"Do This in Memory of Me..."
Today Jesus gives us the great command to love another. It flows first, though, from God the Father. God loves first, which begins what some have called a "Chain of Love". Love begins with the Father; his love is completely given to his Son who gives it to us. We in turn extend it to others, which creates the chain.
We can't help but notice that at the end of every Mass we're sent into the world to glorify the Lord with our lives. One way we do that is through the love we show one another. And so, as we come to Mass today, whether on-line or in person, we gather to be sent in the love God has for us, which is meant to be shared (1 John 4:11-12).
Happy Mother's Day!
Today we celebrate the role our mother's have had in our lives and the love they have for us. Click on the image below to receive a special Mother's Day Blessing, which is followed by parishioner Chris Zawadzki's rendition of Schubert's Ave Maria.

CAFE@HOME
Throughout the Easter Season, we're reflecting on beauty and how it draws us to God. Parishioner and artist, Joseph Marco, created "Forgiveness"--an original work of art--for the Saint Hubert Confessional. He takes some time to share some perspectives about his work and how he chose to depict the grace of forgiveness. To view the entire Cafe@Home Easter playlist click here.
Join us Saturday, May 15 for "Chalk the Walk!" If you love to draw, create something beautiful as we dress up the sidewalks around the church. Come anytime between Noon and 2pm to participate. All ages are welcome.
The Food Drive is Today
If you're able to help support the effort, please bring in non-perishable food items, paper goods or even $25 Jewel Gift Cards. This month's collection will help stock the shelves at the Church of the Holy Spirit Food Pantry.
Our patron, Saint Hubert, had a heart for the hungry prisoners being deprived of food. He would sneak them bread at night as an act of mercy and compassion. It's a charism that is a mark of our own generous and compassionate parish.
A Restoration
One of our parishioners generously took the time to help restore some of the wear and tear on the pews as a result of our on-going sanitizing and cleaning operations after every Mass. We're very grateful for his desire to help our community and share his expertise.
We Continue Remaining in Christ
Jesus' words to us last Sunday and today reflect his desire to remain with us as we remain with him. We remain with him whenever we receive his presence in the Eucharist, which compels us to follow his commands and to extend His mission in our world. It's Christ who keeps us together, strengthens us and sends us.
May the peace of Christ remain in you always,
--Fr. Mike and the Parish Staff
