2 Living Loved Forever I trust in you, O Lord, I say, You are my God. My times are in your hand. Psalm 31:14-15 Time is measured in seconds, minutes and hours. It s also measured in days, weeks, months and years. Sometimes, though, we measure time by what s happening in our lives. We call them the times or seasons in our life a season of joy or a time of loss. It is comforting to know that no matter what time we find ourselves in, God s love for us remains the same. It does not change with our circumstances. We can confidently trust the God who holds us close always. Peace & Blessings, Fr. Mark Seminarian Corner In Sunday s Gospel reading it records some of Jesus last words to His closest followers before the crucifixion. His primary message is the same one we heard in the second reading: Love one another. We have already seen that love is more than a feeling. Christian love is about giving oneself over to others and giving oneself completely over to God. It is only love of God working in us that makes it possible for us to truly love. We show God s love best when we are in right relationship with God. Sin separates us from God, and we must work on getting back into right relationship with Him. When we let God s love fill us and flow over on to others, then it is amazing what God can do through us. When we have the love of God, we can change the world and bring others closer to God. This week let us regularly offer this simple but beautiful prayer: God, help me to know your love and share it with others. Frank Lennie, Seminarian The Gift of Many Tongues As the Holy Spirit filled the disciples and the gathered crowds, all heard God s Word preached, each in his or her own language. This gift of many tongues was a sign of God s desire for all to know his love, and all to be faithful stewards. Our celebration of Pentecost this year (weekend of May 19 th & 20 th ) will be enhanced by a Multi- Language Liturgy. If you speak a language other than English and wish to speak a prayer in that tongue at one of the Masses, please call or e mail Maryann at the Ministry House, or office@st-pius-x.org. Blessed Mother Memorial Garden In order to commemorate and honor a loved one that has passed, the Blessed Mother Memorial Garden has been built alongside the Blessed Mother s Rosary Prayer Garden. This Memorial Garden will be dedicated to all your loved ones and all the parishioners who have given so much to St. Pius X Church and have passed. Every time you come to Church, there will be a convenient opportunity to pray for them. This Memorial Garden will give you the opportunity to honor and remember a loved one simply by purchasing a Memorial Brick. The cost of each brick is $ It s simple to do. Please complete the form that is available in the vestibule of the Church or on our website and return it to the Ministry House. For more information or if you have questions, please contact the Ministry House. RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process the Roman Catholic Church has for the introduction of the faith and the formation of new adult members.

Dr. Michele Dimaira We the Knights wish to pay tribute to a beautiful family taking leave of our parish and moving to serve in a new parish in the Philadelphia area. We all know Dr. Michele Dimaira as the pretty lady who often reads to us from Scripture, sings in the Church Choir with her beautifully sensitive voice and shows example as the perfect mom to two handsome teenage gentlemen, who also sing and serve at the 10:30 am Mass. Together with her husband, Dr. Louis DiPede, so often very involved in the background of all kinds of events, and the boys, this family has contributed emotionally, spiritually and financially to almost every parish activity. As we wonder who will take their place, we know that they will bring the spirit and their many gifts to a new group that will be made stronger by their presence. Dr. Michelle and her husband, both nationally known dentists are leaving their work at Rutgers School of Medicine and Dentistry to take up positions at Temple University, Maurice Kornberg School of Dentistry. Michele recently said she is following her dream of greater academic involvement as she begins her role as Director of the Post-Graduate Clinic Periodontics and Oral Implantology and Dr. Louis will be serving as Assistant Dean for Advanced Clinical Care. As impressive as their titles seem, they remain loving parents, amazing Christians doing Christ s work of healing and most of all, our friends. As we reflect on the departure of this family, we enthusiastically welcome two new members of the Knights of Columbus, Richard Heim and Justin Mostecki, who both made their first degree with us last Tuesday. We hope their new commitment to serving as the hands of Christ in our community bring them the same rewards it has brought to us. St. Francis reminds us that it is in giving that we receive and for many of us the Knights have become the place to share our giving. OneMontville Green In Day: May 18 th Luminaries!
