Acme Mausoleum Company has recently completed construction on our new mausoleums here at Nativity. With the increasing cost of construction, prices have gone up on the new mausoleum crypts. Nativity of Our Lady has for sale some crypts in our previously-constructed mausoleums. I wanted to give parishioners an opportunity to buy crypts in our older mausoleum at reduced prices. Nativity of Our Lady currently has 5 double crypts on the top row for $8,190 each. The price for a double crypt on the top row in the new mausoleum is $9,850 each. If anyone is interested in considering the purchase of these Nativity-owned crypts at the cheaper prices, please call our church office and we can show you where they are located. God Bless, Fr. Mario K. C. Ladies Auxiliary & Nativity of Our Lady Blood Drive (The Gift of Life) Sunday, May 20, :30am - 11:30am Church Parking Lot Eucharistic Adoration All of the church parishes in New Iberia are working together to make Perpetual Adoration in New Iberia a reality again. The Chapel of Divine Mercy, which is located in St. Peter s Church will be utilized for this special devotion. We will be encouraging individuals to make a one-hour-per-week commitment to adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Please prayerfully consider God s call to participate in this devotion. For more information, or to sign up as an adorer, please contact Ricky Segura at or rickydare@hotmail.com REFLECTIONS The Ascension of the Lord - Jesus sent the apostles into the world to proclaim the good news. As their descendants in faith, we are also given this charge. What do you understand the good news to be? How does your life proclaim the good news? Take some time to prayerfully reflect on what this means and ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Pray to grow in wisdom and fortitude so that your life may be used to spread the good news to others. May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ grant you a spirit of wisdom and insight to know him clearly. - Ephesians 1:17 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.

It assists pregnant women while honoring life and working to preserve the family. ALL OF THEIR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE. The center provides pregnancy testing, consulting, ultrasound imaging, abstinence education, as well as adoption options and other services to pregnant women in need. After receiving these services, 80% of abortion minded mothers will choose life rather than abortion. Baby bank bottles in which to place your donations in will be available after all Masses. You may turn in your baby bottle donations next weekend. It is important to return all baby bottles so that they may be re-used for other campaigns. Please be generous and be a part of saving babies and saving families!

The names on our prayer list will stay on for 90 days. If you want to add or delete a name, please call the office @ 364-8360: Jason Walker, Diane Lopez, Nelson Landry, Betty J.

Thank you. Centennial News Month of Mary - Devotion to Our Lady has been a prominent theme of the people of the Diocese of Lafayette and of her Bishops. In 1953, Bishop Jeanmard asked for all families to pray the Rosary declaring: We do not place all our confidence in the atomic bomb or other lethal weapons of war, but in Jesus Christ and the intercession of our Blessed Mother to whom this Diocese owes so much. Jeanmard and Bishop Schexnayder s episcopal mottos, Sub Tuum Praesidium (Under Thy Protection) and Ad Te Clamamus (To Thee Do We Cry), are both taken from Marian prayers and express their devotion to her.
