Hello all,
Hope you are doing well. Just a quick update, as we did not meet last Sunday for our quarterly Vocations Committee Meeting.
- May 3 is World Day of Prayer for Vocations, so please take some time this Sunday to pray for young men and women to open their hearts to God's plan for their vocation. Be sure your family members and friends know of your support for them in seeking out and answering His call.
- Sunday, May 23: ASPM Diaconate Ordination. I will be sending cards to Bill Duffert and Joe Barron on behalf of the Holy Family Vocations Committee.
- ASPM Priestly Ordination was originally scheduled for May 30, but I have not heard if this is still going to be the date . . . stay tuned to news from the archdiocese.
- I will be sending annniversary cards on behalf of the Holy Family Vocations Committee to our dear pastor, Fr. Joseph Johnson, Fr. Welzbacher (at the Byrne Residence) and Fr. Marcus Milless (full time hospital chaplain) as they celebrate the anniversary of their priestly ordination.
- In this month of May, let us remember to pray the daily Rosary and honor our Blessed Mother in a special way.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
Mary and Bret Hagen
