Mercy let us live every day in the glorious message of past seasons that Jesus, Emmanuel, is with us still forever as merciful Savior and Advocate. Even when we move away in our thoughts, words and deeds, he is here for us, for he never moves!! Have mercy on us, Jesus. DECLARATION OF NULLITY Many people have had the misfortune of a divorce. If you, or a potential spouse, have been divorced there is HELP for you to move on to a happy Catholic marriage. Many think that the declaration of Nullity is ONLY for a Catholic but in truth anyone who was divorced and wants to marry a Catholic must also seek the declaration of nullity before the marriage can take place. 111 The diocese has a Tribunal specifically dedicated to care for those needing this all important ministry. PLEASE, DO NOT wait until you plan to remarry to contact the Tribunal, as the entire process may take up to a year to complete. // There is NO COST to you for this service. Why not get started today?

5 JUNIOR CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS Once again, the girls Served the Lord with Gladness by donating money to RCS. Juliet Rogers, Director of RCS, talked with the girls about the good work RCS does and how helpful any donations are to help others in our community. The Juniors are excited to make plans to visit and help at the Soup Kitchen this summer! For information about JCDA, please contact Paula Hartman ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION Oh Jesus, I turn toward the holy tabernacle where You live hidden for love of me. I love you, O my God. I cannot now receive You in Holy Communion. Come, nevertheless, and visit me with Your grace. Come spiritually into my heart. Purify it. Sanctify it. Render it like unto Your own. Amen. Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI To celebrate this feast day a film THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD, will be shown at 2:30 in the Chapel on Sunday, May 29, This film is about the many Miracles of the Eucharist around the world. It will seem as though you are journeying to the sites yourself and you will leave with a deeper faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Do join us! CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION Please join us for mass at Old Saint Paul, on Friday May 27th at 8:00 am, followed by a procession to Union Point in honor of Corpus Christi. We will end our procession with a prayer and then light refreshments. The annual procession on the feast of Corpus Christi is desirable, when it can truly be a sign of common faith and adoration.

We meet every Sunday morning from 9:15 to 10:30 in the FLC. Our goal is to help you become educated in the faith and to prepare you to receive the sacraments. Sessions are informal and interactive, our goal is to educate and answer the questions presented by those in attendance. Please call the church office at to register or Marcelene McLure at for detailed information.

6 2 JOURNEY OF FAITH We are on a long and eventful journey. Today's readings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover the depth and breadth of our human travels. The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the reading from Proverbs. God's plan filled with divine wisdom was born before the earth was made. In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks of his own personal journey. He has come from the Father and will return to the Father. Only then will the Advocate--the Spirit of Truth--take us onward. This does not diminish the fact that the journey will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, "[W]e even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4). Ultimately, our human journey is modeled by the Holy Trinity--a family of love among Father, Son, and Spirit that we are all called to emulate.
