Other Devotions: 

All are welcome! When we pray together, we receive numerous blessings for ourselves, our families, our parish, our pastor, and our community. Won't you join us?

Coming to Mass this weekend? The hymnals are back and can be located on the book rack at each entrance.

Parish Clean-Up Day:  Many hands make light work. Please join us on May 15, from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM, for our Parish Clean-Up Day. This is a fantastic opportunity for high school students who need community service hours to earn them, as well as to reconnect with your Parish Family.
We have windows to clean, bushes to trim, gardens to tend, and all sorts of yard work that needs tackling.
Please bring your gloves, rakes, water bottle, and energy. We will provide lunch and fellowship.

Mother's Day Baby Shower to Benefit Laurel Pregnancy Center: We will be holding our annual Mother's Day Baby Shower next weekend.  If you were away last weekend, please look for one of the colored flyers in the Hall and in the church with the list of the needs for the layettes for the new babies of Laurel Pregnancy Center.

Thanks for your outreaching generosity.
