Rest In Peace Our sincerest sympathies go to the family and friends of Elizabeth Hunt, Carole Porter, and Mary Ann Missy Iapichino. May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. The Sanctuary Candle for this week was donated in loving memory of Michael & Catherine McHale This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one s life for one s friends. ~ John 15:12-13 Do you love Jesus? Do you consider him your friend? Jesus says that if we love Him we would be willing to offer whatever we have to Him, not because we want praise and glory, but simply because we love Him. Does your giving seem to be mechanical out of obligation or do you share freely out of love? Saturday Afternoon At The Movies Mary, Mother of Jesus Join the St. Michael Knights of Columbus for a movie on Saturday, May 12th at 1PM in the parish center, room #3. There is no charge and refreshments will be served! NOVENA TO ST. JUDE THADDEUS Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly for the spiritual renewal and growth of the Diocese of Saint Petersburg, and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen Mark Your Calendar Now!
