Please join us as we celebrate the patronal feast day for our parish at all Masses this weekend. St. Isidore the Farmer is the patron saint of farmers and laborers. This year our patronal feast day falls on a Sunday where we are obliged to use the normal Sunday readings. However the prayers will be from the Feast of St. Isidore. Our processional hymn will be in honor of St. Isidore. We will also recite a Litany to St. St. Isidore after Communion. Following the Litany we will have a special blessing of farmers.  We will have a flyer in the pews with the lyrics to the opening procession and the Litany to St. Isidore so that you all may participate.

Saint Isidore the Farmer is not only the patron saint of farmers but is also the patron saint of rural life. Catholic Rural Life has put together a series of videos to comprise a virtual novena to St. Isidore. Below is Day One from YouTube. To view days 2-9 go to their webpage at: 

The Cemetery maintenance staff is conducting a major clean-up beginning in May. During these major clean-ups all remaining decorations will be removed and disposed of. If you have any decorations that you would like to keep, you should bring them home.

There will an outdoor Rosary Procession at St. Rose of Lima at 5pm on May 22. We will reflect upon the Luminous Mysteries.
